To New Beginnings
It’s been four years since I began podcasting. I started with Mastering Midlife, which later became Mastering Overwhelm as my coaching practice evolved. You have all stayed with me for over 400 episodes, and after countless solo conversations and interviews with my brilliant guests, it is time to close the Mastering Overwhelm podcast. I have been going around the world, having a blast, and learning about living life. But all great things come to an end—so that other great things can begin. In this episode, I share what I hope you learned—what I hope I was able to impart—from the Mastering Midlife and Mastering Overwhelm podcasts. I also introduce The Rising Leader and describe how my Only 10s principle and career in coaching and sales are culminating in the next major project of my life. “I hope you noticed my humanity and how rich it is now that I’ve learned to accept my humanity, my spiritual self, and growth.” - Mark Silverman This week on Mastering Overwhelm: My fourth year as a podcaster Lessons I hope you’ve taken from Mastering Overwhelm Introducing The Rising Leader Mastering Overwhelm - Set Yourself Free to Enjoy Your Success Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of the Mastering Overwhelm Podcast.

Stress and Trauma in Adults and Adopted Children with Bryan Post
Bryan Post is an entrepreneur, speaker, author, and founder of Post Institute, an organization dedicated to helping parents heal wounds created by trauma. Post Institute has published over 100 books, DVDs, CDs, audio recordings, webinars, and articles on parenting children who have experienced pre-birth and early life trauma. One of America’s leading child behavior and adoption experts, Bryan has taught and offered love-based, family-centered principles and concepts to over one million parents and professionals worldwide. He also currently serves as the Clinical Director for Parents in Training, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides wraparound services to adoptive families throughout Northern California. Bryan joins me today to discuss trauma and stress and how we can manage our responses to them. He defines trauma and describes its dynamics in adopted children’s lives. He explains why the loss of someone close to us can cause a physiological disruption and why taking the time to grieve is important. He dissects how trauma causes us to become fearful and stress-sensitive. He also shares what we can learn as adults from soothing a child who’s having a tantrum at the supermarket and underscores how we can learn to work through fear-based anxiety and stress responses by practicing mindful breathing. “All emotional reactivity stems from unfinished business. The moment you find yourself being stressed out, it has far more to do with you than the other person in the situation.” - Bryan Post This week on Mastering Overwhelm: Bryan’s background and his passion for helping adoptive families Adoption and why it can be a traumatic experience for a child Bryan’s definition of trauma and the basis of post-traumatic stress disorder Society’s aversion to grief and other negative emotions How practicing mindful breathing can help us manage fear-based anxiety and stress responses The allostatic load and window of tolerance Addiction as a trauma response The physiology of stress and trauma reactions How to help soothe a child having a tantrum in the supermarket Navigating emotional highs and lows Resources Mentioned: Book: The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life (https://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Brain-Mysterious-Underpinnings-Life/dp/0684836599/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+emotional+brain+by+joseph+e.+ledoux&qid=1669099057&sprefix=the+emotional+brain%2Caps%2C406&sr=8-1) by Joseph Ledoux Book: Peaks and Valleys: Making Good and Bad Times Work for You - at Work and in Life (https://www.amazon.com/Peaks-and-Valleys-Spencer-Johnson-audiobook/dp/B001UL7NVM/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=peaks+and+valleys+by+spencer+johnson&qid=1669100147&sprefix=peaks+and+vall%2Caps%2C378&sr=8-1) by Spencer Johnson Book: Who Moved My Cheese?: An (https://www.amazon.com/Who-Moved-My-Cheese-audiobook/dp/B07F7LS2ZW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=who+moved+my+cheese&qid=1669100158&sprefix=who+moved+my+%2Caps%2C317&sr=8-1)A-Mazing (https://www.amazon.com/Who-Moved-My-Cheese-audiobook/dp/B07F7LS2ZW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=who+moved+my+cheese&qid=1669100158&sprefix=who+moved+my+%2Caps%2C317&sr=8-1) Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life (https://www.amazon.com/Who-Moved-My-Cheese-audiobook/dp/B07F7LS2ZW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=who+moved+my+cheese&qid=1669100158&sprefix=who+moved+my+%2Caps%2C317&sr=8-1) by Spencer Johnson Connect with Bryan Post: Bryan Post Website (https://www.bryanpost.com/) Post Wraparound (https://postwraparound.com/) Post Institute (https://postinstitute.com/) Book: From Fear to Love: Parenting Difficult Adopted Children Using a Love-Based, Family-Centered Approach (https://www.feartolovebook.com/misc-28687180) Post Institute on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/postinstitute) Post Institute on Twitter (https://twitter.com/postinstitute_) Bryan Post on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryanpost1/) Bryan Post on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/bryanpostofficial/) Bryan Post on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/bryanpost567/?_rdr) Bryan Post on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV5-uTmUc1fDKFqVWHepuRQ) Mastering Overwhelm - Set Yourself Free to Enjoy Your Success Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of the Mastering Overwhelm Podcast.

Following Your YES with Ken Bechtel
Ken Bechtel is an author, speaker, and podcaster. He is the creator and host of Speaking of Partnership, a podcast with listeners in over 100 countries. In his recent book, Follow Your YES: A Simple Idea to Improve Anyone's Life, Ken shares ideas on building confidence and eliminating overwhelm across the full spectrum of life. He has invested over 20 years into researching and refining what it takes to make people thrive in this busy world and is dedicated to helping people expand into their fullest expression and live fulfilling lives. Ken joins me today to discuss “following your yes” and how doing so can impact your life. He distinguishes the “internal yes” from the “intellectual yes.” He discusses why a “no” uttered from the deepest convictions is better than a people-pleasing or conflict-avoidant “yes.” He explains how following “maybes” over an internal “yes” makes us overwhelmed and overburdened. Ken also reveals the key to transforming your life and underscores how staying true to your “yes” can become a gift to the people in your life. “The key to any transformation is not the first commitment that you’re going to transform, it’s re-committing when we fall off the track.” - Ken Bechtel This week on Mastering Overwhelm: Your “yes” as divine guidance The decision-making process and how to distinguish whether it’s an “internal yes” or an intellectual justification How feelings push us forward and guide us through life The discovery of Only 10s and how to declutter our minds of shiny objects The fear of missing out and how following your “yes” can become a gift to the people in your life “Maybeland” and the importance of letting yourself be a beginner Productivity, overwhelm and following your “yes” How Following Your YES encouraged me to write Rising Leader Resources Mentioned: Book: The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection (https://www.amazon.com/The-Surrender-Experiment-audiobook/dp/B00YOJ9RV6/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+surrender+experiment+by+michael+singer&qid=1668580080&sprefix=the+surrender%2Caps%2C784&sr=8-1) by Michael A.
