February 07, 2024 Jay Fields: Emotional Stability for Men Who Overthink (Somatic Tools That Work)
In this episode, we discuss the challenge many smart, sensitive individuals face: overthinking and maladaptive patterns due to deeply ingrained relational conditioning and unconscious stress responses. Joining us is Jay Moon Fields, a renowned educator, coach, and author, who introduces her innovative Yours Truly™ program. It combines embodiment, neuroscience, and psychoeducation to help people not just know better but actually do better, improving self-relation and interpersonal connections. Discover a transformative approach to overcoming these common yet complex issues, fostering healthier relationships with both oneself and others. UPDATED LINK: https://jaymoonfields.com/

UPDATED BIO: Jay Moon Fields, M.A. is a leading educator, coach and author. Over a half million people have taken her courses featured on Linkedin Learning, and her book Teaching People Not Poses has sold over ten thousand copies and is used by yoga teacher training programs globally. For over twenty years, she has taught the principles of embodied social and emotional intelligence to individuals and groups from Patagonia, Weiden + Kennedy, Apple, the UN, UC Santa Barbara, and Cottage Hospital. Jay has been a guest on over 30 podcasts and was named one of the top 50 health and wellness bloggers making a difference in the world by Greatist.com. Jay has been a featured speaker at GoPro, Baker Tilly, The Fifteen Seconds Festival and the Omega Institute. She received her BA in Psychosocial Health and Human Movement from the College of William and Mary and her masters in Integral Transformative Education from Prescott College.

WHAT IS YOURS TRULY?

Yours Truly™ is a comprehensive online program that blends the principles and evidence-based practices of nervous system regulation, embodiment and psychoeducation to help you learn how to not just know better, but actually do better when it comes to relating to yourself and others in a healthy way.

It consists of 50 short videos and a 45-page workbook that anyone can do from anywhere at their own pace.

WHAT PROBLEMS DOES YOURS TRULY FIX?

Smart, sensitive people almost always try to fix the stuff that feels crappy in their life by thinking (usually overthinking) about it, even though it doesn’t work.

That’s because, despite intellectually knowing better, they’re being run by the unconscious stress responses of their nervous system and by deeply embodied but fatally flawed relational conditioning. This conditioning leads them to do things like take care of others at their own expense, or push people away when what they really want is closeness, or to never really feel at home in their own skin.

Yours Truly is embodiment meets neuroscience meets an empathetic guide who’s been there and come through the other side—so that smart, sensitive people can finally get the training they need to have more control over how they show up and more closeness in the relationships that matter most to them.

January 25, 2024 Remi Adele: Never Giving Up w/ former Nigerian Royal turned US Navy SEAL and Filmmaker
We are excited to speak with our guest today - Remi Adeleke - US Navy SEAL… He is one of the most inspiring guests we have had on the show to date.

We thought there isn't a better and more enticing way to start the show than to talk about some of the great things Remi has accomplished. Check out this guy's resume and he is still in his 40s .

Remi was born into a wealthy and prominent family in Lagos Nigeria - His father due to the corruption within the Nigerian and Logos government ended up losing all of their wealth and he sadly died when Remi was 5yo. Now penniless, Remi, his mother and brother moved to the United states and settled into the rough side of The Bronx.

Growing up on the streets Remi witnessed a drive-by shooting, was beat up by some local gang bangers, got in trouble with the law on more than one occasion. Ran and profited off a cell phone scam that involved local drug dealers - he lost all that money too.

He heard a calling and joined the US military and became a Navy SEAL - Class 266. Remi endured Hell Week twice due to a medical roll back. As a SEAL he was eventually deployed to Iraq.

Remi found God - learned to meditate - and now works as an actor and filmmaker in Hollywood with Michael Bay.

He is married to a pediatrician and together they have four kids

In 2019 he Published: Transformed: A Navy SEAL’s Unlikely Journey from the Throne of Africa, to the Streets of the Bronx, to Defying All Odds” that has racked up over 1000 reviews on Amazon.

And his latest accomplishment was the Sept 2022 release of this film “The Unexpected” that brings awareness to the growing problem of human trafficking.

WOW!

Check out Remi on Instagram @remiadeleke,

his YouTube channel is https://youtube.com/channel/UCd7m4t3XMEfSn2hgLvxKowQ

His short film The Unexpected is here: https://youtu.be/6xUwS39mFs0

And his book: Transformed: A Navy SEAL’s Unlikely Journey from the Throne of Africa, to the Streets of the Bronx, to Defying All Odds https://www.amazon.com/dp/0785241663/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_RYQ0WPT6KWDW09R1XTKZ_0

January 22, 2024 How to Manage Anger in Our Closest Relationships
In this insightful episode of "Men Talking Mindfulness," hosts Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider delve into the complex and often misunderstood emotion of anger. Our focus is not just on what anger is, but on its profound impact on our physiology, emotions, and behaviors, especially within our most important relationships.
We begin by defining anger and its various expressions, from mild irritation to intense fury, and explore its opposites – pleasure and good humor. As we dissect the physiological responses triggered by anger, including the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and its 'fight or flight' effects, we also examine the emotional and behavioral repercussions that follow.
The discussion then shifts to understanding the triggers of anger, its manifestations in different environments, and the impact of external factors like substances and stress. We explore how anger can damage our relationships at home, work, and in the community, and how it positions the recipient, often leading to defensive or hurt responses.
Crucially, we address what feeds anger – from internal factors like resistance and lack of self-care to external influences like preconceived notions and expectations. We also offer strategies to prevent anger, highlighting the importance of self-awareness, mindfulness, and seeking professional help.
As we navigate through these topics, we reveal how anger can be a thief of opportunity, leading to conflict, selfishness, and regret. However, we also discuss when and how anger can be healthy and constructive.
To wrap up, we provide listeners with practical tools for managing anger, including breathing techniques, mindfulness practices, and tips for starting the journey to better anger management.
Join us for this deep dive into understanding anger, mitigating its negative effects, and harnessing its energy for positive change in our lives and relationships.

Courtney's book is not just a read for women – it's a crucial exploration for men too. We'll discuss the impactful stories shared in her book, reflecting on how they resonate with many women's experiences.
More than just identifying problems, Courtney offers practical solutions and tools. From establishing a pleasure practice to engaging in open conversations about sex and pleasure with partners and even children, her strategies aim to enhance sexual satisfaction and empower individuals in their intimate lives.
This episode is a journey towards empathy, understanding, and positive change. Whether you're looking to improve your relationship, support your partner, or simply broaden your understanding of women's sexuality, this discussion with Courtney Boyer is an essential listen for anyone committed to fostering healthier, more fulfilling sexual relationships.
