Nothing in the world can make you any more whole than you already are. That's the single insight that set Anna Debenham on her journey working with people in prison.Anna is the founder of Insight Alliance, an organisation that helps incarcerated individuals turn their lives around. Anna's realisation led her to stop putting her worth and value on anything outside of herself and to follow her intuition.Anna's story shows us that we don't always have to pay attention to our feelings. By following our intuition and being in tune with our bodies, we can gain valuable insights that can guide us towards success. And by understanding our own minds and finding a feeling of peace within ourselves, we can navigate difficult situations with grace and resilience.Things to considerWe experience various feelings throughout the day, which are just sensations in our body. But we can interpret them in many ways and assign meaning.Recognising that we are not our thoughts and are not obliged to believe everything we think opens up enormous potential.And the other thing that she shared, But we don't have to believe everything we think about ourselves. So if you are sitting there thinking, well, I could never blah, blah, blah, or this is just not possible for me, do you really have to believe that thought? and if you didn't, what potential might get released in you? What ideas might be sparked in you? What could happen as a result?LinksThree PrinciplesThe Insight AllianceEverything we need to thrive already exists within us – TEDx Portland
Anna is the founder of The Insight Alliance, an organization that works with adults and youth in prison and on parole by pointing them to their innate resilience and wellbeing. Her realization of not needing to follow a certain plan, but instead listen to her inner inclinations and do the next thing that shows up in front of her, opened the door to the freedom to create this amazing organization.
Jessica’s story is deeply inspirational. Hers is a story of intense trauma to a diagnosis of dissociative personality disorder to being told nothing can be done for her to prison to lasting transformation. Now Jessica’s life is purposely focused on helping others to transform their lives. Jessica Rogers-Hall was born and raised in Texas. The second eldest of 8 children, a family with a long history of alcoholism, drug abuse, and violent acts. Married 5 times and a 20-year addict to drugs, she found herself in prison for racketeering. A year and a half into her 5-year sentence, she found the Three Principles and her freedom even though she was locked away in prison. She’s living life for the first time ever and so grateful to have her peace of mind. Just 10 months out of prison she works with Anna Debenham and the Insight Alliance where she helps our youth understand they already have everything in them to be whole and healthy.
Today I’m joined in conversation by Anna Debenham, Brooke Wheeldon-Reece and Eirik Olsen. These three individuals are all part of the IOS collective, a group with a mission to create individual, community and systemic change through an understanding of the mind. Anna, Brooke and Eirik share examples of how impactful an understanding of the mind can be, for themselves and their clients, and illustrate how this understanding has the power to transform the world.

Anna Debenham walks us through her entrepreneurial journey, from her attendance at One Thought Institute in London, to working with prison inmates in Portland, Oregon. In our conversation, Anna shares a profound insight that finally helped her stop taking things personally and allowed her to follow her inspiration. “ There is nothing I can do in the world that makes me more whole than I already am.” Anna reveals why getting out of your head, relinquishing control, and stepping into the unknown is the best thing you can do for yourself and your business.

At the Columbia River Correctional Institution in Portland, Oregon, USA, Dave and Anna - previous guest, Episode # 49 - interview three Adults in Custody who have found their "insights" through Anna's program. The Insight Alliance's philosophy is that we need to live from the inside/out, not the outside/in, that our very thinking determines our environment. Only then can real transformation occur. Eve (no last names), a transgender female, came to the realization that everything will be OK, no matter what. When Eve stop letting others' judgement become her judgement, life became settled and happier. Eve also learned from Anna not to worry so much about negative thoughts, that all thoughts come and go and they pass on their own. Angel has been in and out of prison many times; even served time with Dave! His turning point came in an accountability session, where he was called out by fellow AICs. Through his raging thought came his ah-ha moment, where he understood that THOUGHT created his experience of life not the world around him. He sees that but for this thinking he's OK. Damian is a veteran with PTSD and a retired paramedic. He should be used to dealing with high-stress situations, right? Well, he didn't in one situation and it landed him in prison. When he came to the realization that he created his own misery and understood the power of his thoughts, his mental pain started to subside. Or as Earl Nightengale said, "We become what we think about."

Anna Debenham is the founder of the Insight Alliance, an organization that works with men and women in prison and in the community sharing two simple, but profoundly life-changing ideas: We have everything we need inside ourselves to lead a good life Our experience of life is being created moment to moment from the insight out by our thoughts. At the heart of much of our suffering is our experience of life as something that is happening to us, rather than moving through us. As Anna puts it “We are feeling our thinking, not feeling the world around us.” Our minds create a virtual reality of the world that is so convincing that we usually can’t tell the difference between the world and the world as experienced through our thoughts. And it’s that world as experienced through thoughts that we become beholden to and, in that, lose the freedom to choose our path.
She only spent one night in prison, but Anna Debenham struggled with addiction and enough angst in her quest for peace of mind, that she related with those incarcerated and wanted to help. Therapy and volunteer work put her on the path of helping those in prison face and overcome their anger and get started living a life of happiness and control. She has had two very successful programs at Columbia River Institute and Coffee Creek, both located in Oregon.

Recording this podcast really made an impact on us. It's the story of a teenager that had her life and reality turned upside down, when she met Anna Debenham from Insight Alliance. She was told she had Biologic Depression and needed to be on a cocktail of medicines, with no hope for any change occurring. But as soon as she sat down and heard about the fact that she is not broken, and that it was just her mind playing tricks on her, everything changed. We're not going to spoil it any further, and just invite you to listen for yourself. About The Insight Alliance:One Solution co-founded a Collective with the Insight Alliance and The Spark Initiative, to join forces in our quest to look at the mind and our innate resilience as the route to change. The Insight Alliance focuses Primarily on work in prisons.The Insight Alliance uncovers the natural resilience and innate mental health all human beings already have inside them. It teaches a simple understanding of how our feelings, experience and state of mind works; an understanding that enables people to thrive in any circumstances. Prospective outcomes of programs include a decrease in stress and depression; improved relationships, increased feelings of connection and trust, reduced levels of obsessive and judgmental thinking; increased desire to access education/jobs; a decrease in the probability of recidivism and/ or relapse and generally feeling more of their natural wellbeing.
We all hope to change the world in a positive way but some of us end up feeling hopeless, frustrated or ineffective. Join host Jeanne Catherine and her guest Anna Debenham, who arrived in Portland OR in Spring 2016 with no connections to prison, or to the criminal justice system or any clue how to start a non-profit. She did have one thing - an understanding of the mind. Through this understanding, Anna began teaching in prisons, created a research project and built her own organization from scratch. Join Anna - a McVety Grant Recipient - to learn how a normal person finds success! Anna Debenham Bio: Between 2009 and 2016 Anna built a successful business coaching practice in the UK, but her past addictions and her ongoing search for inner peace led her to discover the 3 principles and a program at the One Thought Institute in London. While at One Thought Anna had the opportunity to share this understanding with inmates at HMP Onley with Beyond Recovery. She found her passion. Moving back to Portland in 2016, Anna brought her work to prisons in Oregon and The Insight Alliance was born. Anna has worked in many different countries, industries, and environments. Her work supports a more peaceful and balanced state of mind and reflects her own expanding appreciation of the infinite possibilities of life.
The rebels for peace are back in the studio - and this conversation is REAL. Dajohn and Reakwon share openly about their past, how it was growing up in Chicago, and the challenges that face the city they love so much. We asked them to hold nothing back, and got a great combination of the reality of the street and a hope for a new future. Here are some of the thing you will hear about in the podcast.You will hear how it was growing up Chicago, and how youth deal with that. How the taking guns off the street will NOT solve the problem of violence. What it takes to impact millions of peopleHow totally ending all types of violence might not be possible, but EVERYONE can do something to decrease it. Why looking at the MIND is the true gamechanger in changing communities How the Rebels are inspired to make the change that THEY want to do, without the agenda of schools, organizations or other adults. Hear them talk about a video-exchange the rebels had with incarcerated inmates in Portland that Anna Debenham(previous podcast) was leading - and what impacted them about learning from people who had seen first hand both going to prison, and finding a new path after prison.

This podcast we have Anna Debenham, founder of the Insight Alliance with us - and this conversation will totally inspire you and give you hope for humanity and peoples potential to change!Anna works with the incarcerated or previously incarcerated to help them with their current situation and find a new better future. She does that in a new and sustainable way: By looking at the mind. In a very human, common sense way she helps facilitate the unlocking of peoples minds and point towards the resilience within them. The result is they increase their wellbeing, mental health, and make different choices either while still in prison or when they get out. She explains that the only thing that truly can make somebody change is an internal shift - and that is what all her work is about. To check out more from what she is talking about, check out this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv7lMMdBCYE In this podcast you will hear stories about her own journey of doing this work, aswell as examples from her students in prison.

The depth and breadth of my experience ranges from being part of a multi-disciplinary healing and support team for at-risk boys at the London organization, StreetWise Youth; establishing an outpatient program for a drug and alcohol recovery centre in Melbourne, Australia; to working as a coach and facilitator for Westminster council in London. My career shifted when I came across this groundbreaking way of helping people understand the principles behind our state of mind. My experience working in a UK prison with Beyond Recovery ignited a love of helping those incarcerated and those transitioning to their freedom. Now I bring all my experience together as Director of The Insight Alliance. The Insight Alliance is partnered with the YWCA as we expand to Coffee Creek woman’s prison and SCI in Salem. The programs continue to grow by word of mouth and by post-release individuals that stay connected to and work with the Alliance. The organic evolution of The Insight Alliance demonstrates the boundless potential and creative possibility of inspired people, and the wonderful power of fresh thought.

This week is the one-hundredth episode of Unfinished Business and who better to join me than the person who helped me start it all, almost two years ago, Anna Debenham. We celebrate by talking about what went right and wrong in 2014 and our resolutions for 2015. Then we talk about meetings and how we can improve them.
Style guides, once the exclusive domain of print designers, are finding their way onto the web. Built out of HTML and CSS, such style guides are handy tools for the design process, for maintaining sites over time, and for making collaboration across teams much easier. Anna Debenham joins Jen Simmons to explain.
