In this final episode of The Re-Mind Podcast (in its current form), Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton sit together on New Year’s Eve to reflect on the end of a chapter, the lessons that shaped them, and the intuition that guided them here.

After more than two and a half years and 136 episodes, this conversation is not about endings rooted in failure—but about evolution, seasons, and trusting the unknown. Ash and Dave share honestly about what this journey has prepared them for, how their callings have shifted, and why letting go is sometimes the most aligned act of growth.

This episode is a gentle, grounded invitation to honor what has been, release what no longer fits, and step forward with courage—even when the next step isn’t fully clear yet.

• Why this chapter of The Re-Mind Podcast is coming to a close

• The difference between a calling that prepares you and one that takes you somewhere

• Trusting intuition when the future feels blurry

• Letting go of vanity metrics and external validation

• The cost—and gift—of choosing growth over certainty

• Reflections on the most impactful episodes and lessons learned

• What’s next for Re-MIND and David’s evolving work

• Where might you be holding on to something that has already done its work?

• Can you trust that what’s preparing you now will make sense later?

• What would it look like to honor a season without needing it to “pay off”?

In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton explore one of the most misunderstood emotions—for kids and adults alike: anger.

Using a powerful real-life story from Ash’s daughter at the library, this conversation gently unpacks the difference between feeling anger and being angry—and why confusing the two leads to shame, suppression, or emotional explosions. This episode offers parents, caregivers, and leaders a practical, nervous-system-informed way to help kids process big emotions without splashing them onto others.

With warmth, humour, and clarity, Ash and Dave discuss how emotional regulation isn’t about control, suppression, or “being good”—it’s about awareness, safe expression, and learning what to do with what’s inside us.

• The difference between feeling anger and being angry

• Why trying to “control emotions” doesn’t actually work

• How kids (and adults) project emotions when they don’t know how to process them

• A simple jar-and-water activity to teach emotional awareness

• Why anger itself isn’t bad—but a dysfunctional relationship with anger is

• The danger of suppressing anger vs exploding with it

• Emotional intelligence: awareness, regulation, and healthy expression

• When you get angry, do you try to suppress it—or does it spill onto others?

• How was anger handled in your family growing up?

• What would a healthy relationship with anger look like for you or your child?

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?
