Nina has been studying mindfulness for over 20 years and practicing meditation for over a decade. She joins us to day to discuss the book, Let that Sh*t Go: Find Peace of Mind and Happiness in your Everyday, which she co-authored with Kate Petriw.After experiencing a devastating tragedy, Nina embarked on a journey to find answers and sought solace in mindfulness practices. Despite initially following a traditional path and obtaining a business degree, Nina eventually reached a breaking point with the stress of corporate life. In search of change, she took a year-long sabbatical, living in an ashram or monastery and disconnecting from the outside world. Upon returning, Nina realized the incredible potential of sharing ancient wisdom with those struggling with anxiety, stress, and depression. In 2011, when mindfulness and meditation were not widely discussed, she re-entered the corporate world and later started her own business, Pure Minds. Through corporate workshops and community sessions, Nina teaches individuals how to let go of negative emotions and self-limiting beliefs.

Have you been feeling like your life is on auto-pilot? Then consider this conversation a stop sign. Or if you've ever struggled with FOMO, then be sure to listen to this episode as Dr. Brad Elphinstone shares how his brain surgery at the age of 18 helped him appreciate the risks we all face of feeling like we missed out on our own lives. Based in Melbourne, Dr. Brad Elphinstone shares his insights that will help you better understand how varied our interpretation of human experiences can be no matter how common they are. Our discussion today focuses on three main topics – self-determination, equanimity, and non-attachment, which all can have life-long implications that will allow you to stop living on auto-pilot and never miss out on the things that truly matter to you.

It will help you boost your courage in 7 days' time. If you currently find yourself in a rut then take the plunge. I've paired up some of my best podcast episodes with personal development tools to help you reflect on your intrinsic ambitions. You have the personal autonomy necessary to change your life! Share this with someone who could use more self-compassion. Whilst many of us are portraying an Instagram life, the reality is that a lot of us have similar insecurities that may have surfaced, particularly during this pandemic. About Dr. Brad Elphinstone Dr. Brad Elphinstone is a lecturer in Psychology at the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. Since 2018, his research has focused on mindfulness and related concepts such as nonattachment and equanimity. This research fits within and extends on the rapidly growing psychological literature on mindfulness, showing that being able to ‘let go' and maintain a balanced approach to all things in life – whether good or bad – is an important part of being adaptable, and supports the psychological conditions needed for optimal motivation and wellbeing. Highlights Creativity: Applying the notion of equanimity to your life, be creative and think beyond possible reasons for someone's actions or words. What else might that person be grappling with? Could there be other ways of looking at a particular statement that was said to you? Curiosity: Bringing in the concept of non-attachment, be curious about your intentions. Are you just being driven by your ego in pursuit of some end goal? What happens if you don't meet an end goal? How might you define success in another way? Courage: By becoming more mindful, you will feel more secure about yourself. But it requires bravery to be vulnerable enough to confront your insecurities. Self-determination: This theory suggests there are three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness with others. When these are satisfied, we feel motivated and we're at an optimal level of well-being. Autonomy: Autonomy means having a certain level of freedom. But living in civilization, we can't always be free to do whatever we want whenever we feel like it. There are rules, laws, and social norms that dictate civil behavior. Relatedness: We've lost that freedom that provides autonomy because we were stuck at home in front of computers all the time. Nature: People just across the board have really been struggling. But there's research showing that being out in nature helps people score higher on these three basic needs. Aspire: Focus more on intrinsic aspirations, self-acceptance, and what you think is important, rather than getting caught up with extrinsic aspirations and the materialistic stuff such as image, wealth status. Internal shift: We can help support autonomy, competence, and relatedness just by shifting what you choose to focus on and why you choose to focus on it. Harm: Social media is notorious and part of the problem, especially with young people. There's a big increase in hospitalizations for self-harm and suicide attempts that correspond with this increase in social media use, partly out of the insecurity it can create. Insecurity: People are cultivating this ideal life that they're projecting through social media, and people look at it and think they're missing out or something is wrong with them. Social connection: Get yourself embedded in a community, a family, a group of friends, or whatever feels right for you. Freedom: There's no one way to say to someone what you have to do to be more autonomous. But that general principle of autonomy is that at the surface level, it's about having freedom of choice. Authenticity: You might think you have to do something because other people will approve of you more if you do it. But if it doesn't speak to you, just get rid of it. Motivation: The deeper level of autonomy is trying to find meaning in things. At one end of the spectrum, there's motivation, where there's nothing driving what you're doing. The other end is intrinsic motivation, where things are just inherently motivating. Meditation: Meditation is a microcosm for this ever-changing, uncontrollable flow of life. When you're meditating, your mind could wander off and you think about work or what needs to be done. But don't judge yourself negatively for it or criticize yourself. Non-attachment: This is a related skill where you're not trying to cling to or push away any aspect of your experience. That could be ideas, memories, objects, relationships. And you're not putting an undue level of emotional weight onto anything. Insecurity: People who are more mindful and more non-attached are less materialistic because the they are less insecure. Insecurity is it's low self-esteem. It's the fear of missing out and judging yourself negatively. Detachment: If you're not clinging on to certain goals and you're not aspiring to certain things, then what's the point of doing anything? Then you get into that nihilistic abyss of nothing matters and nothing's important. This is a fine line to walk. Suffering: The Buddhist theory suggeststs that attachments lead to suffering, when what we want fails to align with what actually happens. Failure: When you're non-attached, failure is not a bad thing. It doesn't mean you're giving up or that nothing matters. It's just that you don't have to cling so tightly to a particular outcome that it becomes the only thing that matters. Equanimity: It's a balanced reaction to anything that happens, whether it's positive, negative, or neutral. Equanimity is measured in terms of experiential acceptance. Mindfulness: Everyone has the capacity to be mindful. Different people just require more training than others. The first step is to just be in the present moment.

He joined Smart Passive Income in December 2020 after SPI acquired his private community and virtual accelerator, Unreal Collective. You will notice it sounds different from all of my other episodes. Notes: Commitment: “You don't need to be uniquely talented or creative to make a living as a creator. But you need to be committed." "A creator makes an asset for the purpose of being consumed and creating value for both the consumer and the creator.” -- Leaders need to be creators -- They create/build culture. They need to be effective communicators, writers, they need to create a vision and inspire people… The WHY: “I created Creative Elements to bridge the gap between art and business by talking to high-profile creators about the nitty-gritty of building their creative career.” Community - “A group of people with commonality – shared interests, values, or beliefs.” -- Community traces back to the late 14th century, with both French and Latin roots. “Community” was used to describe “a number of people associated together by the fact of residence in the same locality” as well as “the common people." Sales -- "Sales is a scorecard for storytelling." Culture - “Culture is the sum of behaviors you tolerate and reward over time.” Patience & Commitment - “The effort of earning an independent income, regardless of path, takes a lot of patience and commitment. Those words aren't sexy and they aren't fast. But they are reliable.” In 2019, Jay produced a feature-length documentary called Test City, USA about the growing startup ecosystem in Columbus, Ohio. A+ work - A Power law. The #2 result gets half as much as the #1 result. When creating something, shoot for A+ quality work. The test: When someone sees it, they can't help but comment on it, share it, and tell their friends. You want to start a podcast? Why are you doing this? What's the format? How can you market it? Audio needs to sound great The Juice = feedback from listeners that your show has helped them. Authenticity - You need to feel aligned and comfortable with your voice on air. Wabi-sabi is the view or thought of finding beauty in every aspect of imperfection in nature. It is about the aesthetic of things in existence, that are “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete” Life/Career advice: It takes time to forge your own path Get in touch with what you want Trial and error - view it as a series of experiments Get your WHO right

I grew up being guilt-leveraged (shame based parenting, teaching etc.) and most everything I did seemed like it was a sin according to the adults in my life. What if focusing on the sin is dysfunctional and not productive? For every sin there is a cause. You address the cause you stop the sin. Seems to make more sense.

Ep. 2 Democracy is not an individual sport, it's a team game. The first people you need to get on-board for a winning campaign is a team of people willing to work for you. For many entry level campaigns, that core team may not be more than one or two people. And, while it may help to have those who have political experience, you need workhorses over show horses. You don't need strategists, you need people who will do the tasks to organize volunteers, to plan coffees and events, to get bodies out for visibilities and more. We talk with former Councilor Mike Ward on his team that helped him beat a longtime incumbent. Also, City Councilor Yuki Cohen talks about her process in building the "brand" of her candidacy, which was incredibly effective because it was built on reflecting her own persona, her own energy and kindness as a candidate. Authenticity: You've got to have it. And then we break down some of the basics of photography, design and other components of the palm card, which will accompany you when you go knock, knock, knockin' on doors. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
