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. It's the transcendence, the awakening, the breaking down of the illusions, the surrender." - Akshay Nanavati In This Episode, Akshay Nanavati Uncovers: [01:10] 60 Days Alone in Antarctica Akshay Nanavati 606 Akshay Nanavati | How To Love Your Fear: The (REAL) Secret To Unlocking Your Pure Potential How the world shows you more about the human soul than any textbook.

[26:45] Pure Experience Why reality is not "either, or." How labels create divisions and limitations. Why words can open the door for us, but can't provide the same value as experience.

How bringing conscious awareness to our self-dialogue can help us change it. Why all unnecessary suffering is the resistance to accepting the isness. How embracing the edge of you makes life more joyful. [59:00] Feel It All Why we need to respect the mystery of God. How Akshay saw value in the delusion he was experiencing during the expedition. Why we shouldn't rob our children of their lessons. How Indian parents tend to over-spoil their kids. Why having our kids experience the full range of emotions builds their resilience.

Today, we're catching up with my friend, and friend of the podcast, Flint Del Sol.Last time Flint was here, his life looked very different than it does today. He was mid-transition, using they/them pronouns, had just started testosterone, and was still teaching. Since then, he's come out, transitioned in public on his social media profiles, survived doxxings, and received bomb threats at the school where he taught.It's been a lot.He chose to leave teaching and move to the desert with his husband for a while, and they've just recently sold their belongings and moved into an airstream with a plan to travel around the country to meet other trans people and gather stories and information to capture the trans experience in the US at this especially challenging and frightening time. And somehow in all of that, Flint also wrote a book called Teach Like an Ally that comes out on July 29, 2025. This book was written for educators who are struggling in environments where they can't openly state their allyship, can't fly rainbow flags, or can't teach or even have queer books in their classrooms. Even if you're not a teacher, this book will help you be a better ally to the queer kids in your life.Every time I talk to Flint, the conversation tends to go off in a million different directions, but it always ends up someplace super nerdy, and someplace deeply emotional. This one is no different. I hope you leave feeling as inspired and ready to do better work as I did.Check out the full episode to hear about:How having survived blowing up his own life before has shaped Flint's relationship to changeHow genuine curiosity and judgment get confused in ourselves and othersWhy it's totally normal to be at reduced capacity right now, and some ideas to help sustain youWhy even in an unfair, unjust world, it's worth continuing to fight for justiceHow deadlines, outlines, and leaning into his unique voice got Flint to the final draftWhy kids need access to an understanding of queer existence that is not fueled by negativity and hateHow making art is an essential part of how Flint processes events and feelingsFind out more about Flint Del Sol:Instagram: @justflintisfineTikTok: @justflintisfineTeach Like an Ally: An Educator's Guide to Nurturing LGBTQ+ StudentsFind out more about Mackenzie Dunham:Wildheartsociety.orgwildheartsociety.org/downloadsWild Heart Society on FacebookWild Heart Society on InstagramResources:Register for CampDonate to the Queer Community NetworkWild Heart Society MerchSeason 04 Ep 03: Fear vs. Curiosity: Being Alive and Trans with Flint, Just Flint Part 1Season 04 Ep 04: Fear vs. Curiosity: Being Alive and Trans with Flint, Just Flint Part 2"Untitled" (Portrait of Ross in L.A.), Félix González-TorresThe Smithsonian's queer erasure of an AIDS artwork should alarm us allGood Bones, Maggie Smith

If you've been thinking the only way to grow your podcast is to go viral, rack up thousands of downloads, and master the almighty algorithm… this episode is your wake-up call.The biggest lie in podcasting is that high download numbers = success. In reality, a huge audience that doesn't convert, engage, or align with your goals isn't helping you grow. It's just inflating your ego, and your burnout.This week, we're busting the biggest myth in the podcasting world and shifting your focus to what actually matters: traction, alignment, and impact.In this episode, we're covering:The real metrics that matter more than download numbersWhy tiny, dialed-in audiences convert better than stadiums full of strangersThe difference between virality and visibility, and which one actually helps your businessWhat to track instead of downloads to see sustainable growthHow to tighten your content strategy so your podcast works for youWhy your call-to-action might be sabotaging your growth (and how to fix it)Episode Resources:Download the 12-Week Content Planner – Get your episodes flowing toward your goal Day of Voxer – Let's fix this together.

Are you somebody who really cares about wildlife and conservation and you're trying to get people to change their behavior? Reduce their carbon footprint? Get them to not litter? Or keep their cats indoors to save birds? Whether it's getting people to switch to clean energy sources or eating less meat to help save the planet, all of these things all require human behavior change, and the foundation of such change is communication. A lot of people tend to think we just need to educate people more - that people have a deficiency in knowledge, and that if only we could get people to understand the data and studies like we do, then they would see the error in their ways. But as we've seen with well-researched topics with lots of supporting data and studies like climate change and vaccines, this is not true. There is more to it! We need effective communication, which requires dialogue. This week's podcast is inspired by two events: (1) the results of the 2024 election here in the United States where we saw the public vote for an administration that is anti-environment and science and (2) the aftermath of me reading an eye-opening, enlightening, and highly entertaining book on the subject of rethinking by social scientist Adam Grant: Think Again. In this episode I talk about how to be a more effective communicator, get people to rethink their opinions and values (including yourself!), and teach you how to have productive, engaging, and useful debates with people who think, at times, very differently than you. I am living proof it is possible!The lessons shared largely come from the book Think Again, but also my own personal experience engaging with and even being friends with people from “the other side.” You'll learn how to reframe your perspective on arguments so you don't feel exhausted, angry, or drained, how effective listening is critical in debate, and how providing nuance, multiple perspectives, and humility can make you more effective in changing minds. Often when we talk about working with wildlife, we think about it from the animal's perspective and studying the species, but in reality, almost all of the conservation solutions with declining biodiversity have to do with interventions on the human side. Want to save wolves? We need to reduce poaching. Want to save monarchs? We need to get people to plant more milk weed and reduce habitat loss. These things require interventions on the human side. So if you are someone who works in science or conservation, or are simply someone who wants to create more positive change in the world, then this episode is for you!Specifically I talk about: Why it's important to engage in debate and that it doesn't have to be hostile, exhausting, or heatedHow debate makes us stronger leaders and better scientistsHow spirited discussions helped Disney create Pixar's The Incredibles that went on to win two OscarsHow to reframe arguments into debates and learn how to dance rather than fightCommon “don'ts” and mistakes that many people make that close people off and cause them to dig more into their original beliefsHow to motivate someone to share information with youWhy facts alone don't work in changing mindsThat asking questions activates a rethinking cycle in your debate partner (and yourself!)Why listening is critical to getting people to open up and be receptiveHow the “vaccine whisperer” got people to vaccinate their children through non-judgemental empowerment and listeningThat binary or black and white thinking can actually cause people to move away from your causeHow uncertainty and humility can make you more effective in changing mindsAnd more!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?

Why do women still struggle with menopause symptoms in silence? Why is there still so little research and so much misinformation about women's health?In this episode, Tamsen Fadal, Emmy award-winning journalist, author, and passionate advocate for women's health, shares her personal journey through perimenopause and menopause. She opens up about dealing with brain fog, anxiety, and sleepless nights, and why she left a successful 30-year career in journalism to change the conversation around menopause and midlife. From the inspiration behind her PBS documentary The M Factor to her new book How to Menopause, Tamsen dives deep into:The healthcare gaps in women's hormone careThe stigma of aging in the workplaceThe importance of community, advocacy, and personalized health careWhether HRT or natural remedies are right for youWhy midlife is not a crisis—it's a new beginningIf you or someone you love is going through menopause or perimenopause, this episode is a must-watch for navigating the changes, understanding your options, and learning how to reclaim your health and confidence. Listen in and discover why menopause is NOT just a women's issue, but a societal and cultural one we all need to talk about.Thank you to our sponsorTimeline: https://timeline.com/DRTAZ 00:00 - Introduction 03:00 - What Led Tamsen to Focus on Menopause & Midlife Health? 07:55 - The Rise of the Menopause Movement & Why It Matters 15:17 - Why Menopause is NOT Just a Women's Issue 22:47 - The Workplace & Menopause: What Needs to Change 27:01 - The Power of Community in Midlife & Beyond 31:32 - Tamsen Fadal's Book: How to MenopauseTamsen Fadal's Bio:Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, author, documentary filmmaker, and social media's “midlife mentor.” After more than three decades as a news anchor, Tamsen made the bold decision to pivot her career toward women's advocacy. From the bedroom to the boardroom, she serves as a best friend and guide, a one-stop resource for everything women need to thrive during midlife and beyond. With a passionate and loyal social media audience of 4 million with 50 million monthly views, Tamsen leverages her decades of journalism experience to provide actionable tools from dozens of world-renowned experts on topics that women like herself have been curious about, afraid to talk about, or ashamed to ask.Tamsen is the creator and producer of the groundbreaking PBS documentary, “The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause”, which has galvanized a global movement. It has been viewed by over 1 million women, led to thousands of screenings around the world, and is the first documentary on menopause accredited to provide Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits for doctors.Her latest book, How To Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before (Balance Publishing), will be available in March of 2025.Tamsen's candor and relatability have taken her from the boardroom to the stage at SXSW to Capitol Hill, where she advocates for policies that eliminate the stigma of menopause and foster an environment where women feel empowered to embrace their midlife transition, finding joy,confidence, and fulfillment through every life stage. In November 2024, she joined fellowdocumentary producer Denise Pines and Senator Patty Murray, D-Wash., to highlight a bill at a panel on Capitol Hill — the first time, according to Murray, that such a discussion about menopause took place in the U.S. Capitol. Fadal regularly appears in the media, including Oprah Daily, The Today Show, The New York Times, and The Harvard Business Review.Tamsen holds a certificate in holistic health coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, serves on the national board of Let's Talk Menopause, and is a strong voice in the fight against breast cancer, having lost her mother to the disease in 1990.Tamsen currently lives in New York City and Santa Monica with her husband Ira Bernstein.Stay ConnectedSubscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsFollow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Join the conversation on X: https://x.com/@drtazmdTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drtazmdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtazmd/Connect with Tamsen Fadal:https://www.tamsenfadal.com/https://www.instagram.com/tamsenfadal/Host & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by Rainbow Creative (Executive Producer: Matthew Jones; Lead Producer: Lauren Feighan; Editors: Jeremiah Schultz and Patrick Edwards)Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+

Burnout isn't just prevalent in today's culture—it's practically glorified. We've been conditioned to believe that pushing harder, running faster, and sacrificing more is the only path to success. But I've discovered there's a fundamental flaw in this approach: when we're fueled by fear, anxiety, or scarcity, we're drawing from a finite energy source that inevitably depletes us.Over the years, I've experienced a profound shift in my relationship with work. Despite working more hours than ever before in my entrepreneurial ventures, I feel less burnout and more alignment than at any previous point in my career. The secret? I've learned to source my energy from love rather than fear.When we operate from unconscious patterns and limiting beliefs inherited from culture, family, or religion, we're constantly fighting against ourselves. This creates tension in our system and eventually leads to exhaustion. But when we can align with a more authentic way of being that's in congruence with love, we tap into an infinite energy source that fuels creativity, connection, and inspiration.In this episode, Alex and I dive deep into what it takes to make this pivotal shift from being pushed by fear to being pulled by love.What you'll learn:The fundamental difference between being pushed by fear versus being pulled by loveHow to identify when you're operating from unconscious patterns and fear-based belief systemsPractical techniques to shift your perspective when facing challenging tasksWhy traditional "hustle culture" leads to burnout and how to work intensely without depleting yourselfThe role of surrender in accessing deeper sources of energy and inspirationHow to develop courage as a key ingredient for authentic livingTechniques for raising your standards by lowering your tolerance for what doesn't serve youWhy understanding your unique design and natural rhythms is crucial for sustainable successThe transformative power of gratitude in shifting from resentment to appreciationIf you're tired of feeling exhausted, if you're questioning whether the hustle is worth it, or if you're simply seeking a more sustainable way to pursue your passions—this episode is for you.I've walked the path from burnout to alignment, and I know firsthand that it's possible to do meaningful, impactful work without sacrificing your wellbeing. The frameworks and tools shared in this conversation aren't just theoretical—they're the exact practices that have transformed my relationship with work and allowed me to access a deeper, more sustainable source of energy.Your life is in direct proportion to what you tolerate. If you want a better life, just tolerate less. By choosing to source your energy from love rather than fear, you can break free from the burnout cycle and discover what it truly means to work in flow.Join Alex and I as we explore how courage, surrender, and self-understanding can help you tap into an infinite source of inspiration that makes even challenging work feel energizing rather than draining.Legal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Welcome back to the She Believes She Could Podcast! Today's episode is all about stepping into your power, owning your brilliance, and unlocking that next level of success. You've already accomplished so much, but something inside you is calling for more—more alignment, more impact, more opportunity. And I'm here to remind you that you are not stuck. You are simply being called higher.In this episode, we'll break down: ✔️ Why the feeling of being “stuck” is actually a signal that you're ready to elevate ✔️ The mindset shifts you need to move beyond your current level of success ✔️ Why what got you here won't necessarily get you there✔️ The power of identity—stepping into the next version of YOU ✔️ Why building your brand is the key to attracting new opportunitiesIf you're ready to say YES to your next level and stop playing small, this conversation is for you! Key Takeaways:✨ You are not stuck—you are being called to rise. That feeling of wanting more is a sign of expansion, not limitation. ✨ What got you here won't get you there. Hard work got you started, but alignment and intentionality will elevate you. ✨ Say YES to the right things. Not every opportunity is meant for you. Learning to say “no” creates space for what's truly in alignment. ✨ Step into your future self today. Success isn't about waiting until you feel ready. It's about acting as if you're already there. ✨ Your brand is your superpower. Building a strong, aligned brand makes success inevitable. Resources & Links Mentioned:
