When emotions clash with reason, clarity feels impossible. In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with psychologists Dr. Shireen Rizvi and Dr. Jesse Finkelstein — coauthors of Real Skills for Real Life — to explore how Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) turns emotional chaos into calm, actionable wisdom. They break down DBT's balance of change and acceptance, show how to identify “skills deficits” behind recurring struggles, and reveal why mindfulness and emotional awareness are the foundation of resilience. You'll learn how to use DBT's practical frameworks — including the Wise Mind and DEAR MAN skills — to strengthen communication, build emotional regulation, and handle difficult conversations without losing self-respect. Whether you're negotiating at work, managing conflict, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this conversation gives you a playbook for thinking clearly and acting with intention — even under pressure.

Caroline Flack was a Bafta-winning TV presenter, host of shows including Love Island and The X Factor. In February of 2020, she took her own life ahead of a court case in which she was charged with the assault of her then boyfriend, after weeks of press scrutiny. Her mother Christine Flack tells Clare McDonnell about spending the past five years uncovering documents from the Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service to try to find out more about the events around Caroline's death and she also questions the role of the press. That journey is documented in a two-part documentary out on Disney+ called Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth.A new schools inspection system begins in England today. Overall judgements, such as 'good' or 'requires improvement,' have been scrapped and schools will now be given one of five grades in several different categories. The changes were prompted by the death of the head teacher Ruth Perry, who took her own life in January 2023 whilst waiting for the publication of an Ofsted report she knew would grade her school as "inadequate." Clare speaks to the BBC Education Reporter Vanessa Clarke and Tom Middlehurst, Deputy Director of Policy at the Association of School and College Leaders.Louise Penny is the multi award-winning Canadian crime novelist. Her books have sold over 18 million copies worldwide and this year marks the 20th anniversary of her hugely popular Inspector Gamache series. Her latest novel is called The Black Wolf and follows on from her previous one The Grey Wolf. Gamache has foiled a plot to poison Montreal's drinking water, but has discovered that this is simply phase one of a dark master plan and he needs to take on not only an organised crime syndicate, but also delve into the murky depths of government and power to discover who the black wolf is. There is a brand new podcast out from a familiar voice - Emma Barnett: Ready to Talk, in which Emma invites listeners into her world for bold, honest, and deeply human conversations about the experiences in life that shape and connect us. In the first episode Emma talks to her friend, the journalist and presenter Kate Thornton, about something she's never spoken about publicly before: perimenopause. In the UK, 13 million women are currently experiencing the perimenopause, or menopause, but information about what it is and what can help can be hard to find. Emma tells Clare about her own experience.Presenter: Clare McDonnell Producer: Andrea Kidd

Nigel's guest today is Matt Terry. Matt is a singer, songwriter and performer who won the TV talent show The X Factor in 2016. His singing career after the show resulted in a top three single, a top 30 album and working with stars like Enrique Iglesias and Sean Paul but his time in the spotlight was short-lived and peppered with fear that his hidden sexuality would be revealed to the world. Matt has always known that he was queer but for many years kept it secret from everyone due to his own insecurities and internalised fears. He came out publicly in 2024 with the beautiful self-penned track His Car and is now making fabulous new music that the world needs to hear.This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every episode Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And it always guarantees A Gay Old Time!Follow the podcast on TikTok @agayoldtime and on Instagram @agayoldtimepodcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why do only 9% of people and companies grow stronger during crises? According to Harvard Business School professor and author Ranjay Gulati, the answer isn't intelligence—it's courage. In this episode, AJ and Johnny unpack what it means to act in the face of fear, not in the absence of it. Drawing from decades of research and Ranjay's new book The Soul of Courage, the conversation explores why we're hardwired to freeze under uncertainty, how the most courageous people “resource” themselves to act, and what separates bold leadership from reckless risk-taking. From stories of NASA pilots and nuclear engineers to everyday professionals stepping up under pressure, this episode is a masterclass in practical courage—how to develop it, share it, and lead with it when everything's on the line. What to Listen For [00:01:38] Why 91% of companies retreat in recessions—and 9% win [00:03:06] The psychology of “loss avoidance” and our addiction to safety [00:05:00] The difference between risk and uncertainty—and why the brain freezes [00:07:08] The Fear Equation: redefining courage as action in the face of fear [00:08:44] The Stanford snake experiment and building a “can-do” mindset [00:11:00] How domain mastery and belief from others fuel self-efficacy [00:14:47] Bold vs. reckless: Aristotle's timeless lesson on measured risk [00:18:54] Courage is not a solo act: the importance of your “support squad” [00:24:32] The link between deep purpose and enduring courage [00:26:31] How to “act your way into knowing” when data is unclear [00:30:03] The science of calm—rituals that regulate fear and focus [00:33:05] Rewriting your personal story to unlock courage [00:38:38] How charisma inspires collective courage in others A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

There are moments in our faith journey when everything changes — when the veil lifts, when truth becomes personal, when God reveals Himself in a way that leaves no doubt: this is real.For me, that moment happened in front of the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist has been the X-factor in my life and my walk with Christ — not an idea, not a symbol, but the living presence of Jesus: Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.Trusting without seeing. Believing without fully understanding. Taking Jesus at His word in John chapter 6, when He promises that His flesh is true food and His blood is true drink. That trust — that surrender — has opened a floodgate of grace in my life that I cannot fully explain, but I can testify to.In Holy Communion, Jesus has given me peace in storms that should have broken me.Hope when situations looked hopeless.Strength beyond my capacity.And a burning fire in my soul to live differently — because He lives in me.Daily Mass has changed everything. Time before the Blessed Sacrament— Jesus in the Eucharist as the center of my faith is where I find him because he is the center of my life. Today, we continue through the second half of John 6, and I share why the Eucharist isn't just a belief for me — it is my lifeline, my anchor, and the love that sustains me.If you've ever struggled to trust without seeing… If you've wondered how to encounter God in a deeper way…If you're longing for a faith that fills you, fuels you, and transforms you…This episode is for you. Let's step into the mystery — and discover the miracle that is Jesus in the Eucharist.#JesusInTheEucharist #FaithJourney #John6 #HolyCommunion #CatholicFaith #EucharisticRevival #DailyMass #TrustWithoutSeeing #JesusIsLord #BreadOfLife #GodIsReal #HolySpirit #ef3life #lifetothefullest #hope #catholic #sacrament #xfactor #grace #peace #consecration #Transubstantiation #love #god #jesus #believe
Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 31ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1986 tháinig sé amach go raibh Samantha Nolan ar ais lena chlann I mBaile Átha Cliath tar éis obráid a shábháil a shaol. I 2003 tháinig sé amach go raibh RTÉ chun thaispeáin a lán sacar príomhroinn tar éis a rinne siad margadh chun thaispeáin cluichí gach Sathairn do trí shraith. I 1970 bhí méadú den cháin bhóthair sa bhuiséid nua. Bhí an méadú ann do fheithicil príobháideach, cáin ar só agus cáin do chomhlachtaí. Sin na rudaí a tháinig an aire airgeadas amach leis sa Dáil. I 2003 bhí bagairt ann go mbeadh ardú de na praghas de thí nua timpeall an tír ach tháinig Comhairleoir timpeall an chontae amach nach mbeidís chun é seo a dhéanamh. Tháinig siad amach ag moladh tobhach nua. Sin Fatman Scoop le Be Faithful – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2003. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2005 dhíol siad culaith a chaith John Lennon ar an chlúdaigh den albam Abbey Road, I gceant do 118 míle dollar I Los Vegas. Dhíol siad Austin Princess a thiomáin John Lennon sa scannán faisnéise Imagine, do 150 míle dollar. Chuaigh cuid den airgead go dtí Amnesty International. I 2007 chabhraigh Leona Lewis leis an íoslódáil ar líne sa Bhreatain mar íoslódáil timpeall 1.7 milliúin daoine amhráin éagsúla I seachtain amháin. Dhíol Leona Lewis níos mó ná 106 míle íoslódáil de a amhrán Bleeding Love. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh giotáraí Johnny Marr sa Bhreatain I 1963 agus rugadh amhránaí Vanilla Ice I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1967 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Agus sin é I gcóir Ar An Lá Seo – go raibh míle maith agaibh as éisteacht do bhliain ar fad agus is féidir libh dul ar clare.fm chun éisteacht siar ar aon dóibh. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 31st of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1986: Little Samantha Nolan was back in the arms of her family in Dublin after an operation that has probably saved her life. 2003: A feast of live premiership football was being promised by RTE after it secured a deal to screen Saturday afternoon matches for the next 3 seasons. 1970: Car owners were hit in the budget after An increase in the cost of road tax on private vehicles, wholesale tax on luxuries and direct taxation of companies were the features of the supplementary budget brought into Dáil Eireann by the new minister of finance. 2003: The threat of massive hikes in the price of new housing across the country was removed by Clare County Councilors when they rejected the draft scheme proposing a range of new levies at their adjourned October meeting. That was Fatman Scoop with Be Faithful – the biggest song on this day in 2003 Onto music news on this day In 2005 The white suit worn by John Lennon on the cover of the Beatles' Abbey Road album sold for $118,000 (£66,385) at an auction in Las Vegas. And an Austin Princess hearse driven by the late star in the documentary Imagine sold for $150,000 (£84,388). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the items went to Amnesty International. 2007 22-year-old X Factor winner singer Leona Lewis helped boost UK online music downloads to a record 1.7 million in one week making it the biggest week ever for download sales. Lewis sold more than 106,000 downloads of her track ‘Bleeding Love.' And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – guitarist Johnny Marr was born in the UK in 1963 and singer Vanilla Ice was born in America on this day in 1967 and this is one of his songs. And that ends our amazing Ar An Lá Seo over the last year – thank you so much for listening and to listen back to any of them you can head on over to our website clare.fm.

What makes people trust you faster, remember your message longer, and say “yes” more often? Behavioral science has the answers. In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with behavioral science expert and author Richard Shotton to break down the psychological tactics behind persuasion, trust, and influence that anyone—not just brands—can use. From the power of concrete language to the pratfall effect, messenger bias, social proof, and scarcity hacks, Richard explains why these timeless psychological triggers work just as well in networking and sales as they do in billion-dollar marketing campaigns.

It is no secret that engagement is the key to influence. It's one of the biggest themes of my work with my clients. We also focus on how and why information and data are not engaging on their own. We know great messaging is essential, but there's another piece. The biggest secret to engagement – and therefore the secret to having your message land with impact – is you. You can have fantastic core messaging and still mess up the engagement piece. And when that happens, when the messaging is good, but the engagement fails, that is almost always caused by bringing the wrong energy, vibration, frequency to the encounter. It happens more often than you'd think. And there are some very specific reasons why it tends to happen. That's what I want to explore today, and help you do things a little bit differently. So that you can consistently bring the kind of energy and vibration and frequency that is going to engage that decisionmaker. In this episode, we share:The biggest driver of your energetic state in a conversation with a decisionmakerHow to consciously choose the energy you bring, and the emotional state you operate from with decisionmakers, especially when you're worried about an unwanted resultFive common emotion-based mistakes many leaders make that can kill the deal, and what to do insteadHow to raise the decisionmaker's energy and increase the chances of getting a ‘yes' from themThree powerful beliefs to operate from with any decisionmaker that will keep you in a powerful energetic stateHelp spread the word! If you found value in this episode, I'd be grateful if you would leave a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Your reviews help other nonprofit leaders find the podcast. Thanks!!
Most networking advice tells you to “be nice” — but nice is forgettable. In this episode, AJ and Johnny reveal the three hidden signals spies use to win rooms, open doors fast, and build influence without small talk. You'll learn how to spot the leader signal (who really runs the room), the wish signal (what someone quietly wants), and the fence signal (what they're protecting). These micro-signals determine who gets remembered, trusted, and invited back. Whether you're trying to close a deal, land a promotion, or make your next event actually count, this episode gives you the tactical networking playbook used by elite operators in high-stakes situations — and shows you how to apply it in everyday life.

On today's episode, we welcome the multi-talented Kim Ray, a writer, producer, and director whose career spans reality TV, documentaries, and scripted projects. Best known for her work on the Netflix documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, Kim's journey through the industry is an inspiring tale of creativity, resilience, and innovation.Our conversation begins with Kim's fascinating experience co-writing West Bank Story, a parody of West Side Story that cleverly blended humor with themes of peace and cultural commonality. As Kim describes, “It was about showing that even in a world full of conflict, there's so much that connects us.” The project, which gained significant recognition, was a testament to her ability to merge art with meaningful messages.Kim's transition into reality television was both unexpected and transformative. While it wasn't her original focus, she brought her narrative expertise to shows like The X Factor and Kendra on Top. “Reality TV,” Kim explains, “requires storytelling that's just as nuanced as scripted work. You're shaping real moments into something cohesive and engaging.” Her work on these projects highlights her adaptability and deep understanding of human emotion.One of the standout points in Kim's career was producing Gaga: Five Foot Two. The project offered an intimate glimpse into Lady Gaga's life, showcasing her vulnerabilities and strength. Kim recounts the challenges of crafting such an unfiltered narrative, saying, “The magic was in the authenticity. Gaga was raw and real, and we wanted viewers to feel like they were walking alongside her.” The minimal crew and close collaboration created an unparalleled connection between the subject and the audience.Beyond her professional achievements, Kim's insights into the industry's evolution are enlightening. She speaks candidly about the systemic challenges women face in Hollywood, sharing how she navigated a landscape often dominated by male voices. Her reflections on the #MeToo movement underscore the importance of platforms like social media for amplifying marginalized voices. “It's a double-edged sword,” Kim notes, “but it's also a powerful tool for change.”Kim's current project, Violet's New Life, delves into the futuristic concept of consciousness transfer.

Brief DescriptionWhy do some people always seem “lucky” while others miss out? In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with Wharton economics professor Judd Kessler, author of Lucky by Design, to reveal the hidden rules that govern life's most important markets—from dating to job hunting to Taylor Swift tickets. These “choose me” markets don't run on money alone; they run on signals, timing, and strategy. You'll learn why signaling interest often beats being perfect, how “settling for silver” can land you gold, and why gaming the system sometimes backfires. Judd breaks down strategies for college admissions, career opportunities, dating apps, and even Costco parking lots. Whether you're chasing a dream job, trying to stand out in dating, or just fighting bots for concert tickets, this conversation shows you how to design your own luck.

What if confidence wasn't in your head, but in your posture? In this episode, AJ and Johnny unpack the science of body language and embodied cognition—how standing tall, opening your chest, and taking up space sends powerful signals to your brain and to everyone around you. Backed by psychology research, they show how posture isn't just a reflection of mood—it actively creates it. You'll discover why slumped shoulders and “phone posture” leak low status, while upright, expansive body language instantly boosts mood, confidence, and presence. From the “doorway drill” to quick body checks, AJ and Johnny share practical tools to reset your default signals so you project confidence in every meeting, date, or social interaction—before you even say a word. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why posture changes your mood, confidence, and signals [00:01:19] How unconscious slumping leaks insecurity—and how body checks fix it [00:02:48] The epidemic of phone posture and desk work destroying confidence [00:03:13] Embodied cognition: how your body teaches your mind to feel safe or defeated [00:04:04] Research: upright posture increases self-esteem, mood, and processing speed [00:04:28] Power posing and why expansive body language boosts risk tolerance [00:05:16] The posture loop: stand tall, make eye contact, take up space, smile [00:06:03] The doorway drill: reset your posture every time you walk through a door [00:07:04] Client story: how Jim rewired his posture with reminders and changed his default [00:07:43] Why confidence is easier to control through body language than thoughts A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

Are we drowning in psychobabble? In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with psychotherapist and author Joe Nucci to debunk the viral mental health myths dominating social media. From the overuse of “trauma” and “gaslighting” to the idea that everyone needs therapy, Joe exposes how pop-psychology has blurred the lines between real treatment and trendy jargon. They dig into why therapy has become a status symbol, how diagnoses are being misused as identity labels, and the dangers of weaponizing terms like narcissism in dating and relationships. Joe also explains what gaslighting actually is (and why it can't happen in a single argument), and how social media is encouraging unhealthy identity-seeking through mental health labels. Whether you've rolled your eyes at overused buzzwords online—or wondered if you're guilty of using them yourself—this conversation will help you cut through the noise, spot real red flags, and separate genuine mental health wisdom from misleading myths. What to Listen For [00:00:22] Defining psychobabble—why using therapy language as weapons is so common [00:03:23] Why we crave explanations—and how psychobabble gives false certainty [00:04:52] Myth #1: “Everybody needs therapy”—why it's not true [00:07:36] How therapy turned into a status symbol and dating requirement [00:12:59] Is more intimacy always better? Why therapy shouldn't replace real connection [00:17:18] Myth #2: “Everyone has trauma”—the real definition of trauma vs. pop culture [00:25:39] Myth #3: “Your diagnosis is your identity”—why labels aren't the end point [00:32:30] How “awkward” became “neurodivergent”—the dangers of expanding definitions [00:36:25] Why “everyone's ex is a narcissist” has become toxic for relationships [00:46:25] The real definition of gaslighting—and why it takes time, not one fight [00:52:01] How true gaslighting destroys self-trust and why casual misuse is harmful [00:53:36] Where to find Joe's book Psychobabble: Viral Mental Health Myths and the Truths That Will Set You Free A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

Why do some people command instant respect without saying a word? In this episode, AJ and Johnny reveal the four high value signals that separate quiet authority from desperate posturing. Respect isn't about aggression, volume, or proving you belong—it's about presence. With research from Harvard and Frame Strength studies, they unpack how calmness, cooperation, congruent body language, and responsibility change the way people see you in any room. You'll learn why calm authority beats dominance, why spotlighting others actually raises your own status, and how subtle shifts in posture and eye contact project confidence before you speak. Through client stories and science-backed insights, AJ and Johnny show how these hidden behaviors flip the script—turning you from overlooked to magnetic. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why respect isn't about dominance but presence [00:01:20] Calm authority as the strongest frame in any room [00:02:08] Why cooperation—not competition—earns lasting respect [00:02:34] How spotlighting others signals leadership [00:02:48] Congruent body language and stillness as confidence cues [00:03:31] Why intentional goals erase nervous energy [00:04:37] Taking responsibility as the ultimate trust builder [00:06:05] Client story: Shane's promotion after flipping competitive signals [00:06:47] Low value vs. high value: notice me vs. I notice you [00:07:50] Weekly challenge: practice one high value signal per day [00:08:13] How the Influence Index reveals your default signals A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

What if your emotions weren't problems to fix, but signals to guide you? Dr. Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of Permission to Feel and Dealing with Feeling, joins AJ and Johnny to break down why most of us were never taught real emotional regulation—and how to finally build it. Marc shares the RULER framework (Recognize, Understand, Label, Express, Regulate) and explains why emotional regulation is less about suppression and more about awareness, vocabulary, and strategy. From the “emotional budget” that gets depleted by sleep loss and stress, to the critical difference between anxiety, stress, and fear, this conversation reframes emotions as tools for better decision-making, relationships, and performance. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, mislabeled your emotions, or struggled to manage reactions in parenting, work, or conflict, this episode gives you practical science-backed steps to regulate instead of ruminate. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why we're programmed early to self-sabotage and mismanage emotions [00:01:09] Why most of us were never taught emotional regulation—and why it matters [00:03:33] How emotions secretly drive decision-making, relationships, and health [00:04:59] The concept of an “emotional regulation budget” and why sleep, food, and stress deplete it [00:06:57] Why scheduling wellbeing time is as important as scheduling work [00:11:15] Why 80% of students dropped out of Marc's mindfulness study—and what it reveals about achievement culture [00:16:24] Why there's no such thing as a “bad” emotion and how reframing anxiety changes everything [00:23:15] The real difference between anxiety, stress, and fear—and why labeling matters [00:27:16] Parenting and co-regulation: how to model emotional regulation for kids [00:31:03] How childhood programming and self-talk sabotage our ability to cope [00:39:37] Building emotional vocabulary: inside the How We Feel app with 500+ emotion words [00:46:17] What to do when you're “flooded” and overwhelmed in conflict [00:48:55] The RULER framework explained: recognize, understand, label, express, regulate A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.
