Resilience Unravelled

This week on Resilience Unraveled, JB Glossinger explains how childhood bullying and being held back in third grade led him to adopt the name “JB” (James Brian) and build a life around Emotional Intelligence and consistent systems rather than short-lived motivation. He describes creating the Morning Coach daily coaching show 21 years ago, producing about 6,000 episodes, shifting to a paid model in 2009, and helping professionals worldwide build structure, focus, and energy. JB contrasts mastery as “boring” Zone 2 consistency with hustle culture and “get rich quick” marketing, criticizsng hype-driven courses that harm people financially and emotionally. He links resilience to mission, vision, values, and eliminating noise by strengthening “the muscle of no,” alongside energy management, integrity, and ongoing self-optimisation, including leaving alcohol and caffeine.00:00 Welcome 00:24 Why He Became JB02:22 Growing Up and Finding His Way03:38 Morning Coach Origin Story05:37 Motivation vs Consistency07:09 Breaking the Failure Loop08:31 Building Your Life System10:23 Zone 2 Mastery and Boring Success12:00 AI Hype vs Real Growth13:26 Resilience Through Saying No15:21 Energy Audit and Long Term Focus16:41 Energy Over Noise17:26 Building Emotional Intelligence18:30 Quitting Vices For Peace20:29 Who Morning Coach Helps22:03 Writing Get It Done Now23:10 Rejecting Hustle Culture26:04 Calling Out Guru Scams28:36 Integrity And Resilience30:07 Where To Find JB30:48 Final Thoughts On HypeYou can contact us at [email protected] can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com#resilience, #burnout, #intuition

Host Dr Russell Thackeray interviews Todd Malloy in Huntersville, North Carolina, about his journey from a marginalised upbringing to nearly 30 years as a mechanical engineer and then to becoming a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified sex therapist and sexuality educator, and former pastor. Malloy describes how his corporate experience (including product design and managing P&Ls) helps him support C-suite clients by blending business realities with psychological safety and coaching. He argues therapy is part of the solution to a culture of “suffering in silence,” discusses triggers and “neural hijacking” (using Will Smith’s Oscars incident as an example), and emphasises evidence-based approaches and using emotions as data. He also explores redefining manhood to fit modern realities and promotes tools on ToddMalloy.com, including discussion cards for those who can’t afford therapy.00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:36 Todd’s Origin Story02:24 From Engineer to Therapist05:57 Why Therapy Matters07:55 Culture and Emotional Expression10:03 Stress, Health, and Evidence12:30 Engineering Mindset in Therapy16:10 Modern Manhood Redefined18:29 Letting Go of Old Scripts19:31 Politics, Resources, and Wrap UpYou can contact us at [email protected] can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

In this Resilience Unravelled episode, host interviews London-based accountant, business advisor, and qualified hypnotherapist Pratiqk Jaani about his shift from feeling unfulfilled despite achieving milestones to a sense of wholeness. He explains that ideas of a “good” or “bad” life are conditioned from childhood and perpetuate a scarcity mindset, creating chronic lack and chasing outcomes.Through meditation focused on the pauses between breaths and self-inquiry, he identified a neutral “observer” state (which he calls “Dhrasti”) untouched by emotions, reframing experiences as simply experiences rather than labels. He links this perspective to reduced stress and improved resilience, describes how a 2017 tuberculosis diagnosis prompted him to quit his job and start his business, and shares that his book launches April 25 on Amazon, with further details at PratiqkJaani.com and "dhrastimethod.com" for a 3 Day experience event planned for late September.00:00 Meet Pratiqk Jaani00:25 From Accounting to Seeking02:04 Conditioning and Scarcity04:21 The Observer Within05:49 Piano Mindset and Flow07:14 Social Identity and Meaning10:29 Why Practices Don’t Stick12:04 Business Lessons Without Attachment13:19 Resilience and Reframing15:22 Tuberculosis Turning Point18:04 The Book and Trusty Method19:18 Where to Find Pratiqk19:54 Final Reflections and ThanksYou can contact us at [email protected] can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com#resilience, #burnout, #intuition

She outlines her practical “SEE” framework: Stop (self-regulate), Empathise (connect), Educate (teach life skills).The conversation links parenting and leadership, discusses workplace equity versus resentment, gender inequality and lack of support after parental leave, and Australia’s new minimum age for social media to reduce harms like bullying, anxiety, and body-image issues.

The episode of Resilience Unravelled with Dr Russell Thackeray discusses “aging well” as an inevitable journey that can be actively shaped, emphasising that while financial security can ease burdens, the most important pillars are accessible regardless of wealth. It argues aging well isn’t about chasing extreme longevity, but cultivating resilience, purpose, connection, health, and meaning. Key themes include building strong social ties to counter loneliness, engaging in community, hobbies, volunteering, and maintaining meaningful conversations. It highlights lifelong learning and curiosity to support neuroplasticity and cognitive health, alongside practical physical habits like daily movement, balance practice, nutritious cooking, and prioritising sleep. The script also stresses mindset—gratitude, adaptability, and reframing narratives—to handle loss, identity shifts from retirement, and challenges like declining mobility, concluding that a “rich” later life is defined by relationships, community, and continued growth.00:00 Why Aging Matters01:00 Money Versus Meaning03:48 Connection Beats Loneliness06:42 Purpose And Learning09:32 Move For Life14:45 Sleep And Brain Health18:21 Mindset And Resilience20:26 Facing Later Life Challenges23:54 Independence Planning Early24:52 A Rich Life ConclusionYou can contact us at [email protected] can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com#resilience, #burnout, #intuition
