    Inner Work, Outer Impact with Dr. Susanne von der Becke

    Change, it's said, begins within – and it's hard to imagine a more inspiring advocate for inner change and outer action than Dr. Susanne von der Becke. Susanne's path to mindful living grew, from the inside out, through her work as a scientist, economist, and banker. Along the way she realized the power of an inner-guided way of living, a path she today teaches at corporate retreats, well-being forums, and individual work in Europe and around the world. She's an active investor and board mem...

    Breath and Presence with Zee Clarke, Author, Mindfulness Guide, Breath Expert

    Breath is essential to each moment of your life – yet seldom do we realize, or harness, its power. Yet we can guide, even reset, the outlooks and presence with which we navigate the world when we understand the power of breath. Zee Clarke illuminates that path through her book Black People Breathe and through the abundance of resources she shares via YouTube, Instagram, her website, and in all that she does. Listen to Zee and you'll connect with the power of YOUR ...

    Back to the Brain: Embodied Intelligence & The Body Brain

    What took this episode so long? Seriously, it was the amount of eye-opening information on how much intelligence there is to be discovered in the systems of your body – so much so that I don't think I'll ever see the "brain" as the 3-pound mass so far explored in this episode. It is and you are so much more. We scratch the surface here with a look at the "body brain" of the brainstem, medulla oblangata, and cerebellum... then wander down to the Vagus Nerve to really light things up. I'v...

    Oxytocin and the Power of Love (Hormones)

    Between us? I believe we humans, and all beings, are much (much) more than machines driven by pulses of electricity and surges of chemicals in the body and brain. That's the "mechanistic" view, and – much to a few science-focused friends' dismay – I'm not a mechanist. Though... our neurochemistry, and the way it interacts with lots of other things in the body, across the brain, and in the world around us, DOES shape much of our experience of life. This episode looks at one such chemical...

    Everyday Mindfulness: PRESENCE

    Take 15 minutes to breathe, invite curiosity, balance your mind, and ... experience presence. Maybe you're noticing a theme between the last few episodes and Everyday Mindfulness practices: something about you having more agency and power in your life than the common narratives want you to believe. After all, it's harder for them to meet their goals when you, as the saying goes, are the product. Thanks to wisdom guide and Buddhist scholar/teacher Pamela Weiss for her many sparks of i...

    Emotional Rescue: Disarming the Amygdala Hijack

    In this episode you'll meet two tiny organelles with the power to transform you – or anyone – into a fight, flight, or freeze follower of their survival agenda: your amygdalae. The fight or flight response, or its more modern-day expression, the "Amygdala Hijack," carries an ancient legacy of success in getting our long line of ancestors away from threats to their survival. After all, we wouldn't be here today if their collective amygdalae hadn't excelled at firing the "alert and conv...

    The Power of Curiosity with Mónica Guzmán

    Some of us are already bracing ourselves for the conflict and tension anticipated in the upcoming 2024 US elections. Yet we don't have to wait 'til then for the escalation of polarizing political – and media – triggers that seem to show up wherever we look. And often, uncomfortably close to home. This episode shares the unique, bridge-building perspectives of author, activist, and Braver Angel Mónica Guzmán, whose bestselling book, I Never Thought of it That Way," guides new ways of think...
