Podcasts about developing life

V okrogli trideseti epizodi podkasta je moja sogovornica Tina Bončina, zdravnica, psihoterapevtka in avtorica dveh knjig na temo duševnega zdravja: "Izgorelost" in "A to je vse, kar je?". Tina je pred odhodom na samostojno pot delala kot sobna zdravnica na Psihiatrični kliniki v Ljubljani, že vrsto let pa se ukvarja s tematikami, ki so za moj podkast posebej relevantne. Govorila sva o tem, kaj sploh je izgorelost, kakšni so opozorilni znaki in zakaj se o tej entiteti nenadoma tako veliko pogovarja. Potem sva svojo perspektivo še razširila in spregovorila o stresu, počitku, načinih samopomoči in skrbi za duševno zdravje. Bogat pogovor, ki človeku vrne upanje, da v vsakdanji hektiki modernega življenja ni sam in da vedno obstajajo načini, s katerimi lahko ob temačnih dneh podpremo upanje v boljše čase. Tino najdeš na https://www.boncina.si/ Njeni knjigi lahko najdeš na spletni strani https://emka.si/pages/tina-boncina Obe Tinini knjigi lahko najdeš tudi v obliki zvočnih ali e-knjig na aplikaciji MK Plus.

Trechos do livro “Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill”, Matthieu Ricard. Matthieu Ricard é escritor, tradutor, fotografo e monge do Budismo Tibetano. Filho do filósofo Jean-François Revel, Matthieu nasceu em Aix-les-Bains, em 1946, e cresceu em meio aos círculos intelectuais da França. Aos 21 anos, fez sua primeira viagem à Índia. Aos 26, decidiu abandonar a tese de doutorado em biologia molecular no renomado Instituto Pasteur para se dedicar a uma vida de contemplação como monge budista. Então, passou a viver no Himalaia estudando com Kangyur Rinpoche e outros grandes mestres, se tornando o estudante mais próximo e assistente de Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche até sua morte. Matthieu Ricard foi um dos primeiros ocidentais a explorar em profundidade os tesouros espirituais do budismo dos Himalaias. Em 2012, pesquisadores da Universidade de Wisconsin, nos Estados Unidos, declararam que Matthieu Ricard era o homem mais feliz do mundo. O grupo de cientistas constatou que seu cérebro produzia um nível de ondas gama nunca antes relatado no campo da neurociência. O estudo revelou que, graças à meditação, Matthieu conquistou uma capacidade incrivelmente anormal de sentir felicidade e uma propensão reduzida para a negatividade Em seu ensino, Matthieu Ricard enfatiza a importância da atenção plena e da meditação como ferramentas para cultivar a consciência e a presença em nossas vidas diárias. Ele ensina técnicas de meditação que ajudam a desenvolver maior clareza, foco e uma compreensão mais profunda sobre nossos pensamentos e emoções.

America seems to be barreling down the road to catastrophe. But rather than simply waiting for politicians in D.C. to get their act together and save us, the best thing we can do is to save ourselves.

How often are you immersed in nature on a weekly basis? For some of you, that question actually might be, how often are you immersed in nature on a monthly basis? Ideally we can get into nature daily, but in today's society, that often feels nearly impossible. This is what we are going to chat about today with guest Jeffrey Ryan, who recognizes the challenges of getting back to nature in today's society and provides solutions on how to do so.    In this episode, Jeffrey and I discuss the deep need to connect to nature for our overall well being, the difficulties we face connecting to nature in our urban society, and the imbalances in the world from an environmental perspective. But most importantly, we talk about why it's important to preserve and manage land and the exciting prospect of “rewilding”.   Jeffrey Ryan is an author and speaker known for his travel and outdoor adventure writing. Ryan's books include "Appalachian Odyssey: A 28-Year Hike on America's Trail," "Blazing Ahead: Benton MacKaye, Myron Avery, and the Rivalry that Built the Appalachian Trail," and "Hermit: The Mysterious Life of Jim Whyte." In his writing, Ryan combines his interests in nature, history, and storytelling to create engaging narratives that inspire readers to explore the outdoors and learn about the past.     What we discuss:   12:56: About Jeffrey 18:23: Why should you make being outdoors a priority? 22:21: What skills can you gain from hiking? 31:21: How is the preservation of nature enforced? 37:59: Where does the awareness of the preservation of nature come from? 49:35: What are the challenges that National Parks face? 53:05: Why don't people grasp the importance of our lands? 56:45: What are we doing right and wrong when it comes to taking care of our land? 01:04:25: What can nature teach us about ourselves?     Key takeaways:   Our land belongs to all of us. It belonged to the people before us, to us, and the next generations. Thus, the importance of preserving it. Our lands were protected throughout generations and through plenty of civilizations for a reason; they were saved for us because our lands are what allowed past generations to survive. This brings the question: why are we trying to destroy land that was saved for us?   These are life skills that most of us tend to develop through experience, as life goes by. But what if we could gain these useful life skills a lot faster and under better terms? Hiking in nature can help you gain this life skill. When you're in nature without any help from the outside world, you have to learn how to deal with the spontaneous things the forest may throw at you. Whether it's a trail being blocked by a fresh stream that wasn't there before or a tree blocking your way, these situations help build that problem-solving muscle. As you experience more of these types of situations where you have to think on your feet, the easier it will be for you to deal with the next one coming your way, whether it's in the forest or at work.   Sometimes, spending time with nothing else but ourselves is the thing we are most scared to do. That's why we listen to podcasts on our walks and blast music on our speakers when we shower. But when we do that, we're missing out on the opportunity to reflect and look within, which is important for our personal growth. This is why it's important to take time with yourself seriously and to completely disconnect and learn to spend time with your thoughts in nature.     Find more from Darin:   Website: https://darinolien.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/ Book: https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/ Down to Earth: https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/     Find more from Jeffrey:   Website: https://www.jeffryanauthor.com/ Instagram: @jeff_ryan_author Book: https://www.jeffryanauthor.com/where-to-buy-this-land-was-saved-for-you-and-me/     More links:   Pre-order my newest book Fatal Conveniences: The Toxic Products and Harmful Habits That Are Making You Sick―and the Simple Changes That Will Save Your Health on Amazon.   Shop Therasage and use code DARIN to save 15% on your purchase: https://therasage.com/pages/shop

This week's repeat is an episode I did with Rhonda Armour, who spoke about things we can be doing with our health and lifestyle so we can be at our very best. I think summer is a great time to start to implement some healthier practices if you haven't already, though any time is a great time to start. I know the importance of things like nutrition, exercise, stress management and other lifestyle components, not just because I know how much mental health is affected by these things, but I also know what an integral part this all is of living a life of joy and peace. Rhonda will share her own mental health journey and will be sharing some of the things she has found to help herself and now in her work, helping others. I really love Rhonda's approach of being kind and gentle with yourself while making significant changes for your life. As a Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach, as well as a Personal Trainer, Rhonda understands the demands on time for today's woman feeling torn between career and home life. Nutrition and exercise often fall last on a long list of priorities. She once lived this life and understands it's not easy putting yourself back on the priority list, especially if you have struggled with programs and diets that have left you feeling frustrated and confused. Rhonda wants her clients feeling empowered and back in the driver's seat! She develops a partnership with her clients and, together, they develop habits and strategies to implement those habits, that are meaningful and easily fit into their unique lifestyle. There is no one-size fits all approach. The approach is custom and it's all about her clients needs. Rhonda wants to end that roller coaster and the shout of internal voices that question your willpower, capability, and commitment from programs that simply haven't supported your life. Rhonda's full life coaching style allows clients to partner with her in a holistic approach that satisfies external pressures and personal goals. She enjoys working with the motivated, but stressed-out woman who is ready to live their best life and understands that it's not a straight line to success. Rhonda's greatest desire is to empower women and restore that flame of confidence, competence, and control!

I am particularly excited to have our guest Rhonda Armour this week as we are going to be talking about something very near and dear to my heart -health and lifestyle.

Was haben wir nicht alles versucht, um »psychisch gesund« zu sein: Wir waren in Therapie, haben Selbsthilfebücher über Zufriedenheit gelesen, unsere Ernährung umgestellt, unsere Kleiderschränke ausgeräumt, Orte, Boyfriends und Unis gewechselt. Aber eines blieb: der Drink. Pünktlich zum Mental Health Awareness Month 2022 reden wir darüber, was das Trinken eigentlich mit unserer mentalen Gesundheit macht. Denn lange Zeit war uns nicht klar, in wie viele Bereiche unseres Lebens der Alkohol eigentlich eingreift - und das auch schon, bevor wir in der handfesten Abhängigkeit steckten. Ein Grund dafür ist auch unser gesellschaftlicher Umgang damit: bedürftige Nachricht an den Ex geschrieben? Streit gehabt? Mal wieder nicht aus dem Bett gekommen? Dass Alkohol überall mit dabei war, bleibt oft nur eine Randnotiz. Deshalb sprechen wir in dieser Folge über die vielfältigen Folgen, die Alkohol für unsere mentale Gesundheit hat. Dabei geht es um Gehirnchemie, Schlaf, Selbstfürsorge, Gefühle und Beziehungskompetenz. Und wenn man sich nicht sicher ist: Wieso nicht einfach mal den Alkohol für eine Zeit aus der Gleichung nehmen und gucken ob sie sich dann leichter lösen lässt?--------Svenja Gräfen / Radikale Selbstfürsorge.

Ravi Hutheesing is a culture catalyst, a keynote speaker, was a guitarist for Hanson--and triple Grammy nominated. He is also an author and his book: PIVOT: Empowering Students Today to Succeed in an Unpredictable Tomorrow, couldn't be more timely. Its value is for teachers, parents, and students themselves, to learn how to 'Pivot', move from what was to a current condition, and do so fluidly. It's something we can learn, it's something to incorporate into classrooms which need to become a hybrid model. And learning this will set the foundation to be life-long learners. Ravi engages students and teachers in 'Ravi Unites Schools, a global school network that enables teachers to have groups of students participate in online real-time AV interactions with peers around the world. www.raviunites.com

On this episode of the High Flow Lifestyle Show, I talk with Faust Ruggiero about how we can develop our creativity and follow life's natural flow. Faust has been in private practice at the Community Psychological Center in Pennsylvania for over thirty years, specializing in individual, family, substance abuse, women's issues, and marital/ couples counseling. During that time, he developed the Process Way of Life, and has used it with over 2,000 of his clients, helping them to realize and unleash the power they have inside themselves. The Process Way of Life has now been developed into a written version of the original counseling program, and is now an award-winning book entitled The Fix Yourself Handbook. Life's Natural Flow - If you find yourself living in flow with nature, you don't find yourself intellectually compromised. When you make a decision that goes against that, emotionally you find yourself all over the place. Spiritually there is a disconnect. You get there by slowing down. You get there by learning to gather facts. Without holding a predetermined decision. Keep the facts in line with what should be, not the way you think they should be. Be open to alternate paths. ..

Today I talked to Matthieu Ricard about two books.  The first is A Plea for the Animals: The Moral, Philosophical, and Evolutionary Imperative to Treat All Beings with Compassion (Shambhala, 2016) It is a powerful and wide-ranging indictment of the treatment of animals by humans--and an eloquent plea for animal rights. Every cow just wants to be happy. Every chicken just wants to be free. Every bear, dog, or mouse experiences sorrow and feels pain as intensely as any of us humans do. In a compelling appeal to reason and human kindness, Matthieu Ricard here takes the arguments from his best-sellers Altruism and Happiness to their logical conclusion: that compassion toward all beings, including our fellow animals, is a moral obligation and the direction toward which any enlightened society must aspire. He chronicles the appalling sufferings of the animals we eat, wear, and use for adornment or “entertainment,” and submits every traditional justification for their exploitation to scientific evidence and moral scrutiny. What arises is an unambiguous and powerful ethical imperative for treating all of the animals with whom we share this planet with respect and compassion. The second, co-authored with Jason Gruhl, is Our Animal Neighbors: Compassion for Every Furry, Slimy, Prickly Creature on Earth (Bala Kids, 2020). It offers a story about the fundamental connection between animals and people and how we can treat all of Earth's creatures with compassion and empathy. Furry polar bears, playful sea otters, slow sloths, prickly porcupines, and slimy snakes are just a few of the many animals we share our world with. And even though we might not look the same or have the same needs as our animal neighbors, we have more in common with them than we might think. Our Animal Neighbors introduces children to the importance of treating all animals with the care and compassion they deserve. We all want to experience love, safety, and respect and this book is the first step to instilling those values at an early age. This planet is our home, and we should all be free to live a prosperous life regardless of whether we have hands, hooves, scales, or fur. Matthieu Ricard is a French writer, photographer, translator and Buddhist monk. Ricard received a PhD in molecular genetics from the Pasteur Institute in 1972 before departing his native France to study Buddhism in the Himalayas, eventually becoming a monk of the Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery in Nepal. Renowned also as a photographer and translator, he is the author of numerous previous books, including Altruism: The Power of Compassion to Change Yourself and Your World, Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill, and, with his father, the late Jean-François Revel, The Monk and the Philosopher: A Father and Son Discuss the Meaning of Life. He dedicates all the income of his work to two hundred humanitarian projects run in the Himalaya by the organization he founded, Karuna-Shechen.

Today I talked to Matthieu Ricard about two books.  The first is A Plea for the Animals: The Moral, Philosophical, and Evolutionary Imperative to Treat All Beings with Compassion (Shambhala, 2016) It is a powerful and wide-ranging indictment of the treatment of animals by humans--and an eloquent plea for animal rights. Every cow just wants to be happy. Every chicken just wants to be free. Every bear, dog, or mouse experiences sorrow and feels pain as intensely as any of us humans do. In a compelling appeal to reason and human kindness, Matthieu Ricard here takes the arguments from his best-sellers Altruism and Happiness to their logical conclusion: that compassion toward all beings, including our fellow animals, is a moral obligation and the direction toward which any enlightened society must aspire. He chronicles the appalling sufferings of the animals we eat, wear, and use for adornment or “entertainment,” and submits every traditional justification for their exploitation to scientific evidence and moral scrutiny. What arises is an unambiguous and powerful ethical imperative for treating all of the animals with whom we share this planet with respect and compassion. The second, co-authored with Jason Gruhl, is Our Animal Neighbors: Compassion for Every Furry, Slimy, Prickly Creature on Earth (Bala Kids, 2020). It offers a story about the fundamental connection between animals and people and how we can treat all of Earth's creatures with compassion and empathy. Furry polar bears, playful sea otters, slow sloths, prickly porcupines, and slimy snakes are just a few of the many animals we share our world with. And even though we might not look the same or have the same needs as our animal neighbors, we have more in common with them than we might think. Our Animal Neighbors introduces children to the importance of treating all animals with the care and compassion they deserve. We all want to experience love, safety, and respect and this book is the first step to instilling those values at an early age. This planet is our home, and we should all be free to live a prosperous life regardless of whether we have hands, hooves, scales, or fur.

THE WINNING ATTITUDE: DEVELOPING LIFE CHANGING ATTITUDE ••• Bible Study Verses: Habakkuk 2:1-4, Jeremiah 8:20-22, Jeremiah 7:3-12, Judges 16:20, Romans 12:1-2. “People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude. John C. Maxwell If I belittle those whom I am called to serve, talk of their weak points in contrast perhaps with what I think of as my strong points; if I adopt a superior attitude, forgetting "Who made thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou hast not received?" then I know nothing of Calvary love. Amy Carmichael It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray. Billy Graham The worst attitude of all would be the professional attitude which regards children in the lump as a sort of raw material which we have to handle. C.S. Lewis Persistence in prayer for someone whom we don't like, however much it goes against the grain to begin with, brings about a remarkable change in attitude. F.F. Bruce Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart.” Josh McDowell † “ ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of Hosts” Zechariah 4.6, NKJV What is the biblical reason for writing down your vision for the upcoming year? Why is corporate vision prayer so important? What are 5-reasons why Change is Elusive for so many church goers? What is the “terrible disease of the mind” mentioned in God’s Word? What does living in denial have to do with change? How did Samson’s lifestyle affect his ministry? What is one thing the Christian should never take for granted? What does your attitude towards others indicate? What causes one to think they are invincible? What causes one’s opportunities to become limited? What is a reason why even in Christendom divorce rates are high? What happens when you lift up Our Creator The Lord Christ Jesus? What are 10-negative repercussions of the Disease of the Mind? How do you purge your mind of the disease of the mind? How do you renew your mind? Are you asking for prayer to make positive uplifting change in your attitude in the upcoming year?

I talk to Jeremy Lipkowitz, who is a Search Inside Yourself certified teacher, a leadership coach, a meditation teacher, an emotional intelligence trainer, and founder of Untangling The Mind. I met Jeremy in Chiang Mai, Thailand and found out that throughout his life, although he consistently achieved his academic and career goals, he felt empty inside and ultimately unhappy. This lead to unhealthy addictions, which Jeremy also openly talks about. This episode is a fascinating discussion about purpose, meaning and also some of the quite big career changes Jeremy has had personally in his life. What I love about Jeremy is that he has a solid background in science, spending 4 years on his PhD in Genetics, and throughout his quest for happiness, he’s found some game-changing tools for high-achievers and high performers to find meaning and happiness, with or without having to change the job or career you’re in.In this episode we discuss:From being allergic to spirituality as a scientist to understanding it (as a scientist)Jeremy’s big career changes - from science to trading tea to teaching mindfulness and meditationHow to decide whether to stay in your career or not if you feel unfulfilledPractical tips to start uncovering purpose and meaning in your life to feel less empty insideShifting from a mindset of self interest to one of contribution to othersWhat’s the one thing that makes Jeremy Lipkowitz burn from within?

Today we’re bringing you another important episode on the theme of #F*ckShame! This time, we’re covering a topic that we’ve never talked about before on the podcast, and that is shame around money. In our society, a lot of us are made out to feel that we don’t have enough money in a lot of different ways. Either we don’t own the right house (or own a house at all), drive the right car, make enough money at our job; fill in the blank. Personal finances are often a deep source of shame and can even become a huge issue between couples as well.   Our guest today, Shannon McLay, is an expert on all things money. She is the CEO and founder of an organization called The Financial Gym. We take care of our health, brain, and body… but one thing we often overlook is “exercising” our finances. What we love about Shannon is that she addresses becoming “financially fit” in an incredibly practical way that meets people where they are.   We hope you join us this episode to address money-shame head-on with our incredible guest, Shannon McLay! Definitely get out your pen and paper; we know this is one you’re going to want to take notes for.   IGNTD Specials: IGNTD Live Online Groups (Free for 14 Days) IGNTD Subscription ($43 per month & 30 days of Live Groups included) IGNTD “Once an Addict” Campaign   Topics Discussed: [:30] About today’s episode!

  For those on the path to financial independence, finance, fitness, and life optimization all intersect. During her career in the banking industry, Shannon McLay found it didn't work for the people she wanted to help. She set out to use her skill set and training to change the coaching industry and founded Financial Gym. Even for those who not physically fit, they know what it looks like and there are many resources available for achieving it. The path the financial independence is similar in that it is a long journey. You have to work up to it, will experience setbacks, and take breaks. Much like diets, budgets don't work long-term. Making lifestyle changes is the key to success. At the Financial Gym, clients hit 90% of the goals set for themselves by examining their money behaviors and constantly working to figure out what's will work for them. The two largest emotions people have regarding money are fear and shame. Once people drop these highly charged emotions and understand the financial numbers don't define them, they can break through and embrace moving forward. After turning 30, Shannon realized she didn't want the life she was leading. Her life's trajectory changed when she came to understand that to have long-term sustainable happiness is to help other people and not expect anything in return. During her work as a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch, she discovered she enjoyed helping out her pro bono clients far more than the wealthy ones. It allowed her to see there was a need for a service where it didn't matter what you looked like financially, you just needed to get financially healthy. Much like going to the gym to get healthy, her concept of a financial gym was a place to meet with financial trainers for a monthly membership fee. Following the model of H&R Block, Shannon believed people wanted to meet with a financial advisor face-to-face. She was advised to prove the model would work before looking to raise money. Experimenting with different plans and prices, she had great success with her first clients increasing their net worth. Clients wanted to keep working with her, but she was running out of money to continue investing in her business. When a former boss invested $100,000 in her concept, she rebranded using the gym concept. The physical environment of the Financial Gym created a community where clients had a shared goal and a safe space to talk about money. Shannon was able to scale her business by developing a training program and teaching compassionate and empathetic people what she knew. Those contemplating becoming an entrepreneur should ask themselves, “Am I a good problem solver?” because running a business is like solving a lot of word problems. No one's financial situation is so bad that it can't be fixed. The trainers at the Financial Gym have seen and fixed it all. On average, clients pay $70-80 a month for membership, but they offer a six-month money-back guarantee which they've never needed to pay out on. The average client increases their net worth by $2,500, increases their credit score by 60 points, and negotiates a $5,000 a year salary increase within the first 3 months of membership.

Spoiler alert – the answer is none. ·      How meditation changes our brain and how it can help with focus and productivity. ·      And how long you need to meditate in order to benefit from it.

Barbizon specializes in developing life skills in children, teenagers and adults and provides development advice in the fields of modeling, acting, and singing. Susan also owns B2B Management, a boutique management company that manages corporate clients as well as top models, actors and artists, including Cover Girl Christina and movie star Regine Nehy. Liebesman discusses the importance of self-confidence and how Barbizon helps foster this extremely important characteristic in students. It’s also very important, she notes, for students to have a positive, balanced life to achieve their personal happiness. Barbizon’s curriculum includes looking at the whole person and honestly discussing body issues. Liebesman also notes that the entertainment industry can be dicey for parents and young kids unless parents do their due diligence to check out the bona fides of those offering opportunities for their children.

Matthieu Ricard is helping us redefine happiness in a culture convinced that it’s a passive experience. The French-born Tibetan Buddhist monk reframes happiness not as pleasure but as practice that requires discipline — akin to marathon training or learning chess. He asks, “What are the inner conditions that foster a genuine sense of flourishing, of fulfillment?” Ricard is the author of “Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill” and “Altruism: The Power of Compassion to Change Yourself and the World.” Find the transcript at onbeing.org.

This is something most will never take the time to understand.

I’m excited to bring you this conversation with Danielle Dutton, acclaimed Margaret the First author, whose own mother instilled an appreciation for reading and education early in her life. Danielle and I spent many family holidays together growing up because our mothers have been life-long friends. But, it’s been years since I’ve spoken with Danielle and it was such a joy to hear about the E.P.I.C life she is living. Danielle is the author of three books, most recently Margaret the First, based on the life of Margaret Cavendish, a 17th century Duchess who wrote and published poems, plays and other works during a time when “being a writer” was not an option for most women.  In addition to being an author herself, Danielle also co-founded, with her husband, the independent press called Dorothy, a publishing project. The press came from her own desire to create more space for innovative works by female authors. It is named for her great aunt, a librarian who drove a bookmobile through the backroads of Southern California, delivering books to underserved desert communities.  Born and raised in California, Danielle now lives in Missouri, where she teaches in the writing program at Washington University in St. Louis and enjoys time with her husband and eight year old son, both writers themselves. Danielle and I talked about the small steps she took along the way in her life, from working in a book store in England to taking a writing class and then applying for her MFA on a whim, that brought her to where she is today. She shares with honesty how she has moved through depression and anxiety and how she has become a kinder person since becoming a mother to her son, who she says is hilarious and her favorite person in the world.   We also discuss the importance of a mindful daily practice. How Buddhist meditation has begun to transform the way she thinks about herself, helping her to go down the “right roads” in her thoughts. And she shares how the books she has authored came from both a mindset of patience and a commitment to daily writing. I found Danielle to be totally delightful and was inspired by her honesty, her sincerity and this way in which she comes across at the same time relatable and brilliant. I hope you will join me in exploring the resources she shared in Buddhist meditation and also in following through on her challenge to read more, read books we wouldn’t normally read, and make time and space for a writing project of our own to emerge.  Topics discussed in this episode: The impact Danielle’s mother had on her life and on her own journey as a mother  The unique gifts her great aunt, a librarian, sent her as a child that planted seeds for Dorothy, the feminist press Danielle co-created Danielle’s struggle with anxiety and depression and how mindfulness and meditation has helped her The various, but significant, shifts that Danielle has experienced to get to where she is today How her son is her favorite person and how becoming a mother has changed her The need Danielle saw in the cultural conversation of including more women writers and their voices in the literary world  Neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity to change and adapt How her press became part of Danielle’s support network and why a community of self is also important Resources mentioned in this episode: Dorothy, a publishing project - Danielle’s press Danielle’s book, Margaret the First: A Novel The Wallcreeper by Nell Zink On Being with Krista Tippett, a podcast Tara Brach, a psychologist and proponent of Buddhist meditation Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life’s Most Important Skill by Matthieu Ricard Modeh Ani Morning Prayer/Song (version by my cantor Elena Jagoda) that I sing each day after a short morning meditation A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf Announcements: If you haven’t yet visited the website, I want to invite you to head over to mothersquest.com to explore some of the ways you can get more connected.

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you had chosen another path? Would you have been more successful in your craft? A better writer, artist, musician?

He is a successful author whose books have been published by some of the biggest houses in New York City and he has a lucrative full-time job.However, as Jesse approached his 50s, he started wondering, "What if?"Jesse spent his 20s in what was known as the heartbeat of Bohemia in New York City (if you have ever seen the movie or the musical Rent, then you know exactly the place I am describing). As he looked back at this time, he realized that although no one he knew was extremely successful or rich, they were all living and breathing their craft.From this reflection came the question, "Is there an untapped wealth of talent just buried within me?"Jesse's exploration of this question over many years led to his latest book, How Did I Get Here?.
