Today, we’re diving deep into a topic we all know too well—what to do when life throws us off balance and we get upset. Have you ever felt like your emotional “boat” has been capsized by an unexpected wave? In this episode, Alan explores the nature of upsets, why they happen, and—most importantly—how you can right your own ship when turbulent emotions strike.

Through vivid analogies, from dream-like movies to mythological tales, Alan unpacks how our thoughts steer our reactions and behaviors, often without us even noticing. He explains the power of becoming aware of your thoughts, the role of judgment and the ego, and how a simple shift in perspective—towards love, compassion, and forgiveness—can dramatically reduce the frequency and intensity of life’s upsets. You’ll learn practical techniques for calming your mind and body when you’re emotionally triggered, plus get inspired to approach daily challenges with greater mindfulness and self-kindness.

Tune in for a practical and powerful conversation on regaining calm, finding balance, and creating more peace in your everyday life. If you’ve ever wanted to spend more time in a state of ease and less time adrift in agitation, you won’t want to miss this episode!
