What do you know? Have you given up what you know for someone else's point of view or judgment?In this episode Shannon explores in depth the topic of knowing, what we can do to strengthen and acknowledge what we do know to avoid creating pain and suffering in our lives. An insightful, potent and clearing conversation that invites us on an epic quest of choosing, creating and acknowledging our knowing. If we knew what we know and claimed and owned it, how would that change the creation of our lives?What if knowing could be a great gift to you?Key takeaways:Perceiving, Knowing, Being and Receiving compound on each other and are each a vital element of consciousness.Every time you say I don't know, every time you don't want to know, you are limiting what you can receive.We use doubt to distract us from what we know.To strengthen your knowing, stop saying “I don't know” and replace it with: “What do I know?”Knowing exists independently, if you know something it doesn't mean you have to do something with it.Resources: Shannon O'HaraConsciousness Anywhere Podcast episode 31 - PERCEIVINGWhat I love about the tools of Access Consciousness®Talk To The Entities®Access Consciousness

"Your life will tell you the truth." —Martha Beck, author of The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self Divided. Compartmentalized. Unable to give what is needed, not by choice, but by pure, sincere inability due to time and energy. Signs of living a life off the track of the way of integrity. Martha Beck explains in her new book, The Way of Integrity, the word integrity originates from the Latin integer meaning "in tact" and therefore cementing the definition of integrity as "to be one thing, whole and undivided". When we are not living a life of integrity, we are not being true to ourselves, nor the world. Now you might be thinking about the general and more commonly understood definition of integrity - living by your 'values' or abiding by the morals society applauds, but this is not what Beck writes about in her book. Instead, Beck looks at the true meaning of the word and applies it to each of us individually, daring to step away from any culture's expectations - a life of integrity is one when you have aligned your body, mind, heart and soul - your actions, your mental strength, your true self - you set yourself free. In the introduction she uses a phrase commonly known on this blog/podcast - you achieve a sustainable joie de vivre. "You may not believe that such a fulfilling life is possible. It is," Beck states with calm, assured confidence and goes on throughout the rest of the book, speaking from her own incredibly challenging and terrifying and finally liberating life journey, indeed what she shares is true. "No matter how far you think you've strayed from your true path, the moment you say I'm going to trust myself, I'm going to follow my truth, the healing begins." Beck's book crossed my path just after I had officially and publicly announced a resolve to live my own life of integrity as I had turned in my resignation papers concluding a 20-year career in teaching public education at the secondary level. I arrived at my decision after more than a few years of hemming and hawing about such a choice being necessary for me to live fully in alignment with what I knew to be true in my heart of hearts. And, as I shared in my May episode of the video series A Cuppa Moments (learn more about becoming a TOP Tier subscriber and discover more intimately why I made this decision here), it wasn't about running away; it was about running toward something I loved even more. Another way of looking at the way of integrity is much like putting together a puzzle. It can be especially hard to rationalize why we should leave something when on paper and to onlookers everything hums along beautifully, but if the puzzle doesn't allow your true nature to be nurtured, as Beck describes, when you are "rushing to conform . . . often ignoring or overruling [y]our genuine feelings—even intense one, like longing or anguish—to please your culture . . . you've divided yourself. [You] aren't in integrity (one thing) but in duplicity (two things)." In other words, the puzzle isn't your puzzle to be a part of. Having the courage to step away from something that works, even if we languish while others shine is not living a life of integrity. "When you pursue a career that pulls you away from your true self, your talent and enthusiasm will quit on you like a bored intern." The question we each need to ask ourselves is, “Does the culture nurture your nature?" Pause for a second before answering because I would have answered yes a couple of years ago as the quality of my overall life improved immensely having moved to Bend, Oregon. And what enabled me to move to this dream-of-a-town in my eyes? A teaching job; however, upon reflection, with more truths revealed, and after reading her book, my answer whilst trying to teach and write, is most certainly no. How do you know if you are out of your integrity? 1."Your life goes pear-shaped" Beck reveals how our inability to communicate civilly, snapping at people we love, letting ourselves be distracted regularly by rabbit holes on the internet, and on the health side - your "immune system and muscles becomes weaken . . . emotionally feeling grumpy, sad or numb." Focus and clarity — difficult to maintain, sickness is more frequent and energy is depleted. All of these 'symptons' are red flags your life is out of integrity. Let's end this point on some good news: "Integrity is the cure to unhappiness. Period." 2. Living a life governed by the 'should's and 'supposed to' expectations Living simply luxuriously, at its core is built upon questioning society, putting into practice critical thinking skills and thereby thinking well. When we think well, removing our biases and acknowledging the short-sightedness as well as true motivations of the culture we live in, we can think clearly and free ourselves from the pressures and guilt placed upon us to live a certain way. Even if 'your way' seems simple compared to significant societal differences such as announcing you are an atheist in a family full of devout believers of any one religious institutional faith, acknowledging your truth regarding your gender even if your family or friends cannot understand your truth, or standing up for a political issue which forces your family to confront their own long-held unconscious biases. Your way of integrity needs to be honored to set yourself free. Beck writes in detail about her own breaking free from the 'should's when she speaks about her stepping away from Mormonism (receiving death threats for doing so), sharing with the world and her husband that she is gay, and choosing to keep her child who she knew to have Downs Syndrome (even though at the time, people she respected urged her to not to). In great emotional, yet step-by-step detail, she shares how she made it to the other side and because each decision was her truth, her choice, she set herself free. She stopped living the life she was 'supposed to' and stepped courageously into a life of integrity. 3. Emotional Struggles "Whenever you lose your integrity, you'll feel your own unique brew of bad moods, depending on your personality . . . anxiety and depression [or] . . . free-floating hostility, itching to punch everyone in your office, familiy, zip code [or] . . . full-on panic attacks, especially during special occasions." For me, leaving teaching felt culturally 'wrong'. What I mean by that is, teaching and being a teacher is held in high regard, as, in my bias, yet as much as I can remain objective, it should be. So leaving a profession which society holds in deservedly high esteem felt to already be making the 'wrong' decision. However, as Beck calls them, my 'wild beasts' of bad moods would arise in the weirdest of times. I knew something was not in alignment, but nearly all of my acquaintances, friends and even my mother, were or are teachers. So how do you have a conversation with them about leaving a profession they are already in and most of whom sincerely love and have found their calling? In my case, you keep teaching. 4. Bad habits — can't break them The bad habits could be an onslaught of a variety of behaviors ranging from less harmful to incredibly life destructive, but anything which does not constructively add to your life and the quality of your days is a bad habit. Whether excessive financial expenditures, harmful drinking or eating habits, relationship failure after failure because you refuse to have the ability to either see or change what needs to be addressed, such habits stay with us because "when [you're] feeling fundamentally lost, afflicted by purposelessness, foul moods, and bad jobs, anything that stimulates the brain's pleasure centers can become an addiction." I can thankfully say, I had a positive outlet for my lack of finding complete fulfilling purpose in teaching: blogging, which turned into podcasting, which turned into cooking, which became my pleasure and purpose and I am incredibly grateful I honored my curiosity to explore what this 'blogging thing' was all about way back in 2009. I don't think we all have to have horrible habits so much so it becomes painfully obvious to outsiders we are not on the right life path for true integrity, but what I appreciate about Beck's book is bringing to our attention habits which if we are being honest with ourselves, aren't helpful to living a life we sincerely love living, but we keep engaging in said habit because we need the pleasure; we need something to 'feel' good because so much doesn't, and we don't know or don't have the courage yet to step off the path that isn't ours to walk. How to return or begin to live a life of integrity? 1.Stop lying "Here's the rub: if you stop lying, you'll eventually, inevitably violate the rules of a culture that matters to you." Stop lying when responding casually to the question, "How are you doing?" Be comfortable with expressing your exuberance or exhaustion about the day. The passive or a default way of living is not living, and it's not the way of integrity. How we connect with others, truly connect, is to be honest. I find that our culture is more comfortable with complaining even though America strives to be happy at all times. It is as though we must not be 'too happy' lest someone either question what makes us happy or want our happiness, when the truth is, there is not a limited supply. However, most Americans are too exhausted to figure out their own unique path to happiness. But the supposed secret as Beck reveals is simple: finding and living your integrity will lead you to peace, which will lead to the desired outcome of happiness. Again, this is a push-back on culture, not the people living within the culture. Admittedly, yes, a culture is made up by people, but when we recognize we are complicit in any culture which doesn't wish for its people to find peace and contentment, we must question it. Doing so is an exercise in critical thinking. And how we do that is by finding our own way of integrity and living it. 2. Knuckle down for the first step of changing your life - it will be hard Be prepared, the first step, the first shift you make will be the most difficult and will feel impossible on your way to fully being your true self. But the good news is, it is 'steepest at the start'. And in even better news, because you are stepping into your integrity, let that energy be your fuel. Just as it did for Dante (Beck's entire book parallels the journey of Dante through the levels of Hell in Dante's Inferno, Part I of The Divine Comedy) who because he wanted to be set free "so damn much" used that "intense wanting" to "propel him forward over terrain he doesn't believe he can cover." 3. Acknowledging and walking away from 'bad or disordered' love "'Bad' or 'disordered' love emerges when people are well-meaning but mistaken—for example, when we feel loyal to people and ideas that don't match our inner truth." So many of Beck's anecdotes are specific and clearly teach what she is introducing to readers. On this point she shares, "You might stop laughing at your coworker's crude jokes. You may come out as gay or trans. You may start posting things on social media that shock your loved ones. You may turn into some version of Rosa Parks, refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person." In sharing these examples, she reveals how quickly our lives will change when we step away from 'bad' love. And it happens quickly because while you've known for quite some time your truth, you haven't shared it with those who you've let keep 'loving' you in a way that serves their needs, but neglects yours. 4. Be prepared to contemplate returning to old ways (even if they weren't true to you) Prior to deciding to leave teaching, I chose to regularly see my counselor, and I am grateful I did. On this point, she reminded me, after always checking in with me about how I was feeling about my decision (once I had decided I would write my resignation letter) that there will be mourning for the 'old misery'. In other words, the life you know and are leaving, you will at times - whether in your dreams or in different states where you are emotionally weak or exhausted (these times especially were when my doubts would arise) - seriously doubt the decision you are about to make. What is happening is natural, and it does subside in time as I can share now after having felt those moments of mourning for the known misery early on after having made my decision. "Studies in psychoneuroimmunology show that if we plunge too quickly into any major change, even a good one, our bodies and minds can't absorb the shock. We must give our psycholoigcal and physiological systems time to adjust." How we give ourselves this time is where the phrase "mourning the known misery" comes from. And it is knowing that such a temporary state exists that we are able to better navigate through this time and into a life in which we are fully embracing our true nature. A few words from Beck on this subject, "If you start honoring your true nature and find yourself missing your old culture, don't panic. Be kind to yourself. Allow yourself time and space to grieve. Confide in loved ones. If they don't understand, find a coach or therapist. But don't think that missing your old life means you should go back to it." 5. A life transformed for the better "Whatever you do to heal the world, it will replace [bad health, habits, moods, etc. - what Beck refers to as 'dark wood of error symptoms'] with purpose, happiness, vitality, love, abundance, and fascination that specifically match your true nature." Perhaps this all sounds too good to be true, but simply the fact that you are thinking that is the hope you have unconsciously, that you hope it can be true. That it can be possible. Benefits of finding your way to integrity and living it daily 1. A life full of "meaning, enchantment and fascination" The world needs what you uniquely can give to it. When we each find the courage to honor our nature especially when the culture doesn't nurture it, we step forward toward a life full of meaning, and we as well become uplifted and enthralled with the awesome life we have the good fortune to live. Beck points out that thankfully, 'nature doesn't give up without a fight', so if you are doubting that it is too late, that you've waited too long, no, it's not and no, you haven't. The mere fact that you are still contemplating, wishing, hoping, wondering is nature's strength of hanging on until you finally take action to courageously find your way of integrity. 2. Breath-taking moments are experienced beyond what the culture tells you is possible "Obviously, no one will have taught you how to navigate such wonders. No worries. You'll learn fast. You were born for it." If happiness, and based on having read Beck's book, I think more deeply it fits the definition of contentment, if contentment is something you could buy in the store and be promised a life of awe, wonder, peace, would you buy it? What if I told you it was free? I have a feeling some would question it must be too good to be true, but that is our conditioning when it comes to believing in how possible living well is. We have been conditioned to believe happiness can only be pursued, not attained, AND that only so many people are capable of attaining it so we must hurry up and chase it down, ignoring the present and constantly live in the future. But that is errant thinking. The ability to attain contentment for free is possible because it exists within us each already. Our answer resides in each of us. Our true nature, our true selves, has always been with us. We now just need to let it speak. In other words, let ourselves speak honestly, truthfully, and the world begins to change for the better. Not only for each one of us who courageously takes this step, but for all of us, as we begin to see who each of us actually is, how diverse and awesome we actually are and how to think well without unconscious manipulation. 3. A stronger you both physically and emotionally As you begin to step off the wrong path and onto your way of integrity, there will be push-back, but wonderfully, you will be more capable than you might have ever imagined because, "Even if the people around [you] raise merry hell, [you] find yourself coping—more than that, thriving—more easily than [you'd] imagined." 4. A more peaceful you The truth about feeling drained, emotionally exhausted, is not necessarily the environment's fault, but rather that we shouldn't be in that environment. We are needed some place else. Find that place and find your peace. 5. A life of inner harmony True contentment, as shared on TSLL many times previously, is capable of being experienced even during the most difficult of moments and heartbreaking days and events. Why? When you've found and know what inner harmony is, an alignment of your true self - body, mind, heart and soul - you acknowledge and tend to what you have control over and clearly recognize and let go of what you don't. You are living a life of truth in your actions, words and thoughts, and you are strengthened knowing how to navigate forward well, modeling and, when applicable, and you are capable, nurturing those around you forward as well with kindness and compassion. 6. Find your people who 'get' you "If you don't walk your true path, you don't find your true people." Ah, while I have met so many amazing people during my years as a teacher whether the staff and colleagues I have been incredibly fortunate and privileged to work alongside, the many, many parents who's love and tireless efforts to raise children in a world that is ever-changing, and especially the awesome students who through their natural strengths and honed skills, learning from struggles and finding truths along the way, my connection has been professional as I kept, for the most part, my writing life compartmentalized from my teaching life. Once I finally began talking about what I love about blogging, which was only this spring (except to one, maybe two people over the years), a burden on my shoulders was lifted and I felt free. Some don't understand what I am stepping fully into, and consequently, our relationships, even though respectfully collegial, have lessened, but to others, we've had far more honest conversations than we have ever had. And this is just the beginning of a positive shift. "We simply can't chart a course to happiness by linking up with others who are as lost as we are. The path to true love—true anything—is the way of integrity." In order to fully and deeply connect with others, we must be our true selves - no holding back, no editing, no 'hoping they like us'. When we are our true selves, it doesn't matter if everyone ‘gets' us so long as we let ourselves be set free, and that is what draws others of similar understanding and those who can see our honest and raw expression and who appreciate such strength into our lives. These are the people you want to connect with. These are the people with whom healthy, loving relationships grow. 7. Balance Yes, balance is possible (although our culture would have us believe otherwise, believing the skill to master is not balance but rather being constantly thrown from side to side, stressor to next stressor. Don't buy into this myth!). In The Divine Comedy, Virgil writes something that 'stuns Dante. All these 'sins' are actually based in love. Sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust are simply unbalanced relationships with rest, abundance, nourishment and sex. We can err by either compulsively indulging or rigidly repressing our natural relationship with these things. This lack of balance doesn't come when we allow union with our true nature, but when we split ourselves away from it. It's misguided thinking, not natural behavior, that causes us to stray from our innocence." Our innocence is our true selves. Our true self is found and experienced when we step into the way of integrity. Bravely doing so, courageously striding, becoming ever stronger and exhilarated with each step. 8. Fulfill your long-term heart's desires For this last point in today's post/episode, I'll leave you with Beck's words as she reflects on her own life journey and teaches us one of the grandest benefits of finding your own way of integrity, embracing your true self: "As this internal shift occurred, life seemed to deliver more and more of the things I'd longed for during my life. I began to imagine that the universe works like this: whenever we humans long for something, the Powers That Be immediately send it. But everything we've ordered is always delivered to our real home address: peace. This is why we struggle for things in a state of desperation, they don't come to us—nothing works when it's misaligned. But when we return to a state of peace, the things we've 'ordered' can finally reach us." — Martha Beck, The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self (2021) The way of integrity is a path through and with life that makes you excited simply to envision it for a moment during your day. You may breathe a sigh of relief and a smile may even creep upon your face spontaneously each time you dare to think what you imagine could be your real life. I have been so incredibly excited to share today's episode with you because while my last day of teaching doesn't occur for another two weeks, the announcement has been made, the reality has been put into place, and a peace not-yet-known-until-now is already being felt (yes, moments of mourning the known misery creep up, but they are fewer and fewer, and now I know immediately where they stem from and how to navigate respectfully through these feelings). Living simply luxuriously doesn't just happen, and it indeed takes time. When we learn the skills necessary for living a life of true contentment, we can then begin to build what will be unique to each of us. The foundation of a fulfilling, joy-filled life, is to realign yourself with your true self. To conclude with more sagacity from Martha Beck on making our way to integrity, "Not because this path is virtuous, but because it aligns you with reality, with truth. Your life will work for the same reason a well-built plane will fly. Not a reward for good behavior. Just physics." Logical and simultaneously honoring the full humanity of each and every one of us.

Sonia Lewis educates with removing shame and blame of individuals from the equation of racism.  She teaches ways to confront racism, implicit biases, and microaggressions with shared language and values that lift anti-racism and brings down anti-blackness; as well as ways to personally develop into the ally and abolitionist needed to fight in the now for those who lack privilege and proximity.    Sonia helps us call a thing a thing, face it and not shy away from the implications of harm associated with the reality of racism.   It all started at age 7 when she refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance because she didn't see "liberty and justice for all," especially those who looked like her, her family, and her community. Earning degrees in History and Psychology, a Master's in Education, and teaching for nearly 20 years were all foundational to the vision of ASCRIBE Educational Consulting, LLC and EDIFY Humanity 501c3.    At the center of Sonia's motivation is humanity and belonging. She is on a mission to rectify the harm and oppressions of racism....and is unflinching in asking the tough questions, facing uncomfortable truths, and building on equity-driven outcomes.    Acknowledging that we all have perpetuated norms based on conditionings from a  white supremacy lens has divided our collective ability to stand in solidarity rather than compete in oppression olympics. In building a future that is anti-racist, humanity must matter and equity needs to be at the center of the equation.    There is no better time than the present to fight for those most marginalized and disenfranchised by a system with the intent to deny access to wealth, life, liberty, and justice.    Get ready for a conversation with Sonia Lewis, a mother, wife, influencer, entrepreneur, and all-around unapologetic yet authentic Black magical force to be reckoned with....brace yourself for a true heart to heart for change.   Learn more about Sonia here: https://www.ascribesuccess.com   ______________________________________________ I'm so excited to share another podcast episode with you, the Fearless Freedom tribe!  I appreciate you and I'm so honored that you are listening, subscribing, and sharing the podcast with your friends.  It's thanks to you and the amazing guests that this podcast a success!   ______________________________________________ The Podcasting Launch Course for Professionals has birthed several new podcasts.  Be sure to check out the podcasts from the amazing women who launched podcasts after taking the course.

This week, we talk about the absolute shake up of a week Big Oil had, and a Music Climate Revolution that starts TODAY.  First up, a shareholder vote to add three new members to the Exxon board succeeded as part of a strategy by activist hedge fund Engine No. 1 to address the twin concerns of climate change and Exxon’s poor financial performance. One of the new board members is our good friend, Andy Karsner! He joins us at the top of the episode for a quick update on what these seats at the table mean for the Oil and Gas industry moving forward, but especially for humanity and the climate. Second, the unprecedented ruling by a Dutch Court which ordered Royal Dutch Shell to cut its carbon emissions by 45 percent from 2019 levels by 2030 happened. To give us an incredibly exciting executive summary is Lead Campaigner of the case against Shell, Friend of The Earth’s Nine de Pater. And finally for our main interview, we are joined by Co-Founder and Co-Director of Reverb, Adam Gardner, who is also the vocalist and guitarist of the band, Guster.. From intention to action, he expresses the work that Reverb has been doing over the last 18 years to disrupt industry norms and increase the climate positive impact of the music touring industry. Acknowledging the unprecedented influence and reach that musicians have at their disposal, Adam, the newest stubborn optimist recruit, explains how environmentalism can be united with fans’ passion to drive positive change and achieve meaningful environmental, social justice and community gains.

We all go through seasons of change and transitions. And when we do, our initial response is to try to figure out what’s next and where it is that we’re heading. Because not knowing can be scary and terrifying. But this fear and anxiety is often what’s holding us back from truly letting go and detaching from everything that we thought to be true.    Change is inevitable and you don’t have to understand what’s causing it. You just have to trust that the Universe is working this out for you, that you are divinely guided, and that this is all happening exactly as it is meant to. Because when you do trust and surrender, and you celebrate the shifts, it will allow you to step into all that you are truly here to experience.   In this episode:   + Embracing the massive, collective awakening that’s happening right now + Acknowledging all the pent up energy from past pains, traumas, and wounds in order to process them and let go + Celebrating the healing and all the progress you’ve made  + Fully trusting and surrendering that this is all for a bigger purpose   Get The Sacred Funnel Vault here: https://sacredfunnels.com/vault   Come hang out on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/thisistayrae/    Looking for something?

I am digging in this week on what it means to bypass your feelings.What happens when you don't allow yourself to be sad [insert any emotion]?When you think you 'shouldn't' be sad.. and don't acknowledge that you ARE sad you are bypassing how you feel.This causes a disconnect and you become out of alignment with what is happening inside of you and who you are.And you notice that disconnect subtly.. you might think 'what is wrong with me?' or 'Why aren't I happy..?' 'Or what am I supposed to be doing..'You might notice more buffering like over-drinking or overeating and avoiding doing things that you actually want to be doing.Acknowledging that you ARE experiencing an emotion is exactly what we should be doing.There is nothing wrong with you for having feelings. All humans have them, we just aren't taught about them and what to do with them when they come up.Honoring yourself and naming and accepting the feelings you have is the way to preventing more problems like over-drinking or overeating down the line.Your feelings have messages to tell you if you slow down enough and listen.Tune in and learn how to stop bypassing your own emotional experiences so you can move through them and get to the other side of feeling better.DON'T FOR GET TO SIGN UP FOR The Conference: 3-day virtual event with Angela. www.angelamascenik.com/theconference **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

As our I Am NASCAR series continues, we sit down with rising star Toni Breidinger who explains why she feels like she is just like any of the male drivers once the helmet is on and behind the wheel.Chad is immediately impressed with her confidence and having that “It” factor that translates to success on the track. The 21 year old Female is breaking barriers being NASCAR’s first Arabic driver and one of the few females competing every week.Acknowledging how intimidating it was when the guys did their test run with Dale Jr a couple weeks ago, Fred asks if she gets worried or fearful going 180+mph inches from 25 other cars? She laughs off their fear and says once in the zone it’s about control and confidence.Brandon talks about instilling a championship routine from the start and what Toni does everyday leads to accountability and success.  Of course, Channing doesn’t hesitate asking about the attention generated from the sport and how Toni deals with groupies and maintaining relationships with guys who may be intimidated by her! The generation gap between the guys and Toni shows itself when Channing asks about going to Mall and hanging at the food court to her response of not being able to relate to those activities!Spearheading NASCAR’s diversity and inclusion program, Brandon Thompson joins the conversation to speak about important strides the sport is making and how they are evolving as the world evolves.A non-football expert, Toni gets dragged into the infamous Ocho vs Brandon debate of who’s the X, as the guys search for a unbiased opinion.I AM NASCAR is a limited series and special edition of the I Am Athlete podcast with episodes slated to air every Monday in May and monthly throughout the race season.

As our hearts tear over the senseless loss of lives in the latest outbreak of violence in the Middle East, one can’t help but wonder: Will it ever end? What will it take to achieve peace in the Holy Land? Most, if not all, politicians, analysts, pundits and commentators — and nearly everyone else — have long given up hope on any comprehensive solution. After all we have witnessed, after all the attempts at peace, one need not even be a cynic be to be skeptical about the prospects. And yet, has everything truly been tried? The Western world in general rejects seeing this war between Israel and Arab/Muslims in any religious context. Many feel that in our “enlightened” and “scientific” age, religion is not and should not be a factor. Rational people can sit down and negotiate, as they would any business transaction or merger, and come up with a mutually acceptable compromise. And then move on. However, faith and religious passions don’t work that conveniently. Please join Rabbi Jacobson in this provocative presentation of a radical new approach. One that combines peace out of strength and a bold vision of the future. The true battle, he argues, is not with missiles and ammunition, but in the homes and schools that control and shape the impressionable minds of the next generation. Acknowledging that this may be a “naive” approach, Rabbi Jacobson contends that if enough of us can create a grassroots revolution, which challenges the status quo of the powers that be, we can indeed create true and lasting change, and ultimately establish a permanent peace.

Today's guest is the wonderful Charlène Gisèle. I loved this talk because she is fantastic, but also because it's likely to be controversial. That's exactly what we want to present on this podcast: perspectives that you may not have thought about, but which are grounded in sense.Charlène is a Professional Biohacker & Primal Health Coach. As a former Cambridge University law graduate and litigation lawyer, she  had the delusional tint on her mirror smashed when her father, a highly successful but stressed lawyer, had a heart attack and stroke while she was in the middle of an important trial. Coupled with the stress of her own work life as a lawyer, she ended up burning out. It was then she made the dramatic decision to step away from her legal career.Still desperate to serve clients, Charlène embarked on a world health and wellness tour and retrained and qualified as a Primal Health Coach and Corporate Wellness Consultant. She now advises her former law colleagues, individuals and top corporate executives on how to optimise their health and wellbeing so they don’t experience the same stress and burnout that she did.In Part 1, listen as we discuss:Leading a nomadic lifestyle after leaving a fancy and powerful corporate job.Charlène's time at an ashram, where the simple act of sitting still and breathing seemed alien.How her father's heart attack and stroke woke her up to the dangers of her own lifestyle.Life gives us a nudge to change direction or try something new.How she convinces business execs to focus on health by framing it as a tool for success.Her journey filling in the gaps of certain modalities and disciplines to create a holistic approach to wellness.What is biohacking?How biohackers expose themselves uncomfortably to nature and the laws of nature for their own wellbeing.Acknowledging that the meat on your plate required the death of an animal, and the benefits of hunting.The vegan diet is inherently nutrient deficient.Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatWebsite: mogawdat.com/podcastConnect with Charlène Gisèle on Instagram @charlenegisele and her website, charlenegisele.com. Don't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Sunday and Thursday.

I've been thinking about what it's like when one feels mistrustful. This can show up in different ways perhaps; maybe you're feeling mistrustful of a situation and there are components of that situation that stand out to you. It just doesn't feel safe, or it feels out of balance. Maybe the mistrust is in relationship with another person, there's something that's been said, or an action taken that doesn't contribute to your needs for consideration or respect. Mistrust can show up in a lot of different ways. Maybe it shows up because you feel that there is not enough of something so you feel mistrustful whether you'll have enough for yourself and worried that someone else is going to take more. Most likely, these scenarios that play out reflections for us of our own inner experiences we had when we were younger. Revealing for us some inner patterns that need acknowledgement of what our experiences were like. We need understanding with compassion around that. I was working with someone the other day and they had a sense of resistance that came up that sounded something like, “I will not do this. I will not go there. I will not participate. I won't.” As we took time to be with the resistance coming up and start to tease apart the threads underlying it, of what their felt experience was. There was a fear that by participating this person would make everything worse. In their perception things were bad, and they didn't want it to get worse. So, there was a pulling away and a removal of self, moving into a sense of isolation. Rather than reaching for relationship there was a hiding from relationship. Taking time with this other being, gently and slowly inviting their attention to come inward, and to notice what's happening in their body. Their throat felt heavy and tight with constriction. Acknowledging a fear of being left out, and yet because of that fear they were isolating themselves. This revealed there was another layer underlying that. When they were younger, they had made a contract, they'd made a sacred vow. Slowing down to be with that experience and to hear the vow, “I'm going to do all or nothing. I won't reach out for any connection. When I'm needing closeness, I will run away. I will feel very mistrustful of my environment in order to not feel the pain of being left out and not having enough time to connect. No matter the cost to myself or those I love." And then just resting with that, noticing the body, how it feels and how it settles. Then shifting and asking if their Essential Self is available, and did they hear the vow their younger self made to them? They heard it. It makes sense why this little one would withdraw in order to not feel the pain. But it's not serving life any more. Their Essential Self said, “I release you from this vow, and I revoke this contract, and I bestow upon you my blessing in its place.” “I bless you with the joy of sharing, even with humans. I bless you with a sense of ease with vulnerability and honesty, and the courage to continue to show up in your life, with trust." As they sat with this experience there's a softening that happens; with the face, with the body, a relaxation response. In this process where we can start to rest and digest, we can begin to integrate parts of our life experience that had never been accompanied before. This thickens the pathways for social connection. It's not a quick fix, but it's very effective, very healing, and very possible.

Part I of this conversation featuring media maven Robyn Hatcher examined the everyday realities that translate from the screen to the days of our lives. Her 9 “Actor Types” draw on her years in the entertainment industry to create a field guide to navigating the interpersonal world each day. In the compelling conclusion of this session with host Sylvia Henderson, the author of “Standing Ovation Presentations” outlines her perspective in further detail.  0:34 People and Personas With nearly 8 billion human beings riding the planet at any given moment, we are bound to come into contact with dizzying diversities in thought and action. However, Hatcher contends that from a wider view, people can generally be organized into 9 basic personality types. Among these are the charming, charismatic Hero who wins the day with wit and guile along with the Whiz Kid, who relies on a logical, data driven approach. Socially focused individuals are classified as Buddy types, achieving their aims through popularity and collaboration. Each of these Actor Types have clear strengths and deficiencies as team members. 4:01 The Ultimate Performer Asked to expand on which of her Actor Types is overall best suited to fulfill a leadership role, Hatcher illustrates the idea at their root by pointing directly to the big screen. Legendary film star Meryl Streep serves as a template for effective communication, memorably portraying a number of iconic characters over a long, successful career. The lesson here is that tailoring your approach to a given audience or set of circumstances is a phenomenally powerful skill set. Particularly in an organization’s uncertain moments, the best ability is adaptability. 6:10 Building a Brand Of course, the characters in our favorite media are defined to a great extent by the person in the role. The career of William Shatner stands as a prime example of a personality making indelible marks on every endeavour. Acknowledging the impact of individuality, Hatcher speaks on leveraging what makes a person unique into what makes them successful. In her view, branding starts with learning who her clients are as human beings, then emphasizing their strengths. The challenge is to find a balance between authenticity and utilitarianism. 8:36 Your Breakout Role We will all inevitably be forced to reshape our preferred strategies from time to time, but the communications specialist believes that there are certain roles that generally suit us best. These are the roles we feel most comfortable and competent within. Her website includes an interactive assessment where visitors can discover their main Actor Type by answering just a few targeted questions. The completed assessment also includes secondary and tertiary Actor Types, enabling the development of qualities that may be less immediately apparent. 9:40 Make it Memorable Understanding ourselves is the first step, but knowing how to make a positive impression on an audience is key to the success of any presentation. Hatcher’s book uses her experience in the film industry to draw this idea into focus. In these pages, she offers advice on how to maximize the characteristics of each Actor Type along with movie quotes and Hollywood history in a strong supporting role. Whether at the climax of a summer blockbuster, at a job interview, or on a first date, the actionable advice is always to make an impact.      Connect with Robyn Hatcher: Website- https://robynhatcher.com/ Blog- https://robynhatcher.blog/ LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynhatcher/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/SpeakEtc/ Twitter- https://twitter.com/speaketc YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzqRRfv-pjD2MbT-3wYP9FQ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/robyn_speaketc/ Connect with MindTeam Solutions: Website: https://ca.linkedin.com/company/mindteamsolutions Email: Info@MindTeamSolutions.com LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/company/mindteamsolutions

Kara Goldin shares how she persevered through difficult setbacks and challenges on her way to growing a $100 million beverage company by being relentlessly curious and creating her own opportunities out of adversity. Learn how great business developers can ensure their long-term success by thinking differently, always looking for the opportunities around them, and creating a persistent mindset around adding value to their client’s business.   Mo asks Kara Goldin: What is your best advice on how to focus on business development, grow our book of business, and grow our career? The first thing you can do is take care of your existing customer base since they were the customers that got everything started. Our natural instinct is to fear the companies with more money and more experience, but historically speaking those are the companies that end up in trouble because of their inability to change. The key to great business development is to figure out how to think differently. To look for new opportunities you need to come at them from the point of view of the underdog with passion and curiosity. As a consultant, sitting back and waiting for an RFP to land in your inbox is not a good strategy. You become stuck in reactive mode and more commoditized, with a low chance of winning. Creating your own opportunities is much more important. Kara learned early on not to listen to all the rules, and by doing so she ended up gaining access to an incredible amount of opportunities. She relates the story of landing her first job out of college and how the skill of “half-listening” and just being willing to learn and put herself out there opened doors for her all over the country. Don’t answer for other people. When it comes to pursuing relationships, don’t dismiss yourself before you try. Overthinking is what prevents people from creating the relationships and networks they want to have. Have fun with it and brush off the rejection. Perseverance is 100% a skill that you can learn and master. History definitely helps us if we allow it to help us. Look back at what worked and what didn’t.   Mo asks Kara Goldin: What can we do to create and close more opportunities? Look around at the unique opportunities that other people are not paying attention to. The key to being the best salesperson or business development person is always looking for a way to solve problems and thinking like the customer. Don’t be afraid to think differently and put yourself in the shoes of your customer so you can see their problems from their perspective. The key to understanding people is in understanding what they really want. What is the one thing that they care about most and how can you help them get it? Most business developers make the mistake of starting with themselves and what they want. Creating opportunities is fundamentally about listening to people and understanding what problem they want to solve. Kara is an incredibly curious person who likes to ask questions and this is how she finds the opportunity to help someone. Kara gains more inspiration by learning from other businesses outside her industry. She prefers to expose herself to new ideas and new approaches by purposely putting herself in situations where she’s going to learn something new. Just being a good person and doing what you do well every single day is how you attract more opportunities into your life. Acknowledging someone else’s problem and authentically trying to help them with it is the simple secret to success.   Mo asks Kara Goldin: What is the best way to deepen relationships with the people who matter to us? Deepening relationships stems from understanding what other people’s goals are and what you have in common with them. Before meetings, Kara doesn’t do much research because she wants to understand what’s important to them directly. People remember the surreal moments in their life. Unlikely shared experiences with someone are a great way to create a connection with them and develop an authentic relationship. You have to do the work and have a presentation ready, but if you can relate with the prospect and have a genuine conversation with them it can be even more persuasive. Building a relationship in unique ways is a simple way to set you apart. The first interaction is often awkward, but if you push through and break the ice, the next interaction can be seamless. To rekindle older relationships, engage them along the lines of something that you share. Just reaching out and making an offer to have them join you for an event or webinar is a great way to start off and almost no one does it. Asking why is a powerful tool to finding a solution to problems. Being in the pursuit of a solution can allow you to become a connector for other people. If you can be a bridge for other people, you become more valuable to them and they will often want to reciprocate.   Mo asks Kara Goldin: What is your habit when you get told no? Kara was a gymnast when she was growing up but she never really excelled at it. It was during those training sessions where she learned the discipline to always look for the good in the experience. Kara tells the story of how she lost Starbucks as a client for the Hint beverage company, a loss of 40% of her business in the span of two weeks. Despite the loss, having the product in Starbucks was the foundation of her opportunity to get into Amazon’s grocery business and led to Kara realizing that customer data is crucial. After being told by both Starbucks and Amazon that they weren’t going to share their customer data with her, Kara realized that she needed to focus on business development and start her own direct-to-consumer business. Seven years later, direct-to-consumer sales are now over 50% of the business. There were plenty of naysayers that said beverages can’t be sold over the mail but business has tripled since the beginning of the pandemic, which wouldn’t have happened had Kara listened to the people saying it couldn’t be done. Challenges and failures are the learnings that help you to do better in the long run. Great growth-oriented business developers take a setback and feel the pain, yet realize that there is something to learn from and opportunities can still come from it. When you get told no, it’s important to understand their why. Maybe that deal is not meant to be part of your journey but there is always something to learn from the experience and opportunity to find out more. Get all the info you can. A phone call about why you lost may not sound like a fun conversation but can be very enlightening. Be a resource to people that is a joy to be around. Resourcefulness is a crucial aspect of business development. Understanding the probabilities also helps give you perspective. If you are swinging for the fences and have a low probability of success and you know that, if it doesn’t work out it’s not going to be so disappointing.   Mo shares his insights from the habits of Kara Goldin. Think differently. Expose yourself to lots of different ways of thinking by going outside of your industry and learning from people who do things differently. Typically when you go to conferences with like-minded people who are doing the same things you are, you tend towards the average of those people. By exposing yourself to completely different industries, you open yourself up to incredible insights. If you share the same struggle but day-to-day work is very different, that’s where you can find some of your best ideas. This is the reason mastermind groups can be so powerful. If you aren't part of a group with diverse perspectives and experiences, either join one or create one. Create your own opportunities. The best opportunities are created before a client knows they have them. This goes back to the “move without the ball” concept from Mike Daimler. Average business developers wait until they receive an opportunity and then they react. Great business developers create their own opportunities by investing in the potential client and put themselves in a position where they are the natural choice. Offer your time upfront at no charge and dig into a client’s problem. Start helping them and end it at the point where you should get paid to do the real heavy lifting. A great give-to-get satisfies three criteria. It’s relatively easy for you, it should be valuable to the client, and it should lead to the next step. The number one correlation to success is to keep helping people. Great business developers are undaunted and keep reaching out and finding ways to help. They create connections and show that they care. Most people quit after one setback. Great business developers are undaunted, continue to be helpful, and are always adding value.     Mentioned in this Episode: GrowBIGPlaybook.com karagoldin.com - Get her book Undaunted

Regardless of ones station, there is little chance of making it through a lifetime without some amount of difficulty and pain. Acknowledging this fact is useful in potentially encouraging more plausible expectations and acceptance of the way things are. However, too often, this inextricable truth is misperceived and becomes an enabler for imposing needless suffering upon ourselves and others.

This has been a whirlwind. Sure, we’ve entered the space beyond 2020, but the ripple effects become more pronounced as time goes by. Some of us have found our balance again. But for others, the hard-knocks just keep coming.Before Covid, women were kickin’ ass and takin’ names. We were building successful businesses. We were helping to elevate one another by creating work infrastructures that made sense for the unique challenges we know all women face. We were on top of the world! Then...Then a pandemic threw everything off course. As tired as that’s made us, as much as we’d love to just throw in the towel, we know that we’re far too resilient for that. In today’s episode, Karlee reveals startling statistics about the productivity of women pre-covid, and how those spectacular gains have been lost as the pandemic continues to derail women, and particularly women of color, around the world. She points out the unique pressures women face juggling our work and home lives, and offers inspiration from past generations of women that’ll help you find the strength you need to keep going. She’ll also provide actionable ways that you can help women rise up again, thereby acknowledging your personal power to uplift. We know we’ll bounce back. But we also know that surviving the setbacks can be made a little easier when we’ve got each other's backs. The success of women depends on the success of women. We know how to use our power and resources to elevate others. We understand that when women are at the top, we look out for the long-term health and stability of our communities.As we ride these rough seas together, it’s important to remember our tribal roots: helping others is what gives us the nourishment we need. It allows us to acknowledge our power and remind us of our connectedness to community. If you’re ready to build back brighter, stronger, and become a pinnacle of support for women so they’re able to do the same, then this episode is for you!

For most of us in this industry, success means showing up a certain way, hitting your goals constantly, and reaching certain milestones in your business. That’s why we put on these masks, these versions of ourselves that we think we need to be in order to be successful. But this version of yourself won’t last forever. You will reach a breaking point. You will be exhausted and burnt out until you can't do it anymore and you will need to peel the mask off layer by layer and really figure out who you are.   And I’m here to tell you to give yourself permission to explore who you are and show up from that place. Because showing up as your true authentic self is how you’ll successfully create your desired reality.   In this episode: + Why it’s easy to get trapped in this idea of showing up a certain way to become successful + Acknowledging past versions of yourself and peeling off the layers to reveal your true self + How to be gentle to yourself in this relearning process    Get The Sacred Funnel Vault here: https://sacredfunnels.com/vault   Come hang out on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/thisistayrae/  Looking for something?

Nonprofit News for the week of May 4th, 2021 Democratic Nonprofit Sues Ahead of Potential Redistricting Fight Off the heels of a contentious and troublesome 2020 census, the next political fight shaping up with substantial impact might be redistricting. Acknowledging these tense political battles yet to come, a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit National Redistricting Action Fund, associated with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, is filing lawsuits in an attempt to make the results of any political impasses fair. While the specifics of the case or complex, nonprofits and advocacy groups should know that redistricting can significantly impact both national and local politics for a decade. Redistricting alone could mean the difference between a Democrat and GOP - controlled House of Representatives, according to experts. The politics of redistricting are such that in most cases, states themselves decide who ends up in a particular district, actively franchising and disenfranchising communities in the process.

The decrease in efficacy of door-to-door selling and other more commercial fundraisers should be a warning to nonprofits that so heavily rely on typically in-person fundraisers, especially during the pandemic.
