The Kevin Miller Podcast

I wrap up our series on Emotional Power with the Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action, after incredible discussions with Dr Julia Digangi, author of Energy Rising - The Neuroscience of Leading With Emotional Power and Britt Frank, author of The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia To Find Your Path Forward. Here I’m taking the opportunity to pull out some of the primary issues I see us blind to as a culture regarding emotions. For context, I’m now focused on a goal of emotional mastery. Or you could say, spending the rest of my life endeavoring to better master my emotions. I’d ask you to think about it like mastering a team of majestic horses; you do so by gently, yet firmly, joining with them and nurturing them along with yourself to make progress in the desired direction. You don’t let them run loose by venting and emoting, and you also don’t stuff and deny them. And the heart of your emotional mastery is not leading the horses, but first, leading yourself. And again, most all of us hearing this right now are existing on the side of 1) Unfettered emotions: negative feelings running amok and overwhelming you, or 2) Imprisoned emotions: walled off, rejected, and ignored. Both sides are controlling you. Leading you. This is your chance to start understanding, leading, and mastering your emotions, and from that, your life. Here we go with 7 keys for emotional mastery and then the big action.You can watch this full episodes on YouTube - just search for “Self Helpful with Kevin Miller”The Self Helpful podcast is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

We continue our series on Emotional Power. In the last episode my guest expert was Dr. Julia DiGangi, a neuropsychologist who completed her residency at Harvard Medical School. Dr DiGangi is author of the new book, Energy Rising: The Neuroscience of Leading with Emotional Power, and we discussed How To Discover & Correct Your Self-Limiting Patterns. Today I brought Britt Frank back onto the show to go deeper with the discussion. I did a series on anxiety with Britt you can find starting back in episode 1197. Britt is a licensed neuropsychotherapist and trauma expert who is trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and SE (Somatic Experiencing). She is a speaker and an award-winning adjunct instructor at the University of Kansas, where she’s taught classes on ethics, addiction, and clinical social work.

Dr. Julia DiGangi, a neuropsychologist, discusses emotional power and self-limiting patterns. She emphasizes the importance of correcting these patterns for emotional intelligence. The podcast also explores leading with emotional power, managing money, the power of expectations, resilience, finding security in uncertainty, and promotions and ads from Self Helpful with Kevin Miller.

Kara Collier, a wellness expert, discusses the importance of monitoring glucose levels for overall health and wellness. They introduce a new technology called a continual glucose monitor and share personal experiences with using CGMs. They also talk about the correlation between glucose levels and various common conditions, the impact of sleep and stress on glucose levels, and the benefits of choosing whole foods over packaged foods.

I wrap up our series on…men. Manhood. I called it “The Place Of Man” because that seems to be the question these days…what is…the place of men? How should we view ourselves? We grew up with expectations that seem to have changed. Maybe for better. Maybe for worse. I think both. But I find more and more men who feel numb, ashamed, or just dissatisfied. And I could say floundering with who they are, but it may be just as much, who they feel they should be. I talked in depth with Connor Beaton, founder of ManTalks, an international organization focused on men’s wellness, success, and fulfillment, author of Mens Work: A Practical Guide To Face Your Darkness, End Self-Sabotage, And Find Freedom and host of the Man Talks podcast. Then part three was with my great friend Dr Randy James. We got deep on the issues we are experiencing as men, and what we see in the culture. Here then are four main highlights I found from our conversations and my own pondering within them. I’ll also share about an event I just returned from with 39 guys who did 40 miles of the Grand Teton Trail in one day.You can watch this full episodes on YouTube - just search for “Self Helpful with Kevin Miller”The Self Helpful podcast is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

Kevin Miller and Dr. Randy James discuss leaving childhood behind and embracing adulthood, finding joy and purpose in mundane tasks, effective money management, the necessity of recreation for personal growth, finding a trustworthy doctor, the importance of remembering and taking breaks, and exploring the meaning of re and life's rhythms.

I’m back with Connor Beaton. In the previous episode we talked about How To Embrace Manhood & Also Be Human, and in this episode we talk about what drives Connor personally. I start off with something he disclosed in his book, where he shared that an overall driving force for him is the reality that he has been abused, and he has abused. He has been hurt, and he has hurt and from this he discusses dark motivation and light motivation. So we dive deep quickly. Connor is founder of ManTalks, an international organization focused on men’s wellness, success, and fulfillment. He is a coach, facilitator, teacher, podcast host and speaker helping men from all over the world find purpose, a joy-filled life, and a confident self identity, as a man. His new book is called Mens Work: A Practical Guide To Face Your Darkness, End Self-Sabotage, And Find Freedom. His popular podcast, which I was recently a guest on, is called Man Talks.You can watch this full episodes on YouTube - just search for “Self Helpful with Kevin Miller”The Self Helpful podcast is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

We are talking about men. For those who grew up as boys and now live as men, you were raised in a social construct that had certain expectations. Times have changed and evolved, and some of those expectations have changed, but our programming never did. The result is we find ourselves in a culture where men are often confused, frustrated, ashamed, and dissatisfied. And that’s not helping men, or anyone who comes into contact with them. This is not a call to masculinity. This is also not a call to immasculinity. It’s a call to be an authentic and confident human. My expert is Connor Beaton. Connor is the founder of ManTalks, an international organization focused on men’s wellness, success, and fulfillment. He is a coach, facilitator, teacher, podcast host and speaker helping men from all over the world find purpose, a joy-filled life, and a confident self identity, as a man. Connor has a no-BS approach coupled with compassionate understanding of our own human limitations. He has coached thousands of men through private coaching, group work, workshops, retreats and masterminds, and has shared the stage with world class speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Lewis Howes, Danielle LaPorte, and many more. I came to Connor through his wife, Vienna Pharaeon, a renowned therapist and recent guest here on the show as well. My muse for this series is Connor’s new book, Mens Work: A Practical Guide To Face Your Darkness, End Self-Sabotage, And Find Freedom. His popular podcast, which I was recently a guest on, is called Man Talks. I brought Connor on because I am his target audience and I needed his insight and guidance. You can watch this full episodes on YouTube - just search for “Self Helpful with Kevin Miller”The Self Helpful podcast is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

The fight against cancer began around 1970, the year I was born. Culturally we’ve treated cancer like an insidious evil that is hunting us as a predator and we are its prey. It gets you or it doesn’t, you catch it or you don’t. Yet the science does not back this up. Do genetics contribute? 5-10% possibly. The main issue is what we are doing to our cells that is much the causation and reason for the continued growth. Now I realize that even the hint at us having any responsibility regarding cancer is a highly volatile premise. I’ve had family members with cancer. Who died from cancer. And I can’t guarantee I won’t get cancer. Regardless, this is not our opinion. Our very own National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) as a division of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published "Cancer is a Preventable Disease that Requires Major Lifestyle Changes” and cites the highest percentage of causation is diet and specifically, inflammation. We have more and more doctors and experts coming forth with this message. It's not popular to the masses, but for those of us who want and accept control over our health, this...is glorious news.The Self Helpful podcast is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping coaches.

I was offered the opportunity to do a back to school special for Apple Podcasts. I’ve already been asked about creating a version of my book, What Drives You, for a high school and college perspective. Which is fitting, as the impetus to write my book came from my desires for my adult kids. I realized what I most wanted for them was to know…what they want. To understand what they value and why, for themselves. And to commit to it. I want them to spend their days working at something they care about and to understand their core abilities and desires that they can fulfill in many roles. I want them to have joy and fulfillment. So this episode, is dedicated to them. If you’re a parent, share the show, or share the concepts. You can get my book, What Drives You, in any form, on Amazon or wherever you buy books.You can watch this full episodes on YouTube - just search for “Self Helpful with Kevin Miller”The Self Helpful podcast is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.
