650: The Power of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Daniel Fryer
If you break your arm, your next steps are clear. The doctor will put it in a cast for a couple months, and then afterwards, you’ll nurse it back to strength and all will be fine. If your brain is broken - perhaps from a sudden loss, job change, or financial challenge - the path forward is often opaque. You’re clearly in pain and struggling, but what do you do? On this week’s podcast you’ll learn about hypnotherapy not as a cure, but as part of the path toward healing. Listen and learn: What hypnotherapy is and how it differs from other forms of treatment Why the stigma around mental health might have ended but the stigma around “you’re broken” lingers How to use hypnotherapy to help you manage life’s stresses Why stress is used as an umbrella term for everything we’re struggling with Links DanielFryer.com ABOUT OUR GUEST Daniel Fryer is a UK-based cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT), coach, and author of The Four Thoughts That F*ck You Up… and How to Fix Them.

648: The Power of Hypnosis with Dr. David Spiegel
If you're going through a mental health crisis—whether it's depression, anxiety, stress, or overwhelm—the default advice you’ll likely hear is to see a therapist. That’s great advice, but in reality, even for those fortunate enough to have access to therapy, it usually means two to four sessions before you’re left to manage on your own. The demand for mental health practitioners far outweighs the supply, which means most of us need to find ways to cope at home. While there are plenty of excellent self-care and therapeutic tools, one often overlooked option is hypnosis. In this week's podcast, you'll hear from a psychiatrist who has dedicated his career to this powerful healing modality. Listen and learn: The difference between stage vs clinical hypnosis Why “it’s all in your head” is both accurate and useful to leverage How to get help or practice self-help at home The power of the mind Links Reveri David Spiegel's Stanford Profile ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. David Spiegel is a psychiatrist specializing in clinical hypnosis. He is the Associate Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, with hundreds of research papers and multiple books, including Trance and Treatment: Clinical Uses of Hypnosis. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of stress, pain management, and psychoneuroimmunology. Like the Show? Leave us a review Check out our YouTube channel

647: Rethinking Retirement with Campbell Gerrish and Caroline Brecker
Imagine having a meaningful, rewarding career that spanned 20 or 30 years, or perhaps several different careers over 30 or 40 years, each contributing to a wealth of diverse experiences and hard-earned wisdom. Now, you're retired, so what do you do with all those experiences? How do you answer the question, 'What do you do now?' Do you focus on the past, or is there something new on the horizon? For many, retirement sounds amazing—until they get there and find themselves unsure of what comes next. My guests on this week's podcast have some ideas. Listen and learn: The importance of generative aging Why social connections might matter even more than money and health How to creatively plan for a retirement that could easily be 20+ years long About finding place, people, and purpose Site: thirdhalfadvisors.com ABOUT OUR GUESTS Campbell Gerrish and Caroline Brecker co-founded Third Half Advisors because they believe that today's professionals don't want to "retire" in the traditional sense, instead, they seek a "third half" full of engagement, purpose, and connections.

646: Hypopressive Training - Deep Core Strength with Trista Zinn
When most people think about a strong core, we usually picture six-pack muscles. While that's part of the story, there's much more to it. The deeper core muscles, like the transverse abdominis, multifidus, and the muscles of the pelvic floor—also known as the pelvic diaphragm—play a crucial role. In yoga, the pelvic floor is often an overlooked but essential part of the practice, referred to as 'mula bandha.' Other traditions call it pelvic floor training or pelvic diaphragm work. Today, we'll be exploring hypopressive training, a very accessible and effective methodology that trains the entire group of core muscles. Listen and learn: What the pelvic floor is and how to train it A realistic outlook for correcting incontinence and prolapse The time and training required to see results The difference between isolation and full body core work ABOUT OUR GUEST Trista’s website Trista Zinn is the founder of Coreset Fitness and a specialist in pelvic floor health, focusing on core and postural alignment through her innovative hypopressive training method. She is a personal trainer with over a decade of experience in fitness and wellness, aiming to bring awareness to the importance of core and pelvic floor function for overall health. Trista is known for her work with postpartum recovery and helping individuals address issues like incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Like the Show?
