This week, we continue our conversation on mental health and the various reasons why law students don't get the help they need. My guest is Amy Levin—someone who not only understands the legal profession, but has also spent much time in studying the social and psychiatric components of mental well-being. Amy has a new paper out soon entitled The Kid Aren't Alright, where she emphatically admonishes students to normalize seeking help. In our discussion, we focus on common stressors, which students struggle the most, why other professions seem to be doing better, and what are the various ways that law students can improve their own mental health. Amy is clinical professor of law at Loyola Marymount University. She is a graduate of the UCLA School of Law, Program in Public Interest Law and Policy, and the Department of Social Welfare, where she was an editor on the UCLA Law Review and earned membership in Order of the Coif. Amy also clerked for the Honorable Richard A. Paez of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Faculty bio. Cross & Gavel is a production of CHRISTIAN LEGAL SOCIETY. The episode was produced by Josh Deng, with music from Vexento. NOTE: In an effort to help normalize the conversation surrounding mental health, CLS launched the Wellness Program as part of Law Student Ministries. We hope to provide you not only training and support, but also forums where these topics can be discussed and destigmatized. Our first three conversations can be found here (w/ Dr. Tina Armstrong on healthy leadership), here (w/ Ruth Haley Barton on daily rhythms), and here (w/ Dr. Barbara L. Peacock on soul care).
Today, I have two very special guests who are quite frankly, soul sisters to me. You've got to appreciate life's little miracles and how the universe puts people in your path, and you just know the moment that you meet them, they are meant to make a profound and lasting difference in your life. And for me, that is these two ladies who are here with us today on the show, Amy Levin and Amanda Sanders. Amanda was a 10 time entrepreneur, and has consulted with some of the top organizations in the world. And Amy started off as an open heart nurse, and even went on to help build and develop some surgery centers in Indiana, becoming number one in the state. And then in 2018, they connected and they formed Authentic CEO. In this interview with Amanda and Amy, you'll discover: -The Authentic CEO backstory...02:30 -The role of consciousness in business...06:50 -Embracing trivial roles in life that keep us small..09:30 -Two forms of resistance...14:45 -The role of the brain of getting into the flow state...18:45 -Wonder defined, and why it's integral to our success in life and business...26:22 -How to connect with Authentic CEO...30:30 -And much more... Resources mentioned: https://my.captivate.fm/dashboard/podcast/authentic.ceo (Authentic CEO) https://movies.disney.com/soul (Soul Movie) authentic@authentic.ceo About the guests: Authentic CEO has cracked the code to activating expansive human potential. Their Growth Catalyst Power Tools are a groundbreaking fusion of quantum physics, neuroscience, business strategy and consciousness. Whether working with an entrepreneur, corporate executive, investor, elite performer, or dreamer, Authentic CEO's tools and techniques can completely transform their business, their investments, their relationships, their finances, and their happiness and wellbeing. In 2018, Amanda Sanders and Amy Levin joined forces to create Authentic CEO. They each had an undeniable calling to bring consciousness into business to change the world from the workplace outwards. With their shared scientific understanding and experiences of what is often called 'consciousness', they began working with corporate executives, teams and startups developing applied tools and techniques that can be leveraged at work (and beyond). The results were extraordinary and the tools grew into the catalog of programs that Authentic CEO offers today. Amanda, a former tech CEO, entrepreneur, and consultant for Fortune 500 companies brings into Authentic CEO her business strategy, tech and high-growth startup expertise in addition to studying quantum physics for 2+ decades as a hobby. Amy left behind a 20+ yr career in the medical, health and wellness space to found Authentic CEO. With many years spent on an emergency trauma team and on an open heart surgical team, Amy brings into Authentic CEO the insight of high-functioning teams and operating under pressure. Together, their combined perspectives cover the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic bodies of people as well as the culture, brand , financials, teams, and leaders of companies.

At the age of 28, Russell took a life-changing trip to Koh Samui, Thailand. After years of working in the fast food industry, he had developed skin problems and was searching for a solution. In his research, Russell read about the powers of fasting and the spas in Thailand that offered these healing retreats. It was during this time that Russell discovered raw foods. Russell’s passion was ignited by vibrant meals he was able to create with raw food. Not only were these dishes creative and flavorful, the health benefits were amazing. This excitement led Russell to start a blog about his raw food journey. Others became interested in Russell’s natural talent and began to take notice of this up-and-coming raw chef. Teaching local classes, he began drawing students from all over Europe and the US. His drive was to make raw food accessible every day. Whether it was raw sandwiches or show-stopping dinner parties, your meals could be amazingly healthy. Today, Russell has had the pleasure of teaching raw food to thousands of people worldwide through his podcasts, eBooks, live classes and online courses. Russell now runs Eat Like An Adult (eatlikeanadult.com) and Being Whole (beingwholenow.com), of which The Raw Chef (https://therawchef.com/) is part of. Russell grew up eating home-cooked meals such as Spaghetti Bolognese, Sunday roasts and curries His dad (a part-time firefighter and painter and decorator) took over the family meals as his mum was working (as a driving instructor) Allowed to eat what he wanted, including sugary treats His mum intuitively knew that she didn’t want an over-reliance on meat As a child, he didn’t have much interest in cooking Russell worked at Burger King and ate fast food daily whilst at that job, he suffered with acne at that time At arts school, his interest in creating things waned He went into middle management at Tesco’s, not knowing how he got there in his mid-20s and realised it wasn’t where he wanted to be Russell then became a driving instructor as his Stepdad owned a driving school and his mum was a driving instructor He realised that he wanted a flexible job and to be self-employed Fasting and juicing had a big impact on his skin health He realised he had an outlet for creativity around food Russell started creating recipes, shooting photography and becoming a food blogger Several participants on a documentary about juice fasting in Thailand mentioned clearer skin, and Russell travelled to the same retreat centre.

Our guests on Brew Ha Ha this week talk about how the people of Sonoma County have rallied to help each other through the fires and their aftermath. Please consider making a donation to the Red Cross which has done so much to help Sonoma County again this year. Amy Levin of St. Florian's Brewery is our guest on Brew Ha Ha this week with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras, while Mark Carpenter is still traveling. St. Florian is the patron saint of firefighters. Amy's husband Aron is a firefighter and they are the owners of St. Florian's Brewery. Also in the studio today is Natalie Cilurzo from Russian River Brewing Co. St. Florian's Brewery and Russian River Brewing Co. are neighbors in Windsor. The Levins founded the brewery about seven years ago and they have always donated 5% of their profits to fire-related and community-based organizations. There are a lot of news crews in the area covering the fires and many of them are hanging out at Russian River Brewing in Windsor. Once the evacuations were lifted, they needed a day to clean up the place. This has been a rough week in Sonoma County. The first beer they make after they get back up and running will be a special edition of Sonoma Pride beer. They won't be licensing it as they did in 2017. This beer will be bottled and available at their two breweries. From that they will make a large donation to a charity that Amy and Aron will help them choose. Amy expresses gratitude for the family of first responders. There is some damage to St. Florian's Brewery and Amy has been working on it herself, since her husband Aron is still busy fighting fires, so Natalie offers some workers from her brewery to help Amy's. Russian River has a generator so they had their own power and did not lose any beer.
Confidence is not something that Amy Levin is lacking. “No,” Amy says with a laugh, in response to whether or not her age or gender was ever an issue in the success of her business. Starting her company, College Fashionista, while actually still in college, Amy faced a unique set of challenges. Things such as managing work/school/life balance, and meetings with investors and business owners much older than she, would have been enough to intimidate any fresh-faced, young entrepreneur. But it never threw Amy off her game. Owing much of her unshakeable disposition to her parents, Amy never doubted that she has what it takes to take College Fashionista wherever she wanted it to go. While she always had faith in the success of her company, Amy, like any entrepreneur, did face challenges along the way. While she had a strong business and financial background, tech was not her strong suit, and she saw to it early on that she had a diverse board of advisors in place for when, inevitably, questions would arise that required a different perspective. Big Ideas - The value of self confidence, and how cultivating that mitigates feelings of inadequacy when faced with potentially difficult situations. [02:20] - The importance of flexibility. If you have a plan and it isn’t going the way you’d hoped, be open to adapting that plan. [22:21] - Surrounding yourself with a diverse group of background, age, experience, etc., will help you to overcome a greater range of challenges, because you will have a greater range of perspective.

Spirit of 608: Fashion, Entrepreneurship, Sustainability + Tech
Kicking off the fall season of the Spirit of 608 podcast, this week's episode features a badass female entrepreneur who built what has become the go-to Gen Y resource for aspiring fashion industry pros. Starting when she was barely out of college herself, this media innovator has spent the better part of the last decade growing an audience and network of contributors that now reaches over 1,000 universities and includes 20,000 contributors worldwide. Acquired by Who What Wear parent company Clique Media in 2016, College Fashionista exemplifies modern-day, mission-based entrepreneurship and bootstrapped success. If you're building your own business from the ground up, this is one woman in business who's sure to inspire you and show you that, yes, you can make it happen. Meet this week's guest, Amy Levin Klein, Founder of College Fashionista. What you'll learn When you’re fresh out of college and starting out with dreams of a career in the fashion industry, it can be challenging and daunting to figure out what to do - especially if you're coming from a school or town outside the traditional fashion cities like New York or Los Angeles. Amy felt exactly that - but she didn't let it deter her. Instead, she started College Fashionista and single-handedly built a brand that helps the next generation of fashion leaders. Learn how she did it in this week’s episode. How you'll be inspired While today’s work culture tends to applaud employees and even entrepreneurs who jump around from one company to the next, Amy has a lot to say about the advantages of being professionally monogamous. While startup culture has left many of us feeling like a couple years is a long time to be in one place, Amy counters with a reality so many of us growing businesses know all too well: that building something takes time to see real growth. Hear more that will inspire you to stick with it the next time you're frustrated at your seemingly slow pace on the show. What you'll tell your friends Hey! Do you know the best way to connect with college students so they'll know more about your brand? What are students today even interested in anyway? What motivates them and when is the best time to catch their attention? I heard College Fashionista founder Amy Levin Klein talk about just that on the Spirit of 608 podcast this week - listen to the show to hear her talk about that, as well as an Instagram tip you're going to want to start using immediately.
