Navigating Complicated Relationships - Michaela Gaffen Stone Do you find yourself wondering why you overeat, even as you reach for more food? You are not hungry, but something tells you to eat more. Why does that happen? Well, the first thing to know is that you are not alone. In fact, you are a part of the majority! Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA, PN 2 coach will consider the more obvious reasons for overeating and she'll delve into the more difficult causes that tend to be hidden from view. Overeating tends to be multifaceted, which makes sense when you consider how complex humans are! For example, the relationship between overeating and interpersonal relationships is often a key factor that needs to be understood before it can be addressed. You probably already know that individuals' relationships with food can impact their relationships with others. For instance, someone who struggles with emotional eating may find it challenging to engage in meaningful connections with friends or family members, as their focus may be consumed by thoughts of food or body image concerns. This can lead to feelings of isolation and hinder the development of supportive social networks. Is there really a solution? Tune in to today's episode to find out! Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA & PN2 Coach will show you some of the ways overeating quietly becomes a coping mechanism, and she'll offer ideas for how to safely overcome the strategies that once served you and now do not.

Navigating Complicated Relationships - Michaela Gaffen Stone When was laziness invented? The word “lazy” first appeared in English around 1540; even back then, it was used in a judgmental way to refer to someone who supposedly didn't like work or effort. So where does the idea of laziness come from? Many etymologists believe it came from either the Middle Low German “lasich,” which meant “feeble” or “weak,” or from the Old English “lesu,” which meant “false” or “evil.” The idea that “lazy” people are weak and lack motivation, making them morally corrupt and evil, is still with us today. But is it really 'a thing'? Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA and Human Behavior expert will reveal the real meaning behind 'laziness' in this episode. While some studies of motivation suggest that laziness may be caused by a decreased level of motivation, lack of interest, and confidence which in turn can be caused by over-stimulation or excessive impulses or distractions, Michaela disagrees. Bring your notepad for this thought provoking episode!

Navigating Complicated Relationships - Michaela Gaffen Stone Join Michaela Gaffen Stone, Human Behavior Expert as she takes you on a riveting journey, delving deep into the world of agnotology - where ignorance is deliberately crafted to serve the interests of powerful industries. In this eye-opening episode, Michaela will shine a spotlight on the food industry, pharmaceutical giants, and the weight loss industry, uncovering the hidden tactics they employ to manipulate perception and obscure truth. Here are just a few of the key things you will take with you today: The truth about fad diets and quick fixes: Agnotology is the method used to persuade the public to try numerous fad diets and quick-fix solutions over their lifetime. Each one leaving the dieter poorer financially and convinced they have failed the diet, instead of understanding that the diet has failed YOU! How about the blame and shame that often accompanies dieting for weightloss? Agnotology! Between the weight loss industry telling you that the 'fix is easy' and the pharmaceutical giants offering a 'zero work' medical option, the subliminal message here is that YOU are the problem when easy fixes don't work. And they don't. Not long term, anyway. This can lead to increasing feelings of shame and inadequacy, further perpetuating the cycle of weight loss attempts and failures. Join human behavior expert, Michaela Gaffen Stone, as she uncovers what agnotology means for you.

Do family discussions about important decisions or behaviors seem to spiral into shouting matches? In this episode we’ll look at ways to drain the tension out of situations. Join Michaela Gaffen Stone and her special guest Alex W as we explore some steps to reconcile conflict by building mutual understanding, respect, and trust. Alex Weissenfels is an eccentric existentialist philosopher specializing in applied metacognition--figuring out how to change how we think to more effectively solve problems. With his engineering education and intense technical support experience, he can troubleshoot a variety of problems through research and testing. He can pick up knowledge of new systems rapidly with practice. What most interests him is resolving systemic issues so that problems do not recur. That includes helping people shift paradigms in order to understand things better and build more effective routines. Over the years he's put together a toolbox of foundational concepts to help people express what matters most and to provide a place to start learning how to overcome different kinds of obstacles. Most recently Alex has taken his experience with seeing the different perspectives across a wide variety of disagreements and developed a systematic approach for reconciling conflicts. This is the simplest, most impactful tool so far, and with it he's been helping people understand each other and frame situations constructively. That's how we can build a world we can all be proud of.
