In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton explore one of the most powerful—and underestimated—tools for emotional intelligence and healthy relationships: the phrase “Help me understand.”

Drawing from real moments with kids, partners, and everyday home life, Ash shares how this one sentence can dissolve assumptions, regulate reactivity, and repair years of feeling misunderstood—especially for neurodivergent kids and adults. Dave adds his perspective on triggers, self-awareness, and how to hold space for curiosity even when your nervous system is activated.

This conversation is warm, honest, and deeply practical—an invitation to slow down, ask before assuming, and choose connection over conflict.

• Why “help me understand” interrupts spiraling assumptions

• How this phrase transforms communication with neurodivergent kids

• The difference between reacting, projecting, and responding

• Emotional intelligence: awareness, regulation, social awareness & relationship management

• How tone, physiology, and intention matter more than the words

• Breaking generational patterns of yelling, blame, and character shaming

• Modeling triggers, repair, and emotional safety for children

• Where do you tend to assume intent instead of asking for clarity?

• What happens in your body when you’re triggered—and how can you pause before reacting?

• How might using “help me understand” change your relationships at home or work?

In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Ash and David dive into the messy, sacred, and often confusing terrain of decision-making during big life transitions. What happens when your intuition is a full-body yes… but the data says you’re walking into chaos? How do you move forward when you're navigating uncertainty, spiritual nudges, emotional upheaval, or a partner who processes decisions completely differently?

This conversation is warm, honest, playful, and deeply human—exploring everything from intuition, faith, emotional processing, spiritual bypassing, relationships, patience, and the discomfort of holding conflicting truths.

Whether you’re facing a major life choice or trying to understand how to make decisions in partnership, this episode offers grounded wisdom, nervous system attunement, and gentle encouragement to trust your inner knowing—even when the path looks foggy.

• Why intuitive decision-making often clashes with logic

• Full-body yes/no signals and what happens when they don’t match the data

• Navigating decisions with partners who process very differently

• Anxiety, urgency, patience, and pacing through big life transitions

• The gap between belief and reality (delusion vs faith)

• How emotional processing supports clarity (without spiritual bypassing)

• Relationship frameworks for decision-making without conflict

• The role of God/Spirit/intuition in guiding big life choices

• Why discomfort doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path

• When has your intuition guided you somewhere that didn’t make sense on paper?

• What decision-making style do you naturally default to—and how can you honor it more?

• Where in your relationships do you rush, avoid, or override instead of communicating what you need?

In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton continue their conversation on self-awareness with a practical twist: how to observe yourself in real time.

Ash shares a powerful exercise she uses with clients and couples—recording important conversations on video—not to prove a point, but to see yourself with fresh eyes. From unconscious facial expressions to the mismatch between words and body language, this practice offers a mirror for growth rather than criticism.

Dave reflects on how he once used recording as a weapon in arguments, and how shifting that intention toward curiosity changed everything. Together, they explore the difference between observing to control versus observing to understand, and why the goal isn’t perfection—it’s partnership, accountability, and growth.

In this episode:

• How to use recording as a tool for self-reflection, not evidence

• Why most communication happens beyond words

• How to spot the mismatch between what you say and what your body reveals

• What to do when you notice your “performance” on camera

• How to use observation to build conscious relationships

• The “death, burial, and resurrection” model for healthy partnership

• Why collaboration, not competition, is the foundation of love

Ash and Dave invite you to pause, watch yourself without judgment, and use self-observation as the doorway to healing and connection.

Reflection prompts:

• When was the last time you truly watched yourself communicate?

• Do your energy, words, and body language tell the same story?

• How can you turn self-awareness into collaboration, not criticism?
