Jessie Asya Kanzer is the award-winning author of Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky and Don't Just Sit There, Do Nothing. She was born in the Soviet Union and left at age eight. Jessie shares that ‘what is so incredible about our man Volodymyr is that his belief in himself stems not from seeing himself as special, but from seeing himself as ordinary and from knowing there is great power in this ordinariness. His belief, in other words, is in the abilities of each ordinary individual.' Jessie Kanzer is a former reporter and actress. She once found herself on the set of a Zelensky film and has followed his story ever since. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, USA Today, the Washington Post, and many other publications. She's been interviewed on podcasts and TV programs across the country. She lives with her husband, two daughters, and two cats in Dobbs Ferry, NY.

He was one of three main characters. The movie was either called “Love in the Big City” or “No Love in the City,” depending on the translation. I had a small part in the movie. At one time, I struggled and eventually gave up on acting, moved on with life, had kids, and started writing. I've had moments where people I worked with in movies or TV shows became successful, but nobody became a president before. Zelensky sent me the link to the movie in 2019, even though this movie was made back in 2009. It was a unique experience to see someone I knew from the entertainment world become a president. My Zelensky The book I wrote about the Tao Te Ching that I talked to you about last year had a chapter about Zelensky in it. The chapter was called My Zelensky and it was the Taoist principle I was talking about. The chapter talked about the Taoist principle of using whatever life gives, regardless of what circumstances you're given. It says do not waste anything. And so I had Zelensky as an example then, and he had been born into the Soviet Union as I had. I left, but he had an immigration of sorts of his own where that tyrannical rule fell. The country was trying to break through and be free. He was a person who actually was able to really enact change. What is Different About Zelensky? Zelensky has changed the history of his nation, his people, and millions of people. I think he changed the trajectory for Europe, maybe for the world. And so I started following him out of that intuition that something is different about this person. When he emerged on the world stages as he is now, I started to see why I was pulled towards studying him. He always said I'm just an ordinary person. He said. I'm not a politician. When he was first elected, he said, I'm just a simple person who has come to break down the system. Suggested Resources Book: Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky: Lessons We Can All Learn From An Unexpected Leader by Jessie Kanzer Book: Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching by Jessie Kanzer App: n/a Lessons To Learn The subtitle of the book is, ‘Lessons We Can All Learn From An Unexpected Leader'. One of the lessons is about his PR skills. It was his job to really get other parts of the world to understand the importance and value of Ukraine. This includes Europe, neighbors of Europe, and especially North America. Ukraine is the producer of a lot of food, and specifically a lot of bread. I learned significant PR skills from Zelensky including public relations skills and the ability to communicate. I'm still learning. Thus the reason for the title, Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky.

About Jessie Kanzer: Jessie Asya Kanzer is the author of Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching — a book that combines ancient philosophy to help us live in the midst of current chaos. Born as Asya Bronfman in the Soviet Union, Jessie emigrated to the U.S. at age eight after surviving a holocaust. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, New York Daily News, Wall Street Journal, The Independent, Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, Ravishly, and Romper.She lives in Dobbs Ferry, New York, with her two daughters and husband. She considers herself an expert in Doing Nothing. In this episode, Adam and Jessie discuss:Expressing your emotionsDon't just sit there, do nothingReinventing your identityFly your freak flagPeace begins with you. Key Takeaways:Journaling, or doing whatever comes naturally to you in terms of expressing your emotions, is a crucial part of getting through your difficulties.Stillness, or just a moment of getting quiet while deep breathing and connecting to the present moment is the key to healing and transformation.There's nothing wrong with creating a new identity or reinventing yourself. Everyone has their own issues and labels that they wish to unlearn from the world, and if changing their identity or unlearning all they believe they know is how they deal, then let them.Allow yourself to not be ashamed of your own wicked personality and stop attempting to conceal some aspects of yourself or your past. People will undoubtedly judge you, but keep in mind that we aren't designed to fit into some preconceived idea of normalcy.If you want peace in the world, start with yourself. Be the change you want to see in the world. Change is inevitable, but taking steps in improving yourself to rise to the occasion and grow as a person will help to spread peace. "Life is always a moving journey, you're not actually done. So just have a good time along the way. Don't stress too much, just chill out more. Don't just sit there, do nothing more." - Jessie Kanzer Connect with Jessie KanzerWebsite: https://jessiekanzer.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessiekanzer/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JessieAsya/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_taoTwitter: https://twitter.com/jessiekanzerBook: https://jessiekanzer.com/#pre-order Connect With Adam Weber:Website: https://meditationnotmedicine.com/about/Email: adam@meditationnotmedicine.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/easytomeditate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meditationnotmedicine/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPnbji9rDrCfxhY0W8sHL9ABook: Meditation Not Medicine Show notes by Podcastologist: Angelica Rayco.Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Effect on Emotions Mindfulness taught me that there's more than one of me. There's the one that feels the emotions that react and the observer part of myself. Because I'm able to observe myself and watch myself, I've become much less reactive. That doesn't mean I judge my emotion, or I hate my emotion or anything like that. But I'm able to come back to the center much quicker because I see it. I feel it. I work through it if I need to work through it, but I don't react to it anymore. I mean, I should say most of the time. Thoughts on Breathing I love breathwork. I don't do it daily; sometimes I do breathwork instead of meditation. I am amazed at how breathing in certain ways can help you enter almost a different dimension. That is why for me, breathing really gets me out of my monkey mind. Suggested Resources Book:Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching Book: The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment App: Calm Bullying Story I think if I'd had mindfulness training when I was a child when I was bullied, it would have made a huge difference for me. I was not very welcomed when I came to America as a kid, because I came here in 1989 and that was right on the heels of the Cold War. By the way, I'm not even Russian. I'm a Jew from Latvia. The Soviet Union divided people very weirdly, like on their passports. On my passport, it just used to say, Jew. That sounds crazy to people when I say that, but that's what it said. And then my family; half of them from Latvia, half from Ukraine. But our language was Russian because often these geopolitical shifts are affected, individual people. And I was one of those people.  Therefore, I came from this war-torn family that suffered a lot under Stalin under the Nazis, and finally made it to America, the land of the free, but unfortunately, mindfulness was not taught, at least not the way it is now. A lot of kids were pretty mean when they heard my Russian accent. First, the Russian language, because they had watched movies like for instance, Rocky Five, these movies where the Russians were always the evil people. So there was a lot of making fun of, and you know, I remember I'd be stopped, in the middle of the stairway,  they would laugh and say, Where Are you Russian, Russian. As a result, all of these things I internalized because I was a very sensitive child. Bullying did not exist in the Soviet Union. The socialistic ideas that formed this country, a lot of them did not work clearly. But this kind of unity, versus individualism in the classroom, made everyone be really nice to each other.

Happy Satiated Saturday! I remember a time in my life when I lived across the street from a gym. This was a time when I was diving deeper into my own personal growth and healing, working with a somatic therapist, and binging regularly to try to regulate as looking at these dark things in my life was not easy. I would eat to the point of feeling so uncomfortably full I couldn't attend to or focus on anything else. Some nights, I just did not want to sit with that fullness and so I would walk over to the gym at 9:00, 10:00, even 11:00 pm at night and walk on a treadmill or use the elliptical until I didn't feel full anymore. Sweaty, exhausted, and numb, I would walk back to my apartment, shower, and just go to sleep. I share this because, first, if this is a pattern you're in right now, please know you're not doing anything wrong. You're showing up the best you can right now with everything you're trying to navigate in your life and in your body. Second, that pattern that was playing out with my food and body wasn't really about my food or my body image. It was a time of my life I was actively taking myself outside my comfort zone. It was a time I was challenging the ways I showed up with myself and with others. It was a time when I thought the tears of grief from what I was processing would never stop. Eating and moving my body just became moments of respite from what felt, at times, too intense to navigate. If you're reading this nodding your head, I see you, I understand, I get it.In this week's episode, I talk with Jessie Asya Kanzer, author of her new book Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching, about her journey of healing from an eating disorder and how finding the Tao Te Ching and learning to be with herself changed everything for her.You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/seeking-stillnessAs a reminder, you never have to navigate this food and body healing journey alone.

Ep#095 How can a book written in 400 BC be a powerful guide for how to live today?  The Tao Te Ching a classic of Chinese philosophical literature, reminds us that spending less time trying to manipulate situations, people and circumstances to get what we want  and more time aligning ourselves to the natural flow of things  is the way to a joyful existence.    The central concept is that deep self awareness when cultivated gives us the ability to have a more genuine experience of reality which gives way to making empowering choices in our lives with ease.  Today's guest is author, speaker and fellow mom on a spiritual journey Jessie Kanzer.   Jessie Asya Kanzer was born in the Soviet Union.  At the age of eight, she emigrated with her family to Brooklyn.  Her intense personal struggles put her on a spiritual journey during which she discovered the Tao Te Ching, an ancient text that reminds us that there's great power in slowing down in our lives.   It forever changed her life.    We dive into her critically acclaimed book, which comes out next month:   DON'T JUST SIT THERE, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling & Living with the Tao Te Ching.  Jessie gives practical actionable insights on how we can use this ancient philosophy to help us thrive amidst our modern chaos. Visit her Website:  https://jessiekanzer.comFree Webinar Book Launch 3/1:  https://jessiekanzer.com/events/dont-just-sit-there-do-nothing-web-launch

At the age of eight, she emigrated with her family to Brooklyn. She is a writer, former reporter and actress. For years, Jessie felt like a failure, unable to hustle hard enough to "make it" either as an actress or in the rat race. Her childhood as a Russian immigrant in post-Cold War America heightened her insecurity and threatened her identity, desperate as she was to fit into a culture that was alien at best and hostile at worst. This loss and eventual reclamation of her sense of self sent her on a spiritual journey during which she discovered the Tao Te Ching, which changes everything for her. The Tao taught her that there was power in stillness and that all struggles come bearing gifts if you know how to recognize them. Her message will connect with listeners desperate to find grounding as we move into a new year filled with trepidation and no guarantees of a return to normalcy.   https://www.facebook.com/JessieKanzer (https://www.facebook.com/JessieKanzer) https://instagram.com/jessiekanzer (https://instagram.com/jessiekanzer) https://twitter.com/jessiekanzer (https://twitter.com/jessiekanzer) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI0_lGiZPq31VJ5w7hg7NuA (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI0_lGiZPq31VJ5w7hg7NuA) https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessiekanzer/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessiekanzer/)

In her book, DON'T JUST SIT THERE, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling & Living with the Tao Te Ching Jessie Kanzer shares how perfecting the art of doing nothing can offer wisdom, healing, and grounding–and possibly be the most productive thing you have done in a while. For years, Kanzer felt like a failure, unable to hustle hard enough to “make it,” either as an actress or in the rat race. Her childhood as a Russian immigrant in post-Cold War America heightened her insecurity and threatened her identity, desperate as she was to fit into a culture that was alien at best and hostile at worst. This loss and eventual reclamation of her sense of self sent her on a spiritual journey during which she discovered the Tao Te Ching, which changed everything for her. The Tao taught her that there was power in stillness, and that all struggles come bearing gifts if you know how to recognize them. Her message will connect with listeners desperate to find grounding as we move into a new year with filled with trepidation and no guarantees of a return to normalcy. She is a writer and former reporter and actress. Her work has appeared in the Washington Post, New York Daily News, Wall Street Journal, The Independent, the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, Ravishly, and Romper. Jessie lives with her two daughters and husband in Dobbs Ferry, NY. During my interview with Jessie, you will learn: * How to trust your intuition and inner voice whenever doubts creep in * How losing sight of your true identity can be a gift (as long as you find it again) * How the Tao can cure you of perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies * Why it's important to continue to embrace stillness, even amidst a push to return to “normal” following the pandemic * The Tao's wisdom on parenting, especially how the act of letting go can be the ultimate form of love * How the Tao can teach you to value yourself and not give your power away in romantic relationships. In a culture that insists on constant motion and self-improvement, the Tao Te Ching's philosophy reminds us that there's power in slowing down and making room for stillness in our lives. Don't Just Sit There, Do Nothing (now available where books are sold) offers practical actionable insights on incorporating its wisdom into your everyday life.

More about Jessie Kanzer: Jessie was born in the Soviet Union as Asya Bronfman—a little Jewish girl living in a communal apartment with four families, one toilet, and a rickety old bathtub in the middle of the kitchen. Her grandparents had survived the Holocaust and her parents continued to struggle under anti-Semitic policies. They sought asylum in the U.S., waiting in Italy and in Austria, and finally made it to Brooklyn in 1989. As an 8-year-old refugee who only spoke Russian, Jessie (who was still “Asya” then) yearned to fit in. She changed her name and much about herself. Later though, she experienced depression, an eating disorder, and all sorts of existential problems. She pursued Hollywood fame, men, and the American Dream, but always fell short. Until she stopped. In figuring out how to better herself and her life, Jessie picked up a bucket-full of tools that she now shares with others—including the Tao Te Ching, which she's studied for years and which inspired her upcoming book. Her work has appeared in the Washington Post, New York Daily News, Wall Street Journal, The Independent, the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, Ravishly, and Romper.

Though the #MeToo movement is not at the forefront of our minds anymore, its reckoning continues, as we deliberate on what responsibility the enablers carry for crimes they helped perpetrate or cover up (i.e., Ghislaine Maxwell and Chris Cuomo) and whether or not a longtime offender should go free (Bill Cosby).We're in muddy waters at this point, confusing waters, even—and those are the ones that author Jessie Kanzer knows all too well. She's a rape survivor who didn't acknowledge that she was a rape survivor until many years after the fact, being that hers was a date rape, murkier than a clearcut assault but non-consensual nonetheless, with power dynamics at play that she later recognized made her a clear victim.Still, “I didn't want to be a victim,” she says, “I still don't, which is why I wrote about my shame-spiral of an experience with the hope of helping others in my forthcoming book, Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching. Since I was sexually assaulted by a supervisor at a film production company with close ties to Harvey Weinstein, I had to grapple with the fact that I was yet another fly in the never-ending Weinsteinesque net.”Jessie says she continued to put up with lascivious men as an actress, describing hilarious but damaging scenes in her book, including having to film a pilot with a bare bottom that a male producer photographed with his phone, just for fun.She has reckoned with her past, though, and now as a middle-aged mom, she has advice for other women navigating their way in a not-yet-safe world.
