Dr. Dan speaks to Allison Carmen, a Maria Shriver "Architect of Change," Uncertainty Expert, and creator of The Maybe Mindset — a concept that is in Oprah's New Dictionary of Enlightenment. Allison teaches us how embracing uncertainty can be our greatest ally. By living in Maybe, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. This powerful mindset helps us break free from the stress of needing to know what's next and invites us to believe in the potential of the unknown. In this episode, Dr. Dan and Allison dive into The Maybe Mindset and explore how it can transform our lives. They discuss how uncertainty, when welcomed, leads to less fear and more joy. Instead of chasing certainty, we can choose to live in the freedom of "Maybe" — creating room for growth, happiness, and success. Listeners will discover how Maybe can change everything – because Maybe the best is yet to come! Allison Carmen is a TEDx Speaker, host of the 10 Minutes to Less Suffering podcast, and author of The Gift of Maybe: Offering Hope and Possibility in Uncertain Times and other books.

In the first half, Italo-American photojournalist and investigative reporter Paola Harris discussed UFO/UAP phenomena and disclosure, as well as many of the legendary UFO researchers and contactees she has interviewed and befriended over the years. She spoke about the 1945 Trinity UFO crash case (which she and Jacques Vallee wrote a book about) and noted that some new information has become available, along with renewed interest in that time period associated with the movie "Oppenheimer," and how alien contact has sometimes been associated with humankind's use of nuclear weapons.Regarding the recent whistleblowers coming forward about UFOs, she commented that it's a bit of a distraction since whistleblower testimony from the likes of Col. Philip Corso, Clifford Stone, and the witnesses that Steven Greer set up in a Citizen Hearing on Disclosure has been out there for many years now. Harris recalled her conversations with the late Paul Hellyer, the former defense minister of Canada, and how he believed that recovered technology from UFO crashes could be used to solve various world problems related to ecology, medicine, and hunger. She mentioned her trip to the Andes in Peru to study the fascinating contactee case of Ricardo Gonzalez, who said he met time-traveling space aliens who warned of an impending earthquake in the mountains (that ended up occurring). Harris also announced one of her latest projects-- a special youth conference on UFOs for kids aged 13-18 in Longmont, CO, in June.--------------Author, podcaster, and attorney Allison Carmen battled with being a "certainty addict" and suffered the pull of despair and hopelessness that uncertainty can bring. In the latter half, she revealed how embracing the 'maybe' mindset liberates us to live in the present moment and nurture hope and possibility even in challenging circumstances. She shared her personal struggle with uncertainty and fear of the unknown, which led to anxiety and stress in her life and career. Despite efforts to control the outer world, she came to the realization that the secret to happiness and inner peace was in accepting not knowing what would happen next-- where all possibilities are open.She views stress as resisting whatever is happening in the moment, and anxiety as resisting the future. One can use the 'maybe' technique if they have a negative thought about their future, such as, 'I'm never going to have enough money.' You simply tell yourself, "Maybe that's not true." And suddenly, your stress and worry calms down, and you can be in the present moment, she said. "If you want your life to change, it has to happen in the unknown," as uncertainty can be freeing and open to many outcomes. "It's just kind of allowing yourself to look at everything. You can look at a bird in the sky, or you could look at the whole sky," she added. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/georgenoory/message

We are living in an unprecedented era of uncertainty, anxiety, and stress. A recent study from the American Psychological Association (APA) reveals that nearly 76% of adults now admit to experiencing stress due to the overwhelming uncertainty that plagues our nation. Moreover, 62% express disbelief in the idea that "our children are going to inherit a better world than we did." Is it possible, amidst this turmoil, to transform uncertainty into an asset and reshape our outlook, even during these turbulent times? This is where the eagerly awaited audiobook, THE GIFT OF MAYBE: Finding Hope and Possibility in Uncertain Times by Allison Carmen (Tantor Media; Narrated by Kim Niemi; Release Date: November 21, 2023; Duration: 5 hrs.), holds the potential to truly impact people's lives for the better. In THE GIFT OF MAYBE audiobook, Allison Carmen, a distinguished CFO, author, podcaster, and attorney, escorts us away from the ceaseless cycles of stress and anxiety that stem from our apprehensions about the future – whether related to our careers, relationships, finances, or the state of the world. Allison, who has herself battled with being a "certainty addict" and intimately understands the pull of despair and hopelessness that uncertainty can bring, provides a clear roadmap for embracing the 'Maybe' mindset. This shift liberates us to live in the present moment and nurture hope and possibility even in challenging circumstances. Allison vividly illustrations this transition in her two widely shared Daily Beast articles: 1) Life After Ken: When Barbie's Dreamhouse Becomes a Clubhouse and 2) Watching ‘Gilmore Girls' Reruns Is Not the Secret of Life (EMBRACE THE UNKNOWN). Both essays reveal the practical applications of 'Maybe' in today's world, particularly in coping with the anxiety and stress from daily and global uncertainty, an issue that disproportionately affects women. The audiobook release of THE GIFT OF MAYBE could not be timelier. Within its compelling narrative, Allison Carmen teaches us that our fear of uncertainty need not chain us to a life consumed by fear and despair. Rather, it offers a pathway to hope. This audiobook is set to amass a devoted following because it teaches us how to: • Embrace uncertainty as a source of hope instead of stress and worry. • Cultivate gratitude even when facing unpredictable challenges. • Accept the wisdom hidden within challenging and perplexing experiences. • Discover joy and possibilities, even in the face of adversity. • Overcome self-doubt and embark on a journey towards a more authentic and creative life. In an interview, Allison can delve into her personal experiences, including the sudden end of her decades-long marriage, her profound encounter with the spiritual concept of 'Maybe' as featured on Oprah.com, and her highly acclaimed "10 Minutes to Less Suffering" podcast, ranked as the #1 Best Stress Podcast. Allison Carmen is the guiding light that our world needs today, offering guidance through job loss, health crises, and financial difficulties. Through THE GIFT OF MAYBE she imparts the invaluable lesson that uncertainty can spark hope. The audiobook, narrated with power and conviction by Kim Niemi, will undoubtedly resonate with both listeners and readers. @theliberatedhealer Learn more about your ad choices.
