Episode 297 Are you planning a vacation and want to stay alcohol-free but feeling unsure if you can manage it? I've been there too. When I stopped drinking, I struggled with the idea that a vacation could be enjoyable without alcohol. For me, alcohol and vacation were intertwined in my belief of what made a trip fun. It took one sober trip to realize that vacations could be just as enjoyable without alcohol. In this episode, I share seven of my favorite tips for preparing for a sober vacation, along with strategies to help you stay on track during and after your trip. What you'll hear: Why we associate vacations with alcohol and how to change the associations one trip at at time My first sober travel experience and what I learned The benefits I've experienced from traveling without drinking: Keeping my wits about me, longer (slow) days I remember, and not needing a vacation from my vacation. Seven tips to help you prepare for your vacation before you leave: 1. Define your purpose of the trip. 2. Get clear on what challenges you are concerned about to create a plan when/if they come up. 3. Communicate your intentions not to drink with a travel buddy or someone at home. 4. Focus on Nourishment 5. Invest in something to carry with you as a reminder of your intention to stay a/f. 6. Write down you reasons why you don't want to drink and make an “if this, then that” plan that you can carry with you. 7. Write a Dear Me letter to open when you return. In this letter, you will talk about how you experienced your vacation without drinking and how grateful and proud of yourself you are.   You are not alone if you're not that excited about alcohol-free vacations, but I want you to know that if you are choosing not to drink on vacation when you would normally - it is a badass move that can be life-changing.   If you need extra sobriety support, join us inside Team Alcohol-Free before enrollment closes on 7/1/24.

Anna L. and Elizabeth chat with Aerin Atinsky and Alexa Moses, two of the founders and directors of Dear Me, an affiliate program of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders.  They discuss: Why eating disorder rates have skyrocketed over the last several years, especially in the case of teens. What a teen or young adult can do if they are worried about a friend's eating behaviors, or know that their friend has an eating disorder.  How to handle a situation where someone's friend is talking about restricting certain foods or going on a diet. What parents need to hear if they are worried about their teen - either their eating or negative comments they've made about their body. Links:  Dear Me Program Website Sunny Side Up Nutrition Podcast  Lutz, Alexander & Associates Nutrition Therapy Pinney Davenport Nutrition https://thirdwheeled.com/ https://m8.design/ https://www.sonics.io/ About Dear Me: At Dear Me, we have identified the epidemic of struggles with body image, disordered eating, and eating disorders facing our youth today. Dear Me's vision is to change the mindset of generations to come by working to counteract the cause of these struggles. By starting from a young age, we take preventative measures to educate and support children who have experienced or have seen others experience struggles with body image, disordered eating, and eating disorders. We integrate programming into school curricula so we can support and educate students through non-isolating environments they won't feel singled out. Ultimately, we are for the youth by the youth with an education covering these topics in as many schools as possible across the world. By setting up various chapters of Dear Me using student voices, Dear Me serves as an international community of discourse, help, and support. Ultimately, Dear Me is a program that will provide education and support that will change the culture of eating disorders and body image today.

Dear You! On this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times an immigration activist and legal powerhouse teaches us how to write letters to the selves we intend to become. Hillary Walsh, President and Founder of New Frontier Immigration Law, explains how this simple tool can help us determine – and then manifest – the things we want to be, do and have. It starts with articulating a vision – then identifying the week-by-week, month-by-month steps necessary to make it a reality. It's exactly this kind of focused goal-setting that has driven Hillary's growing legal advisory firm and foundation. You'll learn how she transcended childhood abuse, as well as stints in foster care and lockup, to become a crusader for the rights of those without a voice – victims of domestic violence, human trafficking and a broken immigration system. Gratitude is at the root of Hillary's ambitious goal to empower marginalized people – the core mission that animates her whole team at New Frontier Immigration Law on even the toughest of days. Says Hillary: “The only way out of a ditch is not to dig more. It's not to have someone pull you out. It's up to you to levitate out.” Now there's a thought for your next motivational letter!Did you try our 60-second letter-writing exercise? If you'd like to share the thoughts you composed while listening to this episode, we'd love for you to send them to us via this contact.The short documentary at this link will give you the overview on Hillary's work and the passion she brings to immigration law.

Her longtime friend Lisa, a beauty pageant mentor who supported Hillary as a feisty teen-age competitor in pursuit of scholarship money. Decades later, it stands as “the most authentic demonstration of friendship and love” Hillary has ever known.Lonely at the Top: Bringing the intensity required to achievement and innovation can predispose judgment, projection and high expectations that not everyone shares.How Hillary Stays Committed: Ongoing goal-setting and targeted plans are key, as well as detailed letters to her future self that articulate concrete goals.New Frontier University: The platform, which will offer revolutionary access to education and skills, launches in the next six months.A Letter to Myself in Sixty Seconds:Investigate/Determine the things you want to be, do and have.Who do you want on your team five years from now?Imagine the gift you want to have cultivated five years from now.Include specific data and personal targets, then build backwards month by month, week by week.Speak your desires directly to the universe.Put it in writing: “Dear (Me), It's 2028 and I'm so glad I've been able to x,y and z.”New Frontier's Big-Picture Goals: To serve and support those who have experienced domestic violence and human trafficking.To compensate for shortcomings in the social welfare system.To provide options and a voice to undocumented people who are victims.To create a new line of defense for those who have suffered trafficking.Hillary's Ups & Downs:Challenge: Hiring and identifying partners has been an “intense learning journey.”Challenge: Losing confidence when senior hires “tank your leadership culture.”Victory: The funny, irreverent, high-energy team she has assembled.A Great Fix for Down Moments: Grab a piece of paper and jot down three things you have to celebrate and ask others around you to do the same. Try creating a dedicated Slack channel! You'll feel gratitude shift the energy!Parting Thought: If you feel like your team isn't working for you, then it's time to stop and take stock. Whenever you think your people are your problem, it's because you're out of alignment with your own core values! QUOTABLE“I hate pretending because authenticity is one of my core values.” (Hillary)“I've accepted that my life is going to be very out of balance. I think seeking balance is the enemy of innovation and achievement.” (Hillary)“I'm very dissatisfied, which is why I want to change so much and make a really lasting impact that outlives me.” (Hillary)“I don't need people to know my name when I'm gone, but I need the shit that I did now to matter in three generations.” (Hillary)“You're fighting for something really, really, really big and meeting resistance. And that resistance comes in the form of loneliness … self-doubt … Imposter Syndrome … pleasing others and challenging your ability to do what you need to get done.” (Chris)“As I started figuring out the ‘what' I wanted to do, the ‘who' that was going to make it happen started showing up in my life.” (Hillary)“We get so caught up in the minutiae. We are very short term-oriented people, but we can pause and broaden our perspectives.” (Chris)“Long-term thinking helps us to remember in the short term why we're doing things. It's a reminder of core values.” (Hillary)“Gratitude is not just about being grateful for positive things ... It can be used to help pick you up out of a hole, to find positive benefits in negative autobiographical experience. It's a tool for resilience, self-confidence, self-efficacy.” (Chris)“You think you've got it all figured out and then your business levels your ego in this exhilarating but exhausting kind of way.” (Hillary)“The only way out of a ditch is not to dig more. It's not to have someone pull you out. It's for you to levitate out.” (Hillary)“Money won't solve every problem, but having the comfort of knowing you consistently have enough and that you can change your trajectory … is a gamechanger.” (Hillary)“In order to see the change you want to see in others, first you have to make change within yourself … It's not about changing others. It's about clearing up your side of the street.” (Chris) LINKS/FURTHER RESOURCES:"Lonely at the Top: The High Cost of Men's Success," by Thomas E.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is The Methods of Rationality, Part 13: Chapter 13: Asking the Wrong Questions, published by Eliezer Yudkowsky. Elen sila J. K. Rowling omentielvo. EDIT: Don't panic. I solemnly swear that there is a logical, foreshadowed, canon-compliant explanation for everything which happens in this chapter. It's a puzzle, you're supposed to try to solve it, and if not, just read the next chapter. "That's one of the most obvious riddles I've ever heard." As soon as Harry opened his eyes in the Ravenclaw first-year boys' dormitory, on the morning of his first full day at Hogwarts, he knew something was wrong. It was quiet. Too quiet. Oh, right... There was a Quietus Charm on his bed's headboard, controlled by a small slider bar, which was the only reason it was ever possible for anyone to go to sleep in Ravenclaw. Harry sat up and looked around, expecting to see others rising for the day - The dorm, empty. The beds, rumpled and unmade. The sun, coming in at a rather high angle. His Quieter turned all the way up to maximum. And his mechanical alarm clock was still running, but the alarm was turned off. He'd been allowed to sleep until 9:52 AM, apparently. Despite his best efforts to synchronize his 26-hour sleep cycle to his arrival at Hogwarts, he hadn't gotten to sleep last night until around 1AM. He'd been planning to wake up at 7:00AM with the other students, he could stand being a little sleep-deprived his first day so long as he got some sort of magical fix before tomorrow. But now he'd missed breakfast. And his very first class at Hogwarts, in Herbology, had started one hour and twenty-two minutes ago. The anger was slowly, slowly wakening in him. Oh, what a nice little prank. Turn off his alarm. Turn up the Quieter. And let Mr. Bigshot Harry Potter miss his first class, and be blamed for being a heavy sleeper. When Harry found out who'd done this... No, this could only have been done with the cooperation of all twelve other boys in the Ravenclaw dorm. All of them would have seen his sleeping form. All of them had let him sleep through breakfast. The anger drained away, replaced by confusion and a horribly wounded feeling. They'd liked him. He'd thought. Last night, he'd thought they liked him. Why... As Harry stepped out of the bed, he saw a piece of paper facing out from his headboard. The paper said, My fellow Ravenclaws, It's been an extra long day. Please let me sleep in and don't worry about my missing breakfast. I haven't forgotten about my first class. Yours, Harry Potter. And Harry stood there, frozen, ice water beginning to trickle through his veins. The paper was in his own handwriting, in his own mechanical pencil. And he didn't remember writing it. And... Harry squinted at the piece of paper. And unless he was imagining it, the words "I haven't forgotten" were written in a different style, as if he was trying to tell himself something...? Had he known he was going to be Obliviated? Had he stayed up late, committed some sort of crime or covert activity, and then... but he didn't know the Obliviate spell... had someone else... what... A thought occurred to Harry. If he had known he was going to be Obliviated... Still in his pyjamas, Harry ran around his bed to his trunk, pressed his thumb against the lock, pulled out his pouch, stuck in his hand and said "Note to myself." And another piece of paper popped into his hand. Harry took it out, staring at it. It too was in his own handwriting. The note said: Dear Me, Please play the game. You can only play the game once in a lifetime. This is an irreplaceable opportunity. Recognition code 927, I am a potato. Yours, You. Harry nodded slowly. "Recognition code 927, I am a potato" was indeed the message he had worked out in advance - some years earlier, while watching TV - that only he would know. If he had to identify a dupli...

Love Yourself ،حب نفسك ... "Dear Me" / "عزيزى انا"

"Dear Me" / "عزيزى انا" by Ola Daiob .It will change your life . If you want to motivate yourself just read the book . It's amazing

Dear Me, Has it really been that long since I last wrote in this? I don't even remember what the previous page refers to... though that might be why I'm here. Since I last spoke to me, I've lost myself. I know that, of course, but I'm not sure if I understand why. My fear of loss has only expanded to losing the very way I gain things. Somehow, despite this, I've gained a new... friend? I suppose they're more than acquaintances, so the next step I can think of is friend, though that seems strong. For example, all I really understand for sure about them is their love of moths, which I am attempting to learn. Attempting to learn, however, is the very think I wish to remember how to do. Our adventures are leading us towards "the book", perhaps on an island. At least, I hope we are. It may very well help us get to where I wish to go. Regaining what I have lost... is the only way I can feel home when I get home. No promises on the next entry, Manish This letter was written by our guest! Anirudh can be found on Twitter @AhdurinRegion Find more of the cool things Anirudh is part of here including the not a scratch podcast! https://linktr.ee/AhdurinRegion In this Episode We meet Manish and Build out the Teacher playbook! Manish is a Knowledgable Owl who is Exploring the Hæth looking for his long lost desire to learn. After years of required teaching within the floating kingdom Manish is ready to rediscover what it means to learn and while searching for The Book he meets up with Meena who is unaware of his long academic standing.

Today on the show the ladies sit down with Kanchan Singh, the founder and CEO of Crumbs and Whiskers. Kanchan grew up in India and came to America and started the first cat cafe in New York and Los Angeles. The debut of the cafe was wildly successful and Kanchan began to self sabotage her success. Through that time she was diagnosed with complex PTSD because of her past in India, and with the men in her life, and began her self healing journey. She talks in depth about her being molested as a child, and her sexual assault through her life. She also talks about what it takes to start a business, work through trauma, what imposter syndrome means, and everything in between. Kanchan wrote about her trauma in her new book "Dear Me, I Love You" which you can pre-order HERE. You can also make a reservation to hang out with cats and coffee (if you are in LA and NY) HERE. You can follow us on Instagram HERE You can learn more about Olivia HERE You can learn more about Lisa HERE Join our FACEBOOK GROUP! We will shake it up with us next Tuesday!

Kanchan knew something was off for a while. She got a corporate job right out of college and after working for about two years, she decided to pursue the two things that made her happiest: animals and travel. This led her to Thailand, where she first heard about the concept of cat cafes. Upon returning, she honed in on her entrepreneurship minor and got to work bringing this idea to Washington, D.C. At 24, she opened her first location. Even with the success she was achieving with her business, she was still deeply unhappy. Not only was it affecting her internally, but it was also causing her to lash out at her employees and creating a toxic work environment. Deciding to start the inner healing through therapy and other methods, Kanchan starting writing poetry. It was through writing that she's been able to express herself and find who her true self. What a story of self-reflection and discovery. The episode features an exploration into finding purpose, healing, mental health, and defining a new definition of a CEO.

Kanchan Singh, Founder and CEO of Crumbs & Whiskers, joins Melissa on the mic for our Everyday Woman series. In 2014, Kanchan visited an elephant sanctuary in Thailand that helped reignite her lifelong passion of animal welfare. Upon returning to the states, Kanchan quit her corporate job and opened a kitten and cat cafe called Crumbs & Whiskers, to help reduce euthanasia in shelters. Much to her surprise, Crumbs & Whiskers was a massive hit that attracted an overwhelming amount of public interest, including celebrities and news stations. The more successful her business became, the more her mental health suffered and the impact of her childhood trauma came to the surface.If this episode resonates with you, share it with your friends on social media and tag @mimosasisterhood.

As I mention in the piece, my therapist at the time suggested that I write a letter to myself. I suffer from depression, so I tend to see things in black and white. In this piece, I'm giving myself a pep talk. I'm telling myself that I have the capacity to change and move away from destructive, self-sabotaging behavior. I published this piece to help other people who suffer from depression see things from a different perspective. In general, I like to shed light on mental illness in the hopes that the subject will become less taboo in our society."

The Land of MiraclesAired Monday, January 25, 2021 at 9:00 AM PST / 12:00 PM ESTDear Diary,Today I am willing to see the wound differently, so I can choose to use it as a portal and take me to the land of miracles!Dear Diary,Many years ago, I hated my Life. I thought it was unfair that I frequently experienced pain and suffering. I blamed others and then punished myself by hiding from opportunities to connect with them.Dear Diary,A few years ago, I gave up on myself and fell victim to the unhappy reflection I saw in the looking glass. I only saw the wound as a reminder of despair.Dear Diary,Last year, I started to question who I really was and what the wound could offer me. I started to ask the Universe whether I had any other choice than to suffer.Dear Diary,Last week, I saw that I always have a choice. And the first choice for me to make is to see that I am worthy of the power that resides in each choice I make.Dear Diary…. No, Dear Me….,Today I choose to see this wound and every wound differently. I see each wound as a portal that can either take me into deeper suffering or into freedom. Today I allow my self-love to be the key to lovingly give me access through each beautiful wound to the land of miracles!Connect with Lisa and Noemi at http://www.noemigrace.com/ and http://www.lightonliving.com/Visit the Access to Angels and Grace show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/access-to-angels-and-grace/#LandOfMiracles #wounds #NoemiGrace #AccessToAngelsAndGrace #LisaBerry #LightOnLiving

If you were a time traveller (we are, if you look into quantum physics!) and you had the chance to write a short letter to yourself 10 years ago, what would you want her/him to know. - I came across this as a journal prompt recently. What do you REALLY wish that you had known? It could be something big, something you wish you had watched out for, or appreciated more, or it could be something like - you bum looked gorgeous in that dress, you should have worn it. It is powerful to reflect, to see how the things that bothered us then, don't anymore. We can see our growth, our healing. We can also see where we are still getting stuck in limited mindset and beliefs. Any areas where we can let go and find a bit more freedom. In this podcast I share some of my top discoveries and have recorded a short guided visualisation, if you would like to do the work. Grab a cuppa, a pen and some paper or your journal, sit with yourself and see what appears…. ‘Dear Me in 2011....

Today’s episode of Faith Made Welcome is something of a bonus episode! If you’ve been listening to this podcast on faith brought to you by Commonwealth Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia for the last four weeks, you know that we’ve been digging into a conversation about science and faith with Dr. Graham Walker of McAfee School of Theology at Mercer University in Atlanta, Georgia. In this episode of the podcast, Cheri, Marty, Paul and Robin take some time to debrief from that rich discussion. Recorded immediately after our wrap up with Graham, the Faith Made Welcome Crew tucked in for a conversation that largely turned toward an exploration of doubt. It’s driven by a lot of questions: What is the nature of doubt? What do our doubts ask of us?  What’s the difference between doubt and curiosity?  How do we make space for doubt in a faith community?  We walk together through a dialogue about skepticism, fear, and consequences that come with faith and doubt. Join us as we wrestle with how knowledge and questions go together and explore the beauty that’s possible when we dare to change our minds! Scripture Mentioned this EpisodeJohn 20: 19-29Matthew 19: 16-30 Additional Materials Mentioned this EpisodeWe’ve elected to list these references in the order they appear:Dan Quayle: Robin references the potato debacle Robin Williams: Robin notes that Graham Walker is to theology what Robin Williams was to comedy.Roman Empire: Paul makes a reference to the Roman Empire as a good example of what happens when we try to hold a society to uniform belief.Buy-in bias: PaulRachel Held Evans: Robin references her journey with doubt, which she’s written about in Searching for Sunday, Nicole Nordeman: Robin reference’s her song “Dear Me” song, which both her and Cheri love. Paul Heilker: Cheri references the dedication at the opening of his book The Essay, which highlights the importance being allowed to change one’s mind.Paul Fitzgerald’s Blog - Cheri asks Paul to say more about an experience with a student changing her mind, which he blogged about in “Further Thoughts on Apocalypse Beans!” John Kerry - Paul mentions him as an example of someone penalized for changing their mind.Leaving Church - Barbara Brown Taylor - Cheri Made Robin talk about this book. Robin also summaries here new book. Title not remembered. James Fowler: We discuss again Fowler’s six stages of faith, which are discussed in his book by the same name: Stages of Faith; Mother Teresa and Jimmy Carter are held up as possible Level Sixes. Gallop Strength Finder: We joke that there isn’t a test to determine your faith stage like there is one to determine your strengths (although everyone on today’s podcast has done the Strengths assessment BUT PAUL).Nadia Bolz Weber - Marty tells a story once told by Weber about talking with someone who doesn’t believe, to which Weber replied “I wish I could pull that off!”Graham Walker - Marty tells us that Graham always instilled in his students the importance of always continuing to read. Peter Enns: Cheri mentioned his book Sin of Certainty, which she read as part of Marty’s Sunday School class at CBC; that book rocked her world. Paul is also a regular listener of Enns’ podcast The Bible For Normal People.  About This PodcastThis podcast was envisioned as means to foster spiritual growth and conversations about faith, both within and beyond the faith community at Commonwealth Baptist Church. At the open of this episode, we discuss what spiritual formation means to our CBC pastors and the role community plays in our concept of faith.  Got a question or want to reach out to the Faith Made Welcome team?  You can reach us at faithmadewelcome@gmail.com. Faith Made Welcome is produced by Cheri Spiegel, Paul Fitzgerald and This Most Unbelievable Life. A Note on the Links in these ShownotesYes, there are a lot of Wikipedia links above. Both Cheri and Paul endorse it as a perfectly reasonable starting place for opening spaces for deeper learning.   As always, when possible, books mentioned link to Old Town Books. We’re not sponsored by this bookstore; we just believe in supporting our local community! If you’re not an Alexandrian, we hope you’ll check these out at your local bookstore!

It's hard to believe our summer book club is already coming to an end. We have LOVED reading with you! In this final book club episode, Aprile and Amy chat all about chapters 17-19 of Beth Moore's Chasing Vines, sharing what stood out most to them and and how God is making the truths come alive amidst the beautiful mess of real life. Here are this week's discussion questions for those who are reading along with a friend or two:- Why is community such an important part of the harvest?- Do you see loving the hard-to-love as more of a box to check or as the whole entire list? - What kinds of qualifiers are you tempted to place on your love for those on the fringes (the downtrodden and marginalized)? In other words, how would you complete this sentence: I sacrificially love people if and when __________.- How have you personally experienced the reality that wholehearted commitment to Jesus is where the joy is? (And that a divided heart diminishes joy.)- Amy and Aprile talked a lot about social media in this episode and how the Lord is working on their hearts and actions. How is the Holy Spirit convicting you in this area?- What are you most looking forward to in the new heaven and new earth as we enjoy the eternal feast of God's undiminished presence? - What is your biggest takeaway from all 19 chapters of the book?

We're back this week with a brand new show, and today I'm thrilled to welcome Vicki Jay as my guest. Vicki is the CEO of the National Alliance for Grieving Children. Some topics Vicki and I talked about include: Why it's easier to address childhood grief early in a child's life than it is to deal with the potential effects of unresolved grief when they become adults; The fact that 1 in 14 kids will lose a parent or sibling by the age of 18; Children's Grief Awareness Month coming up in November, and some ways widowed parents can help raise awareness during this time; How to submit a story of “Everyday Heroes” who support the grieving children in your life; Why we should all wear blue on November 21 (and post pics on social media!); The NAGC's activity book for elementary age kids and their caregivers; “Dear Me” letters from adults who lost a parent to their younger selves; and Resources available on the NAGC web site, including a state-by-state listing of children's grief programs. I hope you enjoy my discussion with Vicki Jay.

Some adult language: In this episode, Drew conducts an interview with the incredibly talented BJ Leggett. The episode starts off differently, with the song "Dear Me" Written by BJ to himself to help him cope with his personal demons. He now spends his time telling his story, and hopes to start his career in public speaking, to help others battling similar issues. Cover Art made with open source imagery in the app Adobe Spark. All audio recorded in Garage Band. SFX for intro from the app Big Bang! Drew records on a Zoom H1 microphone.

Episode 3 of Dear Me is a big one! Today we're talking about PARENTING. We sit down with our mothers, Ms. Pat Riley and Ms. Sophia Flot-Warner (@sophiaflotw) to talk about raising us. We also sit down with our significant others David Fletcher and Taylor Burnett, of the podcast Dweebs in the Trap, to talk about how having kids has changed our lives. Lastly, we look at the results of a small questionnaire we did surveying parents from all walks of life about their experiences. It's a deep dive into the realities of parenthood, and we know that SOMEBODY out there can relate!

Dear Me, I'm forty eight and I know you're only twelve but I thought I'd write myself a letter so that you can help yourself. The truth is little man, what you fear does not come true, it's just some shadows on the wall trying to frighten you. Shine your light directly at them and they all just disappear, there is nothing to be scared of so run straight at your fear. "You'll be ok" is all you need to know from me wee man, and, now you know that, don't be scared to dream, to build, to plan.

If you were honest about your life what would you write in your, "Dear Me" letter from your older self? As we look into a new year let's focus on the wise words of King Solomon from the book of Ecclesiastes. These words will help shape our perspective and focus on what's truly important for 2019. Also, Cameron Moyer rapped his song, "Dear Me" which is the song that inspired this message.

How is your dream-chase going? For me, I’m taking some time this month to put significant focus on my personal dream-chasing efforts. I’m taking Nicole Walters’ $1K in 1 Day Academy course, so this is a time for me to work on the course, along with preparing better resources and products for you, the listener. I’m always looking for new and improved ways to inspire, empower, and equip you to chase your dreams. There will be no guest interviews for August, but those will return in September; meanwhile, we’ll cover some great topics with a few solo episodes that you won’t want to miss! “Dear Me, Myself and I” Have you ever written a letter to yourself? If you haven’t, I highly recommend it, because it’s something I’ve been practicing. It’s teaching me that I am important and my story is important. Even as identical twins, my sister and I are NOT the same people. When she was born 15 minutes before me, my parents thought she was the only baby. They didn’t know we were twins and that I would be joining the family just a few minutes later! The differences began immediately at birth. We have similar interests but had very different experiences as we grew up. Factors like race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion all work to shape us into who we are and tell us how we see things, but between any two people there are subtle (and some not so subtle) differences.  TWEET: “Out of the billions of people on the planet, no two are the same. You are important.” #chasingdreams You NEVER know How far does your influence and impact go? The answer is that you just never know. Your story may be shared with someone and serve to impact and influence them in ways in which you aren’t aware. You might be blown away if you did know how many people hear your story and are impacted by it. That’s a good reason for podcasting, as it shares the story of person after person, especially in how they live and chase their dreams. We each need to fulfill the purpose we were put on the earth to do, and we accomplish that by trying new things and figuring out what we love. TWEET: “Each person has different experiences, different perspectives, and a different story to tell.” #chasingdreams It’s YOUR life Have you had well-meaning people--even your parents--try to tell you what your purpose is? A parent’s job is to grow and nurture the seeds of passion and purpose so that each child can figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. It’s part of the reason we try different activities as we grow up. Parents can’t determine the steps you need to take in your life. It’s YOUR life and YOU have to live it and discover your true self. THEN you decide how to let that true self shine through to the world. Don’t let anyone have control over your life to decide WHO you are and WHAT you want to be! Let’s review the top takeaways from this episode:   You are important You are unique It is YOUR life, not someone else’s It is important to live your true life Chase your dreams and be happy   TWEET: The point of life is for you to figure out your purpose. #chasingdreams   OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [:30] How is your dream-chase going?

In episode 125, Kestrel welcomes Laurinda Ndenzako, the cofounder of Collective Closets, to the show. A womenswear label based + made in Melbourne, Collective Closets was built off of Laurinda + her sister Fatuma's African - Australian identities. "As far as Collective Closets go, we always say that we don't have all the answers, but we definitely want to be part of that conversation - we want to be part of that movement as well to leave a positive impact. And it all starts at home - and sometimes, just the smallest changes make the biggest impact." -Laurinda Ndenzako, Cofounder of Collective Closets In this episode, Laurinda shares more on the origins of Collective Closets, and how while she and her sister Fatuma were trained outside of fashion, both of their parents made clothing at home, and that was something that influenced them growing up.  A large part of the spark that pushed Laurinda + Fatuma to build Collective Closets was a family trip to Nairobi. According to Laurinda, the brand blossomed out of she and her sister being really proud of their African Australian culture, and embracing the chance to have a voice to tell their own story. Additionally, throughout this show, Kestrel + Laurinda talk more specifically about the way that Collective Closets always shares a thought provoking piece to outline the inspiration behind each collection. As Laurinda explains, this storytelling component is a massive part of their brand and the way they connect on a larger level with their shoppers, family, friends and beyond. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Grandma’s Finest Vintage, first company Laurinda + Fatima started (reworked vintage items Masai shuka, traditional check fabric originating in East Africa, and worn by the Masai people (a staple used in each of Collective Closets' collections) MPENZI WANGU/DEAR ME Collection (most recent collection) “This was her life. Not the life she had dreamed of, not a life her younger self would ever have imagined or desired, but the life she was living, with all it’s complexities. This was her life, built with care and attention, and it was good.” Kim Edwards The latest collection titled Mpenzi Wangu or Dear Me is inspired by the way in which our past's shape our personal evolution. If you had the opportunity to speak with your younger self what would you say? Have you shed your skin or does she still live within? "I think people are not looking for cookie cutter fashion anymore." Suggested Listening"Why A Drop Of 4 Degrees Made A Big Difference For A Garment Maker's Bottom Line"

Guest Bio: This week week we have a very special episode with Dr. Eben Alexander. Dr. Eben Alexander spent over 25 years as an academic neurosurgeon, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.  Over those years he personally dealt with hundreds of patients suffering from severe alterations in their level of consciousness. Many of those patients were rendered comatose by trauma, brain tumors, ruptured aneurysms, infections, or stroke. He thought he had a very good idea of how the brain generates consciousness, mind and spirit. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Dr. Alexander received his medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine in 1980. He taught neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School in Boston for fifteen years, and has performed over 4,000 neurosurgical operations. During his academic career he authored or co-authored over 150 chapters and papers in peer reviewed journals, authored or edited five books on radiosurgery and neurosurgery, and made over 230 presentations at conferences and medical centers around the world.

He has been interviewed for over 400 national and international radio and internet programs and podcasts.  His books are available in over 40 countries worldwide, and have been translated into over 30 languages. Since his NDE, Dr. Alexander has dedicated himself to sharing information about near-death experiences and other spiritually-transformative experiences, and what they teach us about consciousness and the nature of reality. He continues to promote further research on the unifying elements of science and spirituality, and together with Karen Newell, regularly teaches others ways to tap into our greater mind and the power of the heart to facilitate enhancement of healing, relationships, creativity, guidance, and more.

Dear Me

HELLO EVERYONE, WELCOME BACK TO 21ST CENTURY HANNAH, WHERE MY MISSION IS TO RECOGNIZE AND SPEAK TO THE BROKEN HEARTS OF CHILDLESS NOT BY CHOICE WOMEN AND MEN, AROUND THE WORLD.  I AM SPREADING THE GREAT NEWS THAT WE CAN LIVE A JOYFUL AND RELEVANT LIFE ALTHOUGH WE COULD NOT HAVE CHILDREN. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO SIT WITH YOU AWHILE.   Well, it’s nearing the end of the year. And as such, many of you are probably reflecting on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the last 12 months.  I don’t think we can help it. Especially if we want to grow from all we have learned, and have an even better next year.    I don’t know if you have ever done this, but last year around this time, I wrote myself two letters. They were written at two different events. One event was a vision board party, and the other was a women’s mastermind luncheon. Apparently, the event hosts had the same idea! In each letter, I had to write to my future self what I expected her to have done by the time she received the letter a year later. Stay with me, don’t get confused! Lol!    In one letter, I wrote a three-point list of the things I expected me to do. In the other letter, I wrote an actual Dear Me letter. As I read that letter, I thought to myself: I’m nice to me. I like me! Lol! Like most of us, though, it hasn’t always been that way. In my younger years, there was so much I did not like about myself. I practically wanted to be someone else. But as I matured, and as I surrounded myself by people who encouraged me, things began to change. I began to realize that who I surrounded myself with, who I listened to, really mattered.   I began to learn more about my personality. I realized I liked to have friends, but that I also liked my own company. I used to wonder if I were weird. But I wasn’t. Some things you only learn as you live life. Amazingly, many people go through life never really knowing who they are. They are afraid to find out. I believe getting to know yourself is helpful on so many levels. You get to know what you will and will not accept from yourself and from others. You learn how to choose your battles. And you genuinely get to like you, warts and all.     As I read my letter to myself, I noted how encouraging I was to me. I even told myself not to beat myself up if I had not met all my goals. I truly believe that when we are good to ourselves, others have no choice but to be good to us, or stay away from us. There will be people who will insist on trying to disrespect, handle, or hate us. But I say stand your ground. I mean if you don’t stand for you, who will? Of course, this means there will be times when you are alone, even lonely. Because finding people who believe in mutual respect like you do, is no easy feat. But it will be worth it.   We live in a time when most human beings want to feel they have the upper hand in their relationships, regardless of the relationship dynamic. Spouses are disrespecting each other. Children are disrespecting their parents. Students disrespect their teachers. The driver behind you curses you if you’re not driving off seconds after the light turns green. People just seem to be generally upset at each other.    The funny thing is, if we just treated people the way we would like to be treated, the global thermostat would normalize exponentially! Alas, the best we can do is to continue to do our best on an individual basis.     And what does all of this have to do with the issues of being childless not by choice? Well, everything! Because, how do you feel about you? Really, do you say more positive things to yourself than negative? Do you allow people to speak negatively to you, about you? Have you learned or are learning to choose your battles? Are you intent on maintaining as much peace as possible in your daily life?    Please believe me, being good to you, speaking positively instead of negatively, to yourself; and choosing the right people to surround yourself with does not make you a pushover. Life is stressful enough without accepting and surrounding yourself with crazy all the time. But it all starts with you.   As we head toward another fresh new year, why not write yourself a letter? Say some nice things to yourself. Write two or three goals you would like to accomplish. Encourage yourself. Then seal the envelope, and put it in a safe place. I will check in with you a year from now. We can exchange experiences. What I really want you to do, is realize how beautiful you are, and what a beautiful life you can have, no matter how life turned out for you. Like Susan said in her email, we are blessed. We must keep that in mind when negativity attempts to make its way into our hearts and minds. Sometimes it will be a fight to maintain a positive attitude, but it will be worth it.      Well, thank you for joining me for another episode of 21st Century Hannah. It is greatly appreciated.  Remember to visit me at www.childlessnotbychoice.net for details on the platform, and to subscribe to my free monthly newsletter.   Remember, there are so many places to listen to the podcast. You may listen directly on the www.childlessnotbychoice.net website, iTunes, iHeartRadio, YouTube, Overcast, the native app icon on your smartphone, Stitcher, and many other podcast apps. Would you like to leave me a message? Look to the right on any page of www.childlessnotbychoice.net, you will see an oblong tab. Click on it and leave me a voice message of up to 90 seconds. And to leave me a review, head on over to iTunes! I would love to hear from you!       Below... ...is the outline for my annual goals list. Try to come up with four to six bullet points for each topic below. See how much more interactive this list is versus just writing a list on a piece of paper? I hope you find it useful.    2017 GOALS LIST   WHAT WOULD I LIKE TO BE MOST THANKFUL FOR IN 2016?     CAN IT BE BOILED DOWN TO FOUR GOALS?     CAN THE GOALS BE CATEGORIZED: FAMILY/GIVING/PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT?     CAN THE DEADLINE FOR MEETING THE GOALS BE BROKEN DOWN INTO QUARTERS?             Some people are shocked, almost in disbelief when I tell them how mean people can be some times. Well, here are a couple of links to articles on the ugliness of human beings in regards to the issues of childlessness not by choice. I'm not posting them to perpetuate hate, but to prove that childlessness is a global issue. There are variations based on culture, but it is definitely a global issue. So check them out, tell me what you think.     https://thehoopla.com.au/top-10-insults-aimed-julia-gillard/   http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/remark-voted-the-most-sexist-of-2007/2007/11/13/1194766619713.html   Hang in there!

"Dear Me"

Tonight on HopeNet Radio, Jeff & Dave read your "Dear Me" letters and share their own. Plus, we're opening up the conversation that will continue into next week about where all the good men have gone. Good men are hard to come by today. It seems every man is falling to pornography and addictions of all kinds. Many are hesitant to lead and are withdrawn from the family life. Something has to change. What does it mean to be a good man today? It's time for our men to "man up" and realize our God-given responsibilities. Plus your emails, comments & tweets! "#007: Dear Me Letters" appeared on HopeNet 360.
