Emotional Longevity

What if the key to avoiding burnout isn't a complete life overhaul—but simply learning to listen to the signals your body is already sending?
In this powerful solo episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein reveals why most of us have learned to override our bodies—and how that disconnection leads straight to burnout.
Dr. Goldstein shares a simple three-part check-in practice that takes just minutes but can transform how you relate to stress, emotions, and your own needs. From childhood conditioning to adult overwhelm, discover why your body keeps getting louder when you ignore it—and how to rebuild trust with yourself starting today.
This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about tuning into what's already there.

Ever catch yourself replaying the same worrying thought over and over—Did I say the wrong thing? Why do I always do this? I should be further along—and wonder if something's wrong with you?
In this transformative episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein reveals the surprising truth about looping thoughts: they're not a sign of weakness—they're your brain trying to protect you.
Dr. Goldstein breaks down the neuroscience of mental loops, why they keep us stuck in emotional suffering, and shares a simple 3-step practice to interrupt the cycle without fighting it. This isn't about pushing thoughts away—it's about offering your brain a truer, kinder story.

What if the key to better relationships, less stress, and real emotional freedom wasn't about changing what happens—but changing how quickly you respond?

In this powerful episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein introduces a groundbreaking Tiny Shifts series with one deceptively simple practice: the 10-second pause.

Most people think meaningful change takes months or years. But Dr. Goldstein reveals how a single micro-moment—just 10 seconds—can interrupt old patterns, activate your prefrontal cortex, and shift you from reactive autopilot to intentional awareness.

From parenting conflicts to workplace tension, this practice works anywhere stress shows up. You'll learn exactly how to recognize your triggers, release physical tension, and refocus on what actually matters—before you say or do something you'll regret.

This isn't theory. It's a research-backed tool you can use today.

What if AI isn't just changing how we work—but rewiring how we think, feel, and cope with anxiety?

In this groundbreaking episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with Dr. Jud Brewer—neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and NYT bestselling author of Unwinding Anxiety—to explore the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence and mental health.

Dr. Brewer reveals the hidden psychology behind AI "flattery machines," why these tools can both help and harm our emotional wellbeing, and how his new Going Beyond Anxiety program uses AI augmentation to deliver evidence-based support exactly when you need it.

From the neuroscience of validation to the future of therapy, this conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about AI, empathy, and human connection.

What if the path to calm wasn’t about doing more — but learning how to rest?

In this deeply grounding episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with Oren Jay Sofer — meditation teacher, author of Say What You Mean and Your Heart Was Made for This — to explore how presence, communication, and rest can restore our nervous systems in a noisy, divided world.

They uncover why so many of us struggle to rest, how self-worth and performance are intertwined, and what it really means to live and communicate from the heart. From reclaiming our right to rest to learning mindful communication in the age of overwhelm, this episode will help you reconnect with your basic goodness and find peace in everyday life.
