Rethinking Aging: How to Thrive in Midlife and Beyond. With Barbara Waxman
28 april 2026 · 53 min
What if everything you’ve been told about aging is wrong? What if you could reinvent midlife …and turn the idea of a midlife crisis into midlife growth? Lees meer
In today’s episode, I sit down with Gerontologist and Coach Barbara Waxman, highly sought-after longevity and leadership advocate, advisor, master coach, keynote speaker, and author of the book The Middlescence Manifesto: Igniting the Passion of Midlfe. She delightfully challenges our outdated ideas about growing older—and shares how we can actually thrive in midlife and beyond.
The conversation ranges From redefining retirement to understanding the science behind happiness, longevity, and purpose, Barbara shares a powerful new framework for middlescence and calls it ”a dynamic life stage filled with opportunity, growth, and reinvention."
She explains the cultural impact of ageism, the importance of mindset, and why your daily habits—not your genetics—play the biggest role in how well you age.
If you’re navigating midlife, planning your next chapter, or simply want to age with more vitality and purpose, this conversation will completely shift your perspective.

Why Forgiveness is an Act of Self Compassion. With Diana Winston
21 april 2026 · 43 min
Today’s encore episode is with Diana Winston, the Director of UCLA Mindful, Keynote Speaker, Consultant and Author of The Little Book of Being: Practices and Guidance for Uncovering your Natural Awareness. In this interview, we talk about the importance of forgiveness in our lives and why carrying our anger or resentment around with us is like carrying hot coal. Dropping the hot coal gives us more freedom, openness, and joy. It doesn’t mean we have to condone or forget, but it is truly an act of self-compassion. Lees meer
The practices she shares are both practical and powerful. The first step, she says, is to have the willingness to even start working on forgiveness — whether it’s forgiving another person, asking another person to forgive you OR forgiving yourself. None of this is easybut it can make a big difference in our own health and ease. Letting go of these difficult feelings is a great way to shift your mindset and build your capacity to focus on the things that really matter.

Living with Less Regret: Tools for Releasing Fear, Finding Courage, Moving Forward. With Margie Warrell
31 maart 2026 · 44 min
What if the thing holding you back isn’t actually your ability at all… but your FEAR. Today’s guest is Margie Warrell, Leaderships Advisor, Keynote Speaker and Author of The Courage Gap, Five Steps to braver Action. So what is the courage gap?? She describes it as that space between who you are and who you want to be AND how fear quietly fills that space with things that hold us back like perfectionism, people pleasing and that critic in your head that says “I’m not ready yet” or I’m not good enough. Margie shares why even brilliant, capable people get stuck, how to tell the difference between courage and recklessness, and why self-compassion can be a conduit to courage. We also dive into her practical tools—like “one brave minute”—to help you take the first imperfect step, regulate your nervous system, and start focusing on what you want more than what you fear. Lees meer
In this episode, we cover:
Why capable, intelligent people still struggle with fear and stuckness
The difference between brave vs. reckless (discernment over bravado)
How fear disguises itself as perfectionism, control, proving, and over-functioning
“Vital lies”: the soothing mistruths that keep you playing too safe
Why many women are socialized to wait until they’re “ready,” and how to break that pattern
A practical way to reframe your inner story using Margie’s “3 P” test (powerful, positive, purposeful)
How to work with fear (not eradicate it) and regulate your nervous system

Burnout Recovery Tools: Reduce Stress and Build More Joy In Your Life. With Amy Leneker.
24 maart 2026 · 40 min
Today's guest is Amy Leneker, Author of Cheers to Monday, The Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead and Live with Less Stress and More Joy. Lees meer
Amy is refreshing, joyful —and deeply practical—in this conversation about stress, burnout, and how to stop living your workweek as a countdown to Friday. My favorite quote? Make more space for joy.
Amy shares the wake-up call that changed everything for her, and became her personal turning point.
She takes us through the heart of her approach, the Unstressing Method—which includes See, Sort, and Solve—a simple framework designed to help people identify what’s driving their stress, categorize it into actionable types, and choose a clear next step instead of spiraling into overthinking. Something we all know very well. The conversation also tackles why common workplace “solutions” can backfire and how leaders can create cultures of well-being where people feel safe, connected, and able to grow. This all applies to families, as well as the workplace.
Most importantly, Amy makes a compelling case for putting joy back on the calendar—not as fluff or denial, but as a real resilience tool. If you’ve ever felt stuck in overwork, people-pleasing, or constant urgency, this episode offers concrete tools to help you reset how you work, lead, and live—starting with Monday.

The Neurobiology (and the U-Curve) of Happiness. You Might be Surprised! With Tobias Esch
20 maart 2026 · 49 min
In Todays throwback Thursday episode, we have encore guest. Dr. Tobias Esch. He is a primary care physician, pioneer in holistic general medicine, and expert in the neurobiology of happiness. He shaped mind-body medicine and integrative health in Germany and as Visiting Professor at Harvard Medical School. He has published more than 300 scientific works. His background is in primary care, neurobiology, and positive psychology and his work focus has been on promoting good health, patient activation and behavior change. In this interview we dive into his Happiness Model, and what he calls the U Curve of happiness which is both surprising and fascinating. The good news is that happiness can be shaped through practice. Life satisfaction and happiness are both deep feeling states, but he defines them differently. His wisdom is cultivated through a rich blend of neuroscience, medicine, positive psychology, mindfulness, gratitude, stillness, and acceptance. He believes in listening deeply and connecting with his patients to uncover what might be beyond the obvious Lees meer

The Science of Revenge: Why Getting Even Feels (so!) Good—and How to Overcome it. With James Kimmel Jr.
17 maart 2026 · 55 min
Today’s guest is James Kimmel Jr., a former litigator of 20 years, currently Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Yale school of Medicine and Author of the book we discuss today called The Science of Revenge: Understanding the World’s Deadliest Addiction—and How to Overcome It (2025). Lees meer
Here’s the question: What if revenge actually works like a drug—lighting up the brain’s reward system and keeping us stuck in cravings for payback? In this episode we talk about the neuroscience of revenge and why it can become compulsive, engaging similar reward pathways to those associated with craving and addiction.
James tells the personal story that launched his life’s work—years of bullying, a devastating loss, and a split-second decision that changed everything. We explore how grievances fuel rumination, how self-control can get hijacked under stress, and what it takes to break the cycle. If you’ve ever replayed an old hurt or struggled to let go, this conversation offers a fresh, brain-based roadmap toward healing—including how forgiveness may just be one of the most underused tools for healing and freedom.

The Hunger Habit: Why We Eat When We're Not Hungry and How to Stop. With Judson Brewer
10 maart 2026 · 47 min
Today’s Encore episode is with Judson Brewer, a Psychiatrist, Neuroscientist and Author who specializes in the field of mindfulness and addiction. He is widely recognized for his work on understanding the mechanisms of craving and developing effective strategies to overcome addictive behaviors. One of his notable contributions is his research on the "Hunger Habit." He discussed this in his book, The Hunger Habit: Why We Eat When We're Not Hungry and How to Stop. Lees meer
The Hunger Habit is a concept that explores the parallels between overeating and other forms of addiction. Brewer's research suggests that the root cause of many addictive behaviors, including overeating, lies in the craving and reward-based learning processes of the brain.
Brewer's approach to breaking the Hunger Habit revolves around mindfulness. He believes that by bringing mindful awareness to our eating behaviors, we can develop a deeper understanding of our cravings and make more conscious choices. Mindfulness allows us to observe our thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations without judgment, enabling us to break the automatic and unconscious patterns of overeating.
Overall, Judson Brewer is known for bridging the fields of mindfulness, neuroscience, and addiction, offering a unique perspective on breaking free from addictive patterns and fostering behavioral change through these mindfulness-based interventions.

Does Fear Run the Show for You? Here's How to Change This. With Guryan Tighe
24 februari 2026 · 41 min
Our guest today is Guryan Tighe, Coach and Author of the book Unmasking Fear, How Fears are our Gateways to Freedom. She refers to herself as a Fear Technician and gives us a great definition of what this is. She poses the question "what if fear isn’t the enemy?" What if, instead, it’s important information and an invitation to better understand ourselves. Lees meer
She gives us a practical look at why fear runs the show for so many of us, and how to change that.
She unpacks the somatic nature of fear, why our nervous systems can treat “little fears” like “big fears,” and how our protective patterns get wired over time. She shares how to approach our inner critic (She named hers “Gretchen”), how to separate intuition from fear, and why courage is often just fear properly directed. This episode is packed with tools, reframes, and real-world examples to help you meet fear with curiosity instead of avoidance, and return to what matters most.

Oprah’s Life Coach: Finding Purpose, Integrity and Emotional Healing. With Martha Beck
20 februari 2026 · 44 min
Today’s encore episode is with Martha Beck, a PhD, Harvard-trained sociologist, world-renowned coach and New York Times bestselling author. She has published nine non-fiction books, one novel, and more than 200 magazine articles. Lees meer
She’s also known as Oprah’s Life Coach . Her most recent book, The Way of Integrity, Finding Your Path to Your Your True Self, is an Oprah book club selection and a NY Times best seller.
In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a process that anyone can use to find a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a way to be free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us— negative habits and patterns, too much people pleasing, staying in stale relationships or careers— happen because we are out of touch with our true nature. This signals a split from integrity — which very often is unconscious and fueled by cultural norms and traditions that lead us in directions that aren’t, in fact, right for us. Getting back in sync with what is true for us brings us into alignment and this is where we become our best selves. Meditation has been a huge part of her own process in bringing her life into integrity.

Tapping into the Unknown. Exploring What We Can’t See. (If you like the Telepathy Tapes, you’ll LOVE this). Suzanne Giesemann
10 februari 2026 · 55 min
Today we’re joined by someone whose life journey challenges everything we think we know about reality, consciousness, and what happens after we die. My guest is Suzanne Giesemann, a former U.S. Navy Commander and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff—someone who once lived firmly in a left-brained, evidence-driven world. Lees meer
After the sudden and tragic loss of her stepdaughter, Suzanne experienced a profound shift that led her to explore the nature of consciousness and the afterlife. What began as personal grief turned into a mission that has since helped millions find healing, meaning, and peace. Today, Suzanne is an evidence-based Medium, Spiritual Teacher, and Author who bridges the gap between science, spirituality, and personal experience.
In this conversation, we explore what mediumship really is, how consciousness extends beyond the physical body, and how connecting with loved ones—and with a deeper sense of awareness—can transform grief into growth. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or simply curious, this episode invites you to question reality and open yourself to the possibility that we are far more than we imagine.

Forget Traditional Doctrines! A Skeptical Buddhist Shares his Practical Philosophy. With Stephen Batchelor
29 januari 2026 · 29 min
Throwback Thursday Encore: I listened to Ezra Kleins NY Times Opinion podcast the other day as Ezra interviewed one of my favorite Buddhist authors, Stephen Batchelor. It reminded me that I’d interviewed Stephen in 2016 and loved chatting with him. His philosophy is timeless, so I thought I’d encore it today. Lees meer
Stephen is a Scottish Buddhist teacher and Author known for his secular or agnostic approach to Buddhism. His focus is on experience, ethics, and human flourishing over traditional doctrines like karma and rebirth. He was previously a monk in the Tibetan and Zen traditions before developing a more skeptical, and pragmatic buddhist approach, detailed in his earlier books like Buddhism Without Beliefs and Confessions of a Buddhist Atheist. His current book is called Buddha, Socrates, and Us: Ethical Living in Uncertain Times. We don’t cover this here since our interview is from 2016…but I’m looking forward to reading the new book.

Grace, Gravity and Growing Older. Accepting All of Who We Are. With Parker Palmer
23 december 2025 · 1 uur 8 min
A Favorite Encore. Today’s guest is one of my favorites of all time. When I first interviewed Parker Palmer, the writer, teacher, poet and all around wise and soulful human — it was near a birthday that was giving me some pause as I was feeling the weight of time passing. I felt such a rush of pure humanity from listening to his words. It was the best birthday gift. The book we discussed is called On the Brink of Everything: Grace, Gravity, and Getting Old. It’s one of 10 amazing books that he’s authored. He says we must accept all of who we are…our wholeness and our brokenness. Wholeness involves integrating your imperfections along with whatever degree of perfection you may have achieved. It means embracing brokenness as an important part of our lives. It all belongs. I loved when he said that our hearts stay supple when we learn to embrace the little heartbreaks of everyday life. Eventually, he says, we can say...Yes, I am my strengths and my weaknesses. I am my successes and my failures. I am a source of light and I can be dark. It's all there. Welcome it all as a part of being human. Lees meer
Parker has reached millions worldwide through his books, including the best-selling Healing the Heart of Democracy, Let Your Life Speak, The Courage to Teach, and A Hidden Wholeness.
He also holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California at Berkeley and 13 honorary doctorates. He has won numerous awards, which are listed in our show notes. Encore Episode.

Wisdom From the Grandmother of Animal Communication (Fan Favorite!) With Penelope Smith
23 september 2025 · 1 uur 1 min
Today’s guest is the amazing Penelope Smith…known joyfully as the grandmother of animal communication. She’s a founder and trailblazer in the field of interspecies telepathic communication and the author of classic books in the field, including Animal Talk, When Animals Speak and Animals in Spirit. She has a vast body of work and educational materials on the topic. In this interview, she shares her own journey to becoming an animal communicator, which actually came quite naturally to her, as well as many personal stories. I know some people will find this topic a bit woo woo, but you’ll be surprised how authentic and natural her philosophy and methods feel. In fact, I started practicing with my dog, Milo, right after this interview. We’re working on it! Penelope believes all of us have the ability to communicate with other species. Her approach emphasizes treating animals as spiritual beings — intelligent, feeling entities with souls. Makes sense! I wondered if all animals are even interested in telepathically communicating with humans ;-) We may be the kooky ones. Anyway…It’s a fun, fascinating conversation. I hope you enjoy it. Lees meer

Encore Episode. Today’s guest is Dr. Joel Kahn. He’s a world renowned Cardiologist, Author and Host of the podcast Heart Doc VIP. He’s also referred to as America's Healthy Heart Doctor. He gives us confidence that, yes, we can take charge of our health. In this interview, he shares practical advice and tools to help us crack the code on heart disease which still, hard to believe, is the leading cause of death. Lees meer
He believes that we can do much better…with a mix of testing (he says test don’t guess), a calcium heart scan, advanced labs if needed, a plant based diet, exercise, sleep, hormones, supplements and, if needed, medicine. He shares some of the research on a plant based diet and heart health, as well as its potential to reduce dementia risk. He’s very bullish on a plant based diet and you’ll understand why after listening to him. He’s passionate about making sure that we’re all as informed as possible. His extensive knowledge, experience and access to the latest research is truly empowering. And it’s nice that he’s a fun guy too.
I’ve been on the track to learn more about heart disease personally — so was thrilled to have Joel on our show. I learned so much from him.

Transform Your LIfe: Break Free From The Limiting Patterns That Are Keeping You Stuck. With Michelle Chalfant.
26 augustus 2025 · 52 min
Today’s guest is Michelle Chalfant, Author of the book The Adult Chair, Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power and Transform Your Life. Lees meer
She’s also a therapist and created the Adult Chair Model, where she combines psychology and grounded spirituality to inspire personal transformation.
In this discussion, we explore the metaphor of life stages represented by chairs. Michelle shares her unique perspective on how the child, adolescent, and adult chairs symbolize our developmental journey. She delves into the significance of each stage, the unconscious beliefs formed in childhood and the impact of our childhood development on shaping our adult behaviors. The child chair, she says, lays the foundation or our initial road map; next comes the adolescent chair — the phase where our ego develops survival strategies based on our childhood; and then the adult chair, which ideally represents the stage of a healthy adult, generally starting around age twenty-five when the prefrontal cortex is developed. Living in the adult chair is marked by raised consciousness, awareness of self and others, living in the present moment, feeling emotions, setting boundaries, sharing needs, and taking responsibility for one's actions, choices, and motivations. It's a fascinating discussion!

Navigating Emotions with Clarity, Courage and Compassion: Practical Strategies. With Dr. Alissa Jerud
22 juli 2025 · 46 min
Today, we're diving into a topic that’s close to home for so many of us—Navigating our emotions. It’s one of the most common struggles we face, and every time we explore it on Untangle, the response is overwhelming. Lees meer
My guest today is Dr. Alissa Jerud, a clinical psychologist, researcher, and the author of the book Emotion-Savvy Parenting. Her work focuses on helping us build practical, evidence-based strategies for navigating the storm of emotions that life inevitably brings. And, as you might guess, Anxiety is one of our most challenging emotions.
What I love about Alissa’s approach is that she doesn’t treat anxiety as something to “get rid of.” Or any difficult emotion for that matter. Instead, she helps us understand it, accept it, work with it, and even grow through it. We talk about the myths of coping, how we often make things worse without meaning to, and why the strategies we instinctively reach for might not be serving us. We also learn how to become more emotionally agile, and the powerful practice of doing the opposite of what your anxiety urges you to do.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by strong emotions and wanted to respond with more clarity, courage, and compassion, you’ll find this to be an interesting conversation.
