Host Karen Roberts - https://karenrobertscoaching.com Special Guest Dr. Kathy Gruver Welcome to an inspiring episode of The Coffee with Karen podcast! Today, we are honored to be joined by the remarkable Dr. Kathy Gruver, a true embodiment of wisdom and vitality. With an impressive background spanning over three decades in MINDBODY medicine and human behavior, Kathy is not just an award-winning author, but also a dynamic professional speaker, certified coach, and a force to be reckoned with. Her journey has taken her across continents, cruise ships, and even to the prestigious world of TEDx talks.   Beyond her impressive accolades, Kathy's journey is a testament to her resilience and determination. From her early days discovering her dual passions for acting and healing, she embraced a nonlinear path that eventually led her to a fulfilling career in holistic well-being. Her ability to say "yes" to life's opportunities propelled her through diverse experiences, from Hollywood to Santa Barbara, and expanded her expertise to include reiki, homeopathy, hypnosis, and more.   Today, Kathy brings her wealth of knowledge to our podcast, delving into the omnipresent challenge of stress in our modern lives. In a world fueled by gadgets, gizmos, and ceaseless connectivity, stress has become a constant companion. Her insights shine a light on the crucial practice of acknowledging stress while mastering our reactions to it.    Drawing parallels between stress and our innate fight-or-flight response, she offers guidance on reshaping our narrative and finding balance. Mindfulness emerges as a powerful tool as Kathy shares the teachings of Eckhart Tolle. By embracing the present moment and accepting its essence, we gain the ability to transform our reactions to stressors, fostering positive outcomes. The conversation also navigates through the profound impact of stress on various dimensions of our lives, highlighting its influence on relationships, financial health, and self-image. In the era of social media dominance, Kathy and Karen explore the shadow side of technology, underscoring the importance of self-awareness and establishing boundaries to safeguard our mental well-being. Kathy's journey from actress to healing expert underscores the multifaceted nature of true health, emphasizing the integration of mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects for a vibrant life.   As we wrap up this enlightening episode, Kathy invites us to embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-care. By recognizing our unique stress triggers and understanding our individual responses, we gain the tools to conquer stress and live authentically.    Kathy delves deeper into the crucial realm of self-awareness, shedding light on how external influences often lead us to relinquish our power to outside authorities. The conversation centers on the foundation of personal growth – introspection.    By looking within, we can recognize the signs of stress that manifest physically and behaviorally. The rise of social media and digital distractions, while offering connectivity, has diminished genuine self-awareness. Our host urges listeners to reconnect with the present moment and prioritize their inner well-being over external validation.   The concept of internal family systems takes center stage, offering a new lens through which to view our behaviors and reactions. Through relatable examples, the host illustrates how various ego states or "parts" influence our actions. The key lies in understanding and harmonizing these parts for a balanced life. Balancing ego states proves pivotal; embracing the multifaceted aspects of our personalities fosters equilibrium.   Kathy shares personal anecdotes that shed light on the intricate nature of ego states, demonstrating how they trigger different behaviors and even alter handwriting. The interaction between these states and their potential to lead to misunderstandings and conflicts is explored. The segment delves into the "self" state, a haven of compassion, calmness, and connection. Staying grounded in the "self" state offers a tool for managing interactions and navigating challenges.   Listeners are introduced to practical strategies for recognizing and understanding their ego states. By acknowledging the strengths and weaknesses of each state, individuals can effectively navigate complex situations. The segment concludes with a call for consistent practice and self-compassion, echoing the teachings of Eckhart Tolle in embracing ego states for personal growth and well-being.   In the final segment of this enriching podcast, Kathy Gruver and the host explore the path to healing ego states and unlocking our true potential. Healing these aspects leads to reduced reactivity and healthier coping mechanisms, eliminating the need for harmful substances or behaviors. Acknowledging and thanking each ego state, even the seemingly irrational ones, creates a harmonious internal dialogue.   Dr. Gruver outlines the process of healing ego states, which involves seeking guidance from coaches or therapists who specialize in this area. Her interactive cards provide a tangible tool for self-exploration, aiding in the separation of positive and potentially detrimental ego states. By understanding the origins and underlying needs of these states, individuals can gradually heal and integrate them.   Trauma, both big and small, plays a significant role in shaping ego states. Dr. Gruver emphasizes that everyone has experienced moments of trauma that contribute to these states' formation. The journey of healing involves revisiting these moments and addressing the unmet needs of these parts. Listeners are provided with valuable resources to connect with Kathy Gruver, offering coaching, workshops, and motivational speaking to guide individuals on their journey to healing and self-awareness. Her upcoming book, "Just Be Yourself: Using Ego States," promises practical insights for navigating life's challenges.   As the episode draws to a close, the hosts reflect on the challenges of staying present and practicing self-compassion. Integrating ego state work into daily life holds the potential for profound personal growth and a more fulfilling existence. The transformative power of embracing ego states resonates, encouraging listeners to embark on their own transformative journeys of self-discovery and holistic well-being.   In summary, this podcast episode featuring Kathy Gruver takes listeners on a profound journey of self-awareness, stress management, and personal growth. Through insightful conversations, relatable anecdotes, and practical strategies, listeners are empowered to recognize, embrace, and heal their ego states for a more balanced and fulfilling life. As we explore the depths of stress and vitality, Kathy's expertise shines through, offering a roadmap to conquer stress and uncover one's true self.   You can connect with Dr. Kathy Gruver   http://www.facebook.com/drkathygruver http://www.linkedin.com/in/kathygruver http://www.instagram.com/drkathygruver  http://www.twitter.com/klgruver http://www.KathyGruver.coach    Your Host Karen Roberts   At Mintwave Radio Station and the 'Raising Vibrations' podcast network on Podbean, we provide a comprehensive range of services to coaches, consultants, therapists, healers, and experts who want to share their message with a wider audience.

One of the keys to happiness is reducing your stress. Professional stress coach, Andrew Oakes, teaches us the correlation between stress and happiness. Andrew explains that the higher your current stress, the harder it is to feel happy. And, when you are feeling relaxed and carefree, it's so much easier to feel happy. In this episode, Andrew joins Matt O'Neill to discuss how to think of stress as a game you get to play. Once you start to learn the game mechanics, you can begin to equip yourself with the necessary tools to navigate it. You can conquer stress in a fun, rewarding way. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Learn what creates stress. Acknowledge little discomforts in your life and deal with them. Have the discipline to take on big mountains. Stress is a game you have to play. Record and reframe. [02:16] The Happiness and Stress Scale: On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy are you? From that same scale, how stressed are you? Happiness and stress are inversely correlated. Once stress compounds, it starts to move solely in that one direction. Often, what we do is assign all our problems to big mountains in our life. But in reality, what maxes out our capacity are the discomforts that then create stress. [15:00] The Natural Flow of Dopamine: Our body only has a certain capacity for taking on discomforts. We're hardwired for survival. The brain rewards us with feel-good feelings—dopamine—upon removing that discomfort. It's the same process when you urinate after holding your bladder for some time. However, the brain can't really tell the difference between a small and big discomfort. [19:32] Stress Management Toolbox: Having a hammer—anger or frustration—as your standard equipment in your toolbox only leads to more stress. Andrew has come up with re-tools to re-tool your toolbox: Record: Use cheat sheets, journals, organizers, etc. “5P's” means “Proper planning prevents poor performance”. Reframe: Reframe how you see things to stop the stressor from coming in as a discomfort. Practicing gratitude changes the way you see life. The tools you will put in your toolbox are going to be unique for you. Notable quotes: [27:15] “Stress plus time equals wisdom.” [27:17] — Andrew [27:35] “It's not the stressor that causes the stress, it's your reaction to the stressor. If you accept the stressor, you can be surrounded by stressors and not be stressed.” [27:46] — Andrew [30:15] "A setback is a setup for a comeback."

If you're tired of having a constant tug of war with yourself over food, you've started a new diet every Monday since you-can't-remember-when, and want to learn how to eat the damn chocolate without all the worry, stress and regret. I've got something extra special for you. I'm hosting a FREE masterclass on Thursday, September 20th 2018 @ 8pm EDT / 5pm PDT. We can get pretty stuck in our ways, especially when it comes to food.  When this happens it’s tough to figure out how to change the way we eat, and how to find our way out of the cycle of starting a new diet every Monday morning only to find ourselves with zero willpower around that bag of chips by the following weekend. I’m going to be sharing my BRAND NEW 3 life-changing secrets to Conquer Your Stress, Willpower, and the All-or-Nothing Mindset to Quit Dieting Forever, and I’m SO FREAKING EXCITED to jump into this with you! There have been a lot of requests for a deep dive into this topic, because so many women come to me struggling with cravings, beating themselves up for feeling guilty about what they eat, tired of being super restrictive and not trusting themselves around food. If this is you, you’re not going to want to miss this masterclass.  Plus, I’ll be answering ALL questions live!   BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD I don't actually use the term intuitive eating in practice for the most part, because I think the term itself can feel discouraging. It implies that you should already have all the knowledge you need to learn how to eat well for your body.  And while this is technically true for some, for anyone starting on their journey with food or trying to figure out what to change, overwhelm from the term itself is not the place to start. However, once you can get to a place where you've truly built the foundation of learning what works for your unique body, the concept of intuitive eating might be a good fit for you. In this workshop-style episode of the Room to Grow Podcast, I break down what intuitive eating means, the main principles it stands for, and how to start introducing it in your own life. Plus, we're going over7 super specific ways to learn to actually listen to your body, which will help you figure out how to ditch the diets, quit the all-or-nothing mindset around food, and truly love how you eat.   DON'T MISS... Don’t forget about the FREE live masterclass for my 3 life changing secrets to conquering the all-or-nothing mindset around food on Thursday, September 20th!  Grab your spot here. Want to talk more?  The Room to Grow Podcast Facebook groupis a judgement-free safe space to open up, and I'd love to welcome you in with the other amazing women in the group.  It's a great place to go for a little extra support, and I'm going to be talking about anxiety and mental health more often in there.  See you over there!   REFERENCES Find full show notes including all resources mentioned in the episode at emilygoughcoaching.com/028 roomtogrowpodcast.com If you liked this episode, you'll get so much out of this previous episode:  Room to Grow Podcast, episode #17 - Rest for Success & How to Manage Metabolism with Dr. Jade Teta

An only child, she watched her mother suffer with cancer for nine years, and observed her father as devoted caregiver. Finding outlets in theatre and dance, Kathy came west to forge a career as an actress. Along the way, she discovered healing modalities, became a massage therapist, and shares her gift of finding what her clients' real problems were beyond their presenting symptoms. She continued to pursue higher learning and advanced degrees.  Kathy Gruver received a PhD in Natural Health and has authored Body/Mind Therapies for the Bodyworker and Conquer Your Stress with Mind/Body Techniques.
