Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well

We will learn: The truth behind depression as an identity crisis. How your brain constantly judges your self-worth based on one-size-fits-all virtues that may not be right for you. How to tap into the 3rd dimension of lasting happiness that goes far beyond temporary pleasure and material gains. Have you ever had one of those moments where you're like, 'I thought this is what I wanted, but now that I have it, it's not making me as happy as I imagined'?And then you have to go readjust your ideas about what actually makes you feel good versus what you assumed would bring you joy.A lot of this tension between expectations and reality could be avoided altogether if we took the time upfront to deeply know ourselves.Self-knowledge lights the path we want to walk. It steadies us when the mind starts making excuses or trying to justify choices that merely feel familiar but don't exactly nurture our spirit.Because guess what? Most frustration and feelings of being stuck come from not knowing ourselves deeply enough in the first place.So the question is, how do we get this kind of clarity? That's what we're talking about today.Our guest is Ryan Bush. He is a designer and thinker focused on building better systems, better people, and a better future. He is a practical philosopher, founder of Designing the Mind, and author of the forthcoming book, “Become Who You Are: A New Theory of Self-Esteem, Human Greatness, and the Opposite of Depression.”Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/330 Become a Mind Love Member for high-value Masterclasses, Growth Workbooks, Monthly Meditations, and Uninterrupted Listening FREE 5-Days to Purpose Email Course Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspired Support Mind Love Sponsors Learn more about your ad choices.

We will learn: The connection between emotions, self-worth, and the stories we tell ourselves What happens when you prioritize psychological safety but neglect the danger you may be causing yourself The surprising link between your dream goals and your deepest emotions... and how harnessing this connection can unlock your true potential Do you ever catch yourself in a cycle of overthinking and over-analyzing your every move, every word, and every decision until it exhausts you? For some people, it’s the regret or second-guessing themselves. For others, it’s everything, which can lead to a very anxious life.Whatever your version of this, it’s like an invisible burden that we carry, and it affects more than just that one situation.

It’s for anyone who’s ever been caught in the cycle of approval-seeking, the comparison trap, or the unconscious belief that someone else’s validation will fill their insecurities. Today, we’re going to learn how to release the burden of overthinking and honor our feelings to rewire our energy patterns.Our guest is Julia DiGangli.

We will learn: Why our disconnection with nature is more dangerous than you think, and who may be manipulating our beliefs. The mysteries of empty space and the hidden dimensions that may exist right where we stand. How to break the chains of insignificance and discover the untapped power within.  Have you ever questioned the true impact of your actions, or even your thoughts, on the world around you?I think we’re seeing one side of this. I don’t think any of us will deny that, as a whole, humans have lost their connection with nature.This disconnect didn't just begin with industrialization; its roots stretch far back in history, intertwined with the evolution of scientific thought. It's important to remember that much of what we accept as settled science is still evolving. We're continually discovering new, profound insights that border on the magical.And isn't it ironic? We've been conditioned to see our reality as kind of mundane, not realizing that life is really magical. We are not isolated beings fighting against the world; we are vital parts of a vibrant, interconnected web of existence.So, how do we reclaim this magical, empowering perspective? How do we start seeing nature not as something separate but as an extension of ourselves and a reflection of the divine?That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Marcel Gleiser. He is the Appleton Professor of Natural Philosophy and professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College, a world-renowned theoretical physicist and public intellectual.

It’s somewhat smoother when you’re the one choosing the change, but even then, there are those little details that catch you off guard.Because here’s the thing. The only constant is change. Let that sink in. The only constant is change. Everything is always changing all the time. So why wouldn’t we try to get better at dealing with change?Our situations change, the world changes, our bodies change, people change, we change. In fact, everything is always cycling through states of order, disorder, and reorder.And that sounds a little overwhelming, but guess what? If this cycle wasn’t always occurring, nothing could get better either.So today we’re going to learn to navigate this cycle with a little more grace. Our guest is Brad Stuhlberg.

Have you ever taken a moment to ask yourself what truly matters to you?I'm talking about a deep dive into the core of your being to unearth your values and not just a fleeting thought that skims the surface. Sure, family, kindness, and respect matter to me, but what about a profound understanding of your values that acts as your inner compass?Imagine knowing your values so intimately that they become the filter for every decision you make, ensuring that every choice is a step towards a life that's not just fulfilling but actually resonant with the essence of who you are.I recently took some time to reconnect with my values.

We will learn: Why your therapist's coping skills might not be working for you, and the game-changing advice that could change your progress How self-blame holds you back and the surprising reason behind your need for control The secret coping skill for anxiety and panic attacks Have you ever experienced something that you just never quite got over? A loss, a betrayal, a violation of some sort? Or maybe a memory resurfaced years later, followed by a whole lot of emotions that you never really saw coming.What I've come to understand is that time does not heal all. Time allows some space to do something with the pain. But that something isn't always productive, especially if we try to let it process itself.So, how do we unpack our emotional suitcases to move through life a little lighter or, even better... fully engaged with the here and now?That's what we're talking about today. Our guest is Madeline Popelka. She grew up in a household where mental health was never discussed, which was extra hard given she experienced multiple traumatic events.

As Madeline began her healing journey, she felt the urge to create space for other trauma survivors on Instagram @healingfromptsd, which is now one of the largest trauma healing communities on Instagram. There, she shares her hard-earned lessons on healing, inspiring hundreds of thousands of survivors along their healing journeys.
