    The Goo Stage

    "Is everything alright?" That's what a Chief Marketing Officer asked Cameron before delivering feedback that rattled his ego and left him disoriented in ways he couldn't explain. He didn't have language for what happened next. Virginia Satir did. In the 1970s, family therapist Virginia Satir mapped something she kept seeing in the families she worked with: change doesn't move in a straight line. After a foreign element arrives — a piece of feedback, a job loss, a diagnosis, a conversation that changes everything — what follows isn't smooth transition. It's chaos. Performance drops. Clarity disappears. You may feel less capable than before the change began. And then there's the butterfly. Inside the chrysalis, a caterpillar doesn't gradually transform — it dissolves completely into goo. A cellular soup of pure chaos. It is, for a time, neither caterpillar nor butterfly. That dissolution isn't a sign something went wrong. It's the biological prerequisite for what comes next. The reframe: if you're in the middle of something that feels unresolved right now, consider the possibility that you're not failing to change. You may simply be in the goo.

    The 90-Second Rule of Emotions

    Have you ever felt an emotion that seemed to last all day — long after the moment that triggered it had passed? In this episode, Cameron shares the story of one of the worst presentations of his life — a packed room, a disaster on stage, and an embarrassment that followed him into the shower and stayed for days. It took years to understand why. Harvard-trained neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor documented something remarkable while studying her own stroke in real time: the physiological lifespan of an emotion is approximately 90 seconds. The chemicals flood your body, peak, and flush out. After that, if the feeling persists, it's because we're choosing — consciously or not — to keep retriggering it. The reframe: the next time a feeling hits hard, ask yourself — am I still feeling this, or am I now feeding it? Show Notes:Taylor, J.B. (2008). My Stroke of Insight. Viking.Related: Somatic Literacy

    Avoiding Difficult Conversations

    Most of us know what needs to be said. We rehearse it. And then we fall back into niceness at the last moment. In this episode, Cameron shares a story from his time managing a colleague who had real power in their relationship — and how he discovered there was a name for what he was doing: reciprocity bias. First identified by sociologist Alvin Gouldner in 1960, reciprocity bias is the unconscious tendency to give what we hope to receive. In feedback relationships, it shows up as softened truths, withheld observations, and the quiet choice to be nice rather than kind. The reframe: before your next honest conversation, ask yourself — am I saying this because it's true and useful, or because I'm managing what comes back to me?

    Healing Trauma & Somatic Experiencing

    Your body isn't just a vehicle for your brain; it is the archive of your life. We often think we are overreacting to the present when we are actually reacting to a past that our body doesn't realize is over. Sharing a personal journey of healing from childhood abuse, Cameron discusses Somatic Experiencing and the development of Somatic Literacy—the ability to read our body's unspoken stories of tension, breath, and posture.

    Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy

    Let's get beyond psychedelics as tools to "delete" old pain. In my experience, that isn't how they work. But they did help me hold the vast complexity of the human heart and mind, and that led to healing I couldn't have achieved otherwise. Clinical data from Johns Hopkins suggests that supervised psilocybin use can be among the most spiritually significant experiences of a person's life. In this episode, Cameron shares his "Bird of a Million Feathers" vision to illustrate Emotional Granularity—the ability to move beyond a "primary color" emotional palette to see and feel the full prism of human experience. This helps him show up for himself and others. For more deep dives into the mind, subscribe to the 3-Minute Reframe newsletter.

    Why So Much Hate?

    What is the shape of your hate? We often wonder "why" there is so much hate in the world, yet the world's challenges are largely a reflection of the human mind. Most global problems are manifestations of internal friction we neglect to heal. This week, we explore Hate-Mapping: a non-judgmental investigation into the origins, sensations, and tribal systems that feed our internal shadows.

    Intent, Impact, Accountability

    Impact is the emergency; intent is the debrief. Lead with the bandage, not the shield. When we cause harm, we often retreat into a defensive crouch: "That wasn't my intent." But leading with intent when someone is in pain is like explaining your driving record while someone’s foot is still under your tire. This week, we reframe repair through Impact-First Accountability: witnessing and attending to the experience of the hurt party before attempting to justify your own. Impact-First Accountability is a cornerstone of effective feedback and healthy workplace culture.

    Face the Wall: Zen Lessons

    The goal of Zen isn’t to feel good—it’s to see clearly. Mainstream culture often brands "Zen" as an escape into synthetic tranquility, but traditional practice—sitting in silence, facing a blank wall—is about getting into life exactly as it is. By observing the "mental weather" without distraction, we build the internal muscles required to stay present in our lives off the cushion. Deepen your clarity with the 3-Minute Reframe newsletter.
