John R. Miles on The Mattering Effect: Rebuilding Meaning, Connection & Self-Worth in a Culture of Utility In this @SilverDisobedience Perception Dynamics host Dian Griesel interviews John R. Miles, author of Passion Struck and host of the Passion Struck podcast, about his new book The Mattering Effect and why many outwardly successful people still feel burned out, lonely, disconnected, or emotionally depleted. Miles argues these struggles are driven by “unmattering,” a gradual erosion of significance as modern institutions shift us from a culture of mattering to a culture of utility, where worth becomes conditional, transactional, and tied to performance, status, and visibility -- especially in workplaces and social media. He explains the “mattering market,” rooted in childhood environments that condition autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and describes social media as an accelerant that quantifies belonging. Miles introduces his science-based MATTER framework: Meaning, Autonomy, Trust, Time, Energy,…

Clear Trauma Now: Dr. Judith Swack's Holistic Healing Techniques
Lyttet tilWhy You Regress Around Family: Dr. Judith Swack on Trauma Triggers, Damage Patterns & Tapping to Regulate @SilverDisobedience Perception Dynamics host Dian Griesel interviews Dr. Judith Swack, a biochemist and immunologist, who is also the author of “Clear Trauma Now.” Together they explore why capable adults can regress around family gatherings or feel outsized reactions to certain holidays, dates, people, and places. Dr. Swack explains “damage patterns” as unconscious, physiological responses formed when trauma isn’t fully processed, which can shape perception, behavior, health, and relationships for decades. She outlines her Healing from the Body Level Up (HBLU) method that integrates conscious, unconscious, body, and soul levels, and describes using muscle testing to access inner guidance and identify blocks. Defining trauma as a fight-or-flight response that becomes conditioned and “frozen in time,” Dr. Swack proposes to the audience that time doesn’t heal trauma and she demonstrates how…
The Impact of Our Surroundings on Our Headspace with Leidy Klotz
Lyttet tilHow Your Space Shapes Your Mind with Leidy Klotz, Author of "In a Good Place" In this @SilverDisobedience Perception Dynamics podcast episode, Dian Griesel interviews University of Virginia professor Leidy Klotz about his book, In a Good Place, and how the spaces where we live, work, and play quietly shape our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors. Together, they discuss how familiarity and a sense of control can increase comfort in an environment; why spaces can “advertise our values;” and, how small, intentional changes -- such as reducing clutter or redesigning layouts -- can reinforce desired values and connection. Klotz explains the calming effect of “organized complexity” found in nature and design, and how noise and clutter can raise stress even when tuned out. He also suggests “space before screen” to reconnect with the physical world. As a way to regain attention, he notes that observing the ways that kids’ notice their worlds serves as a good model for developing deeper awareness. Grab…
When Words Aren't Enough: Exploring Hidden Conversations with Dian Griesel, Perception Analyst & Professional Confidant
Lyttet tilThe Conversation Beneath the Conversation: How Perception Drives Misunderstandings In this @SilverDisobedience Perception Dynamics podcast episode, host Dian Griesel explains why conversations can get really confusing or very tense -- even when we're thinking our words seemed straight-forward enough. Dian explains that in most conversations, there is the primary one and often a second, “invisible” conversation happening underneath. This second convo is being shaped by each person’s interpretations of trust, respect, competence, control, and safety. Using examples like discussing project decisions, lateness, pricing, and seemingly reasonable questions that are heard as criticism, Dian describes how meaning forms through individual perception -- highly personalized lenses built from our unique past experiences, sensitivities, and current emotional states. It is these factors that lead to emotions and then behavior that can derail communication. Dian explains that most communication breakdowns are…
The Heart- Brain- Memory Connection with Deborah Rozman, HeartMath Institute
Lyttet tilHeart-Brain Coherence: HeartMath’s Deborah Rozman on Stress, Memory & Alzheimer’s Protection In this @SilverDisobedience Perception Dynamics episode, host Dian Griesel interviews Deborah Rozman, Ph.D. of The HeartMath Institute about research that supports evidence that the heart and brain constantly communicate and influence emotions, stress responses, and cognitive health. Rozman describes HeartMath’s origins, early biofeedback work, and how heart rate variability (HRV) patterns reflect emotional states—jagged during stress and smooth, sine wave-like during positive emotions — termed heart coherence. During the episode you'll hear about evidence that most heart-brain signaling is heart-to-brain via pathways including the vagus nerve, and how coherence breathing paired with gratitude or compassion can balance the nervous system. Rozman cites independent studies using HeartMath sensors reporting correlations between daily coherence practice and reduced amyloid markers, improved memory, and reversal of…
