Podcast appearances and mentions of deb ozarko

Derek Interviews with Deb Ozarko on the Unplug Podcast. In this powerful conversation, Deb and Derek talk about how so much of what's offered in today's personal growth/self-improvement world is aimed at trying to fix or improve what's perceived as “broken” within ourselves. We're set up for failure from the get-go by starting from a place of lack where we believe that we're deficient in a way that requires some sort of miraculous technique or affirmation to fix us. This ensures that we continually search outside of ourselves ...for what we'll never find. What we're really after is right under our nose – literally – bursting from within our hearts desperate to emerge! We don't need to fix anything. We just need to open up to the truth of who we've always been. Want more free trainings?

Please join us in conversation with author and “soul activist” Deb Ozarko.  Deb is a pioneer in the world of “collapse awareness,” seeking to understand the global predicament of our civilization.  Her path of heartful engagement with the very real possibility of civilizational collapse led her to write Beyond Hope: Letting Go of a World in Collapse. Deb’s journey has taken her through powerful activism work as a vegan advocate, intense physical performance as a tri-athlete, and experiments with stepping back from civilizational life.  Now her work is more focused on living a meaningful life in a context where she believes our collective story is breaking apart in coming years and decades. As she writes: "As a passionate activist for animals, the Earth and accelerated Soul evolution, I’ve dedicated my life to ensuring that there are no wasted moments. This has taught me the delicate balance between being and doing. My mission is to inspire simplicity, kindness, authentic expression, and meaning outside of the stifling confines of today’s dysfunctional, distracted … and less face it, insane cultural mindset. By shifting the paradigm from head to heart we can live a more passionate and compassionate life that excludes no living being. In the end, all you really need to know is that I give a damn. About life. About love. About me. About you. … oh ya, and I really love to dance." Our conversation will focus on the general topic of living meaningfully in a world experiencing breakdown. What does it mean for “us” to “make it”?  What are the contours of hope and anthropocentrism as we navigate the global predicament?  What happens when we explore letting go of hope?  How can we show up to life with an embodied acceptance of life as finite?  How do we unconsciously embody "meta-stories" of humanity and life on earth?  What do compassion and joy look like in a context of systems breakdown?  What is the role of personal responsibility and collective action for the broader state we are in? Join Birju Pandya as he engages in conversation with Deb to explore a perspective that is rarely voiced – acceptance that our civilizational story (as that of all civilizations) will eventually become compost for something else, and feeling into what is born in that exploration.  Birju’s work has intersected with global overshoot, systems collapse, and resilience; he is focused on inviting greater inner and outer capacity as we collectively experience ever more volatility in this process. The conversation will dive directly into the topic, assuming a basic level of familiarity with the underlying perspective.  As this topic can bring up complex emotions and there is limited shared context collectively, Birju and Deb invite participants to engage, in advance of the call, with the learning resources below so as to support deeper engagement with the conversation and shared inquiry: This short share by Deb, naming the fierceness invited by finding meaning in moment-to-moment presence when one’s broader story of civilization has collapsed. (3 minutes) The introduction to Deb’s most recent book, Beyond Hope, sharing an overview of what brought her to write such a book. (10 minutes) An essay by elder Catherine Ingram, providing a “big picture” view of how such a narrative that is so far from what we normally receive is possible, and integrating that with an intimate heart of compassion and wisdom. (30 minutes) BONUS: A broader painting of some of the pioneers who have named the larger connection between ecology, wisdom, and dropping the need for particular outcomes (takes as long as you want it to). Please join us for this deep inquiry into a rich and rarely explored perspective.

To understand Deb Ozarko is to understand the Soul. In letting go of the physical world, she has paradoxically embraced the tender sacredness of life. To be in the presence of Deb is to be in the presence of wisdom, joy, humor, passion, compassion, and raw authenticity....

Two weeks ago, Deb Ozarko shared her story with us, and our storyteller for today was actually her partner in crime in the puppy rescue she told us about. I also told you about her book, and one of the tear-jerkers inside, was a touching story, about a pivotal time in her partner’s life. This woman both stunned and inspired me with her impulsive nature… I was really intrigued about how she was able to practically flip a switch and change everything about her life. It wouldn’t have shocked me if she did it for money or fame… people chase these dreams anywhere… but no, today’s guest was changing her entire life for love and love alone. Love for herself, love for her partner, love for animals, and love for this planet. I found out later on, that shortly after she moved on from her previous life, our storyteller also spent some time working for the International Fund for Animal Welfare and rescuing animal victims of natural, and not-so-natural, disasters all over the world. I’m thrilled to present to you, Deb Gleason… and this is her story.  To access links to resources and see some photos submitted by our storyteller, please visit http://myrescuerocks.net/41.  Please help us spread our rescue stories by sharing this show with a friend, PAWlease, I’d really appreciate it!

To access links to resources and see some photos submitted by our storyteller, please visit http://myrescuerocks.net/39. I’m so excited to introduce today’s storyteller, not only because of her fascinating and slightly shocking, story, but because she’s not afraid to follow her heart, like so many of us are, myself included. I actually have to thank Sean Howard, from episode 13, for introducing me to the Unplug Podcast, which is produced by today’s guest. He told me all about this compassionate rescue advocate he was friends with and so I listened to his interview on the Unplug Podcast first, and then I started binge listening to all the other shows. Looking back at my first impressions about this passionate lady, what really sticks out is how she said she’d never take on any sponsors for her show. To me, that was huge, and it made me instantly trust every word out of her mouth. As it turned out, around the same time that I started listening to her show, she was having a really hard time with the loss of her soul-dog Jesse. When I reached out to her about sharing her story here, it was kind of surreal to me, it was like I was talking to a future version of myself, a much kinder and more authentic me… at least the me I wish I could be. Well as you all know, I like to start from the beginning, and, as a side note the real beginning of our recording, was too hilarious to not include somewhere in this show. So if you listen past the music at the end of this episode, you’ll hear a behind the scenes clip of our conversation about cat poop and what vegans feed their pets. Alright! Here we go, I am thrilled to introduce you all to the passionate, purposeful, and worldchanging, Deb Ozarko. This is how Deb’s lifetime of love got started:  To access links to resources and see some photos submitted by our storyteller, please visit http://myrescuerocks.net/39.

Deb Ozarko is passionate, outspoken, authentic, and an intense lover of life. This woman speaks direct from her heart, and in the process expands hearts all around her. Deb shares her story of grief and its affect, and how that impelled her to be more authentic and loving and become even more willing to follow the light wherever it takes her. She is fighting for all of us to wake up, and do something about what we see. She doesn't hold back, and for that I am most grateful. Listen to Deb explain how she plans to leave the world a better place. I promise, you will be inspired!

Anger and frustration are common for us animal advocates. And this week we’re talking with someone who can help us by teaching us what questions we should be asking ourselves. Deb Ozarko finished college and got a diploma in Design, Communications and Advertising. She worked in corporate and studio settings. Deb Ozarko completed an Ironman triathlon. Deb Ozarko was an aggressive, outspoken activist. And yet, none of these things are how Deb Ozarko defines herself today. In an incredible journey from grief and anger to compassion and hope, Deb transformed her life. Her story – and the many things she learned in this lifelong lesson – are spoken of during her popular The Unplug Podcast, in her book the Status Quo Crusher and through her blog. Deb Ozarko wants to see a revolution of love. And she joined Defender Radio to discuss her life lessons, plans and hopes with us in an in-depth and revealing interview.
