This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

The Cognitive Liberty Podcast with ChrisPYounce

Home de séries•Feed

This Podcast is my way of sharing my book, Cognitive Liberty in audible. It’s a deep dive into the arts and sciences of our humanity in attempt to synchronize our evolution with our creative process as individuals and as a collective. In each episode, I plan to provide brief rundowns and background information based on why I wrote the book and where its relevance lies in the world today. Cognitive Liberty offers our bodies and brains a resolution to our being, and embrace life as a journey on its own terms. It’s a friendly reminder that we’re part of a learning process in constant stages of development and indeterminism. The more we’re able to have fun with the process, the greater the freedom we experience in return.

Thanks for tuning in folks! Feel free to get a copy of the book so you can read along - it's available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, and wherever books are sold! Here's a URL hub to check it out, just click on the icon store of choice at the bottom of the page on the link below: https://pagepublishing.com/books/?book=cognitive-liberty-younce In this episode, I begin to tackle the age-old mystery of consciousness, how it works, what it does, and why it matters in our lives as we begin the new year of 2024. Though I do not claim to even have begun to scratch the surface of this elusive topic, this is the point in my book that is the cornerstone of my research and what this book attempts to unpack as it aims to understand consciousness as the ground of being. Contrary to popular belief and scientific dogma that the brain is what generates consciousness, I would argue that the brain is more of a receiver of consciousness, and secondary to cognitive functions, which is what will T-off part two of this section - the last of Part I and of this Chapter on The Evolution of The Brain.

Happy New Year's Eve everybody! Thanks for tuning in! Feel free to get a copy of the book so you can read along - it's available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, and wherever books are sold! Here's a URL hub to check it out, just click on the icon store of choice at the bottom of the page on the link below: https://pagepublishing.com/books/?book=cognitive-liberty-younce In this episode, I talk about neuroplasticity to demystify it as a concept by looking at it more like a process that is constantly in motion because it characterizes the very notion of evolution. The fact that we're made of drugs speaks to this idea that we are always going through changes in neurochemical structure from one state of consciousness to another. Just as emotions are primary drivers of our physiology, our neurological wiring compliments this ability we have to influence our states of being. The best news is that we have a choice in how we think, feel, and behave. In the coming new year, let's use it wisely! I hope you enjoy this episode and the reading from my book.

Here's a URL hub to check it out, just click on the icon store of choice at the bottom of the page on the link below: https://pagepublishing.com/books/?book=cognitive-liberty-younce In this episode, I talk about a recent challenge I had in the fermentary moments before I recorded this segment. Thanks to the uplifting spirit of Monty Python humor and the Institute of HeartMath's research in cultivating Heart-Brain coherence, I was able to transcend my frustration into an appreciation of the moment to access real solutions to the problems at hand. This is a testimony of how the brain is an adaptable social organ. It responds to over 90% of the signals from the heart and its consciousness. The internal and external environmental forces at play seem to pull the strings from one moment to the next, and our brains and bodies respond accordingly. But as Dr. Joe Dispense points out in his work, to be greater than the environment, the body, and time means we need to cultivate a new way of being present and in the moment. When we choose how to be , we can shift into a new realm of thinking, feeling, and behaving. I hope you enjoy this episode and the reading from my book. Thanks again for listening!

Feel free to get a copy of the book so you can read along In this episode, I cover the section from the book on Interpersonal Neurobiology and its implications for what it can tell us about ourselves, our mental health, and the relationships that contribute to the development of our brains. Friendships are what give us our sense of connection to the world. In fact, having friends is so powerful that it can actually remedy mental health ailments, such as depression and anxiety. There is a real essence in the fellowship in our evolutionary development. As such, we are lifelong learners and there is simply nothing we can’t achieve when we band together and make friends with each other. I hope you enjoy this episode and the reading from my book.

16. The Structure of The Ego 22:41

22:41

In this episode, I scratched the surface of perceiving the ego differently. What does the ego offer to our neurological and psychological way of being? How do our social circumstances reinforce the ego? And what does this mean for our lives on a personal level? In our journey of becoming more self-aware, I think it's important to question how our ego becomes developed over time, based on the people we hang out with, the stories we've told ourselves, or what we've been told throughout our lives. Our ego is a story. As fictitious as may be, it is what hinges our social experience to what we take seriously about ourselves as it molds and forms our identity over time.

This episode is about how societal habits mimic the autistic tendencies we unconsciously engage in when it comes to the cultural ideologies and economic policies that keep us stuck in a box of limited perspective, especially when it comes to our ability to self-reflect how we treat the environment, each other, and ourselves. As self-referencing beings, we must remember to check in with ourselves individually and embrace our ability to choose how we want to be. We are all co-creating our world as we go, remember to do so consciously . I hope you enjoy this episode and the reading from my book. Thanks again for tuning in!

14. The Disordered Mind 31:14

há 2 years31:14

31:14

This episode was recorded on July 8th, 2023. In this episode, I share a story of some recent adversity I faced personally. Part of this lends to the ongoing process of how challenging it can be to summon our resilient nature when we’re faced with unexpected changes and curveballs, which can render us at the mercy of nature to the point where we may feel hopeless and frozen. My personal account of this exemplifies how I applied my teaches as a certified HeartMath Trainer. I relied on my heart's wisdom to feel okay with the decisions I made to resolve the problems at hand. In the process of trusting my heart, I realized that a common denominator of the disordered mind and feeling victimized by our circumstances results from a disconnect of our heads to our hearts. Getting in touch with our hearts is probably the most effective means of recalibrating our consciousness with our deepest intentions. I hope you enjoy this episode and the reading from my book.

13. Left and Right Brain Hemispheres 29:49

há 2 years29:49

29:49

In this episode, I introduce a book I’m reading by Gregg Braden, who introduces a critical question: who are we? As we address this question, we can reflect more deeply on our choices based on free will. But how much free will do we actually have? This question could also be “How conscious are we?” Be it of the choices we make or how much of our lives are self-directed. We rely on the space in between more than we realize. What I mean by this is that when we cram everything in from one day to the next, we have less and less bandwidth to give ourselves the space to make choices for ourselves. It’s as if the space between those spaces is where the spirit resides in order to give life to our minds and bodies. Our feelings of separation from our exchanges with our world and the people in our lives are part of this greater question of who we are. How we feel matters. What we bring to the table for ourselves and others matters. The emptiness is what lends to our free will to create the chemistry of feelings we use to create the stories of our lives. Our emotional intelligence is entangled with our ability to choose, even though emotions can be an involuntary or spontaneous process because they are the primary drivers of our physiology, and thus they tend to dictate how we think and behave. With that said, it’s all about knowing how to navigate the empty spaces, and thus our free will to think, feel, and behave, wisely. Remember that we are the main characters in our story.

12. The Mammalian Brain 27:23

há 2 years27:23

27:23

In this episode, I hop into the significance of our neurological energy as derived from the fungal kingdom. We are animals first, and humans second. So, in order to get in touch with our human nature, we must become familiar with our animal nature, and thus our fungal nature. Our roots come from the fungal kingdom, which is where animals come from. Neurons and fungal behavior are very similar with regard to their electrical and molecular functionality. Mammals are fungal organisms, believe it or not. With that said, I take a moment to share Merlin and Cosmo Sheldrake’s piece that captures fungal mycelium in audible. Check it out on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KAnGAtSSgE and see for yourself. Very cool stuff! I also talk for a bit about my journey as a beekeeper, which has a lot to do with our mammalian nature to connect, proliferate and create. As humans, we have an intuition for the creative dimension of our being that guides our lives based on what we feel is right for us and our fellowships that create sustainable relationships in order to perpetuate our lives into the future. Our sustainability depends on this side of ourselves that can sense when we’ve gone astray. We are deeply connected to our environment and our ecosystem and we are very lucky to bear witness to it.

11. Chapter 2: Cultural Conditioning 24:56

há 2 years24:56

24:56

In episode 11, I open the floodgates of chapter 2, Cultural Conditioning, by describing the indisputable fact that we are survival mechanisms at the end of the day. Our energy is based on how we respond to our natural and social environment. Without getting too deep into our unique subjectivity, we mustn’t forget that we are beings subject to our objectivity. This is how we judge. But we can’t ignore the fact that this is something we can influence as free minds, using whatever bandwidth of free will we have, to determine what thoughts and feelings we want to experience or allow to manipulate our judgments in the first place. Our inner kundalini becomes programmed based on what we fear and where our comfort zones and their parameters lie. This chapter (in the segments to come) is loaded with neurocentric examples and neurobiological evidence that our minds are a reflection of our emotional environment. So, what better way to manipulate our mental energy than to get through to what energetic serpent lies within to toy with our emotional strings? Our responsibility to be human means we need to learn how to be responsible . This means we need to reckon with our ability to respond in the first place and learn to master how we regulate our emotions in this body, here and now. This begins with learning how to self-direct our thoughts, which influence our feelings and emotions. This is where we will learn to identify where and how we allow culture to guide our thinking and judgments. Because all culture is in the first place is a set of idealistic principles embedded in concepts and beliefs. Nothing more; not right or wrong, nor good or bad. Until we learn how to break through our cultural paradigms, we will not know how to overcome our own personal program. That being our comfort zones and our autistic ways of individuality. See you in the next episode where we dive into the section of the book about the mammalian brain and its limbic system. Thanks for listening folks!

In this episode, I lead off by acknowledging the death of a dear friend and former supervisor of mine, Valerie LeGrand. Thank you for everything you taught me in the realm of person-centered human services, fiscal responsibility, and much more. My hat is off to you, your work ethic, and the legacy you built. Huge loss for the world. We will always miss you, Val. As the episode unfolds, I intended to provide a brief rundown of some key terms for listeners to keep in mind because the book explores these terms from a conventional lens of where we can apply their relevance today. Terms like Tao, Wu Wei, and Zen. Some of which you may have heard before. But I wanted to unpack these terms as a means of broadening the horizon of the Western worldview so as to step outside of our misconception regarding the forces of nature at play when we consider how our mental health is a symptom of deep insecurity. As beings that participate in a lived-experienced world, we must come to terms with the fact that our insecurities are part of an arcane confusion and a lack of accepting who we are that dates far beyond our documented human history. By recalling insights from the longtime forgotten Eastern philosophies of the above-mentioned terms, we can begin to heal our psychological pain and simply learn how to perceive ourselves and our world without all the judgment and the attachment to the outcome. This segment closes out chapter one of the book, Relating to Autism . I look forward to sharing chapter 2 with you guys in our next episode, which explores the neuroscience of cultural conditioning, relationships, and the fear-conditioned response in general.
