How do you begin the process of change? First, you become aware of who you are now. You shine a light on your unconscious, automatic thoughts, behaviors, and feelings – becoming so conscious of them that nothing slips by your awareness unnoticed.

You do this without criticizing, judging, or blaming yourself. Instead of identifying with what you notice, imagine that you’re a curious bystander. Observe where, when, and how you lose awareness in your waking day – and what triggers or stimuli cause you to default to self-defeating thoughts and emotions.

If you can avoid judgment, remain in the moment, and watch yourself in real time, you can collect all the information you need to begin to create a new state of being.

Are you ready to make a change? Dr Joe’s most popular, foundational course is getting a long-awaited upgrade. The updated Progressive Online Course represents a dramatic evolution of his teachings – featuring his most current research, lectures, and meditations.

Writing "Atlas of the Heart" changed pretty much everything I thought I knew about the science of emotions. On the website this week I'm sharing 10 learnings that changed how I think about stress and overwhelm. Full references are included.

Overwhelmed by many things. Grateful for even more — including this community. If you're celebrating next week, Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m so grateful to the “menoposse” — the courageous medical professionals, activists, and researchers — who are openly talking about women’s health. So many women my age are navigating the grief and rage of watching our mothers being dismissed and discounted as they asked hard questions and begged for answers about the changes they were experiencing — many of them life altering and certainly quality of life changing.

Here’s to honest debate, discourse, and discovery about women’s health across the lifespan. No shame, no stigma.

I hope you enjoy the conversation with Dr. Mary Claire Haver — her work has been an essential part of the menopause conversation for me.
