More than 80% of people are dissatisfied with their work, and yet work is where we spend the majority of our waking hours. People say things like “Do what you love and the money will follow” and “Follow your passion…” but is it really that simple? Not for most of us. On this week’s show, author, speaker, and entrepreneur, Evan Carmichael, shares his research for finding meaning and purpose at work. 

Listen & Learn: 

• Why most people run away from their life rather than running toward a better one 
• Why most people choose entertainment and distraction over hard work
• How one word, one value, probably drives 80% of your behavior
• The “who”, “why”, and “how” of your life

One in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted in college in America*, so there are literally tens of millions of victims living every day with guilt, shame, pain, trauma, and baggage.

How can we be body-positive and sex-positive in this environment? How do people trust each other or even themselves? The challenges between men and women have existed since the beginning of time, and yet, the rules of engagement are unclear; and mostly, things are left unsaid, trauma is left to fester, and no one is getting any closer to their true, vulnerable selves.

On this week’s podcast, we attempt the impossible task of unraveling this issue. 

Listen & Learn:

• Why the workplace is one of the most poorly defined environments for men and women to interact — and it’s where we spend most of our waking hours
• Why there must be the possibility of reconciliation or we all become monsters and demons 
• How in the 21st century, men and women still have no idea how to work together, give clear consent, and draw boundaries

Just as an infant requires physical touch to ensure healthy development, every adult requires intimacy and connection to be mentally and physically healthy... and yet many of us are left lacking. A lingering hug can increase oxytocin and decrease cortisol, deep conversations can be neuroprotective, and a true friend or lover can alter not just your emotional life but also your biology. On this week’s show, we’ll unpack the role between intimacy and your endocrine system, and the vital importance in finding balance. 

Listen & Learn: 

• How healthy testosterone levels can reduce or even eliminate the risk of Alzheimer's
• Why BPA-lined cans (including sparkling water) can block oxytocin receptors 
• The role of the sex hormones in brain volume and function
• Why the nuclear family is supported by biology 
• Hippocampal shrinkage induced by lack of intimacy

Any relationship crisis is usually coupled with a communication breakdown. Your needs are not being met, so you shut down. You’re upset about something, but instead of voicing it, you bottle it up. Your partner does the same, and over time, you grow distant, bitter, and even resentful. We’ve all experienced this poor communication pattern at some point.

But what does good communication even look like?

Do you take notes and make an outline of your key points? Do you talk, text, or email? There is no right answer to this, but everyone in a relationship needs to figure it out one way or another to survive. On this week’s show, you’ll meet a couple’s counselor who shares her best practices for couples in crisis and those who want to avoid problems in the future. 

Listen & Learn: 

• How to assign one listener and one speaker during conversations
• The “doing” versus “feeling” part of showing love
• How to navigate the complexities of money, sex, and lack of time 
• Emotional versus physical affairs

• How polarity attracts and also creates conflict
