Are We in a Crisis of Pessimism? Cynicism? What Does Being Optimistic Mean Anyway? (and here's how to give it a try). With Bill Burke, The Optimism Institute

Our guest is Bill Burke, host of the Blue Sky podcast and founder of the Optimism Institute. Previously, Bill was the CEO of the Weather channel and Founding General Manager of Turner Classic Movies and president of TBS.

Today we chat about his definition of Optimism…the belief that tomorrow will be better than today and that we can play a role in making it so. Our mindset and our actions can, in fact, play an active role in making things better.

He shares that an optimistic outlook inspires us to rebound from life’s inevitable setbacks, helps us not get crushed by them, and invites us to see the small joys that are always in and around us. He discusses the direct connection between gratitude and optimism.

And, he says, that as optimistic as one might be we, of course, must realize that bad things are going to happen. However, it's how we relate to them, learn from them AND, most importantly, how we have more empathy for others who might have dealt with a similar situation.

When I asked him what he thought about the mess we’re in today and how we can be optimistic, he said," if you only read the news, you'll think that things have never been worse. But if you read history, you'll realize that things have never been better." As a historian, he’s got some pretty compelling data points on this. Every generation, he said in a commencement speech he gave recently, leaves a mess for the one that follows. BUT we never count all the good things, all the progress that we’ve made. We tend to take the successes or accomplishments for granted.

He shared a recent Harvard study that found that exposure to just four minutes of good news can make you 32% less anxious and 18% more optimistic.

I think you’ll find some really interesting nuggets here.

Navigating Anxiety: Developing a Flexible Mind in the Face of Difficult Challenges. With Ross White

Navigating Anxiety: Developing a Flexible Mind in the Face of Difficult Challenges. With Ross White

Today’s guest is Clinical Psychologist, Professor and Author Ross White. His insightful book is called “The Tree that Bends: How a Flexible Mind can help you thrive.” The Tree that Bends, a title that comes from a Tanzanian proverb, is a metaphor to illustrate how we can remain anchored, willing and empowered in the face of lifes most difficult challenges. We explore the themes of psychological flexibility including acceptance and commitment therapy, and daily practices that can help manage our emotions when navigating anxiety — many that can be so helpful for our mental health and wellbeing. I love how he talks about embracing emotions as messengers that can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life. P.S. he gives me therapy on my own driving anxiety, post accident!As always, we’re untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband that helps to transform your brain.

Wisdom From the Grandmother of Animal Communication (Fan Favorite!) With Penelope Smith

Wisdom From the Grandmother of Animal Communication (Fan Favorite!) With Penelope Smith

Today’s guest is the amazing Penelope Smith…known joyfully as the grandmother of animal communication. She’s a founder and trailblazer in the field of interspecies telepathic communication and the author of classic books in the field, including Animal Talk, When Animals Speak and Animals in Spirit. She has a vast body of work and educational materials on the topic. In this interview, she shares her own journey to becoming an animal communicator, which actually came quite naturally to her, as well as many personal stories. I know some people will find this topic a bit woo woo, but you’ll be surprised how authentic and natural her philosophy and methods feel. In fact, I started practicing with my dog, Milo, right after this interview. We’re working on it! Penelope believes all of us have the ability to communicate with other species. Her approach emphasizes treating animals as spiritual beings — intelligent, feeling entities with souls. Makes sense! I wondered if all animals are even interested in telepathically communicating with humans ;-) We may be the kooky ones. Anyway…It’s a fun, fascinating conversation. I hope you enjoy it.

Heart Health! Almost Everything You Ever Wanted To Know. With Dr. Joel Kahn, America's Healthy Heart Doctor.

Heart Health! Almost Everything You Ever Wanted To Know. With Dr. Joel Kahn, America's Healthy Heart Doctor.

Encore Episode. Today’s guest is Dr. Joel Kahn. He’s a world renowned Cardiologist, Author and Host of the podcast Heart Doc VIP. He’s also referred to as America's Healthy Heart Doctor. He gives us confidence that, yes, we can take charge of our health. In this interview, he shares practical advice and tools to help us crack the code on heart disease which still, hard to believe, is the leading cause of death. He believes that we can do much better…with a mix of testing (he says test don’t guess), a calcium heart scan, advanced labs if needed, a plant based diet, exercise, sleep, hormones, supplements and, if needed, medicine. He shares some of the research on a plant based diet and heart health, as well as its potential to reduce dementia risk. He’s very bullish on a plant based diet and you’ll understand why after listening to him. He’s passionate about making sure that we’re all as informed as possible. His extensive knowledge, experience and access to the latest research is truly empowering. And it’s nice that he’s a fun guy too. I’ve been on the track to learn more about heart disease personally — so was thrilled to have Joel on our show. I learned so much from him.
