Episode hosted by Mark Divine:

Today, Commander Divine speaks with Tony Nader, MD, PhD, global expert in the science of consciousness and human development and head of the Transcendental Meditation organizations globally.  In the episode, Tony shares the science of consciousness and the relationship between mind and body, consciousness and physiology, and the possibility to develop full human potential.

Key Takeaways:

Transcendental Meditation as an inner and outer practice. The reality is many Westerners think of meditation as an internal-only practice and therefore avoid it at all costs. Transcendental Meditation (TM), which Dr. Nader champions in the West, is instead both an internal and external practice, used to create more harmony in our real world lives.

The survey says… meditate! Tony shares how TM has created research-backed results in both physical and mental realms. For instance, TM practitioners experience increased mental clarity, peace, and happiness, as well as less physiological stress, better healing and ability to concentrate - even (get this) better behavior!

Ultimate reality and… rock consciousness?  Tony details how TM allows practitioners to experience ultimate reality, which is the experience of all consciousness, everything, as one. Oh, and that includes rocks, which also hold consciousness, albeit of lower values than us humans. 

Less than 1% to heal the world.  Studies have shown, including an experiment done in Washington, D.C., that when less than 1% of a population come together and practice Transcendental Meditation, there are cosmic shifts in the overall population behaviorally and mentally. Less car crashes, less violence, crime, and so on. TM is quite literally changing the world, by bringing us into harmony with the all-encompassing oneness of everything.

The Mark Divine Show | Unification Through Meditation with Dr Tony Nader

You walk into the office or log on to your morning meeting, and something feels off. One of your most reliable team members is distracted, quiet, and not meeting expectations. You wonder if you should say something… but you don’t want to overstep. You’re not a therapist. What if you say the wrong thing?

In this episode, Dr. Bray explores what managers should do when they notice signs of emotional distress in an employee. Inspired by the Harvard Business Review article “Helping an Employee in Distress” and grounded in real-world psychology, this conversation will give you the language, mindset, and confidence to lead with both care and clarity.

You will learn:
• How to recognize red flags without becoming intrusive
• What to say when you notice something is wrong
• How to respond with empathy while protecting healthy boundaries
• What research tells us about listening, validation, and psychological safety
• How one manager’s simple conversation helped turn around a difficult situation

You will hear stories similar to Jordan's, a creative lead known for his big ideas and positive energy. When he started arriving late and keeping his camera off in meetings, his manager, Taylor, gently checked in. That five-minute conversation revealed that Jordan was quietly navigating burnout and family stress. Taylor did not try to solve it, but she listened, offered support, and pointed him to resources. That small moment of connection helped Jordan feel seen and gave him the space to get back on track.

This is not about having all the answers. It is about knowing how to open the door and walk alongside your people when it matters most.

Tune in and learn how to support your team through challenging moments without compromising performance, professionalism, or humanity.

QUOTES BY DR. BRAY
"Empathy is not about offering sympathy, but about being committed to fully understanding someone's experience."
"Cognitive reframing is a process of replacing unhelpful thoughts with a more realistic and balanced view of a situation."
"Even a 5 to 7 minute conversation can really change things."


Episode 580 How to Help a Coworker or Employee in Distress: Part 2

According to Wikipedia “Iain McGilchrist's 2009 work, The Master and His Emissary has sold over 200,000 copies worldwide. It sought to consolidate research in brain lateralisation and to insist on the individual and cultural importance of the bi-hemisphere structure of the brain”. McGilchrist suggests that “we have become entranced by the version of the world brought into being by the left hemisphere and forgotten the insights produced by the right”.

His publishers persuaded him to write a very short book, Ways of Attending, which took the main arguments  of his larger, more complex and more technical work, and rewrote them as an extended essay for interested lay-people.

In this episode Owen Kelly looks at some of these arguments, quoting from Ways of Attending and McGilchrist’s other published extended essay, The Divided Brain.

Ep. 116: i-BrainTech and Data-Driven Visualization with Dr. Konstantin Sonkin

In this inspiring episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisen sits down with leadership coach and author Dianna Kokoszka to explore her new book, Becoming More: You Can’t Get to Better Until You Get to Different. Dianna shares how her journey—from real estate to international coaching and traveling alongside John Maxwell—inspired the book’s powerful message. Topics discussed include shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset, the science behind rewiring your brain, the importance of intentional language, visualization techniques, and how to step beyond your comfort zone to embrace transformative change.

Dianna’s stories, like helping her brother relearn how to walk and speak after a brain tumor or coaching a woman to reclaim her singing voice after decades of silence, underscore the book’s key lesson: we are all capable of becoming more—if we dare to think, act, and be different.

Topic Discussed:
-Growth mindset vs. fixed mindset
-Becoming vs. being – identity transformation
-Adaptive learning model
-Visualization and the reticular activating system (RAS)
-Power of language and affirmations
-Breaking comfort zones and overcoming fear
-The “To Become” list vs. traditional goal setting
-Reprogramming the subconscious mind
-Childhood conditioning and limiting beliefs
-Faith, energy, and intentional living

One of my goals with this podcast is not to only have some of the best speakers on topics that interest me on, but also to have a neuroscientist on. Which happened in this conversation! I was excited to have Amanda Higgins Neuroscience PhD on to discuss brain aging and why its not only hormones and our weight we should be paying attention to in perimenopause and mid life. We seem to forget about the brains importance when it comes to health and feeling good. And this is definitely an OVERLOOKED TOPIC when it comes to perimenopause. 
So what really happens to the brain as we age and what can we do about it? In this episode, I sit down with a neuroscientist to explore the science of cognitive decline, the root causes of dementia, and the practical strategies we can use to protect and enhance brain function over time. We discuss the latest research on brain aging, key lifestyle habits that support long-term cognitive health, and actionable steps you can take to keep your mind sharp, resilient, and high-performing at every stage of life. Whether you’re looking to prevent dementia, optimize mental clarity, or simply better understand your brain, this conversation offers powerful insights grounded in science.
