Podcasts about counterclockwise

Prof Langer's book : https://amzn.to/3WW7UPg Prof Ellen Langer also known as the Mother of Mindfulness, became the first woman to receive tenure in psychology at Harvard University, she has spent the last forty-five-years researching mindlessness and mindfulness. She has published hundreds of articles and numerous bestselling books including her latest, The Mindful body. Her research and books focus on the illusion of control, mindful aging, health, stress and decision-making. She is very much a believer in the idea that the mind and body are unified and not separate as has been the conventionally accepted concept underpinning western medicine. In this episode Prof Langer determines what she means when she uses the term mindfulness and how it differs from the concept that many people believe it to be. We hear what prompted her to study mindfulness in the first place. Throughout the interview Prof Langer gives examples of the groundbreaking research she has performed, including the famous Counterclockwise study which looked at what effects turning back the clock psychologically would have on an older adult's physiological state. We talk about the power of mindset, perception and we hear about the impact mindset had on the physiology of chambermaids. Expect to learn why Professor Langer believes the mind and body are one entity. We hear about mindlessness and learn Professor Langer's thoughts on probability, the pointlessness of making predictions and how best to make decisions. Professor Ellen Langer is a titan in the field of psychology, I was so honoured to have her on the podcast, I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did. https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/pe...https://www.ellenlanger.me/ Music : Credit purple planet music Music used is Purple planet Music Order Happy Habits for Mind and Body Audiobook: https://rb.gy/h5jjjg Order Kindle copy of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://amzn.to/4c9T38f Order US paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://amzn.to/4bxczeT Order UK paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://rb.gy/jtfea5 Listen to all previous podcast episodes of the Happy Habit Podcast via these podcast platforms : Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast...

It's the New Year and many of us are interested in changing habits. Or we think we are… Changing habits can be hard. The question might be, should we be interested in creating habits? We have 60-70,000 thoughts a day. Unfortunately, 90% of them are the same as yesterday. We seek habits, Atomic Habits the book by James Clear, has been at the top of the charts for over five years. Yet, Dr Ellen Langer, author of CounterClockwise and Mother of Mindfulness, a professor at Harvard, says habits might be the worst thing we do. We're no longer aware of our surroundings. She isn't talking about yoga and meditation. She was talking about being aware. By consciously focusing on noticing. What did you notice today if you drove to work? What did you notice on your walk? We're not mindful at all. I'm guilty. I used to preach to university students, no ipods during class. I'd send them out on a walk or run or have them do their mile fitness test without it. Most thought that was awful. Now I often catch up on a podcast or training. When I received an ipod as a gift downloaded with hundreds of my favorite artists and began using it, I was hooked. Shortly after I realized that I was in the middle of a 6 mile run and the battery died. I stopped dead in my tracks and wondered how I'd make it home. Twenty-five years of running with nothing but my thoughts and then I can't move without it. Questions We Answer in this Episode: How changing habits is hard- [00:21:05] What your personality really is - [00:21:40] What is association vs dissociation - [00:11:40] Who do you need to become to have the results you want - [00:38:41] Changing Habits is Hard Thanks to Personality Actions start with thoughts. Our thoughts produce feelings. If we think that exercise has to be hard, then exercise becomes torture, eating differently is deprivation, or going to bed earlier is missing out. It's those thoughts that create feelings, feelings motivate actions. Keep saying “that's just me” then you'll keep being the way you are now. That gets you the results you've been getting. Vs Adapt to the things that will get you what you want. You won't be able to keep doing and thinking the same thing. Take a woman who wants to lose belly fat, sleep better, and build stronger bones. If she's accustomed to nightly cocktails, those drinks may feel like a part of her personality. Even knowing the health benefits of cutting back, she may struggle to stop because her environment and habits reinforce her behavior. The same goes for habits like avoiding exercise, attending muscle-wasting bootcamps, or clinging to diets that give short-term wins but long-term setbacks. These habits feel safe because they're familiar, even when they don't work. But you might not be motivated about changing habits because they've become your personality. If it feels safe, It's what you know. Changing feels unsafe because it disrupts comfort zones. Internal resistance arises when automatic habits take over, like reaching for coffee without thinking or defaulting to social norms. External resistance shows up when family or friends resist your changes, making it easier to stick to old patterns. Thoughts create feelings. Feelings drive actions. And familiar—even if it's struggle—feels safe. Recognizing internal and external triggers is the first step to breaking free and creating the habits that align with your goals. Change starts in your mind. The Path to Changing Habits May Not Be the One You Think I want to leave you with two thoughts. First, maybe changing habits isn't the goal. Reaching goals means not repeating what's gotten the same results. Who do you need to be to have what you want? What messages are you telling yourself? What would someone where you want to be say? Second, maybe it's time to upgrade your system, like a phone or laptop. What if you're operating on comments from years ago—told you're not smart, must work harder, or it's safer to stay quiet? What if you still believe things must be hard to earn what you want? Decades later, you say, “I'll just work harder” instead of considering “different.” Asking, “What if it were easy?” changes everything. What if you spoke up for what you need, skipped what doesn't serve you, and said no unapologetically? Just consider what you likely already know to be true about yourself. There's a juggling act between changing habits and having a true awareness, a mindfulness in every day. What haven't you even dreamed that could be true of this coming year for you?

Having a better menopause experience alone ensures you increase longevity and your health span. Usually we talk about preserving muscle, reversing bone loss, and enhancing walking speed to do so. Today, it's a lot less sweat and breathlessness. but probably the hardest exercise I could ask you to do. Research shows that older individuals with more positive self-perceptions of aging, measured up to 23 years earlier, lived 7.5 years longer than those with less positive self-perceptions of aging. If you don't like what you see, change it. Change the people around you, change what you're doing or not doing. The research study consisted of 660 individuals aged 50 and older who participated in a community-based survey, the Ohio Longitudinal Study of Aging and Retirement (OLSAR). By matching the OLSAR to mortality data recently obtained from the National Death Index, the authors were able to conduct survival analyses. The findings suggest that the self-perceptions of stigmatized groups can influence longevity. If perceptions about aging are formed by the age of 6, you might want to consider that we've likely contributed to our children's and grandchildren's early death or improved longevity, one or the other. You and I have either helped them live longer stronger or believe the little things we've said, and I quote from people and potentially myself having said this: “I'm getting old,” which we don't usually say with a positive spin. This is most likely first said often at age 25 or at 30 when you have at least ⅔ or ¾ of your life left to live. “It's hell getting old.” -said at any age “Just you wait.” -said to younger women about trying to get or stay fit “Grandma is old, honey, you have to be careful.” “There's nothing good about it.” -in reference to getting old “So, that's when it happens/when things start falling apart.” “I am my mother.” But, how important are these offhanded, casual, lighthearted comments really? Increase Longevity Through Growth and a Positive Outlook A 2018 Plus One study found that the chances of dementia can be lowered by 49.8% if a positive outlook is maintained. Who do you surround yourself with? What are your own thoughts? Do you think about yourself in 20, 30 or 40 years? What do you see? How does it feel? What are you doing and who are you doing it with? Physical exercise and nutrition are the two most important of the tangible things you can do. Your mindset, however, is number one. Yes, you should move every day and we eat every day. We think 60-70,000 thoughts a day and 90% of those are the same as yesterday. We continue living the same pattern and change becomes hard. While preparing for a class reunion, I looked through old yearbooks filled with messages like, “keep being you” or “don't forget who you are when you go to…. [university].” In reality, we didn't intentionally do it, but that advice is some of the worst we could have given each other. “Keep changing and evolving, growing and becoming” would have been wise beyond our years but even teachers didn't write things like that. Increase Longevity With a Youthful Mindset Dr Ellen Langer, the Mother of Mindfulness, tells us that we will stay stuck getting the same results, changing very little, if those habits aren't changing WHO we are. Unless your best habit is to break habits that keep you doing and repeating thoughts that aren't getting you results, you'll continue on the path you're on now. Virtually, you won't change much. The reframing of anything is possible. You've probably done it. For instance, you may have had to run in high school for punishment if you lost or you made mistakes or talked too much in class. Running then was bad. As an adult you may have come to love running maybe because someone you loved or envied did it and seemed to enjoy it. Not eating for a long period of time seemed so difficult, it was like dieting, which has a negative connotation stemming from deprivation. But today we know not eating between meals and going 12 hours between dinner and breakfast without calories is positive, and that some often go 16 or more hours without consuming calories and call it intermittent fasting. So when I go in for a fasting blood test and all that means is I haven't eating after dinner and it's 7:30 and they ask if I'm fasting or the phlebotomist asks what I'm going to eat first, as if I must be starving, I'm always a bit surprised they refer to it as a hardship not to have eaten for 11 hours, while I was sleeping most of the time. A reframe, right? Dr Ellen Langer's well-known Counterclockwise study (there's a book by the same title) with older adults asked to pretend “as if” they were their younger selves for a short time. They were exposed only to music, periodicals, movies of the time they were younger and by the end of the week older adults who arrived using canes, moving slowly, could hear better, see better, were playing touch football. Simply by changing their thoughts about aging.

Denne episoden spilte vi nylig inn på 2 Vikings-podcasten. Det vi lærte av Ellen Langer har vært så verdifullt for meg at jeg også valgte å dele den her på Mentaltrener-podcasten. Ellen Langer er en anerkjent psykolog og professor ved Harvard University. Hun er vidt anerkjent for sitt banebrytende arbeid innen mindfulness. Langers forskning utfordrer tradisjonelle syn på aldring, helse og produktivitet, og hun har skrevet en rekke innflytelsesrike bøker og artikler. Nøkkelbidrag og områder av anerkjennelse: Mindfulness-forskning: Langers arbeid understreker viktigheten av mindfulness, definert som aktivt å legge merke til nye ting, noe som hjelper folk å holde seg til stede og engasjert. Hun skiller sitt konsept av mindfulness fra de mer meditative tilnærmingene som ofte diskuteres. Counterclockwise-studien: En av hennes mest kjente studier, utført i 1979, involverte eldre menn som bodde en uke i et miljø som minnet om 1950-tallet. Studien viste betydelige forbedringer i deres fysiske helse og kognitive evner, noe som tyder på at mentale tilstander kan påvirke fysisk helse. Bøker: Langer har skrevet flere bøker om mindfulness og relaterte emner, inkludert "Mindfulness," "The Power of Mindful Learning," og "Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility." Bøkene hennes er anerkjent for å gjøre psykologiske konsepter tilgjengelige for et bredt publikum. Sinn-kropp-forbindelsen: Langers forskning utforsker ofte forbindelsen mellom sinn og kropp, og viser hvordan endring av ens mentale tilstand kan føre til forbedringer i fysisk helse og generell velvære. 03:30 Ellen Langer: En pioner innen mindfulnes og bevissthet 09:57 Troens kraft: Hvordan forventninger påvirker helse og velvære 13:50 Nocebo-effekten: Når troen påvirker negativt 16:36 Mind-body enhet: Hvordan tro kan påvirke fysisk helse 18:08 Utfordrende tradisjonelle oppfatninger om aldring og helse 18:50 Å være mer mindful og mindre sikker 20:13 Betydningen av bevissthet i relasjoner 25:03 Hvordan vi oppfatter stress og tar beslutninger 34:43 Tilgivelse og positiv psykologi 45:53 Betydningen av valg og aksept av usikkerhet 46:21 Bedre beslutninger med heuristikker og placeboeffekt 47:34 Teknologi som verktøy, ikke som en erstatning 49:07 Balansere nervesystemet og bruk av HRV 51:28 Endre perspektiv for å håndtere depresjon 54:34 Tro på muligheter for å oppnå endring

In today's episode, we welcome Dr. Ellen Langer, a pioneering researcher and the first woman to become a tenured professor of psychology at Harvard University. Often referred to as the "mother of mindfulness," Dr. Langer has spent over four decades revolutionizing our understanding of the mind-body connection.   The bestselling author of books like "Mindfulness," "The Power of Mindful Learning," and "Counterclockwise," Dr. Langer presents ideas from her latest work, "The Mindful Body," revealing how our mindset can significantly impact our physical health and offering practical advice for leading a more conscious and intentional life.   Join us as Dr. Langer discusses her groundbreaking research, the extraordinary potential of mindfulness, and how embracing this approach can be a catalyst for profound personal transformation. This conversation is packed with insights that could change the way you think about health and well-being!   “When you have a notion of dualism, mind and the body, the main problem is how do you get from this fuzzy thing called thought to something material called the body? And without figuring that out, research had been sort of stalled for centuries. And then I started to think about it and I realized, well, mind, body, these are just words. And that if we put the mind and the body back together and see it as a single unit, then wherever we're putting the mind, we're necessarily putting the body. And you realize of all the things you can think about, the amount of control you have over your health becomes enormous.” - Dr. Ellen Langer   What we discuss in this episode: - The astonishing findings of the Counterclockwise experiment and their implications. - How satiation and fatigue are primarily psychological constructs. - What mindfulness is and how to practice it. - The difference between mindfulness and meditation.  - Overcoming limitations. - The impact of changing perceptions of aging on our biological age. - Stress and mindfulness.  - How practicing mindfulness can alter others' perceptions of you in a positive way.   Resources: - Dr. Ellen Langer: https://www.ellenlanger.me/ - Instagram: Dr. Ellen Langer, Ph.D. (@ellenjlanger) • Instagram photos and videos - https://www.instagram.com/ellenjlanger/?hl=en - Facebook: Ellen Langer - https://www.facebook.com/EllenJLanger/ - Dr. Langer's books: https://www.ellenlanger.me/home#book-s - The Mindful Body: The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593497945 ★☆★ Help us remove dairy from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/dietary-guidelines-for-americans-2025/ ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

If you've followed along whether on social or on this podcast, you know I talk about peptides and their benefits quite a lot. That's why I'm so excited for today's episode with Dr. Suzanne Ferree.    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, Dr. Ferree and I dive into several different peptides, their benefits, and new research that is evolving. We discuss the blood brain barrier, it's importance, and how to prevent it from becoming compromised. Some peptides, like BPC and TB4, may help mitigate damage from traumatic brain injury. Others, like VIP and GLP-1 agonists, can regulate circadian rhythm, improve gut health, and potentially benefit conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Join us as we discuss these peptides, and more!    Overall, this episode offers guidance on using peptides for various health issues, but also the importance of having healthy lifestyle habits before diving into peptide repair. Healthy lifestyle habits will support peptide efficacy, so it's where everyone should start.    Dr. Suzanne Ferree uses bioidentical hormones, peptide therapy, neural therapy, and regenerative medicine to treat patients with endocrine, mitochondrial, infectious, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Protecting and repairing the BBB is essential for optimal cognitive function. Several peptides can be used to support brain health in different ways. Some, like BPC and TB4, may help mitigate damage from traumatic brain injury. Others, like VIP and GLP-1 agonists, can regulate circadian rhythm, improve gut health, and potentially benefit conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. However, it's important to use these peptides under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional and consider individual factors like existing medical conditions. A holistic approach to brain health is crucial. While peptides can offer targeted support, it's important to combine them with other strategies like healthy diet, exercise, and stress management for optimal results.  

Dr. Ellen Langer is a trailblazer in psychology known internationally as “the mother of mindfulness.” She was the first woman to be tenured at Harvard in her field.

Prof Ellen Langer also known as the Mother of Mindfulness, became the first woman to receive tenure in psychology at Harvard University, she has spent the last forty-five-years researching mindlessness and mindfulness. She has published hundreds of articles and numerous bestselling books including her latest, The Mindful body. Her research and books focus on the illusion of control, mindful aging, health, stress and decision-making. She is very much a believer in the idea that the mind and body are unified and not separate as has been the conventionally accepted concept underpinning western medicine. In this episode Prof Langer determines what she means when she uses the term mindfulness and how it differs from the concept that many people believe it to be. We hear what prompted her to study mindfulness in the first place. Throughout the interview Prof Langer gives examples of the groundbreaking research she has performed, including the famous Counterclockwise study which looked at what effects turning back the clock psychologically would have on an older adult's physiological state. We talk about the power of mindset, perception and we hear about the impact mindset had on the physiology of chambermaids. Expect to learn why Professor Langer believes the mind and body are one entity. We hear about mindlessness and learn Professor Langer's thoughts on probability, the pointlessness of making predictions and how best to make decisions.

Julie Angel describes her multifaceted approach to movement, breath–work, and life as 'everything everywhere all at once,' revealing a seamless blend of creativity, transformation, and minimalism in her practices. "I'm really lazy. I'm a high performance slacker. And so it has to be simple and minimalist in doing it. If there's any practice where it's like: You need to buy all of this equipment, and you need to do all of these things, and you need a membership… I'm just like, no no that'll be a no. All of those things cause friction points for me, and I don't do them. So I mean there's a minimalism, a simplicity, a creativity, and an adaptability; which is why to other people it may seem very different that I I wear all these these hats which I'm equally multi-passionate about. But for me I'm like, same same. [ed: It's all the same.]" ~ Julie Angel, 2:50 Julie Angel and Craig dive into the worlds of movement, breath-work, and the emotional landscape of physical practice.

Mindfulness is a hot topic, but how many people even know what the term really means? To dive into it we have one of the world's foremost researchers on this topic. Ellen Langer has been researching mind-body unity for nearly half a century, and her work has influenced everything from behavioral economics to healthcare to positive psychology. We've cited her work on numerous occasions before, most notably the chambermaid study, as well as several studies led by students from her lab. This work generally centers on how our beliefs influence how our bodies respond to things we might normally assume are strictly biologically mediated. You'll hear quickly in this episode that we did not come to this conversation immediately agreeing on the applicability of mindfulness in all situations, but Dr. Langer presents compelling arguments for its advantages. Ellen Langer was the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard, where she is still professor of psychology. The recipient of three Distinguished Scientists awards, the Arthur W. Staats Award for Unifying Psychology, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Liberty Science Genius Award, Dr. Langer is the author of twelve books, including international bestseller Mindfulness, as well as The Power of Mindful Learning, Counterclockwise, and On Becoming an Artist. Her trailblazing experiments in social psychology have earned inclusion in The New York Times Magazine's "Year in Ideas" issue. She is known worldwide as the "mother of mindfulness." We discussed a large number of research studies in this episode, here are just a few of the most foundational and most frequently cited: Mind-set matters: exercise and the placebo effect, better known as "The Chambermaid Study," is a classic that demonstrates how our mindset towards physical activity directly influences its health benefits. Blood sugar level follows perceived time rather than actual time in people with type 2 diabetes is one of several Langer studies relying on rigged clocks to show how perceived time can be more influential than actual time, even on something as seemingly biological as blood sugar. Mind over milkshakes: mindsets, not just nutrients, determine ghrelin response shows that how we think about our food directly influences how it is digested and the nutritional value it provides.

In this episode, I join Ellen Langer for a discussion about mindful living and the ways it can impact health and wellbeing. We dive deep into the power of placebos, and how mindfulness can transform our relationships with others. From decision-making to healing and personal growth, we explore the ways a healthy mindset can counter the aging process. We also discuss the importance of prioritizing happiness over all else, and the strength it takes to live a full and exciting life.  Ellen J.

Ellen J. Langer was the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard, where she is still professor of psychology. The recipient of three Distinguished Scientists awards, the Arthur W. Staats Award for Unifying Psychology, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Liberty Science Genius Award, Dr. Langer is the author of eleven other books, including the international bestseller Mindfulness, as well as The Power of Mindful Learning, Counterclockwise and On Becoming an Artist. Her trailblazing experiments in social psychology have earned her inclusion in The New York Times Magazine's “Year in Ideas” issue. She is known worldwide as the “mother of mindfulness” and the “mother of positive psychology”. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Here we discuss her new book: "The Mindful Body, Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health." 

Professor Ellen Langer, better known as "the mother of mindfulness,” spent the better part of her 45-year career challenging widely-held assumptions about the power of our minds. Her famous "Counterclockwise" study, first conducted in 1979, showed it's possible to reverse the affects of aging in one week. In her latest book, The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health, she says our minds can make us more hopeful, speed the healing process, and even help us live longer. The key: remember your mind and body are one integrated unit. "Where you put the mind, the body will follow." Langer defines Mindfulness as being in the moment — noticing new things about yourself and the environment rather than assuming today will be the same as yesterday which, in turn, opens us to new possibilities. In this rapid-fire conversation with Melinda Blau, Langer talks about applying mindfulness to aging, grief, caretaking, and serious illness.  You can find Ellen's books on Amazon and her websiteSupport the show

“But it's also okay not to get it right. You know, people mistakenly think that they want perfection, say you're playing golf and you wish you could get a hole in one every time you swung the golf club. Well, no. There'd be no game there. You know, that if you want to do something where you're always winning, play tic tac toe against a five year old, four year old. So on some level we know we don't want that. And the problem is that much of school teaches us these absolute answers. We're graded. Most tests are designed to find out what you don't know rather than what you do know, which I think is a big mistake. So, we end up with a world where we think there are winners and losers.” If you've heard about a fascinating study that explores the power of the mind over the body, most likely it emerged out of the lab of Harvard Professor Ellen Langer—in fact, in 1981, Langer became the first woman ever to be tenured in psychology at Harvard. There, she studies the illusion of control, decision-making, aging, and mindfulness theory. She's responsible for the Counterclockwise study, published in 2009, where aging men recovered their youth, and Alia Crum's famous study on chambermaids and their understanding of their own health and wellness, got its start with Langer as well. She has a fascinating mind, in part because she is always, always willing to question our underlying assumptions about where we have control and where we don't. Now here's an important caveat: Ellen Langer is the mother of modern mindfulness—but she is not talking about meditation. No disrespect to meditators, but Langer is focused instead on attention and the power of thought on the physical body, not so much on controlling or emptying the mind. She is a force, and I was so honored to invite her onto Pulling the Thread. Let's get to our conversation.

On the Leading Learning Podcast, sometimes we get to talk with someone whose thinking and research have deeply influenced our work and lives. Such is the case with Ellen J. Langer, AKA the mother of mindfulness. Dr. Langer was the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard, where she is still professor of psychology. The recipient of three Distinguished Scientists awards, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Liberty Science Genius Award, Dr. Langer wrote the international bestseller Mindfulness, as well as The Power of Mindful Learning, Counterclockwise, On Becoming an Artist, and, most recently, The Mindful Body. In this episode, co-host Celisa Steele talks with return guest Dr. Langer about what mindfulness is (hint—it's not meditation), the ubiquity of uncertainty, mind-body unity, and attention to variability. They also discuss mindful contagion and how our perception (of time, of ability) changes what we're capable of.  Show notes and a downloadable transcript are available at https://www.leadinglearning.com/episode373.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and “The mother of mindfulness,” Dr. Ellen Langer discuss her latest book, The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way To Chronic Health. From this they explore how intentioned awareness paired with humility allows for a healthier mindset and body, how the perception of time impacts the effects of disease and age, the way to view tragedy and suffering so that we may conquer it through faith and hope, and the immense benefits found in carefully considering to what, where, and who you direct your attention. Ellen J.

Are you ready for ANDOR?? This 4th live-action Star Wars series airs the first three episodes on September 21, 2022, and we've been waiting almost two months to share our review with you!! We hope to answer a very important question - whether to cuss or not in the Star Wars universe.   This episode is broken up into two sections - the first is a spoiler-free section that contains an overview of the series, plus the various characters and places to know before you watch. This section also contains part of a Roundtable interview with Adria Arjona, who plays Bix Caleen. She shares some great insight into her character and the town of Ferrix. At 40:43, we get into the spoiler discussion which contains major plot points for the first three episodes. So make sure to listen only after you've watched all three.   ANDOR Synopsis    Created by Academy Award and BAFTA-nominated writer/director/producer Tony Gilroy, ANDOR takes place around five years before ROGUE ONE. This series answers the question: How does Cassian become a Rebel hero? ANDOR follows both the Rebel cells and Imperial Security officers to show what the galaxy and people were like between REVENGE OF THE SITH and A NEW HOPE. It's an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue.   Kathleen Kennedy, Tony Gilroy, Sanne Wohlenberg (“Chernobyl”), Diego Luna and Michelle Rejwan are the executive producers of the series.     Character Round-Up   Cassian Andor (Diego Luna)     A refugee from the planet Kenari, he has made his home on Ferrix for several years.

In Today's Episode… Toy Collection equals mother times therapy squared (T = mt^2). Fate gets Punk'D by Ashton Kutcher.

Thinking there was no way she would go into labor with her VBAC baby at 37 weeks, Emily and her husband traveled to a family wedding. It was only a four-hour drive away from her birthing place. It was just for one night. She'd be laboring for the first time. Even if labor started, she'd have plenty of time to get back home. Right? Thanks to her physical, mental, and emotional birth preparation, Emily was able to stay calm and present when her birth took a wild turn. She rode each wave gracefully and allowed her body to take over when it needed to.

This is Meagan and Julie with The VBAC Link and we are so excited, as always, to share with you another amazing story. We have our friend, Emily, today and she is going to share her VBAC story. She's actually in New York if I remember correctly and has quite the story to share, you guys. I kind of feel like we have a celebrity right now on the podcast because her story has seriously been featured everywhere. Like, seriously everywhere. People, USAToday, Inside Edition, Good Morning America, and yours truly, The VBAC Link here now. Julie: Almost right up there with them. Meagan: If we were as all of those platforms, then that would be really cool, but yeah. We are so excited to bring this story to you today. We are going to dive into her story really soon, but Julie has a Review of the Week, so we will hurry and do that, and then we'll dive right in. Review of the WeekJulie: Yeah, absolutely. I love it. I am so excited to hear this story. I love a good– type of story that this is. I almost gave a spoiler alert. This is my favorite type of birth story, so I can't wait to hear it. But yes, our review this week is from Kaytjtvgml on Apple Podcasts.Meagan: Alphabet soup there. Julie: It's called, “Thankful for the timing of this preparation tool! I have been listening to this podcast as well as following along with the Facebook group ‘The VBAC Link Community.'” Plug-in for the Facebook group.“I desired a VBAC right after having my elective Cesarean but just started off with a little hope and faith. Having tools and knowledge helps me sooo much mentally. I have learned and continue to learn from every episode. Each one makes me feel closer and closer to that victorious moment when my second baby is born vaginally. Even if things don't work in my favor, I still wouldn't trade this knowledge for anything. Hoping for a late June (or early July!)” Oh, that's like right now! “vaginal birth and to be able to share my story.”Well, we are so excited about your upcoming delivery, and definitely let us know how things go. If you are listening and you haven't had a chance to leave a review yet, drop us a review on Apple Podcasts, Facebook, or on Google. We just got a couple of Google reviews last week and that made my heart really, really happy. So if we have helped you in any way, please let us know. You can shoot us a message on Instagram or Facebook. I don't know. You can contact us in all the ways. We love hearing from you and we love knowing how we have helped you along your journey. So thanks so much “Kaytjtvgml” on Apple Podcasts and everyone else who has taken their time to leave us a sweet review.  Emily's StoryMeagan: Awesome. All right well, let's get into this story. I'm so excited about this story. Julie: All right, Emily. Do you want to take it over?Emily: Sure. Thanks for having me. I just want to say that I listened to The VBAC Link podcast a lot while I was pregnant and I am also a part of the Facebook group and all of that stuff. I actually bought the course as well. I had the book and all of that, so thanks for that. Julie: Yay. Absolutely. Emily: I think the best place to start is with my first birth because I won't go into too much detail with it, but I think because of that birth– obviously, I had the VBAC, but I think because of that birth, I don't know if I would have had the kind of experience I had if that makes sense. I think I had such a positive experience because it really lit a fire under me. I did so much more research and really prepared myself to the point where I just wanted this VBAC more than anything, so I really ended up having a positive experience.With my first, I was with midwives. I had a doula. I was planning unmedicated at a birthing center. I felt pretty educated and looking back, I honestly was. I did a lot of research. My doula was fabulous. We had a bunch of prenatal appointments. I was reading all of the books, watching documentaries, and listening to a ton of podcasts, so I felt really good about it, and then it turns out that my son was breech. For me, I desperately wanted to deliver vaginally. I was very comfortable assessing the risks and benefits of vaginal breech birth and I wanted to do vaginal. But unfortunately, when I found out and when I was due, which was right around Labor Day, anyone who was trained in vaginal breech birth was either on vacation, or they weren't accepting any more clients, or the hospital put a ban on breech births. At the time of my first birth, I didn't feel comfortable traveling more than four hours away at that point. So the best decision at the time was a planned C-section. I'd also like to mention that I did everything under the sun to try to get my son to turn including an ECV and it was not happening. I was seeing a chiropractor. I did lots of moxibustion. I was doing Spinning Babies and actually, even during the ECV, the doctor was able to turn my son head-down actually pretty easy. As soon as the doctor took his hands away, my son scurried back to head-up, butt-down. And then we tried it the other way. Counterclockwise, same thing. He just went right back into the same position. I am not sure why, but that did happen. With the planned C-section, I decided, “Okay, if I'm going to have a C-section, I want it to be the absolute most gentle, best family-centered C-section that I could possibly have. So I did advocate for myself quite a bit. I did have my choice of music playing and my husband had lavender oil that I was smelling. I was basically completely naked because I wanted my son to be on my chest as soon as he was born. They took him out pretty slowly because I wanted to try to have as much of a vaginal squeeze-type experience for him. We did delay cord clamping for about 90 seconds. They wrapped him in a warm towel during that and then put him on my chest so while they were sewing me up, he was on my chest the whole time which was great. I also did vaginal seeding with him and I had some expressed colostrum with me that I brought to the hospital that I used a little bit but he pretty much latched right when we were in the recovery room. My doula was able to come with me to the recovery room before I got to my main room. So all in all, a really great C-section.It was still an incredibly devastating experience which I think mentally was very isolating for me because to everyone else, it looked like a great experience. I healed really well. I had instant skin-to-skin and breastfeeding was going well. On paper, it looked like everything was fine. It was a planned C-section so I had a good night's sleep. We woke up, but I did miss all of the rushes of hormones. I missed the experience of giving birth vaginally which I desperately wanted. So it really was not the experience that I was planning on. Everyone's situation is different, but I think for a lot of people, a very common story is they didn't really do a lot of research. They didn't know. They just trusted their doctor. They walked into the hospital. There was a cascade of interventions, and then they ended up with an unplanned C-section. That's unfortunately very common for me. I was like, “I am at a birthing center. I have a doula. I know what I am doing.” So when I did have the C-section, it felt incredibly devastating. I don't know how to describe it, but it just felt like I did all of the work, and also, what I think made it really difficult was that I wanted to deliver him vaginally breach. I wasn't like, “Oh well, he is breech so that sucks. C-section is the safest route.” That's not how I felt. It may have been. There is no way to know. More than likely, it would have been fine to deliver him vaginally, so I just felt like I didn't have that experience. So I very much wanted a VBAC. So much so that when the surgeon was sewing me up, one of the nurses was taking pictures of my uterus and I was like, “Do a double-layer closure.” Even as she was closing me up, she was like, “You are going to get your VBAC. Don't worry. I'm doing great stitching. You're going to be great.” Because everyone in the room, including my midwife who was actually in the room with me during the surgery, all knew how badly I wanted a vaginal birth. So anyway, fast forward. I got pregnant when my son was two. We were team green this time because part of that was that I felt like it was no surprise to us with my first birth. I found out the gender and it was a planned C-section, and I felt that because I didn't have any of the hormones of labor, I just kind of went in for brunch or something or just an appointment, and then all of a sudden they were like, “Your baby is here,” and I wasn't feeling anything. I did want some element of surprise, so I thought, “Okay. Even if I don't get my VBAC and I have to do another C-section, at least I will have the element of surprise of finding out the gender.” In hindsight, my birth was plenty exciting and I did not need to find out the gender of my child.Moving forward, my pregnancy was totally fine. I had the same midwives and the same doulas, and I didn't get to really use them in labor the first time. They are great. I really like them. And from this pregnancy, some things that I was doing differently: I was very concerned about the positioning of the baby. I was seeing a Webster-certified chiropractor even before I was pregnant. She was doing (inaudible) and dry needling on my C-section scar, and really just making sure that I was in the best alignment and had the most space possible to have this baby get into the best position. Certainly, I don't want a breech baby, but even if the baby is head down, I wanted the baby in an optimal position for the easiest labor which ended up working. That worked really well for me. One other thing that I actually haven't mentioned when talking about this birth is that I was born with hip dysplasia and dislocated hips when I was born. It was discovered late, so I was put in a cast and then a brace, and then when I was in my twenties, I had something called a Periacetabular osteotomy which was a pretty intense surgery on my hips. So also, in the back of my mind, there is some asymmetry in my hips and I wasn't sure of the way my pelvis would move and flex during labor. So that was another reason why I really wanted chiropractic work during it. I also was doing Spinning Babies religiously. It's something that my doula mentioned the first time and I was like, “Yay. Okay, cool.” I didn't really do it too much. I was wearing heels all of the time. This time, I was very careful with all of the Spinning Babies stuff, never leaning back, and getting into the right position. So anyway, all of that is to say the pregnancy went super well and smoothly. I had a C-section with my son when I was 39 weeks and 1 day. Obviously, this was during the pandemic and I wasn't seeing a lot of people during the pregnancy. My husband‘s cousin was getting married in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We hadn't seen our family in a long time, so I thought, “Let's go out and go to the wedding. It's fine.” I live in Westchester, New York, so it's about a 3-3 1/2 hour drive from our house. The hospital where I was planning on having a VBAC with the midwives was in Connecticut, so from the wedding to the hospital is about fourish hours away. I thought, “First of all, I am only 37 1/2 weeks at the time of this wedding. The chances of me going into labor– it's possible, but it's not likely. I'm not super far along.” Especially since I was only 39+1 with my son and there were no real signs of labor. So I drove out to the wedding. I figured, “Okay. If I happen to go into labor on this one day, I will just be in early labor. We will just drive back and we will go to the hospital, or I will go home, labor at home for a little bit, call the doula, and then we will head over to the hospital when things are progressing.It seemed like a very reasonable plan because who has a baby in less than three or four hours for their first-time labor? That just seems like yes it's possible, but again, I was just trying to look at the statistics as well. How long is first-time labor? I'm thinking, “Okay, somewhere in the realm of 16-24 hours. Something in that kind of range.” Anyway, so we went to the wedding. It was great and super fun. We left. There was a hotel where we were where the wedding was, so we went back to the hotel probably around 11-ish at night and we were in bed in our hotel room at 11:30, so it was close to midnight. I maybe had fallen asleep for a minute. I felt like I had to pee which happens when you're pregnant, but I had just peed at 11:30 so I'm like, “How is it that I have to pee again?” But whatever. I stood up to go pee and I just felt all of this warm liquid rush out of me.My first thought, like a lot of people's first thought is, “Am I peeing?” But it wasn't stopping so then I felt like, “Okay. This might be my water.” I went to the bathroom, changed, tried to go back to bed and the water was still leaking. At that point, I was like, “Okay. My water has broken. This is definitely a thing.” The liquid was clear. I was GBS negative. There was no odor. Everything was good. Obviously at that point, no one had checked how dilated I was or anything, so I was not concerned about any kind of infection. Obviously, I was pretty much at term and I had good prenatal care with no concerns. There was no kind of panicking.So I woke up my husband around midnight. He was just sleeping for a second and I was like, “Hey, my water broke. I'm not really concerned. I'm not really having any kind of contractions. If contractions start, let's pack it up and head back, but this could be a day or two before contractions even begin and then once that happens, it could be another 16 to 24 hours.” So correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems like how it is when the water breaks and you are not going into labor immediately.Meagan: It happened with me, three for three.Emily: Yeah.Meagan: Every single time. I mean, with the third, I didn't really go into labor for over 24 hours.Emily: Yeah. That's kind of what I thought. Obviously, sometimes your water breaks and you're in labor, but I was thinking, “Okay. If my water breaks and then I am in labor, will just leave.”Meagan: Right.Emily: And then also, I'm in the middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania. I'm not going to go find an Amish midwife and run into her house or run to a random hospital where they know nothing about me other than I had a previous C-section and just be like, “I am not in labor, but my water broke.” That just seems insane.Meagan: I know. Yeah. A lot of the times, it's better to just chill and hang out and monitor your symptoms.Emily: Yeah and wait for labor to start.Meagan: For things to start, yeah.Emily: Granted, hindsight is 20/20. I should have just left, but I figured, “Okay. If this is going to be–” My water broke and I said, “Okay. Here we go. Contractions haven't started, but I have to get ready. I have to get my head in the game. This is going to be an adventure and I need to save my energy. I need to eat something. I need to try to sleep and just relax because this is going to be a wild ride. This is not the time for me to be awake and freaking out and all that.” So I told my husband basically all of that and I said, “Let's just try to get some sleep and we will wake up at 5:00 or 6:00 a.m.. We will just try to get a couple of hours and then we will drive early in the morning. There won't be any traffic and we will just head back when we are close or when it is a reasonable time in the morning like 7:00 or 8:00 a.m.. I can let our doula and our midwife know what's up and they can come in the morning if I am not in labor to see the midwives or whatever they want to do. My husband is half asleep and he was like, “Okay. I mean, I guess that sounds good. If the fluid was clear, let's just try to get some sleep.” All of the midwives and doulas that I have spoken to have been like, “Yes. That sounds very reasonable.” All of the general public is– you know my story went viral. I've had some comments here and there of people being like, “Why didn't you immediately scream and run into a hospital?” I just don't think that would have been the right decision for me. So anyways, I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't understandably.Meagan: Well, when your mind knows what's happening, you are like, “I can't go to sleep.”Emily: Yeah. So I was trying to fall asleep but I kept leaking fluid. It wouldn't stop and I didn't have diapers or anything with me, so the fluid is just leaking, and leaking, and leaking. I'm actually texting with one of my friends who has had two home births and she knows how badly I wanted this. She was like, “Girl, you need to pack up your stuff and get out of there. What are you doing? You are going to have this baby in the car.” I am like, “No. I am fine. It's fine.” I have all of these text messages of our conversation now with her. It is hilarious.Meagan: So funny, yeah.Emily: But again, I was just like, “I'm fine.” I also really understood the pain-fear cycle and I just was so committed to being “chill”-- I'm putting that in quotes– during labor and just being focused, and staying positive, and breathing, and not letting fear sneak in. I feel like that almost pushed me so much that I was in denial a little bit about what was going on.So anyway at some point, I think it was probably around 2:30 a.m.,, I am up and down every two seconds. My poor hotel room was covered in amniotic fluid. I went to the bathroom and there was the bloody show. I am like, “Okay. Here we go.” Still, no contractions but things are picking up. At some point, I am pooping a lot, TMI, and I am like, “Okay. Here we go. Another sign. We are getting ready.”Meagan: Yeah. Your body is preparing to begin labor.Emily: Yes and I was like, “All of these signs are good.” 3:00 a.m. hit, so this is three hours after my water broke and contractions hit. They hit hard, and fast, and heavy and it completely took my breath away. I woke up my husband and I said, “Hey, contractions started. We should go.”I had maybe two or three contractions at that point and he was like, “Okay. I am going to run to the drugstore. I will pick up some adult diapers because you are still leaking or whatever just to protect the car,” which again, in hindsight, is very funny. So he goes to get the adult diapers and I do have a thought in my mind. I remember panicking for a second and thinking in my mind, “Don't leave. Don't leave me.” But I was just like, “Okay.” He left and he was like, “You pack up the room,” and I was like, “Okay. I looked over at my make-up, because we had just gone to a wedding, so I had my bra, and my dress, and my fake eyelashes, and my makeup and clothes are everywhere. It was a disaster. Meanwhile, these contractions are coming every four minutes, every three minutes and they are lasting a minute or more.Meagan: And strong.Emily: And strong. I am completely bent over on the bed having to breathe and I remember that one of the thoughts I was having was, “Oh my gosh. Is this early labor? If this is early labor, I can't do this.” I was like, “No.” I shooed that thought away. I was like, “Nope. We are doing this. It's happening, so get on board. We are doing this.” At on point as I am throwing everything into my suitcase, I stumble into the bathroom because I was jumping out of my skin and I felt like I needed some relief, and so I turned on the tub. I was like, “Oh, I will just get in the shower or the tub for a minute just for a second,” and then the other side of my brain was like, “Emily, you cannot take a bath. Get your crap and go. You don't have time for a luxurious bath in this hotel. You have to get going.” So I had those two sides of my brain chatting with each other the whole time.I will say one of the things that I found incredibly helpful–  I mentioned a Webster certified chiropractor and having a very supportive team. I had my midwife, my doula and really educated myself so I didn't have fear. Not necessarily in advocating for myself which of course, education is good for that, but also, I feel like the more you know about birth, the more normalized it is. I think if you don't know anything about it, there is a certain level of fear of the unknown. I was very much in that world. A lot of my friends have had home births so I'm kind of in the universe, so birth did seem very normal to me. I don't know if normal is the right word, but borderline uneventful. It is a very natural process most of the time.Meagan: Right.Emily: Where things most of the time go well. So that was kind of my mindset but the other thing I think that is incredibly important that I would like to mention is that I was using the Gentle Birth App for meditations during my pregnancy. I really doubled down on it the last couple of weeks. I was doing meditations and then about a week before this wedding, I downloaded their contraction timer which just came out. It was a new app. It was the same woman talking through the meditations, but it is with a contraction timer so you press the button when a contraction starts and it's a woman's voice. I couldn't tell you what she said now, but it was all sorts of calming, wonderful things, and you turn it off and you rate the contraction. I forget how they label it, but it's mild, medium and I forget. Intense might be the wrong word but it is three different levels. I just kept rating them as the lowest level because I was like, “It's fine. This is fine. We are good. Everything is good,” and I kept rating them as mild even though I am completely doubled over. I am having to breathe through them and can't talk.So my husband comes back. We are in the car at 4:00 a.m.. So at this point, it was an hour from when my contractions started. My water broke at midnight. So I was in labor for an hour at that point. We get in in the car. I am texting my sister-in-law. The other huge part of this– I feel like, with a lot of the headlines of my birth story, it's hard. I want to share my story because I feel like I had such a wonderful, and powerful, and empowering experience. I want to hopefully help people, and educate people, and make people feel confident that they can do this, but with sharing something so personal, you do put a target on your back and there are some other comments from people about different things. I had to deal with people just reading a headline and not knowing any of the details of why did I make the decisions I made.I was at this wedding. I was supposed to drive my sister-in-law back in the morning. There was a brunch in the morning for everyone and we were supposed to drive her back to New York with us. So in my mind, I felt like, “Well, this baby isn't coming for a day or two at least. I don't want to abandon my sister-in-law in Amish country. I will wait a couple of hours and then maybe we will wake her up at 5:00 or 6:00 a.m. and then we go.” That seemed very reasonable to me. So as I am doubled over, I'm trying to get into my husband‘s car. I have a Jeep that is bigger. He has a Honda Accord which is pretty roomy, but not roomy enough for labor. I don't know what car would be roomy enough for labor. But I was texting her and I was like, “Hey. Contractions started,” or something. “Everything is fine,” and then later, at 4:00 a.m. when I was in the car, I said something like, “This is getting really intense. We have to go. Sorry.” And then a half an hour later, I think she saw the text message. She starts calling me. She starts calling my husband. She was texting us and she was like, “What's going on? Are you guys okay? What's going on?” I couldn't text back or answer and my husband just kept ignoring the call. This whole time, I am using the contraction timer not so much to time the contractions, but more for the meditation that went along with it. I was in the car in the front seat for a little bit, and then at some point, I moved to the backseat. But I ended up laboring in the car. We were driving for an hour and 45 minutes. That is the other part of the story that I think—Meagan: That sounds miserable.Emily: It was miserable. Yes. It's so funny because when I listen to these podcasts with any kind of birth story and people talk about how, “I had to go into the car to get to the hospital.” They say that the first intervention is moving spaces when you are laboring and they are like, “That car ride was the worst.” I am like, “Oh yeah? How about almost 2 hours of it?” I mean, not that it's a competition of whose labor sucks, but it's very different– spoiler alert– having a baby in the car versus laboring in the car for hours. So anyway, I was in the front seat for a little bit. At some point, I was like, “I have to get out. Pull over. Pull over.” I sat up for a little bit and went to the backseat but this whole time, I was listening to the app. Also, I am not sponsored at all. This is just for a reference. I was just breathing and I was really focusing on everything that I learned. I was relaxing my jaw. I was doing low moans, nothing high-pitched. I was doing lip trills, like horse lips, when things were getting more intense. For some reason actually, keeping my eyes opened was better for me. At the time I felt like, “Oh, let me close my eyes and go inward,” but that almost made it more intense for me, so keeping my eyes open was helpful. However, I will say that at one point, I think it was probably right before transition or during transition, it was incredibly intense. I had those two sides of my brain talking. It was so intense and still, I was never screaming. I was never really loud. In my husband's defense, it just seemed like I was hanging out in the backseat just going, “Ohhhh,” for two hours. So I remember that it got really intense and one side of my brain was saying, “Okay. Your options are, you can open the door and throw yourself into traffic or you can just ride these waves and this is just what it is.” And I just thought, “Okay. This is just what it is. Obviously, I am not throwing myself into traffic, so I just have to breathe. I just have to breathe. I don't have to do anything. My body is doing it for me. I just have to breathe. This isn't going to last forever.” I think that at one point I said out loud to my husband, “Remind me that there is a baby at the end of this,” because I was so in it. I couldn't even really remember that I was in labor and there was a baby. It was just a tornado that was happening. Also sorry, the story is jumping around, but again in hindsight, I was having prodromal labor for about a week or two before this night.Meagan: So plug-in, sometimes a history of prolonged prodromal labor can result in a precipitous birth. I'm going to throw that out there.Emily: Ah, good to know.Meagan: When our doula clients have prodromal labor for weeks or even for a week, it is like, “Okay. When things seem to turn, we need to be on full alert.”Julie: That was how mine was.Emily: That is so interesting.Julie: By the time I realized it was real and by the time things actually shifted, it was less than three hours before she was born. My prodromal labor was 22 days. It was awful.Meagan: Anyway, keep going. So you had prodromal labor–Emily: I was having prodromal labor and again, I was in denial. At one point, I actually took a Pepto-Bismol. That's how strong of denial I was in. However, at one point it was happening so much, especially at night. The waves were coming every 15 minutes. I could time it, like set my watch to it, and then they were coming consistently every 10 minutes. I was having a contraction about every 10 minutes but it was only lasting 30-45 seconds. That was happening not every single night but every couple of nights for two weeks before this. I just kept ignoring it because it just felt like period cramps.Meagan: Kind of stagnant and never really progressed in a forward motion.Emily: Yeah. It was never at a point where I was like, “Here we go.”Meagan: “Here we go,” yeah.Emily: It was kind of just like Braxton Hicks but more intense.Meagan: I don't know though. Even when things are seeming, “Here we go,” you didn't respond like, “Here we go.”Emily: No.Meagan: I totally get what you are saying, but I am just joking. You have a really strong pain tolerance or discomfort tolerance.Emily: Yes. Even in the throes of labor, again in my defense, I still thought I was in early labor because labor started at 3:00 a.m., and here I am and it is 5:00 a.m. in the car.Meagan: Right, yeah.Emily: That baby isn't coming out of me now. That is insane. Of course, you hear of stories like that on podcasts once in a while. You are like, “Well, that is a crazy story. Obviously, statistically that will not happen to me. I'm going to have the normal, long labor that stalls that I need to do curb walking for. That is going to be me because that is the majority or at least that is what it the majority seems like. I did not think I was going to have a precipitous birth. Again, sorry. I am ruining this whole story but I am sure if there is a title on this episode, people already know.Meagan: I don't think you are ruining it at all.Emily: Thank you. Long story short, there was another point. Oh and it's contraction timer, but you also get it saved in your phone so I actually have a printout and a saved PDF of all of my contractions, and the times of them, and how long they were, and how I rated them. I was timing my contractions up until five minutes before my daughter was born, so that is how much of in denial I was that I was still timing my contractions when I'm literally pushing.Meagan: Still thinking it's early, yes.Emily: Yes, yes. I texted my doula at some point because I knew that she kept her phone off and that if we needed her to answer in the middle of the night, we call her from this other number. But in general, she kept her phone off so I figured, “Okay. I will text her and if she happened to be up, she will see it.” I just let her know what was happening. She called us and I couldn't talk at that point but my husband was talking to her. At that point, it was maybe 5:00 a.m., 5:15 a.m., maybe two hours into labor and we were still somewhere out of Pennsylvania or maybe somewhere in New Jersey. We were chatting. Well, I wasn't chatting but he was chatting, “Okay, maybe we will meet at the house. Maybe we will meet at the hospital. Maybe we should meet at the house and pick up the bag, and labor a little bit there and see how we feel.” That's where my mind was. I thought we had time to get from where we were in New Jersey all the way back to Westchester, New York, labor and hang out, grab my bag, maybe eat something, and then go to the hospital and labor there. So that's where I was.Meagan: I keep giggling, but that's where you were. That's where your mind was. You believed that's where you were.Emily: Yes.Meagan: As a doula, that's like, “Pedal to the metal! Let's have a line of cops to follow. Let's get there.”Emily: Yes and in hindsight, looking at my contraction timer, it was every three minutes or less for like a minute, a minute and a half long the whole time. At one point, I was rating the contractions moderately which were at a middle zone when they were incredibly intense. I was like, “Oh. These are a little stronger,” during the time, but I wasn't going to throw myself into traffic. At one point, I think it was 5:15 AM. I have the exact timeline because of that PDF from the timer, but somewhere around there I was like, “I have to get out. I have to get out of the car and pull over.” So my husband pulled over and I stood up as soon as I stood up, it felt so nice to just stand and move because remember, I'm in the back of a Honda Accord with a gigantic toddler car seat next to me Also, my toddler was with my parents in New York. He was not in the car. But it was a huge, empty car seat, so I really did not have a luxurious amount of room. Also, mentioning the position that I was in– so I was behind the driver's side. I had my right leg on the floor. My left leg up on the seat. I don't know how you would describe the position, and then I had my left arm holding the dry cleaning bar. So I was holding myself up and I was consciously thinking, “Get off your tailbone. Get off your tailbone. Let your pelvis open. You need flexibility here. Don't sit on anything.” So I was up on my side, my right hip whole time. At some point, my thinking brain was turning on and I was like, “Okay, why don't you lean over the car seat, and get on all fours, and lean your arms over the car seat so your hips can really open up,” but every time I tried to move it all, I just couldn't. It was too much. It was too intense. I was basically just frozen and stuck in that position the entire time. So around 5:15, I get up out of the car. I'm moving around. I put my wrist on the top of the car and I had to remember that being a very nice moment because the car was cold. I was sweating and disgusting and it felt so nice to have the cool car on my wrists. I will also say at that point, I took off my adult diaper just instinctually. I think I just needed to take it off and I was pushing. This is, I don't know, like 5:20-5:30, something in there. I felt myself pushing and I felt like, “Oh my gosh. Why are you pushing if you are in early labor? And even if it is not early labor, there is no way you are at a 10.” So I just thought, “No Emily. You cannot push. Stop pushing.” I just thought that maybe it was so intense that my body was just tightening up because it was so much and I just need to relaxed. I felt like the answer was just to relax and don't push. Relax. Breathe through it, so I was just relaxing my jaw by doing lip trills and low moans as I'm trying to push and just relax through it.Which again, in hindsight, just opened me up more. I was concerned about whether I was going to be pushing too early and be swollen. I was thinking like, “Oh my gosh. I'm going to get to the hospital and I'm going to be so swollen,” because I would have been pushing before 10 centimeters, and they were going to try to give me Benadryl, and I was going to be going backward in dilation and I was like, “Okay. I have to not push. Don't push. Don't push.” But of course, my body was just pushing for me at that point. I had no control over pushing or not pushing or anything. All I was doing was breathing and in heavy denial at that point. My husband didn't realize that I was pushing either. So that point, I willed myself to get back into the backseat because I thought like, “Okay. Things are really ramping up in this early labor. I have to get back to my house and/or the hospital with my midwives, and my support team, and my doula, and everyone. Also for reference, we did call the midwives at some point. I think it was around when we got back in the car. I didn't want to call in the middle of the night. I didn't want to wake them up. I just figured, “Okay. We will call them when we are close to Connecticut. When we are close to the hospital, we will give them a heads up and say, ‘Hey. We are an hour away' or ‘Hey, we are 45 minutes away. Just want to let you know.'” That seemed very reasonable to me. It didn't really make sense in my mind to call them in the middle of the night to be like, “Hi. We are four hours away.” I don't really know what they would have told me.So again in hindsight, with my water broke, I should have called them and they probably would have said, “Hey, because you are so far away, you should leave now.” But at the time I didn't wanna wake them up. So I just figured, “I've got this. It's fine. I will call them when something is happening.”Meagan: When something is happening.Emily: Yes. So anyway, I am in the backseat and I am, in hindsight, definitely pushing and all of a sudden– this is a little before 5:45 a.m.. So I got into the car at 3:00 a.m. and this is a little less than two hours and 45 minutes after labor started and about an hour and 45 minutes in the car. I suddenly just say, “Pull over. Pull over.” My husband was like, “There's nowhere to pull over. We are on the highway. There's no shoulder. I will pull over at the next exit.” I reached down and I said, “There is a head,” because I felt the top of a baby's head. He was like, “Okay.” So he just immediately pulled over, or he was trying to pull over, and then a couple of seconds later, her entire body just shot out of me. I caught her and I was holding her onto my chest. I just said, “There is a baby!” My husband looked in the rearview mirror and I am just holding this squishy, little baby. It just happened incredibly fast. It went from, “Pull over,” “There is a head,” “There is a baby,” in less than a minute. I mean really, my body was pushing for me. I was not doing anything.Meagan: True fetal ejection.Emily: Yes. I knew that it was a thing, so it was really cool to feel it and to get into it. Also, I am laboring at night so it was a dark environment. I was by myself. I felt as comfortable as you can in a car and I was watching the sunrise, so that was kind of nice. Just to jump back, one of the things when I was saying I was going to throw myself into traffic, not to scare anyone, it's not that bad. It's very doable. But at the time, I had that momentary transition, looking back, of that “I can't do it” moment, but I did rally pretty quickly until like, “No. You have to. You don't have a choice.” I do remember looking at the GPS on the screen because where I was leaning over, I could see the screen. It said I had two more hours or some ridiculous number like that and I remember thinking, “No. No, no, no. I can't. There cannot be two more hours of this. I absolutely cannot do this for two more hours. There's no way.” And then I thought, “Okay.” Again denial, I was like, “I'm going to pretend like I didn't see that,” and then I just looked out the window and watched the sunrise. I was like, “That GPS doesn't exist.” I kind of had my eyes like those magic eye books. I don't know their name. Do you know what I'm talking about?Meagan: Yeah I do, but I don't remember the name of them either. Like iSpy but not.Emily: Yeah. Not iSpy, but the magnifying glass where you put—Meagan: Yeah, not iSpy but that is coming to my mind.Emily: You put your nose to the page, and you slowly move it, and your eyes kind of fuzz, and then you see a different image? I was doing that with my eyeballs with the screen. I was like, “Nope. Can't see that screen two hours ahead.” So anyway, I caught my daughter and eventually my husband pulled over. I mean, I did it but it was crazy. I remember thinking, “Oh my god. What even happened?” I don't even know what I was thinking. It was like, “What even just happened? That was insane.” So I think we called 911 because after the fact with the birth story, Inside Edition was one of the news outlets that reached out. They were able to obtain the 911 audio, so we actually have that.Meagan: That's awesome.Emily: I am happy to send it your way. But we have the 911 audio and you just hear me in the background saying, “Hi. Hi baby. Hi baby. Can you cry for me? Can you cry? Hi,” and I am trying to get her to cry because she wasn't. So I am rubbing her back and I somehow had the wherewithal to grab a towel from the hotel room and wrap her. She was skin-to-skin with me but I put a towel over her over us. I am rubbing her and trying to get her to cry, and it probably took a minute or two minutes for her to cry. She was breathing. Her body was moving. I could see her lungs expanding, but it took a little while for her to cry.One of the things that happened that I didn't– I am careful with where I share this because the birth was so wonderful and I have such fond, wonderful memories of it so I don't want to add any kind of fear into the story. However, I do want to be authentic and truthful about it so one thing that actually did happen was when she was born– and I don't know when this happened in the process– but I am holding her and I look to see the gender of the baby. At some point, I looked and I said that it was a girl, but who cares? Because at that point it was, “What even just happened?” But I looked down and the umbilical cord had snapped. So on her, there were maybe three inches and then the rest of the umbilical cord was somewhere inside of me.Meagan: Attached to the placenta still?Emily: Yes.Meagan: Okay, yeah. But still. It still snapped and was not clamped.Emily: Not clamped but it wasn't bleeding.Meagan: Bleeding out, yeah.Emily: It instantly clotted on both sides so I wasn't hemorrhaging at all. That was something I was checking. I looked down. “Am I losing blood? Am I good?” And I actually didn't. I barely lost any blood.Meagan: Great. That's good.Emily: So I was fine. She was breathing. I'm not a doctor, but she was breathing. She was pinking up. She started crying. The umbilical cord wasn't bleeding but that is– I was a little in shock but looking back, that isn't ideal for sure. And unfortunately, the 911 operator, although very sweet, had no idea what to say or do which is what I felt at the moment but then afterward I was like, “I don't know. Maybe I was just out of it,” but then now that I have the 911 audio, I was listening back and I had no idea what was happening. He was literally like, “Oh. Okay. Well, I guess you already had the baby so congratulations. I guess you did that part. Let me get my sheet. Why does my sheet say to do? Okay. Can you clamp the cord?” And I am like, “The cord snapped.” He was like, “Okay. I don't know.” You just hear me saying, “Is someone coming? Is someone coming to get us?” I know. It was wild. And basically a minute into that incompetent conversation, my husband was like, “Okay. We're going to call our midwives now.” He was like, “Okay. Congratulations. Help is on the way.” Because we're not gonna hang out on the phone with someone who literally has no idea what he was talking about, although very sweet.Meagan: Yeah. Yeah.Emily: So we called the midwives but someone was going to call us back. I don't know. I think it went to an answering service and I'm not really sure what happened there, but we called our doula and she was like, “Okay. Crank up the heat. Get the blanket. Warm her up.” You know, giving us all these directions. I think we gave her a heart attack for sure because we talked to her twenty minutes before then and we were like, “Maybe we will meet at the house and eat a meal together.” And then we were like, “Hi. The baby is born.” And she was like, “What? What is happening?” So yeah. That is basically the story but she is all good. My daughter is all good. She was fine. I was fine.Meagan: You were okay?Emily: Yep. I was doing great. She breastfed like a champ. We rode in the ambulance together and she was on my chest the whole time. Me and the ambulance workers– I was taking selfies with them and they were taking videos for me. I birthed my placenta in the ambulance and I have a video of that. One of the female EMS workers was like, “Yay!” So it was really chill. They wanted to give me an IV in the ambulance and I said, “Why? I am done.” They were like, “Well, the hospital wants it.”Meagan: Yeah.Emily: I just said, “Yeah.” I declined that part and they were like, “Okay.” So I didn't get one. We just went to the hospital and I left 24 hours later and went home.Meagan: Oh my gosh. That's amazing. What a rush. Totally not expected and like you said, not out of the ordinary in a lot of things. You were like, “Yeah I'm taking my time,” and then boom bang bam, you have a baby. That is so awesome and so exciting. So exciting. I can't imagine being in that position but I am sure it would be quite the whirlwind.Emily: Yeah, and then looking back, I think it was about 15 minutes of pushing maybe?Meagan: Wow, yikes.Emily: Her whole body flew out and actually surprisingly, I didn't tear at all.Meagan: That's awesome. So awesome. Well, congratulations again. I know everyone has probably said, “Congratulations.”Emily: Thank you.Meagan: That's so awesome. So awesome to have you on the podcast and excited for the world to continue to hear your story.Emily: Thank you. I'm super passionate about birth and all of that stuff.

Join me for a summary of Madhur's lecture on the biomechanics and aligners, where he describes the fundamentals biomechanics of aligners, explains the reason for the shortcomings of aligners and his tips to reduce them. How do aligner work? Two approaches Shape moulding effect – shape driven Move position of teeth to ideal Invisalign 80% through shape moulding Attachments 20% force delivery Perpendicular surface with Invisalign When shape moulding is considered 2g/mm2 of stress, with attachments 20g/mm2, higher stress to aligner, which is a downside How to aligners treat malocclusions Deep bite “Water-melon seed effect” – squeeze a seed and it compression it moves left or right Squeezing through shape moulding effect Aligners can apply force through to the centre of resistance of the tooth Openbite Advantages in aligners when compared to fixed Draw bridge effect Relative extrusion through Retroclination 60% drawer bridge effect Harris 2020 Lever principle Autorotation effect 28% Harris 2020 Space closure Common lateral openbite in space closure, why this happens Equal moment to posterior and anterior segment during space closure Counterclockwise posterior segment, clockwise anterior segment = BOWING EFFECT Does not commonly happen in fixed due to archwire rigidity How good are aligners at moving teeth Root movement NOT OBSERVED! Space closure Extraction of 4 premolars - Dai 2019 Molars 2mm unplanned anchorage loss 6 degree molar tipping Incisors Retrocline 6 degrees more No incisor root retraction – uncontrolled tipping Root movement Conclusion: Roots cannot be moved with aligners such appliances cause tooth movement by tilting motion Zhang 2015 Why can't aligners move teeth as efficiently as braces? First principles based understanding Interplay of dumping and counterplay of moment = bodily tooth movement Braces – create AND CHANGE couple and counter couple through size of wire, material Aligner – cannot change material properties Material factors Stress-relaxation 80% of force lost after 100 minutes Fang 2019 AJODO Modulus of elasticity – ability to transfer energy Higher modulus – greater tooth movement Niti 45GPa, Aligner 1-2GPa Khoda 2013 Inferior in delivering energy Viscoelastic material Absorbing shock, dissipating energy in the form of heat Ideal for retainer – force dampener Biomechanics is the law – everything else is just a recommendation Madur's lecture in full available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycNokW1ojIY&t=3s&ab_channel=orthobites.org

Thanks for joining us! Want to know more about Calvary? Visit calvary-church.com to get connected. We are coming off a year like no other – the cancelled year. Work from home, church from home, no fellowship, no community – except by Zoom. Church services were cancelled but church was not cancelled! The mission of Jesus – to connect & impact - was not revoked, even though the strategies and the means changed. We revisited and revised our plans to ensure that the spiritual, relational, and physical needs of people were met. But things are now opening up and more people are beginning to return to Sunday morning services. As we move to the new normal, it’s a good time to remind ourselves about the purpose and importance of church. It’s also critical to ask what the church will look like on the other side of Covid 19. Some things won’t change and can’t change – following Jesus, the priority of the gospel, loving our neighbors; other things have changed and will change – the use of technology, increased flexibility, and creativity. What will the next season look like for Calvary Church? Join us as we explore the never-changing and ever-changing church of Jesus Christ.

Aging may be inevitable, but holding a negative stereotype about it is not. Research from Harvard psychologist Ellen J. Langer shows that we can actually turn the clock back in surprising ways through shifts in our expectations. Here’s a non-affiliate link to Langer’s book on mindful health.

Observations on shaming and celeb culture.

"After noon I rode up the Chewuck, counter clockwise. It was about 55F. I tore up FS 37 for a bit, but it got dark and foreboding so I turned around and crossed the river."

Ellen Langer is a professor of psychology at Harvard and one of the world's leading experts on the science of wellbeing, and what she refers to as the "psychology of possibility." Dr. Langer was first female professor to gain tenure in the Psychology Department at Harvard University, and is the the author of eleven books--including Mindfulness, The Power of Mindful Learning, and her Counterclockwise--and more than two hundred research articles. She has been described as the “mother of mindfulness” and through her work, Dr. Langer challenges us to overcome our mindless patterns, let go of false limits, focus on the process and notice all the wonders present in our lives.

She has been described as the “mother of mindfulness” and through her work, Dr. Langer challenges us to overcome our mindless patterns, let go of false limits, focus on the process and notice all the wonders present in our lives.

In our last +1, we revisited Ellen Langer at her “Psychology of Possibility” lab at Harvard to learn that words matter.    As you may recall, simply priming people with words associated with old age (via a crossword puzzle!) will cause them to walk more slowly to the elevator than those who weren’t primed with those words.   *rubs eyes*   One more time: Astonishing, eh?    And…   One more time: WORDS MATTER. A lot.   Langer shares that study and wisdom in her book Counterclockwise in a section in which she also talks about “placebos” and other truly fascinating studies.   Here’s how she puts it: “When we see mind and body as parts of a single entity, the research on placebos takes on new meaning and suggests we can not only control much of our disease experience, but we may also be able to extend our ability to gain, recover, or enhance our health.   Placebos often come in the form of a single word that captures a richer mindset. In one study I conducted with my students, we explored the mindset most of us have regarding excellent vision air force pilots have. All participants were given a vision test. One group of participants were then encouraged to role-play ‘air force pilots.’ They dressed the part and, in uniform, sat in a flight simulator. They were asked to read the letters on the wing of a nearby plane, which were actually part of an eye chart. Those participants who adopted the ‘pilot’ mindset, primed to have excellent vision, showed improved vision over those who were simulating being in the simulator and simply asked to read an eye chart from the same distance.”   WHAT?!   Just having people pretend that they’re air force pilots can improve their vision?   SERIOUSLY?   Yes.   That’s Today’s +1.   What’s YOUR “single word that captures a richer mindset”?   Let’s pop that mantra-placebo word all day Today.   And, if you feel so inspired, why not even dress the part as well?

In our last +1, we revisited Ellen Langer at her “Psychology of Possibility” lab at Harvard to learn that words matter.    As you may recall, simply priming people with words associated with old age (via a crossword puzzle!) will cause them to walk more slowly to the elevator than those who weren’t primed with those words.   *rubs eyes*   One more time: Astonishing, eh?    And…   One more time: WORDS MATTER. A lot.   Langer shares that study and wisdom in her book Counterclockwise in a section in which she also talks about “placebos” and other truly fascinating studies.   Here’s how she puts it: “When we see mind and body as parts of a single entity, the research on placebos takes on new meaning and suggests we can not only control much of our disease experience, but we may also be able to extend our ability to gain, recover, or enhance our health.   Placebos often come in the form of a single word that captures a richer mindset. In one study I conducted with my students, we explored the mindset most of us have regarding excellent vision air force pilots have. All participants were given a vision test. One group of participants were then encouraged to role-play ‘air force pilots.’ They dressed the part and, in uniform, sat in a flight simulator. They were asked to read the letters on the wing of a nearby plane, which were actually part of an eye chart. Those participants who adopted the ‘pilot’ mindset, primed to have excellent vision, showed improved vision over those who were simulating being in the simulator and simply asked to read an eye chart from the same distance.”   WHAT?!   Just having people pretend that they’re air force pilots can improve their vision?   SERIOUSLY?   Yes.   That’s Today’s +1.   What’s YOUR “single word that captures a richer mindset”?   Let’s pop that mantra-placebo word all day Today.   And, if you feel so inspired, why not even dress the part as well?

Mindfulness – It's a word that many people equate with meditation, but it actually is the simple process of noticing new things. Our guest, Dr. Ellen Langer, has conducted extensive research on the practice of mindfulness and insists that it can have enormous, profound effects. In this episode, she and host Bill Coppel -- Managing Director and Chief Client Growth Officer at First Clearing -- discuss how mindfulness leads us to be more engaged in whatever we're doing, which can have great application to the financial services industry. Dr. Ellen Langer is a Professor of Psychology at Harvard and has conducted extensive research on the illusion of control, mindful aging, stress, decision-making, and health. She is often called “the mother of mindfulness” and brings a wealth of insight to the topic. Dr. Langer's research on mindfulness demonstrates how we can find more enjoyment and engagement in our mundane, everyday behavior. She has found that the more mindful we are, the more we notice. And the more we notice, the more we connect. For financial advisors, this is a possible way to emerge triumphant over the current challenge of digitization, where the greatest value an advisor can offer is the value of connection. In this episode, we'll explore: The difference between mindfulness and intelligence How to change your behavior from being mindless to being mindful Why mindfulness changes the way you experience even the most mundane tasks How mindfulness can decrease stress and increase innovation What makes a mindful advisor better than a computer  Ways to contact Ellen: Website: ellenlanger.com Books: Mindfulness, The Power of Mindful Learning, Counterclockwise, Mindful Health and the Power of Possibilities, On Becoming an Artist, Reinventing Yourself Through Mindful Creativity   Disclosures:This content is provided for general informational purposes only.

Later that day, Charlotte gets a tour of the Sheriff’s home where she learns the truth about Jack’s seemingly dark past.

Several years ago, I learned about mindfulness the hard way. I was eating a cardiologist recommended diet that apparently wasn’t working for me and I failed to pay attention to any of the warning signs. The first person to draw attention to my mindlessness was the woman who is now my wife and co-founder at NBT. Only recently did I discover the decades of careful research on the simple practice of noticing, and how that can be both good for you and fun. My guest this week is Dr Ellen Langer, PhD, a social psychologist and the first female professor to gain tenure in the Psychology Department at Harvard University. She is the author of eleven books and more than two hundred research articles written for general and academic readers on mindfulness for over 35 years. Her best-selling books include Mindfulness; The Power of Mindful Learning; On Becoming an Artist: Reinventing Yourself Through Mindful Creativity; and Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility.

Roger Clyne of Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers chats with me on the first episode of Anywhere The Needle Drops of 2016! It started out as a brief plug for my favorite musician and his tequila crowd-funding and it ended up as a near hour-long conversation about music, creation, and...dogs in the home office. Roger and company are raising funds to help expand operations and reach for their Mexican Moonshine tequila. We talk about the campaign and we also discuss the 20th anniversary of The Refreshments album, Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy. This was a fantastic, unexpected conversation with a musician I've followed for those twenty years. You'll also get to check out two tracks from Roger's catalog, Counterclockwise from Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers Americano album before the conversation and, after, Mekong from Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy. Anywhere The Needle Drops is brought to you by Red Chuck Productions. You can support Red Chuck Productions on Patreon! The Anywhere The Needle Drops theme music is by Ethan W. Kampa and Jeremy Whetstone.
