If your inner beliefs do not align with your aspirations, it can lead to inconsistency and failure to achieve lasting change.Put slightly differently: It says 'If you see yourself in a certain way, you'll find it hard to sustain lasting change'.Can you identify with anything in this poem?The world's finest Apple  A poem by Julian R. Smith"You must learn that you cannot be loved by all people You can be the finest apple in the world - ripe, juicy, sweet, succulent - and offer yourself to all. But you must remember that there will be people who do not like apples.  You must understand that if you are the world's finest apple, and someone you love does not like apples, you have the choice of becoming a banana. But you must be warned that if you choose to become a banana you will be a second-rate banana. But you can always be the finest apple.  You must also realise that if you choose to be a second-rate banana. There will be people who do not like bananas. Furthermore, You can spend your life trying to become the best banana - which is impossible if you are an apple - or you can seek again to be the finest apple".What is clear is that somewhere in the past, something happened - usually in the childhood development period. You now find yourself trying to please people - to fit in and be accepted. You try to present a version of you to the people in the 'system' you are currently interacting in, in order to be accepted.If that means changing from being an Apple, to a Banana, then so be it. Being accepted in that grouping is the most important factor. Therefore you constantly metamorphorise in order to please and be accepted.The problem: You never identified and evolved into being the real authentic you or you lost the real authentic you.So - 'standup the real authentic you' - becomes futile because the real authentic you is not known. 'Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all' - will get the response - 'Well it's all those others, isn't it!'The Russian doll image best illustrates the protected Inner child deep inside the layers - being protected from the hostile world.Get some help from The Kairos Centre.

Send us Fan MailOn-Demand Programme Link - https://mailchi.mp/bb2a7b851246/kairos-centreThe antidote to Narcissism is Empathy. (Sympathy and Empathy are very different). Narcissism and Empathy cannot co-exist at high levels together in the same person. (Both cannot be seen being used at high levels in the same person). There will always be a high level of one and a low level of the other. Make sure Empathy is the one that is practised at a high level, in how you do life. (You will need some help to do change to achieve it!)This second definition of NARCISSISM which I use is rather academic and wordy, but it works for some clients:"Narcissism is a psychological disorder associated with grandiosity, a need for admiration and a lack of empathy. Narcissistic traits tend to run on a continuum. A higher psychologically functioning narcissist is often successful and charming but may have intimacy problems in relationships. A person who has a more severe form of narcissism may appear nearly delusional with their grandiosity and may act out destructively when they feel criticized. Narcissistic behavior involves much idealization and devaluation. Characteristics involve grandiosity, entitlement, lack of empathy, idealization of self and devaluation of others.Narcissistic damage occurs when a child's vulnerable and developing core sense of self is not seen and reflected back by the adults around him/her. Each child is born a unique individual with special gifts and personal challenges, multi-layered and both simple and complex. For any one layer to develop, that part of the child needs to be seen, heard, understood and valued. Parents have to be present to be mirrors—to bear witness and reflect back. Healthy, grounded parents help young people build a frame of reference for living. When a parent's own woundedness and unmet needs override their ability to be present to a child or a parent's undeveloped parts of self render them unable to respond to a child's vulnerable and authentic needs, the child's core sense of self can be lost, fragmented or undeveloped. The loss, fragmentation and lack of development of the core sense of self is the root of the narcissistic wound. Raw, broken, undeveloped and lost, we enter a cold cruel world ill-equipped to relate, define fulfilment from the inside out and connect with the spirit of life. When our primal wiring meets the world we live in today characterized by disconnection at personal, family and social levels, we experience a helplessness and aloneness that is beyond what we are biologically prepared to embrace. Narcissistic wounding is sometimes referred to as the emptiness wound".Get some help from The Kairos Centre. See what you cannot see.

Send us Fan MailOn-Demand Programme Link - https://mailchi.mp/bb2a7b851246/kairos-centreHere is my mathematical formula - as we look at Narcissism:SHAME + NARCISSISM = SEX, PORN, LOVE ADDICTIONI am not saying that those with Sex, Porn, Love Addiction are Narcissists. (Some may have NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder)). What I am saying is that all of my clients with Sex, Porn, Love Addiction, have traits which come out of NPD.Most of my clients will initially reject the suggestion that they have such traits - (me, myself & I focus) - until I explain the definition. Here is one of the definitions of Narcissism which I use. (In a past episode, I gave you the shorter simplified definition). This one is the longer, much more academic version:"Narcissism is a psychological disorder associated with grandiosity, a need for admiration and a lack of empathy. Narcissistic traits tend to run on a continuum. A higher psychologically functioning narcissist is often successful and charming but may have intimacy problems in relationships. A person who has a more severe form of narcissism may appear nearly delusional with their grandiosity and may act out destructively when they feel criticized.

'Tools for 'ACTION' won't work if that is not the STAGE you are at. Let's look at where you might be at, despite turning up at the Therapists office because you have been caught and you have the Damocles sword over your head from the threats to leave and take the children - from your partner; or you have had the early morning knock at the door from the police and you are in the Criminal legal proccess and need to show to the system that you are taking steps to quit.Presenting for therapy does not mean you are ready for change and or to give up the behaviours. You see the 'need to give it up', but the 'desire to give it up' is lagging behind.I am multi-talented and do brain surgery on all of my Sex Porn Love Addiction clients. I explain that I am going to cut round your skull; lift off the top; remove your brain and put your brain on the chair next to you. (Don't forget to take it when you leave!)Why do I do something so bizzare? Because I want you to know that your brain (we also call them “Parts”), is not your best friend all of the time. It is well intended. It is seeking to look after and protect you; but it does not always make right or best decisions for you in the moment.There are times when it will work against you. It will sabotage. That is why I encourage all of my clients to build in “Treats & Rewards” into their programme of change. Over time, of the brain experiencing treats & rewards for small incremental good outcomes, I hope (eventually) to entice the parts of the brain to Start to work with you. It likes treats & rewards for good outcomes. Make sense?There is another reason for doing brain surgery. I want to have a conversation with my clients, but I don't want their brain to hear. I need to tell them something, but if their brain hears it, the brain may receive it as permission to Relapse. I don't want to unwittingly give them that message.But I do want them to hear that all the stats will tell us that most individuals do not achieve sobriety at their first attempt to change any behaviour in their life. Usually there are a number of repeated attempts. Learn to get up, dust off and get back in. Remember 'The Potholes Poem'? Request a copy from me, if you need it.What are those 'STAGES OF CHANGE ' you are talking about Gary? The Stages of Change in behaviour occurs gradually. A person moves from being uninterested, unaware or unwilling to make a change (Pre-contemplation), to considering change (Contemplation), to deciding and Preparing to make a change. Genuine determined Action then follows. Endeavours to Maintain the new behaviour occur, as well as the potential for Relapse snapping at its heel, to upset the journey towards life-long change.  Get some help from The Kairos Centre.

Tiffany Masterson was a stay at home mom who wanted to help out the family. With grit and a willingness to be different she built an empire. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [AirVantage Heating & Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to The Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young. Stephen Semple is here with another just enticing story of someone who’s built an empire, mostly sold it. Sometimes they’re still running it. And today he told me we’re sticking our toe back in the cosmetics industry. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And then he named a company that I’ve never heard of. If you told me the name of it, I wouldn’t have guessed it was cosmetics. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: Elephant what? Elephant. Drunk Elephant. Stephen Semple: Drunk Elephant. Dave Young: Drunk Elephant. Stephen Semple: And you think of it. It’s a crazy name for anything in cosmetics because it’s not like- Dave Young: I mean, it’s a crazy name for anything. Stephen Semple: It’s not like you aspire to have skin like an elephant. Dave Young: Especially a drunk one. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Drunk Elephant. It was started by Tiffany Masterson in 2013. And six years later, it sold for $845 million to the Japanese company, Shiseido. Dave Young: Dang, Tiffany. Way to go. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Right? Crazy, right? And so she’s a 40-year-old stay-at-home mom of four and her brother-in-law got involved in the business and she had no background in skincare business, didn’t have anybody around her in the skincare business. And it was like really her brother-in-law who gave her the seed money. And again, when I came across this and was like, “What the heck does elephants or drunk have anything to do with skincare?” Because elephants are wrinkly. Dave Young: Well, and so may I take a detour? Stephen Semple: Absolutely. Dave Young: I love that kind of a name. The worst, in my opinion, which is correct. Stephen Semple: If you do say so yourself. Dave Young: If I do say so myself, in my humbly correct opinion, the most intriguing business names are not descriptive names. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: They’re names that make you stop and snap your head around and go, “Wait, what?” And descriptive names are okay if you’re just counting on people searching in Google for whatever it is your business describes. Stephen Semple: Yeah, but I’d even argue- Dave Young: But even then- Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. We could go on this one for a long time, but I love the name and I love that it’s not Drunk Elephant lipstick. I mean, maybe it is. I don’t even know. It’s skincare. Stephen Semple: Everybody around her tried to talk her out of the name and she was like, “No, I’m sticking with this name.” And there’s a little bit of a reason for the name. But coming back to your point, when we go out and take a look at successful businesses. Your very, very, very hard press to find successful businesses where the name is descriptive. And even the ones that are descriptive, we do not even refer to them that way. Case in point, we do not call General Motors General Motors, we call them GM. We do not call General Electric General Electric, we call it GE. There’s Ford. There’s Chrysler, there’s Tesla. Dave Young: There’s International Business Machines. Stephen Semple: Yeah, which we do not refer to them as I refer to them as IBM. Apple. Microsoft. Now, Microsoft is slightly descriptive, but not at the same time. Dave Young: But I love names like Drunk Elephant, Caterpillar. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. I love it. Stephen Semple: Absolutely. So back to Tiffany. So back to Tiffany. So Tiffany grew up in Houston. Her dad was actually a quarterback. She was not a good student, couldn’t focus in school. She did okay in college. What she really wanted to be, she wanted to be a mom. She wanted to be a mom. She wanted to get married. She wanted to have babies. And she met her husband when she was 30 and was on a blind date and they got married pretty quickly and had babies pretty quickly. And her husband, Charles, was at Enron. Had two kids from a previous message. And when Enron failed, he went on to find a job at Texas Commercial Energy, which then also ended up failing with a bunch of things going on. But she was happy being at home raising kids. And she had four babies under four years old, but she wanted to do something creative, especially with all these things going on with her husband. She wanted to be able to contribute to the family. And so when she started off with the idea of wanting to do a catering company, and her idea was she was going to sell stuff from Frozen, but she couldn’t make the numbers work. She looked at it and looked at it and looked at it and said, “Yeah”. She couldn’t figure out how to make money from it. Then she thought, she got interested in all this cooking stuff and she thought, “Well, I’ll do a pantry cleaning out business, get rid of all the bad food and replace it with good food.” And that, she wasn’t able to get traction on that. Then she started selling Arbonne, which is a skincare line that’s sold as in the multi-level marketing world. And Charles, her husband, is really an artist at heart and he started to do prototypes of custom lights and he wanted to start doing that as a job, but it’s not an easy way to support a family of six. Did it for a few months, was not really from him. And got a call from his brother who had this little store in Austin and told him about a bar where they could sell stuff in store. And when I say a bar, like a bar of soap. So they came across this bar of soap that they thought that they could sell. And it was called this Wonder Bar and it had all sorts of benefits and these crazy ingredients. And she decided that she was going to sell this bar. So she was going to buy this bar, and the bar sold for $100. Dave Young: All right. A bar of soap. Stephen Semple: Bar of soap. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So she was making like this $2,500 a month on profit. But what she also noticed is it cleared up her skin, because she had had all these skin issues. And people liked the bar. They were still having problems. So she had her skin cleared up, but other people’s skin didn’t clear up. And so she started asking them, “Well, what else are you using it? Send what all the other things you’re doing.” She started looking into this and she loved the idea of marketing the bar. She promoted it and was having this huge success to the degree where she had an opportunity to join Wonder Bar United States, like the main company making it, because she was just a reseller. She was just distributor. And she discovered that the bar cost $18 to make. Dave Young: Sure. That’s a good margin. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And her brother-in-law invested $300,000 to buy a national distribution on this. But again, this whole thing she would find is that people were still having issues with their skin and told it’s normal, do a detox, all this other stuff. And the other thing she started to learn is that in a lot of cases, the ingredients on a lot of skincare products were bogus, like was not actually true. And at one point she talked to Sephora about this bar. Like, “You should sell this bar in Sephora,” and Sephora was not interested in one skew. And then she learned of the bar did have some bad ingredients in it. She decided she was going to create her own, and she would make herself the guinea pig and she started to discover about ingredients that should not be put on your skin. And she wanted a line with ingredients that she knew she was comfortable with and would be good. And she did tons of research around ingredients. And here’s the other thing she learned. A lot of ingredients are basically the same ingredient under a different name. She would be like, “This ABC ingredient is bad, but then it’s ABC here and it’s X, Y, Z over there.” Dave Young: Yeah. I think there’s a lot of that that goes on. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: It makes me think of the Certs breath mint commercial from the ’70s that it had Retsyn in it. Retsyn. Stephen Semple: Oh, Retsyn. Dave Young: And they’d make a little sparkly- Stephen Semple: Forgot about that. Dave Young: …each one has a drop of Retsyn. Nobody knows what that is. It’s probably peppermint oil. I don’t know. Stephen Semple: Probably. Dave Young: But yeah, it’s just some made up nonsense. Stephen Semple: So she decided to create an owner-owned formulation. Now, one of the things she discovered in all of this is that to create an owner formulation costs like 30 grand to like- Dave Young: Oh, wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: …to do all of that. But one of the first things that she discovered that she really liked was marula oil was one of the first ingredients, and it can be used as a moisturizer. And when she was researching it, she came across this YouTube video of elephants. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: One of the first things that she discovered that she really liked was marula oil was one of the first ingredients, and it can be used as a moisturizer. And when she was researching it, she came across this YouTube video of elephants. So marula oil comes from a fruit, and when that fruit falls on the ground, seemingly it ferments and elephants and other animals eat it. And she came across this YouTube video of these elephants staggering around. I don’t even know whether that’s true or whether it happens. And she was like she didn’t even know whether this video was true, but all of a sudden the name Drunk Elephant. Dave Young: Well, I’d say it’s worth investigating. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So she decided to call Drunk Elephant, everywhere around her hated it. They said it sounded like a pub. And she was like, “That name is for me. I like it. I like it.” And one of her things that she kept saying in the interview that I heard her say was if she was going to fail, she was going to fail because of her decisions. She was not going to fail because of following somebody else. Dave Young: Good point. Yeah. Stephen Semple: She was like, “I like it. I’m going to do it.” And you know what her attitude was? No one’s going to forget it. Drunk Elephant. No one’s going to forget it. It’s going to stand out. So she creates six SKUs, gets 5,000 units each, costs about $150,000. It’s late 2013. In total, they have about $450,000 invested in creating formulations and all this other stuff. And she launches in August of 2013 and wants to get into Sephora. This is the company she wanted to get in from the beginning. All she wanted to do is get in this one place and really focus on that and make it grow. Meanwhile, her brother-in-law who’s invested all this money is getting nervous. He’s like, “Get into more stores. Don’t just focus on Sephora.” And basically at launch, Charles wanted out and she couldn’t raise money to buy him out. Two investors came in and returned some of the money to Charles. They didn’t do any advertising, but they reached out to every beauty director. And here’s what she did. If you look at Drunk Elephant, if you go online and take a look at it, the packaging is crazy colorful. And again, this is the other thing she noticed. She looked on the shelves and skincare products are very dull. So she created this crazy colorful packaging that goes along with Drunk Elephant and every product had its own color. And there was no color in skincare at the time. And the packaging people even pushed back saying, “Skincare is not done that way.” So she decided that she was going to, again, really push on this whole idea of getting something into Sephora and she started randomly trying email addresses to get ahold of people. Dave Young: Okay. Yeah. I’ve heard about it. Stephen Semple: So she would go “Oh, Dave Young works at Sephora. So is it dave.young@sephora? Is it dyoung@sephora?” Dave Young: Try it at all. Stephen Semple: Until she gets ahold of people. And look, and also she was doing some things again with local beauty companies and whatnot. So the first year sales were under $100,000. July 2014, the final packaging and formulation is done and she goes to this retail show. Now it’s this Cosmoprof retail show and the retailers choose to meet you. And Sephora is not on the list. She looks at all the companies want to meet with her. Sephora is not on the list, but she goes anyway. She goes with her sister. And on the last day, these ladies come walking by and they say to her, “Well, we’re not picking up anything new this year, but tell us about your product and we’re going to keep in touch.” And a week later, she finds out those folks were from Sephora and they wanted to talk to her about launching her brand. Dave Young: Nice. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And one of the things that she did have was really good repeat customers. She was pricing the product between drugstore and dermatology brands, so they really liked the price point. January 2015, she’s in Sephora. Dave Young: Nice. Okay. Stephen Semple: And the other thing that attracted Sephora is she got really big on Instagram because of the big, colorful packaging. Dave Young: A Drunk Elephant. Who is not going to watch a Drunk Elephant video? Stephen Semple: Right. Now, they did a few products with her and they sold out right away. And then April in 2015, she went on the favorites wall, Sephora. So Sephora has this wall of favorite products. And the other thing that she did, so here’s the other thing she did that was smart. She recognized you can’t just get into Sephora and automatically get sales. And if you don’t get sales, you’re not staying in Sephora. So what does she do? She gave every single employee at Sephora samples. Dave Young: Man, okay. Stephen Semple: Right. And in 2017, took on some private equity and she became the fastest growing skincare brand at Sephora. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: A few years later, along come Shiseido offering them $845 million to buy the company. Dave Young: Great. Good for her. So the only disappointing thing I hear in this story is that the private equity folks probably got most of that. Stephen Semple: Yeah, maybe. Dave Young: That’s the way it works. Yeah. Stephen Semple: That’s often the way it works. Dave Young: You need that leg up sometimes. Stephen Semple: Yeah. But what I loved was a couple of things that she did here that I loved. One was name Drunk Elephant. Secondly, the colorful packaging, because again, the argument of everybody was, “Skincare is not done that way.” Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Her instincts to do things differently was really powerful. The other thing that I also really liked, again, Instagram is not where you would think about promoting skincare, but she looked at it and said, “I got this great name in this colorful packaging. It probably would work in Instagram.” Dave Young: Yeah. And it’s definitely where you can get famous for a skincare product because all the young women that are on Instagram are people that are good prospects for you. So my thought is, “Yeah, you can do it,” but I’m guessing she did it right and that she just use it to build fame. Stephen Semple: Yes, she did. Dave Young: Right. She wasn’t trying to sell products. She was just building fame. Stephen Semple: Building fame. That’s exactly what it was. Dave Young: And then people will go find it somewhere. They’re going to go to Sephora anyway. She knew that. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: So that’s great. I mean, I just did a quick Google image search for Drunk Elephant. And yeah, the screen just becomes this bright batch of every color. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: The bright white packages with brightly colored lids and caps and things. It’s fun. It communicates that this is a fun brand. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And when I first heard about it, I was like, “Good for her sticking with the name Drunk Elephant.” And also liked her. And again, her instincts were very good. Dave Young: Yeah. I love it. I love the story. Have you tried it? Stephen Semple: I have not. Dave Young: I haven’t either. Well, of course, I haven’t tried it because I just now heard of it, but I’m thinking about finding Sephora and go get my beauty on. Stephen Semple: Well, you know what, next time- Dave Young: I’m 60, almost, oh geez, almost 63 this year, less than a week. And so I need some skincare. I’m looking at the mirror and going, “Ooh, yikes-“ Stephen Semple: There’s no Sephora in my little town. Next time I’m down in Toronto- Dave Young: …”Dave, you need to moisturize.” Stephen Semple: You need to moisturize. Next time I’m down in Toronto, I’ll step in the Sephora and get one. Dave Young: All right. Well, thank you for bringing us the Drunk Elephant story. What’s she doing now, just sitting on her pile of money like a dragon? Stephen Semple: Well, like she said, she loved being a mom, so maybe just taking care of her kids. I don’t know. Dave Young: Yeah. Awesome. Stephen Semple: All right. Dave Young: Well, thank you for bringing Tiffany’s Drunk Elephant to the room. Stephen Semple: All right. Thanks, David.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This week we go from Julie Andrews, Walt Disney, and the battle over casting Mary Poppins… to why middle management so often misses greatness. Chuck Barris buying a bar just to knock it down. The difference between absurd comedy and mean comedy. And why waiting for “Santa Claus” to bring you your shot is a losing strategy. We also get into Netflix's Reality Check… America's Next Top Model, The Biggest Loser, kidfluencers… and the messy question of accountability.  PLUS: blizzard life in Connecticut, shovel reflections, Certs updates, Bazooka Joe vs. Double Bubble, and a full candy nostalgia spiral. Underneath it all: don't wait for permission. Take the shot. Follow the fun. Bye Betches.

How does that happen?My reply as a Therapist: "Because you 'promise' (or hold the potential) to fix and supplement an aspect of me which needs what you have - but I am not going to tell you that and make myself vulnerable."Say what? Yep."So you are saying that we gravitate to sameness (to compliment each other), as well as differenceness (to supplement my perceived deficits) - which I don't want you to know about and even I don't necessarily and consciously want to own that fact?"All very odd. Yep - because most of that dynamic lives in the unconscious, which is what Therapy with The Kairos Centre helps you with - to move as much from the unconscious into the conscious; so that when it is now in the conscious, you get the opportunity to try to do something about it; but just because it is now in the conscious does not mean you will be able to change what is now visible - quickly. It takes take to effect change.Why? Because you are going after patterns of behaviours set up in the childhood development period, where blueprints and templates were established and set in place and practised into adulthood. "So my thoughts and behaviours are going down a predictable course because of repeatedly practiced patterns of behaviours which have become neural pathways and it takes time to change well entrenched and well established patterns of behaviours which have become neural pathways?". Yep. You got it."Little wonder then that I set about trying to avoid getting it wrong again (by choosing that wrong type of partner) and to avoid that, I go to extreme opposite ends of the spectrum of attributes and blow me, I end up with someone where the same negative behaviours eventually show up again.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This week we talk why Hollywood (and the old “who cares?” celebrity machine) feels like it's running out of gas… and why the people who win now are the ones building their own ark before the flood hits. How a Super Bowl ad or halftime show turns into everyone's hot take… and how to keep your head, enjoy the show, and still have standards (especially when it's a family event). Why being “on the scene” isn't about being impressed, it's about noticing what's shifting, what's manufactured, and what still matters. We talk nostalgia as strategy: how old brands already did the hard work, why rebooting them is genius, and how one missing shoutout to the Certs community turned into a full-blown apology tour, atonement arc, and a surprise comeback story. We talk “fight-or-flight,” how animals (and humans) act differently when they're not stressed, why constant stress breaks your body over time, and why peace and joy might be the real “protocol.” Conspiracies, compassion, and the danger of letting noise hijack your nervous system. PLUS, we land on the only rule that keeps the whole thing moving: follow the fun… and if you can't, you're no fun. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Send a text- On-Demand Programme Link - https://mailchi.mp/bb2a7b851246/kairos-centreFrom where did you get your Sex Ed knowledge back there during the developing childhood years, which you have been following through and repeatedly practising in adulthood? Was it 'Peers, banter and porn' which set up your sexual template, long before school Sex Ed - which got there way too late; the deed was already done. You give a wry smile when asked about Sex Ed at home from parents! For most - there was none at home; for others, if there was, it came way too late.Once the five senses of sight, smell, taste, touch & sound brings images and experiences onto the brain - those 'firsts' have already set up the templates - which will then be repeatedly played out in adulthood sexuality, as being 'right' and 'works'. Not necessarily true. They are templates, but they may not be accurate of 'right'. They are just what your brain experienced as 'first time' and the template is set up (whether wanted or not) and will reproduce and reproduce; churning out the same old, same old - 'seems to work'; (but you know it isn't working as you want it to work!The setting up of those templates during the childhood development period are called sexual myths. Sexual myths need to be unlearned. Then replaced with accurate knowledge about human sexually and physiological responses. That is what The Kairos Centre provide, when its Therapists are wearing a different hat and skill set called Psychosexual Therapy. (I use the shorted term of 'Sex Therapy').It can be transformation, when (for the first time) you experience Sensuality, Intimacy, Romance, Deep Love & Affection - at a must higher level (after cleansing out the dross); which is so fulfilling on its own; and you haven't even had sex yet!Come and see and experience it for yourself.

Yes, there are now breeds of the modern woman who watch, talk and joke about it regularly, but most of us still stay farther away from speaking the word than we actually stay away from it...... but statistics show that, at least in Australia, more than one-third of pornography viewers are women. Just last week, I received an email from a girl who leads a small women's group; they'd just discovered that every single one of them were watching porn.When I was in high school, pornography was on the long list of "bad things" that I didn't know much about -- and unfortunately also on the list of things I had participated in. Never mind why I was watching it, the how is the same for nearly all of us: We stumbled upon it because of someone else. And none of us knew what to expect, or how to handle it.I wish someone had talked about how women watch it too, so I wouldn't have had to spend years living under the shame that comes with being "the only one" and thinking there was something wrong with me....."What are the psychosexual issues that we work with as Sex Therapists, which young people are storing up and manifests in their twenties.Erectile Dysfunction: Inability to get or keep an erectionDelayed/Retarded ejaculation: Inability or 'long' delay in being able to ejaculatePremature Ejaculation: Coming too quicklyVaginismus: Inability for penis to enter the vagina due to vaginal musclesDyspareunia: Female pain during vaginal penetrationSexual Desire Disorder: Little or no desire for sexLack of Orgasm: Inability to reach an OrgasmSpectatoring during sex: Coaching self during sex and so not fully presentGenital/body dysmorphia: Belief that genitals are not 'normal'Spermaphobia: Fear of ejaculation and specifically spermEurotophobia: Aversion to/fear of female genitaliaSickle cell Priapism: Ejection failure to reduce and is longlastingVulvar painGet some help from The Kairos Centre.

But in today's competitive tech job market, that approach is no longer enough. In this episode of the IT Career Podcast, Dakota sits down with Dr. Gerald Auger, founder of Simply Cyber Academy, to reveal what actually drives IT career growth. We unpack why certifications, degrees, and bootcamps are only a small piece of the puzzle and how personal branding, LinkedIn visibility, and professional credibility are what really separate people who get hired from those who stay stuck.Gerald shares real-world insight from working with thousands of IT and cybersecurity professionals and explains how building a strong personal brand creates career opportunities long before you ever submit a resume. If you are trying to land your first help desk job, move into cybersecurity, or level up your IT career, this conversation will show you exactly how to stand out in a crowded job market and get noticed by recruiters, hiring managers, and industry leaders.✅ Gerald Auger, Ph.D. Resources:Website: https://www.simplycyber.io/socialsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@simplycyberLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/geraldauger/

Women gravitated to webcam usage during lockdown – maybe coerced by partners making it seem like a necessary substitute. Many such females do not yet know they might be addicted until they try to stop.What is this thing called “Love Addiction”? Well, I believe it is all about trying to fill an Insecure Attachment need. What's that? Set up in childhood development where the bonding with key parental figures was not 'good enough'. “Say what!'. There may be a high level of sincere motivation to stop, but the physiology demand for its chemical fix, situational triggers and disturbing/upsetting feelings, causes a PART of the personality to sabotage. Logic goes offline. There is little care about the demands of the other PARTS of the personality. "I see, I desire, I want, so I take" kicks in. Immediate gratification rules.So, a lot of women worldwide, have become addicted or have a compulsion towards porn, but do not realise it. Arguably, there is greater 'Shame' for women, who then need to go deeper under ground and sty 'hidden. Stay means hide/hidden - don't tell or be found out. Remember SHAME + NARICISSISM = SEX ADDICTION.Some interesting stats from BACP Mindometer 2025 News from BACP: This annual survey into the state of the nation's mental health identified that almost two thirds (64%) of therapists say the public's mental health has deteriorated over the past year. Nearly all therapists identified financial pressures and the rising cost of living as major contributing factors, while 83% reported that war and global conflict have also negatively affected people's wellbeing.The survey gathered insights from almost 3,000 members, highlights several emerging trends:62% of therapists who work with men with addiction said they noticed a rise in alcohol addiction over the past yearOver half (53%) of therapists who work with men with addiction said they noticed a rise in porn addiction over the past yearWhat a shame the questions were focussed primarily on men. Interesting isn't it!In August 2024, BACP published its Addictions Competence Framework, identifying specialist knowledge, skills and abilities that counsellors require to effectively support adults living with addictions.  Get some help from The Kairos Centre.

A conversation with Damian Andrews of SHAIR.Care Podcast (Australia) in 2023.Therapy is about you not me.What do you want from Therapy? Are Fetishes or Paraphilia activities to be included? Where does your view come from? Is it your view or a 'hand me down?'What is for sure is that Therapy won't work until you are ready. But if you take too long (as the masses do), then the hand grenade may go off in your face and then you are left picking up shrapnel. Picking up shrapnel is to be re-active. What might shrapnel look like? It could be: getting caught by a partner; found out by an employer from office PC activities; the early morning knock by the police for viewing Child Sexual Abuse Material.Better to make conscious choices, even if wrong choices; (at least you know you made those choices and so, can own the fallout). Don't let lack of choice be done to you because you did not chose the activities, but they were done to you. You then own the repercussions. Make sense?CBT= Cognitive Behaviour (Therapy). The Cognitive (your thinking) will always come before Behaviour (the action). Change your thinking before trying to change Behaviour. If you can change your Mind, you can change your life.Whichever addiction you are caught up in (whether Alcohol, smoking, eating, sex, porn, seeking out connection with love, drugs, phone, gambling or gaming), the craving to use are not under direct conscious control. The neuro-chemicals or self induced chemicals take over and demand repeat fix.

A conversation with Damian Andrews of SHAIR.Care Podcast (Australia) in 2023.Make the real thing the real thing; prioritise the right thing. Fight the right battles. Don't fight some battles, but lose the war. It will drain you and then you want to self-soothe and dissipate your energy.Your brain may sideswipe you to focus on non-essentials. What is the real issue. Take your eyes off others and do your own battles and fights. Not ones which others have set up for you. Focus on self love and self value. Only then can you learn to truly love someone else.….then, after sorting self, maybe you will have more energy to pick up other things and fulfil your best potential in the right aspects of life that is destined for you to impact beneficially. Become the best that you can be and leave your positive deposit on this earth. Consider a re-set, re-set, re-set. Get back to the real thing. Your focus is to change the trajectory that you are on.

Happy New Year, and welcome back to The Collision Vision, driven by Autobody News! We're kicking off 2026 with a new look and a slightly new format— and most importantly, the same great, actionable content you've come to expect from the best operators and minds in the industry… right here on the Collision Vision… To start the year strong, we're bringing back a friend of the show: John Melendez, owner of JDM Collision. Today we're unpacking a bold strategic move you don't see every day in collision—John's decision to pursue ASE mechanical certifications inside a collision-first operation. We'll get into the trigger, the roadmap, the investment, and the results: keeping more of the repair in-house, speeding cycle time, and capturing more of the total repair bill without sacrificing quality. If you've ever wondered whether adding mechanical capability belongs in your growth plan, this is the blueprint. Let's dive in.  Connect with John: Email: john@jdmcollision.com  Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-melendez-576b59294/ Website: https://www.jdmcollision.com/ 

Happy New Year! In this episode, Automox cybersecurity experts Ryan Braunstein and Seth Hoyt break down the security vulnerabilities you need to know heading into 2026.First up: a ticking time bomb. Microsoft's 2011 Secure Boot certificates expire in June and October 2026, making this your top patching priority for the year. If your BIOS and OS aren't both updated, you're leaving the door wide open for rootkit attacks. Start auditing your hardware now. You have six months.Next up: a Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability that exploits a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition. Think of it like swapping wristbands after the bouncer checks you at the door.Finally, an actively exploited flaw in Desktop Window Manager that can leak sensitive information and even break out of sandboxes.Patch your systems. Patch your BIOS. See you next month.

A conversation with Damian Andrews of SHAIR.Care Podcast (Australia) in 2023.Sex Addiction is handled very differently between the cultures. Shame plays out differently between cultures. 'Shame' in Asian culture, is very different to 'Shame' in Western European culture.An interesting article by Sam Louie, discusses Asian 'Shame' and 'Honour' as a cultural conundrum:"...Honoring his Korean heritage while also trying to honor his sense of autonomy growing up.  He saw getting help as bringing dishonor to his family and not an act of empowerment...Seeking help for addictions...is seen as a major umbrage to the Asian individual, family, and extended Asian community.....when it comes to addictions, there is scant attention given to Asians. Part of the limited attention lies in the age-old Asian custom of secrecy, silence, and shame. From an Asian addict's perspective, it's the ultimate blow of humiliation to be seen as weak since having an addiction goes against Asian social norms......The mere acknowledgement of an Asian person having a problem is going against cultural norms because it sends the implicit message to others that you have let them down....internal shame in Korea comes when a person has not lived up to the community's rules and expectations. This internal shame is very prevalent among Asians and Koreans. It functions to build group harmony and unity.”In addition, Asian shame is intricately tied to the fear of rejection and loss of both familial and cultural community support...is more profoundly associated with the fear that one's inadequacies will result in the loss of union with or expulsion from the group”. “Chinese parents readily discuss and disclose children's transgressions in front of strangers to induce shame and to socialize children to behave properly…given the greater valuation of shame in collectivist cultures compared to individualistic ones, it should not be surprising that in many East Asian and other collectivist contexts shame plays a more salient role in everyday life.”...in shame-based cultures, public humiliation, scorn, or censure are relied upon more heavily to keep individuals in obedience whereas the western notion of guilt and corrective behaviors comes from an individual's development of an internal conscience."Remember, 'Shame' means hide/hidden - don't get caught or be found out.Get some help from The Kairos Centre.

A conversation with Damian Andrews of SHAIR.Care Podcast (Australia) in 2023.“Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest or them all”? How do you answer that question for you? Learn to love self, before you can love others.I use that thing called EMDR to work on the distorted image of self. What is this thing called EMDR? It is Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing. What a mouth full!I can talk about it til the cows come home, but you will still have frowns on your eyebrows. Watch a few of the video clips: https://youtu.be/9uE04Blfd-Q?si=MrNZZmCAgmTmOUo7  EMDR (Prince Harry) experiencehttps://youtu.be/M2ra8p4MSOkhttps://youtu.be/bIJZQAr9nQohttps://youtu.be/HNdMHuwvF_Mhttps://youtu.be/xZVw-9ThmSMStop accepting the crumbs off the table. The brain's dialogue with you can go like this: “It's better to have someone, than no one; but people are not safe. Keep them at arms-length and be ready to retreat quickly, if you get a whiff or hint that they are unhappy and may finish with you. It is best to torpedo the relationship; jettison it and protect your heart from further pain, before they do it to you. So, throw in a hand grenade (effectively, to create conflict so as to force the other person to have to leave and finish with you); and then the ‘fait accompli' kicks in, where – ‘I knew they would finish with me at some point'. (When in fact that was not necessarily what they were planning); more important that you do it to them, before they do it to you, because it hurts less, done that way and you are then in more control of the pain, than if it is done to you and you were caught off guard (again). “Do onto others, before they do it to you” – is being played out repeatedly.

A conversation with Damian Andrews of SHAIR.Care Podcast (Australia) in 2023.What's a “Russian Doll” (or is it called a Babushka) got to do with Sex, Porn, Love Addiction?I thought you would never ask!“I haven't bought into that nonsense “Big boys don't cry”, when I was growing up”. At least, I don't think so”!That guy called John Bowlby in the 1940's dared to put together some suppositions that I didn't like. How dare he put me in a box and think that he knows me. Yet, “Oh my goodness, that stuff he is talking about me; describes me. I don't like this. Anyway, I am a complex being made by God and only Sigmund Freud can unravel the complexities of me”. (This was my coping strategy that I used to avoid getting penetrated and having to go and see those busy-body counsellors and tell them about my growing up stuff, so they could sort me out).The inner child was curled up deep inside the Russian Doll, with layers of protection, to avoid people that I give my heart to, hurting me again. "Big boys don't cry". Therefore, grown up boys absolutely cannot cry. A man's man get's up, stop crying and whimpering and gets on with it. Stiff British lip stuff. (PS: Is that the upper or lower lip that is stiff. I always wondered!)What is the framework and straight jacket which society (which is us) has given men? Is it the right fit? If it isn't, how do we break out and re-invent ourselves?What baton? What generational/family script has been handed on to each of us?What is masculinity? What does it mean? Is it controversial to even ask the question?

A conversation with Damian Andrews of SHAIR.Care Podcast (Australia) in 2023.Russian dolls very well illustrates the brain's attempts to protect and guard us from repeat pain from situations experienced in the childhood development years. The real us, may have got stunted, where the brain built layers and layers around the inner child from the time of early developmental traumas and uncomfortable issues.By adulthood, maybe you no longer know who is the 'Real' you. You get a split second sight of him (very rarely), but before you are ready, he pops back in and disappears.When you get that split second sighting, you know you could get to like him, but as you hold up your hands to beckon him to stay, just as quickly, he disappears. (Make sense to anyone?)You learn to present a version of you, dependent upon the persona you think that group of people want to see or have got use to seeing; but it may not be the real authentic you. It may have got tiring living in that mould and you have outgrow that version of you, but the 'system' won't let you change and metamorphose into a different version of you. You are stuck. The coat no longer fits. So you self-soothe with P....Men are “Wild at heart”. That book (by that title) by John Eldredge – maybe is on to something. There is something that is not done “good enough” during childhood development. The brain then sets about trying to fill the deficits with coping strategies – Sex, Porn and/or Love Compulsive activities enter the mix, after the game console or sports, ain't doing it well enough.Get some help from The Kairos Centre.

A conversation with Damian Andrews of SHAIR.Care Podcast (Australia) in 2023.We need you ladies. Don't give up on us yet!So much more practical in finding solutions. Teach us please ladies. We need you. I am convinced that women have been endowed with an extra perceptive sense which us men do not have. You see danger in innocuous situations that us men just glaze our eyes over, until..... 'Too late guy'.Us men have become emasculated by a society. What does masculinity mean? Aren't there two roles – Masculinity & Femininity? Aren't they different? Don't they complement each other, to create a balanced society? Too simplistic Gary?We need someone in our life to role-model the sexual type that belongs to each of us. Without it, so many are floundering on the high seas, trying to do the best with the best that they have been handed. “Life isn't fair” - I decided, long ago.Get some help from The Kairos Centre.

The male (a father) plays a very important role. Masculinity cannot be entirely and comprehensively supplemented by a mother. It is not “do as I say”, it is “do as you see me doing”. The eyes take in the largest amount of information during the communication process.What gets set up in childhood, plays out in adulthood, in how we interact with others; seeking to bond, yet avoid repeat hurt. It is called Insecure Attachment. Insecure Attachment in Adulthood, often presents as “Love Addiction”, where the individual is not so much chasing Love, but connection; acceptance; to be inclusive; to be wanted; to be secure.The stuff of Sex, Porn, Love Addiction is indiscriminate. It impacts, in a significant way, women, children, men, LGBTQI community - cutting across all of the societal stratas and ages - (aged 9 to 75). The scale of addiction is staggering and is at pandemic levels:•          12% of all internet websites contain pornography.•          25% of all search engine queries—68 million per day—relate to sex.•          35% of all downloads are pornographic.•          70% of men aged 18–24 visit porn sites monthly.•          Average first exposure: 11 years old.•          1 in 5 pastors struggle with pornography.•          Over 50% of practising Christians report occasional porn use.•          Neurodivergent individuals show higher compulsive-use rates. Get some help from The Kairos Centre.
