39. Are You Taking Too Much Responsibility?

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/04/14

Many of my clients like to be in control and take on a lot of responsibility, and when I tell them that they are responsible for their thoughts, they tend to take on even more responsibility. That’s why I want to take this episode to discuss responsibility - what you are responsible for and what you’re not. There are three common examples of too much responsibility being taken on, including but not limited to taking on other people’s feelings and problems and believing that you don’t have a good

38. For the Teenagers: Six Ideas to Empower You

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/04/07

Here in Nashville, there have been peaceful protests lately trying to push legislators to place a ban on assault rifles, and most of the people protesting were teenagers. This really got me thinking about positive things that I would like to share with today’s youth, and I narrowed that down to six things, hence today’s episode. Included in the six ideas I have to offer youth to help empower them are (1) what creates abundance and how abundance is a feeling, (2) how and why negative emotions are

Dr. Jay Wellons is the author of the beautiful memoir All That Moves Us: A Pediatric Neurosurgeon, His Young Patients, and Their Stories of Grace and Resilience. He is the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. This episode was recorded just days before the tragic shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville. Dr. Wellons’ voice is relied upon by many in the medical community here in Nashville for so many issues that affect the health of our children. Guns have become

36. My Thoughts on This Work I Love

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/03/24

I did my first webinar three years ago, so I went back and revisited that webinar only to realize that it was much better than I feared. I was undoubtedly nervous and am much more confident now, but I was much better prepared for it than I had realized. That also got me reflecting back on my work over the last three years and my belief in the importance of what I teach. Learning about how your brain works is so important to understanding ourselves and how we can grow and develop. I have spoken

35. Aging Well

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/03/17

Many of my clients are women in midlife, and most of them are working and/or taking care of children. Many of them are also dealing with issues involving aging parents, and that often leads to them worrying about their own aging. Aging has three dimensions to it: physical, cognitive, and emotional. Listen in as I discuss how that last one, emotional, is the only one that doesn’t actually have a direct link to aging. We can’t control physical and cognitive aging, but your emotional health is

34. Self-Sabotage

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/03/10

What is self-sabotage, and why does it feel so terrible? Self-sabotaging is when we create unnecessary problems for ourselves that get in the way of our goals, and part of the reason that it feels awful is that we blame ourselves for it; we think that we are the problem. Remember that our primitive brain loves familiarity and repetition. It serves up familiar thought patterns in an effort to keep you the same, and that sometimes makes it feel like we are sabotaging our own interests when in

33. Clean Pain

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/03/03

I have talked a lot on the podcast about how to reduce unnecessary suffering, but if there is unnecessary suffering, then that begs the question of whether or not there is necessary suffering. The short answer is yes, and it’s something that some people call clean pain. Think of the loved ones you’ve lost, the homes that you loved that you had to leave behind, or the beloved jobs that you had to leave. These types of losses are a part of life, and they can be beautiful because they’re reflective of

32. What Do Love and Compassion Have to Do with Focus?

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/02/24

Listen in today as I share a story about a client who felt conflicted between her compassion for her mother who was going through a tough time and her responsibilities toward her job, a story that serves as a perfect example of the Thought Work that I teach and talk about on this podcast. We often create a lot of unnecessary suffering for ourselves when we don’t bring the Thought Work back to ourselves and are not giving ourselves enough compassion. Your primary responsibility in life is to

31. How Are You Using Your Personal Power?

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/02/17

If I were to ask you how you use your personal power, what would you say? Do you know what your personal power is? Your thoughts are energy, and energy animates your body. What you choose to think and believe acts as your own personal steering wheel, and every single one of us underutilizes this power. On this episode, I share three main ways that we tend to misuse our personal power, including (1) not taking the time to stop and think about what we are thinking, (2) trying to be positive all the

30. Are You Doing Enough for Your Kids?

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/02/10

I have a client who recently expressed worry that she isn’t doing enough for her kids, an example of how we set ourselves up to be spinning and anxious. How do you know when you have or haven’t done enough? The real fear around whether or not you’re doing enough for kids is the fear that if something goes wrong in the future, you will hold yourself accountable for it. However, it’s important to remember that kids are humans and are going to live human lives that we can’t control. At the end of the

29. What I Learned About Anxiety on my Spa Trip

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/02/03

I recently took a trip to Canyon Ranch in The Berkshires, the ever glorious destination health spa. I went by myself for my birthday, and listen in today as I talk about how that went for me and how I have changed so much since the last time that I went. It was such a great experience, but I do want to talk about what I believe to be a missing component from what was offered. We need to learn not just how to reduce stress and resist it but also how to accept it as part of being human. Remember that

27. Common Misconceptions About Change

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/01/20

We all have similar blindspots when it comes to our belief in our ability to change. In this episode I share common misconceptions about what it is really like to change. Remember that change doesn’t mean that we will never feel negative emotions again, nor should it. Negative emotions are part of our design, and they are necessary and helpful. Show Highlights what makes not knowing so powerful how doubt does not necessarily mean that it’s the wrong decision why “doing it right” doesn’t mean that

26. Make Space for What You Really Want

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2023/01/13

We don’t always realize it, but we hold onto things - both material and immaterial - mostly out of fear that there won’t be something to replace them. However, not all of those things serve us, and we can’t allow new things to enter our lives without making space for them. Clearing space physically can help clear space mentally, so I am giving you a few resources on how to organize your home and how to get started, encouraging you to ask yourself what you want. Everything having a place also helps

I want to spend the first episode of 2023 sharing an individual story from over the holiday. Sharing such stories can help people see elements of themselves in them and give people hope which is what I am hoping will happen for those of you who need it. So many people get caught up in the feeling of being trapped in a situation and not knowing how to cope with a challenging emotion. They feel helpless and powerless, feeling like there is no choice, but I want to remind you that there is a choice and

What does it look like to be more peaceful? How do we actually go about achieving that? Listen as I guide you through a mini-meditation that will help you achieve it.

Our thoughts about the facts of our lives lead to feelings, but those thoughts are not facts. Learning the information that I have been sharing on this podcast can be helpful, but the real magic

Do you know much about the primitive brain (also known as the lizard brain)? I have found that many of my clients don’t fully understand how the primitive brain not only serves them in many ways but also holds them back. It can be so helpful to understand this. One of the many ways that the primitive brain does its job is by keeping you confused via generating the thought I don’t know, but this thought is an optional thought. Listen in as I talk you through what happens if you let the primitive

20. Learn This Modern Emotional Super Power

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2022/12/02

We have pain, physical or emotional, and then we have thoughts about our pain. Our thoughts are like volume knobs that allow us to turn up the volume on our pain or turn down the volume. When we feel the pain of a negative emotion, we can respond in three different ways: (1) avoid it, (2) resist it, or (3) allow it. Our instinct is often to either avoid it or resist it, but so much unnecessary suffering can be avoided if we actually allow it. I refer to this skill as a modern super power, and it’s
