The New Man

Richard Schwartz introduced IFS or Internal Family Systems many years ago. Since then, the process has been used to heal, strengthen, and align the minds of many people — including myself. I use IFS daily in meditation as well as in my coaching practice to help clients confront their fears and get out of their own way. When it comes to being productive, I’ve found that IFS works much, much better than forcing our way through resistance. And it’s amazingly effective at helping us cut through the noise so we can connect to what some may call our essential or spiritual Self. Schwartz has a new book called, “No Bad Parts” and today we’re going to explore the inner critic, our addiction to achievement, and getting out of our own way. https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2021/09/richard-schwartz-no-bad-parts You don't have to settle.

When you tell her she’s being ‘hormonal’ why does it typically erupt in flames? Why do heated conversations have a tendency to spiral into infernos? And is it more important to win the fight or find a solution? It’s not always sunny in the Lanier household, and on this particular day, I stepped on a landmine. After the fire was brought under control, Alyson thought it might be helpful to turn on the mics and explore what caused the fire - as well as what we did to put it out. But to be honest, like a moron, I ended up pouring gas on it again during this conversation. https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2021/09/fighting-with-your-wife You don't have to settle.

What does it mean to be a warrior in your life? Do your insecurities distract you or keep you stuck in stupid pissing matches? And is it possible to train ourselves so that we can be calm in hell? If you’re even remotely familiar with the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu then you know that Rickson Gracie is nothing short of a legend.

What if your normal level of stress, anxiety, or depression didn’t have to be normal? Do you feel like you’re using work, alcohol, or something else to outrun the uncomfortable thoughts in your head? And how can we use our stress and darkness to help us live a more full, rewarding life? Before Keith Kurlander became a founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Center, he struggled with serious mental health issues. He ran away from the promise of a highly lucrative life on Wall Street to find relief on a path which took many, many turns.
