Welcome to SEX ED FOR YOU with Lauren & Holland: Where Research Meets Reality! On our fourth episode, Lauren and I lean heavily into the reality aspect of this podcast. The day we recorded this episode was the day we launched this podcast, and boy were we exhausted!  Not only were we overwhelmed with the details of launching, but we both were facing hardships in our personal lives as well. We discuss the aftermath of a triggering event, the therapeutic effect, and being torn between emotions and logic.  Like Lauren's shirt? Us too. Buy it here on our website!

Welcome to Sex Ed For You: Where Research Meets Reality. The theme of episode 3 is communication; the main idea-- who are you, what do you want, where have you been, and where do you want to go? Lauren and I briefly discuss substance use and how it can effect partnership and compatibility. We agree that substance use and abuse are one of the most important things to discuss when considering partnership with someone! For information on codependency, we recommend: Codependent No More by Melody Beattie. We also talk about how Lauren and I react when digesting information or difficult conversations. Typically, people will deeply desire one of three things: solitude, silence, or stillness. This conversation leads us to consider what it's like dating though a trauma-informed lens, as some people struggle to understand another's inherent need for one of those three things: solitude, silence, and stillness. Then, H gives Lauren and the audience 20 questions to ask a potential partner. Here's the link to download that list for free (valid until Nov 1)! We also discuss what it looks like to shift your perspective on dating for fulfillment and dating to add to an already joyful and fulfilled life: a life where you love yourself enough to not depend on the love of another. Lastly, Lauren and I lament the feeling of being "too much" for people, both romantically and platonically. Lauren shares that her partner and husband, Trey, is the first to truly affirm her "too much-ness." For more information on doing power differently, we recommend Cassandra Speaks by Elizabeth Lesser.

As we explore the path to self-discovery, how does hustle culture impact our ability to truly connect with our passions and purpose? What self-reflection exercises or practices can help you, our listeners, navigate your journey of self-discovery? In this episode of the Healthcare Hacks and Connections (HHC), Nate Navas welcomes guest Jess Serdikoff. Jess Serdikoff is a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified intuitive eating counselor who specializes in empowering dietitians to break free from hustle culture and overcome burnout. Drawing from her own experiences and observing common struggles among fellow dietitians, she aims to help them build confidence, reconnect with their passions, and find fulfillment in their careers. Through her unique supervision program and the Empowering Dietitians Podcast, she offers support and inspiration to her colleagues on their journey to making a bigger impact in their communities. In this episode, Jess discusses her personal experience with burnout and the hustle culture. She shares how she initially didn't realize the impact of this culture and how it was reinforced by society. Jess talks about her perfectionism and work ethic being praised, which led to her regularly experiencing burnout. She also mentions how the culture of the dietetics profession further reinforced this mentality. This episode provides valuable insights into recognizing and breaking away from the hustle culture. They will touch on such topics as:Burnout and Hustle Culture: Jess' personal experience with burnout and hustle culture and the quarter-life crisis in her 20s.Challenging systemic issues and escaping the fast-paced world: Overcoming perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies and the importance of being open about your journey.Pay attention to the trends in business: The importance of understanding your customer's values and finding your core values.Authenticity in Coercive free marketing: Letting yourself be yourself, finding the beauty of being a human, and going through life.Connecting and empowering others: Acquiring alternative resources to get inspiration from by empowering dietitians through her podcast.Answering pod decks questions: Launching a course with 24 credits, talks about the feminist book Cassandra Speaks, and how to create a community and bond with a group. Hack: You're not here to be certain. You're not here to know all of the answers. And that takes a big weight off of my shoulders of feeling like I have to know everything. And the way that I show up is just like, hey, I don't necessarily have the answers. - Jess Serdikoff Connect with Jess at:Podcast: The Empowering Dietitians PodcastApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/empowering-dietitians/id1511399408Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1kBy659g5ddezizfiQZSXD?si=0d43ee95c8bf4c73Instagram: @empowering.dietitiansWebsite: www.empoweringdietitians.com Reach out to Me:Socials:Instagram: @thepodcast_docFacebook: www.facebook.com/nate.navas

Show Notes: Using her book, Cassandra Speaks, author Elizabeth Lesser describes how our human stories and our views of women would change if women were the storytellers. Elizabeth Lesser describes the mythological story of Cassandra where the god Zeus punished her with the gift of clairvoyance but the curse of no one listening to her or believing her thoughts.

Dr. Jordan and the author discuss what story Eve would have told about picking the apple and about her journey after leaving the garden and what lessons humanity have learned from her story. This podcast discusses the need to redefine courage, power, and leadership vs. make women and girls change to fit the old, masculine model. Elizabeth Lesser describes the imposter syndrome and how it relates to how women doubt and devalue themselves.

We discuss the fear of being disliked for speaking up and the importance of being true to oneself, even if it means making waves and ruffling some feathers.

Power is neutral, but how we use it determines whether it is positive or negative. The old story of power tells of dominance and control and sees it as a finite resource that must be hoarded. But, how might we rewrite the story of power to include more feminine values? Elizabeth Lesser is the author of several bestselling books, has given two popular TED talks, and is one of Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul 100, a collection of a hundred leaders who are elevating humanity. She joins Natalie to explore the mythical stories that have defined us, how we might do power differently, and why we need to “dream a little” in schools post-pandemic. Show Notes: How words like “spiritual” can put us into a box we don't belong in. (8:20) An introduction to Cassandra, the namesake behind the title of Elizabeth's book, “Cassandra Speaks.” (11:05) The complexity and backlash when trying to amplify women's stories in our current context. (19:30) Why it's not about “getting” power, but about doing power differently. (24:40) How studying women under stress can expand our widely accepted understanding of “fight or flight”. (28:55) The cultural shift around power in culture and education. (35:35) How educators can heed Toni Morrison's words and, “dream a little before you think” post-pandemic. (43:35) Do no harm but take no shit. (49:25) The purpose of education.

I discuss Elizabeth Lesser's book: Cassandra Speaks, Jennifer Saint's novel: Ariadne, and talk about a real person I just learned about. I play some music from one of my favorite video games.

History is carried forward through the stories a culture tells and values. That's why stories have the power to shape our world and define our identity. However, for most of human history, the storytellers have been men — and women's voices have been largely absent.  According to my guest, Elizabeth Lesser, had there been an equal blend of male and female voices, it would have changed our culture, our values, and the way we live. In her new book, “Cassandra Speaks,” she explores these issues in-depth, which we will be discussing in this episode. Elizabeth Lesser is the author of The Seeker's Guide, Marrow and the NYT bestseller Broken Open. She is the co-founder of Omega Institute, recognized internationally for its workshops and conferences in wellness, spirituality, creativity, and social change. She's given two popular TED talks and is one of Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul 100, a collection of leaders using their voices and talent to elevate humanity. In this interview, Elizabeth and I discuss the messages in stories we've been told through the ages and its impact on how women feel about our appearance, sense of power, and their abilities. We also talk about the steps that we can take to change the narrative so that it empowers both women and men.  If you liked what you heard, don't forget to like, rate, share and subscribe to this podcast.

Elizabeth Lesser is a well-known author whose latest book, CASSANDRA SPEAKS, challenges us to think about how when women are the storytellers, the human story changes. In this episode, Annmarie and Elizabeth discuss the roles females have played throughout history, religion, and mythology, and how now is time for us to unlearn some of the gendered lessons we have come to believe so that all people can flourish and shine.

Elizabeth Lesser blew my mind with an alternate version of the story of Adam and Eve, and, with the Greek myth of the story of Cassandra. I reflect on the women's liberation movement, #metoo and Lesser reminds us of how we ended up with the trial of Dr. Larry Nassar, who for almost 30 years sexually abused hundreds of female athletes under the guise of medical treatment.

What's the best way to cope with uncertainty? Melissa Biggs Bradley looks for the answer with spiritual coach and author Elizabeth Lesser, as they talk about getting out of your comfort zone, new ways of seeing others (and ourselves), relaxing into the mysteries of life and her hopes and predictions for 2022. Plus: the scoop on the annual Insider Journey retreat she and Melissa are hosting at Miraval Arizona in January and much more.

Deborah Tuerkheimer served for five years as an Assistant District Attorney in the New York County District Attorney's Office, where she specialized in domestic violence and child abuse prosecution. In her new book Credible: Why We Doubt Accusers and Protect Abusers, she provides a much-needed framework to explain how we perceive credibility, why our perceptions are distorted, and why these distortions harm survivors. Social hierarchies and inequalities foster doubt that is commonplace and predictable, resulting in what Tuerkheimer calls the “credibility discount”—our dismissal of claims by certain kinds of speakers—primarily women, and especially those who are more marginalized. The #MeToo movement has exposed how victims have been badly served by a system that is designed not to protect them, but instead to protect the status quo. Credibility lies at the heart of this system. Drawing on case studies, moving first-hand accounts, science, and the law, Tuerkheimer identifies widespread patterns and their causes, analyzes the role of power, and examines the close, reciprocal relationship between culture and law—guiding us toward accurate credibility judgments and equitable treatment of those whose suffering has long been disregarded. #MeToo has touched off a massive reckoning. To achieve lasting progress, we must shift our approach to belief. Credible helps us forge a path forward to ensuring justice for the countless individuals affected by sexual misconduct. Praise for Credible “This is not just an important book. It's way more than that—it's a new algorithm, an upending of long-held beliefs kept in place by law and culture. If we rewire ourselves to respond more fairly to the accusations that come our way, law reform and culture change will follow. Over time we can dismantle the credibility complex." —Elizabeth Lesser, bestselling author of Cassandra Speaks and Broken Open “Deborah Tuerkheimer makes a brilliant, clear, and convincing legal case in Credible that justice for survivors requires basic changes in the law. But she makes an equally compelling plea for something with even more world-historical ambition: a transformation that is needed in the court of public opinion so that women's dignity—and credibility—is finally seen as equal to men's.” —Jackson Katz, PhD, educator and author of The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help “In Credible, Tuerkheimer tells a range of stories of victim-survivors of sexual assault and harassment. What's different is that she traverses these stories through the lens of credibility—the ways in which its absence (or in rare cases, its presence) will make all the difference in someone's recovery and healing. This is essential reading not only for those deeply invested in #MeToo activism and scholarship and for victim-survivors who will finally feel seen but also for anyone who has ever known a victim. Which is to say, Tuerkheimer's book is essential reading for everyone.” —Donna Freitas, author of Consent: A Memoir of Unwanted Attention --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

En esta oportunidad hablo de un libro que amé que se llama Cassandra Speaks o Cassandra Habla. Llegué a este libro por una entrevista que Brené Brown le hace a su autora, Elizabeth Lesser y habla de un tema que me apasiona que es el feminismo, un término que ahora tiene un pésima reputación y que debemos rescatar. Pero lo que plantea en el libro me parece tan lógico, tan bello y tras leerlo me doy cuenta que no es un libro feminista, es un libro humanista y que todo el mundo debe leer. Es un libro inteligente, honesto, que llega al corazón y te invita a cambiar la manera de ver muchas cosas del mundo, que nos rodean, que guían nuestro día a día. Un resumen del libro es: ¿Qué historia habría contado Eva acerca de recoger la manzana? ¿Por qué se culpa a Pandora por abrir la caja? ¿Y qué hay del destino de Cassandra, que fue bendecida con conocer el futuro pero maldita para que nadie la creyera? ¿Y si las mujeres hubieran sido las narradoras? El libro trata sobre las historias que contamos y cómo esas historias se convierten en cultura. Se trata de las historias a las que todavía nos aferramos ciegamente y de las que se aferran a nosotros.

Elizabeth Trinkaus shines the light on the oh-so-common imposter and offers tools to overcome this syndrome (that we all suffer from). You are not alone! Elizabeth Lesser, in her book, Cassandra Speaks, talks about this nagging feeling that we are going to be found out, somehow a fraud. The more we realize we are not alone in this false belief and shine the light on it, the more we are empowered to shift from the doubter (Doubting Dotty/Danny) to the encourager (Believing Betty/Bobby). Encourage others; speak kindly to yourself! You got this!

Elizabeth Lesser discusses her new book, Cassandra Speaks: When Women Are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes. What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra, who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her? What if women had also told our guiding origin tales, spiritual parables, and hero myths? Elizabeth Lesser is the co-founder of Omega Institute, the renowned conference and retreat center in Rhinebeck, New York. She is the New York Times bestselling author of several books including Marrow, The Seeker's Guide, and Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow, which has been translated into more than 20 languages.

SPECIAL GUEST: Katya Armistead, Ed.D (she/her/hers) Assistant Vice Chancellor and Dean of Student Life University of California, Santa Barbara Email: katya@ucsb.edu WHY WE BOOK RUMBLE: Our guest, Katya Armistead, said it best: "We are forever students, learning throughout our lifetime." We recognize that ideas, perspectives, experiences and beliefs help us discover different ways of problem-solving. Remaining in our comfort zones and always being surrounded with like-minded people doesn't help us to personally develop. Instead, we must seek voices and knowledge from perspectives we didn't know exists because that is where the growing begins. As a result, when we discover a book where we experience that "ah-ha" moment that ignites a rumbling (thank you #BreneBrown​) in our hearts, conversations, and understanding of self and others, we will invite you in to rumble with us.

Dr. Sharon Ufberg returns with her 51% segment Force of Nature.
