Today we talk with Dr. Art Markman about why we tend to worry more about others than ourselves. Then, we talk with Von Eaglin about how to know when you should bail out of a relationship.

Why We Worry About Others More Than Ourselves

Dr. Art Markman is the guy to go to when you want to know what is going on in your head. Today he talks with us about why we tend to worry more about others than ourselves. When it comes to our own safety and well-being, we sometimes put it on the back burner. However, our family members, significant others, and people we love dearly, we can put more worry and fear into their safety and well-being. Why is this?

Dr. Markman talks about the psychology that goes on in our brains when we feel that worry toward our loved ones. The anxiety and worry we feel for others is far greater than for ourselves, and you can read all about the science in his article here.

* Art Markman, Ph.D., is Annabel Irion Worsham Centennial Professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas at Austin.

When Is It Time to Bail Out of a Relationship?

Von Eaglin is a licensed professional counselor and a certified couple relationships trainer. He joins us today to talk about how to know when it is time to get out of a relationship. This is a relatable subject for most couples, because life is full of its ups and downs. Including our relationships. There will be extremely great times, along with huge pitfalls. But, knowing when your relationship is not working anymore can be difficult.

Von talks with us about some of the absolute signs to knowing your relationship might not be savable. He also tells us what the signs are that your relationship has promise and passion. Both parties in the relationship are responsible for the happiness and success of that relationship. So without playing the blame-game, and owning your faults can be helpful. But getting out of a toxic and unhealthy relationship might be the answer at the end of the day.

Today we talk with Tina Bernet Allen about the science of the workout after burn. Then we talk with Wanda Means about the imprint of trauma.

The Workout After Burn: Explained

Tina Bernet Allen is a top female personal trainer, with over 30 years of experience. Today she breaks down the science of what we call, the workout after burn. This physiological effect is called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, or EPOC. EPOC is the amount of oxygen required to restore your body to its normal, resting level of metabolic function (called homeostasis). This is actually really cool, right? Our bodies can continue to burn calories even after the workout, sometimes even for the next 24 hours.

This all depends on a few things of course. To some surprise, the intensity of the workout is a factor and not the duration. So, Tina tells us in order to really enhance our workout after burn, high intensity workouts are the best way to do that. Also, the amount of lean muscle mass you already have can impact the length of time you can benefit from that after burn. Listen in to hear all of Tina's tips to get the best after burn from your workout.

The Imprint of Trauma

Wanda Means joins us again to talk about how trauma imprints our brains, especially childhood trauma. Wanda is a survivor of childhood sexual molestation, the betrayal of her mother, and the rejection of her father. She is using her life story and her voice to open the conversation about sexual abuse. Today we talk with Wanda about how trauma physiologically imprints the brain. Trauma can be from a range of experiences in life, but childhood trauma usually sticks a little bit deeper.

Wanda talks with us about the percentage of people who are on anti-depressants after experiencing childhood trauma. This can dull the pain, but also dull the pleasures in life. We talk about how to effectively find healing and gain freedom from trauma.

In today's episode we talk with a legend, Dr. Jonny Bowden, about his book, Living Low Carb. Then we finish the show talking with DeWone Bennett about coping skills.

Today we talk about the recently revised version of his book, Living Low Carb: Controlled-Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss. This updated edition of Living Low Carb explores the many scientific discoveries made in the last five years about brain chemistry, appetite, cravings, carbs, and sugar addiction. We also talk about popular diets right now including: Vegan, Carnivore, Ketogenic, Mediterranean, and Paleo.

DeWone Bennett: Coping Skills

Today we talk with DeWone Bennett about coping skills. These skills are so important for us to gain because without them, the world would feel pretty dark. In life we are faced with things like: rejection, loss, death, etc., which we have to learn to cope from. Learning to deal with negative emotions from difficult situations or experiences will help you move forward and away from those negative emotions. If you cannot cope, it can feel impossible to get out of those negative emotions.

We are so excited to speak with International Best-Selling author, Suzanne Ryan, today about her newest book, Beyond Simply Keto. We also talk with Mo Brossette about setting micro-goals in the new year.

Suzanne Ryan: Beyond Simply Keto

If you are in with the Keto movement, then you've probably heard of Suzanne Ryan. She began her journey on the Ketogenic diet in 2015, and has lost over 100 pounds. Now, she is an international best-selling author of the book, Simply Keto, and her new book Beyond Simply Keto. They are both packed with recipes and advice to help you live the healthiest life you can.

So many aspects of our lives contribute to our inward and outward health. Things like stress, lack of sleep, toxic people, unfulfilling work environments, etc., can prevent your diet from playing the role it needs to play. Beyond Simply Keto includes:

* An easy beginner’s guide to the ketogenic diet

* Three important steps that can change your life

* Helpful tips and advice for living a ketogenic lifestyle

* Over 100 simple and delicious new recipes

Setting Micro-Goals in the New Year with Mo

Mo Brossette is an expert on human behavior, mindset, movement, and nutrition. He is a Keynote Speaker on Fear and Human Potential, where he teaches companies and individuals how to achieve professional and personal goals, overcome limiting beliefs, and use fear as your greatest tool for success. Today he joins us to continue our conversation on setting micro-goals, but specifically in the new year.

Micro-goals are essentially the small steps that you take daily to reach your bigger goals. This could be something like, setting an alarm to meditate, going to bed earlier, working out for 15 minutes a day, and so on. These are powerful for your mental and emotional health and can ultimately create a better outcome for your bigger goals. Then we talk about opening space in the subconscious for creation. A huge percentage of our thoughts are controlled by our subconscious....which is kind of scary. Self-talk can be huge for self-empowerment, and creation.

Listen in to hear about this, and we will continue next week.

We talk with her today not about New Year's resolutions, but about intentions for the New Year. V tells us why resolutions can sometimes be a negative term for people, and even intimidating and stress provoking. Instead of setting unrealistic, far-reaching goals for the New Year, we should be setting intention that will re-frame our mindset to be our best selves.

Instead of thinking about all the things we want to fix about ourselves or our lives in the New Year, we must practice gratitude toward the things we already have. This can help you to generate positivity all around you. The New Year is just another day, and everyday is an opportunity for growth. So, you can start by setting some good intention.

DeWone Bennett is a National Certified Counselor and Counseling Supervisor. Today he joins us to talk about how to prepare to be the best you in the New Year.

How to be the Best Me in the New Year

The New Year creeps up on all of us and New Years resolutions can be made without much thought into them. We decide to do things like: Lose 25 pounds by summer, stop drinking, stop cursing, spend more time with family, etc. We have the resolution, but we forget one huge aspect into how to follow through. Which are, the baby steps and the day-to-day on how to reach those big goals.

DeWone talks with us about how to create the small, daily goals to reach our bigger, long-term goals. We must break down our resolutions and create step-by-step plans on how we are going to achieve them. This will make for a much better success rate. DeWone says we also need to plan for the days that we fall short, because that will happen. Planning how to get back on the horse after falling off is a major tool in continuing onto achieving your goals.

Listen in to get all the tips on New Years resolutions.

Today we talk with Maura Davies about which emotions dogs actually feel. Then we talk with Zen Honeycutt about her non-profit group, Moms Across America. Lastly, we talk with Mo Brossette about setting daily micro-goals.

Which Emotions do Dogs Actually Feel?

When it comes to the emotions of a human compared to that of a dog, there are some major differences. Maura Davies is the VP of Communications for the SPCA of Texas. Today we talk about which emotions dogs can actually feel. Here is a list:

* Joy

* Fear

* Anger

* Disgust

* Love

But, a dog does not experience the more complex emotions like guilt, pride, and shame. Some of those emotions are what brings out a lot of ugly in us humans. Dogs are so amazing and provide an unconditional love like no human truly can. We must treat them with love and respect in return.

Today we talk with Von Eaglin about how to know if you are raising a narcissist, and then we talk with Kip Watson about the power of an apology.

Are You Raising a Narcissist?

Von Eaglin is a licensed professional counselor and a certified couple relationships trainer. Today we talk with him about narcissism, and specifically what goes into raising a narcissist. Von tells us today, there is no special formula to "good" parenting, or raising the perfect child. But, there are things that can lead to a child developing into a narcissist. Being a parent and being a friend are two different jobs, and should be treated as such. Because, when we decide to befriend our children, we tend t0 forget to hold them accountable.

Von tells us how important it is to instill responsibility in our children so that they do not become selfish and privileged adults. When parents take care of everything for their kids, their kids can become entitled. Parents have to create a routine for their kids so that they understand they can't do whatever they want, when they want, and how they want. There has to be guidelines and rules, this creates for a more responsible and self-motivated adult.

The Power of an Apology

Kip Watson is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. She is a certified trainer for the Positive Coaching Alliance, a certified life coach, and one of the few Certified High Performance Coaches (CHPC) in the world. Today we talk with her about apologies. When it comes to giving an apology, there is a lot that goes into it. Kip talks with us about the criteria that must be met for an apology to be considered a real apology.

We talk about the different versions of apologies, because they all can mean different things. Also, we talk with Kip about how time varies on a person's healing after an apology. If you are the one who is doing the apologizing, you have to be patient for that person to come back around. But at the end of the day, an apology could be the answer that can provide healing and reconciliation in so many circumstances.

So get out there today, and apologize!
