  • The Grief You Don't Know You're Carrying — with Claire Bidwell Smith

    The Grief You Don't Know You're Carrying — with Claire Bidwell Smith
    Jun 18 2026
    What if some of the anxiety, exhaustion, irritability, or emotional heaviness you're carrying is actually grief? In this episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with renowned grief therapist and bestselling author Claire Bidwell Smith to explore the many forms grief can take—and why so many people don't recognize they're grieving until it begins affecting every area of their lives. Claire shares insights from decades of personal and professional experience helping people navigate loss. Together they explore anticipatory grief, caregiving, anxiety, non-death grief, generational grief, and what it means to grieve consciously rather than pushing pain away. This conversation offers a compassionate roadmap for anyone moving through loss—or supporting someone who is.

  • The Hidden Cost of Replaying What You Should Have Said

    The Hidden Cost of Replaying What You Should Have Said
    Jun 10 2026
    Have you ever replayed a conversation in your head hours—or even days—after it happened? Maybe you regret something you said. Maybe you wish you had spoken up. Or maybe you don't even know why your mind keeps returning to it. In this episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein explores why replaying conversations isn't a flaw in your thinking—it's your nervous system searching for safety and completion. You'll discover why unresolved interactions become "open loops" in the brain, why forcing yourself to stop thinking rarely works, and a simple 60-second practice that can help your nervous system finally release what it's been holding onto. If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of rumination, self-criticism, or overanalysis, this episode offers a practical and compassionate path forward.

  • How to Meditate Without Even Trying — with Peter Russell

    How to Meditate Without Even Trying — with Peter Russell
    Jun 2 2026
    What if meditation isn’t about controlling your thoughts—but about stopping the struggle against them? In this insightful episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein speaks with Peter Russell about a radically different approach to meditation—one rooted in relaxation, curiosity, and allowing the mind to settle naturally. Peter explains why most people believe they’re “bad at meditating,” how the brain’s default mode network naturally creates thoughts, and why trying harder often creates more tension instead of calm. Together, they explore anxiety, emotional awareness, body-based presence, and the subtle art of letting go without force.
