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. In this episode, we cover:Why capable, intelligent people still struggle with fear and stucknessThe 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 safeWhy many women are socialized to wait until they’re “ready,” and how to break that patternA 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 Resource: margiewarrell.com As always, we’re untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband that helps to transform your brain potential.

Welcome to Untangle throwback Thursday, This interview with Dan Harris was recorded 10 years ago, one of our first. But it’s pure Dan…big heart and funny sense of humor. And humility.  Dan Harris was then an ABC News Anchor and the author of the books "10% Happier" and "Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics." He’s funny and honest, and shares how meditation has helped him handle conflict and everyday annoyances with those who matter most in his life. I think he's taught most of us more about meditation and anxiety than almost anyone. He discusses tools for learning meditation--especially for those who say they can’t sit still (like most of us.) Now, here’s one of our first episodes and with Dan Harris.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.  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.
