Today’s encore episode was from the 2020 election SOS Series, and is titled How to have a difficult conversation. Perhaps relevant now! Our guest, Kern Beare, is the author of the book, Difficult Conversations, the Art and Science of Working Together. He shares strategies to help us have more productive dialogues and to resolve differences when it matters most. Whether in relationship, work, or political conversations, he discusses the importance of dropping our egos, letting go of feeling like we need to be right all the time, deep listening to truly understand the other, and seeing beyond our own stories. Understanding our implicit triggers and underlying ’stories’ can help us to be more self-aware when we’re in the heat of a difficult discussion or, as he says, about to ‘flip our lid.'Important stuff.As always, we’re Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband dedicated to unlocking your brains potential AND Meditation Studio the five star app.Unlock 30 days of Meditation Studio for free at choosemuse.com/meditationstudio.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Todays guest is Amber Romaniuk, an expert in emotional and binge eating, digestive issues and hormones. Over the last several years, she’s helped thousands of women overcome their own eating challenges, calm digestion, lose weight and balance their hormones so they are happier, healthier and can lead more productive lives. In this interview she says — many of us have a story about our relationship with food. And She shares how she used food as a coping mechanism herself in her 20’s and how she had to hit rock bottom before recovering from her own binge eating behaviors. Often we’re not even aware that we have a problem — or what it is that is triggering us — until it becomes serious. She discusses how we can become more aware of our triggers, change how we perceive our own bodies, notice the negative self talk that can become our background chatter… and how all of this impacts our relationship with food. Resources: Amberapproved.caAs always, we’re Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband dedicated to unlocking your brains potential AND Meditation Studio the five star app. Unlock 30 days of Meditation Studio for free at choosemuse.com/meditationstudio.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Todays guest is Author, Coach, Podcaster and Influencer — Cory Allen. We Discussed his new book, Brave New You, where he presents actionable steps to help us continue to grow and flourish over time. He has so many tidbits of wisdom…some new, some we hear often. Some of the favorites: Taking care of yourself is one of the most important things you can do. Learn to accept your own love, care and admiration. Give yourself what you need so you can show up as your best self. Release resentments or judgements that hold you down. You get it. Great advice on being the very best versions of ourselves. Cory has been a mediator for over 25. His thoughts about mindfulness and meditation are on instagram where he reaches over a million people a week. One of my favorite lines: Reframing your perspective is a powerful move. When you feel stuck or resistant, pause and look for the upside. Shifting your thinking from “I have to do this” to “I get to do this” engages curiosity. This turns every experience into a chance for growth, wisdom, and understanding. As always, we’re Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband dedicated to unlocking your brains potential AND Meditation Studio the five star app.Unlock 30 days of Meditation Studio for free at choosemuse.com/meditationstudio.  Learn more about your ad choices.
