In Episode 14 of Compassion Collective,  we discuss the notion of worthiness as something we all innately have as human beings. Rather than waiting for the feeling of worthiness to occur and affirm that we are indeed worthy, what would it look like to lead with behaviors that communicate worthiness and notice the experiences that follow.  Visit us online at https://compassion-collective.com and follow us on Instagram @collective_compassion

Abortion is an issue that pulls on my heart strings. It's not a choice I've had to make personally, and I'm grateful for that, but I have held space for many as they shared their stories of the choices they faced after abuse, especially incest. I've been present with young girls – children who do not know their bodies well enough to determine pregnancy at early stages – who are paralyzed in fear because no choice feels like a “good” choice. And now I live in Texas whose lawmakers have recently passed the strictest abortion law in this country – no abortion after 6 weeks with no exceptions for rape or incest. And several states are following suit.Note: this topic is the next question from “The Answer is Love: Questions to Explore as We Transition into an Era of Peace.” The Texas law was passed after this chapter was written, but the Answer is relevant. There is a lack of integrity, an incongruence between what we display as social norms and what we expect of the developing members of our society. The resultant situation is heart-breaking, and as a collective, we all hold some level of responsibility. In today's Meditation & Healing Circle, we offer prayers for the collective of humanity, for our culture, and for the individuals who struggle with difficult choices currently or from the past. If abortion has been a choice you made and struggled with, you will find compassion and healing here. If you struggle to understand the dilemmas of others, I hope you gain clarity and understanding here. In any case, I hope you will join us in praying for the soul of humanity. We will also discuss changes we can expect in the Era of Peace and Universal Harmony. Listen to this experiential heart-centered meditation for love, compassion, understand, and universal harmony. The Meditation & Healing Circle is live every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. You're welcome to join us. If you join live, you can stay on after the meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. http://JoyfullyLivingWellness.com/the-community-calls http://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com

Welcome to another episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit Podcast.  Today I am sharing my takeaways from the 2019 International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) Conference. I just got back and it was possibly one of the most wonderful experiences.  This year, the conference was in Austin, Texas, and I won't lie…it was HOT.  I was super impressed with the people from Texas, as they were so kind, cheerful and helpful. In today’s episode, I wanted to give you guys a quick peek at what I took away from the 2019 IOCDF conference this year.  The 2019 IOCDF Conference is a conference that is held annually to help provide education, support, and advocacy for those who struggle with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Health Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors, Tic Disorder or Tourette's Disorder and general anxiety.  It is a wonderful opportunity for those who need extra support or want to learn the gold-standard treatment for OCD.  Not only is it an educational weekend, but it is also a weekend filled with hope, love, and unconditional acceptance.  Here is what I took away from this year’s 2019 IOCDF Conference.  First of all, you guys are so kind. I cannot tell you how overwhelmed and honored I was to meet so many of you.  Thank you to each and every one of you who came and said hi, gave me hugs, thanked me for the work I am so honored to do and for those of you who showered me with the sweetest and most thoughtful gifts.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Now, once again this year, I was honored to host the 2019 Compassion Collective support group for Self-Compassion with my dear friend Michelle Massi.  Michelle and I met each morning at the very early hour of 7 am to sit with a group of beautiful humans who are invested in being kinder and more compassionate to themselves.  It was a beautiful group and, once again, we got to peek inside their minds for an hour each morning and learn just how hard you all are on yourselves.  Wowsers, you guys.  Humans are FAR too hard on themselves.  The main message we tried to share with y’all (We were in Texas hehe) was to drop the idea of getting A+ in life and to shoot for a B-.  Be a B- human.  Give life a B- effort.  Give yourselves a little break here and there.  In addition to running the Compassion Collective group, I also had the honor of running the Women’s OCD Support Group with my dear friend, Beth Brawley.   The one big takeaway from these amazing women was to be unapologetically yourself.  As women, we need to stop apologizing for ourselves and just own the struggles and wins that we have.   Another thing I heard from attendees over and over in the elevators and hotel halls is the strong urge and pressure to make themselves attend each and every presentation.  If anyone has attended and IOCDF Conference, you will know that the schedule is JAM PACKED every single hour of the day.  There is no way we can do it all.  I figured you guys are hard on yourself in daily life also so my message to you is that you don’t have to do it all.   This one is SUPER important.  You are alone!  You really are not.  Each year, thousands of people meet in a random city in the USA to learn about OCD.  I know at home you may not know a single soul with OCD, but please know that people like you are out there and they are wonderful and kind and smart and funny and make my heart so full, just like YOU.    The last takeaway from the 2019 IOCDF Conference is this.  YOU ARE SUPPORTED!   I was honored to attend the OCD Game Changers event at the conference and there I met a large number of OCD treatment providers and OCD Advocates who are on a mission to help you all and provide good treatment and to advocate for you and to fight for you.   You may have had terrible experiences with some therapists, but please know that there are some incredible therapists out there who are such badasses and they are fighting for you.  

Aubrey Marlette from the group Unleash Your Heart is on the podcast today. Unleash has been mentioned in our podcast before, so Bri thought it was time to invite Aubrey on to chat more about why she created the community. Aubrey comes in vulnerability personally as well to share about when her father went through cancer. She talks about how she struggled with body image. In the past she struggled with anorexia and then binge eating in college. Then when her dad was diagnosed with cancer and she saw how he struggled with his health, she realized how precious life really is. It set her out into a holistic journey and learning how to love herself. Even though it was a painful time in her life, she believes it took a big crisis to set her onto her current path.Self-love is at the root of everything in life.Her tips to loving yourself more:1)Learning to listen to your heart2)Honor what your inner voice is telling you3)Every part of you has positive intentions4)Then you feel that wholeness because you aren’t constantly feeling your “imperfections” are wrong. They are a part of you for a good reason.If you’d like to get to know Aubrey and Unleash more, Bri is actually hosting an open, free self-compassion workshop there this June 6th from 130-3p.

The topic of the day was “courage,” with two singular, admired women (who happen to be married to each other): soccer icon Abby Wambach and writer/philanthropist Glennon Doyle. Abby is an Olympic gold medalist and World Cup champion. Glennon entered the American imagination with the label “Christian mommy blogger.” Now she ignites millions of followers through initiatives like “Love Flash Mobs,” as she says, “to turn heartbreak into action.” What follows is a conversation about courage that is both serious and playful, as it turns up in their lives apart and together — from addiction to social activism to blended family parenting. Glennon Doyle is the author of the bestselling books “Love Warrior” and “Carry On, Warrior. ” She is also the founder and president of Together Rising, a nonprofit that has raised more than $15 million for women and children in crisis. Abby Wambach is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, FIFA Women’s World Cup champion, and six-time winner of the U.S. Soccer Athlete of Year Award. Her books include “Forward: A Memoir” and the forthcoming “WOLFPACK.” Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.

My IOCDF Conference Key Takeaways One of the biggest honors I have as a therapist who treats anxiety disorders is to present at the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) annual conference.  I just adore these conferences, mostly because they provide a mix of both treatment presentations and support groups for those who struggle with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and for therapist who provide evidence based treatment for those who have OCD.   Another amazing thing about these conferences is that they also provide support groups and presentations on Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRB’s) such as Trichotillomania (Hail Pulling) and Excoriation Disorder (Skin Picking) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and also co-occuring Eating Disorders and Substance Abuse. In this episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit, I wanted to share with you some of my reflections from running several support groups and attending some amazing presentations by some of the top treatment providers in the world.   The IOCDF.org put on such an amazing event and I have to admit, this one was by far my favorite. At this years conference, I was honored to co-facilitate a new support group called the Compassion Collective with a dear friend and colleague, Michelle Massi.  Michelle and I gathered every morning at 7AM (yes, it was VERY early) to meet with attendees who wanted support with self-compassion.  Each morning we provided a new compassion tool to help those who are struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).  This was such an beautiful experience, as we got to really see inside the minds of the attendees and hear what is getting the way of them practicing self-compassion.  Interestingly, perfectionism and fear of failure were two of the key components or self-compassion sabotage (which I speak a lot about in this weeks podcast episode). I was also honored to be a part of a presentation called “Let’s Talk about Sex Baby!”  This presentation was a question and answer formatted presentation where attendees asked very intimate questions about how OCD and anxiety can impact sex.  One of the most interesting themes of these presentation was just how uncomfortable people were about discussing sex with their therapist.  We had a very OPEN and HONEST dialog with attendees about sex and normalized it. Finally, I was lucky enough to get to run the Co-existing OCD and Eating Disorder group this year with Beth Brawly.  Beth and I have ran this group several times and I love it SOOOO much.   There is a fine line where OCD and Eating Disorders combine and we met to help attendees break down faulty views of body, health, body size, food and body image.    It was so wonderful to see some very brave families join together to support their family members who are struggling. Fore more information on the IOCDF, click here. Lastly, this is a friendly reminder that ERP School (our online course for Exposure & Response Prevention for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and other Anxiety Disorders) is COMING SOON, so stay tuned.  Sign up HERE to be on the waitlist and be alerted as soon as it is available.

Glennon Doyle is an author, activist, founder of Momastery.com and co-founder of the Compassion Collective and Together Rising, a non-profit that has raised more five million dollars for women and children in crisis.Her latest book, LOVE WARRIOR is a #1 New York Times Bestseller and the Oprah's Book Club selection.I sat down with Glennon the morning after she had wrapped one of her gatherings at the legendary BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) in New York City, where she was joined by a multi-denominational collective on-stage, including Alicia Keys who was so moved she couldn't help but belt out an impromptu song before leaving.In this conversation, we dip into her memoir. But that's more of a jumping off point that leads us into some very different waters, from leading as an introvert, her feelings about faith and how it informs what she's creating to how she's moving into a season of her life where the line between public and private, art and service, love and leading is shifting in profound and intentional ways.We go deep into some provocative territory here, and there are more than a few invitations to reconsider how you move into the world and what you choose to focus on. Agree or not, this is a conversation that'll leave you lifted, challenge your assumptions and also make you think and feel.We first aired this conversation in October 2016. Since then, so much has unfolded in both in Glennon's life and in the world. I'm so excited to share this "Best Of" episode with you now, as a continued reflection on what matters in your own life, and how you might bring it to the world.Glennon's publishing team loved this conversation as much as I did, and you can now find the transcript of much of it in the new paperback version of her book.

Rob Bell shakes up how we see religion and spirituality. Rather than focusing on dogma or beliefs, Rob prefers the world of mystery, art, wonder and living in the moment. He offers a refreshing view of how to cultivate a spiritual life that focuses on love, grief, loss, taking care of ourselves and embracing all the messy parts of being human. Rob said, “Often times when I meet atheists and we talk about the god they don’t believe in, we quickly discover that I don’t believe in that god, either.” Rob Bell is a New York Times bestselling author, international teacher and highly sought after public speaker. TIME magazine named Rob Bell one of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2015, Oprah invited Rob on her “ Life You Want Tour ” with Elizabeth Gilbert, Mark Nepo and Deepak Chopra. Along with Brene Brown, Rob is a founding member of the “ The Compassion Collective ” raising over $1 million for the European refugees crisis.
