In this interview we discuss what it actually takes to maintain intimacy over time.When we begin a relationship, it’s pretty darn wonderful,.. but as many of us know AS the years go by, the rough patches begin to crop up. We become vulnerable. More real. The prickly porcupine stages come. THIS is when it becomes really important to learn how to be emotionally skillful. How to navigate emotional triggers with self-awareness, wisdom and compassion. How to be truly present with one another. To listen deeply. to understand the impact we’re having on our partner even if it’s not our intention. And to practice repair after conflicts. We often forget to do much of this…or it can easily take a back seat to busy schedules. He emphasizes the importance of regular relationship check ups…just like our annual healthcare physicals.Cordova provides insights into navigating the complexities of intimacy with lots of practical tools to help us connect with ourselves and our partners on a deeper level. As always, we’re Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband dedicated to unlocking your brains potential. Use code Untangle15 to try Muse at choosemuse.com/untangle.We’re here, just like you…to learn, grow, share and connect.

In this episode, we sit down with young author and entrepreneur, Giovanna Silvestre, to discuss her life and her book, "Confused Girl, Find Your Peace In The Chaos.” I loved her energy and courage, and her passion for the work she’s doing with inspirational active wear. She shares how most intensely sad moments led her on this transformative journey from depression to self-discovery, and to doing work that she now loves and that continues inspires her everyday. Her initial confusion - hence the name of her book Confused Girl —stemmed from feeling stuck, unworthy, and lost in the turbulence of what she describes as the societal expectations of this modern world. Giovanna opens up about the pivotal moments that led her to embrace confusion as a virtue, the power of vulnerability, and the importance of staying curious about life and oneself. Join us as we delve into her inspiring story of resilience, creativity, and the pursuit of authenticity.Resource: Instagram @confusedgirllaWebsire: confusedgirlinthecity.com As always, we’re untangle, the podcast from Muse the brain sensing headband that helps to transform your brain.

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.
