Welcome to the first episode of Inclusive Life! I'm your host, Nicole Lee, human rights lawyer, DEI consultant, activist, mom and founder of Inclusive Life. It is a joy and a privilege to bring this project into being. I believe it’s important. Because I believe if we want to have a just and equitable society, we are going to have to build it. I believe being committed to eradicating systemic inequities is the highest calling one can have. It’s the most important thing we can do as individuals.    Yet, I believe we must do this work in community. We have to work together.  Why?  Revolutions and movements have changed societies. And revolutions and movements rely upon many people putting in their time, effort and energy.   There is no one coming to save us. It’d be nice to believe that there is a savior or guru on their way, but I don't believe in individual heroes or hero worship.  We have to save ourselves. But none of us are alone, even though it might feel that way. There are so many of us doing the work. And no matter how long you’ve been at it, I want you to know that we come to this work as imperfect humans. We all have areas to grow. You get to be where you are at. The Inclusive Life Podcast is not a forum where we are going to be debating that white supremacy culture is real, or that diversity, equity, and inclusion are important. We are not going to waste our time sparring with devil’s advocates. Instead, we are going to be in dialogue. We will be listening, growing our understanding, building our skills of analysis and discernment, and moving into aligned action. We will hold one another accountable to learn, push beyond our comfort zones, and do necessary repair work.  Let’s link arms. Let’s create something that perhaps has never existed before.  Please join me as we shape a more compassionate and just world one conversation at a time. Join me in cultivating a more Inclusive Life. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: What is an “inclusive life”? What is Inclusive Life all about?

What is Oxytocin, and what does it do for you? Have a listen as I share some ways that you can generate it. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: What is oxytocin What oxytocin does What you can do to generate oxytocin in the body Heartfulness Key Takeaways: Oxytocin is a hormone that acts as a neurotransmitter. It plays a role in female reproductive functions as well as in different aspects of human behaviour. Oxytocin is quickly produced in the body with human contact. Studies have shown that we get oxytocin as well as relaxation benefits when we have a massage. Hugging also generates lots of oxytocin. Studies have also shown that when you hug a stranger for longer than 20 seconds, both of you will get a release of oxytocin. Cuddling with your pet dog also results in a huge release of oxytocin in the body. Action Steps: Get oxytocin by doing the following: Getting a massage. Hugging people. Cuddling with your dog. Active listening. Focused meditation. Sharing your feelings with someone. Practicing heartfulness. Leanne said: “[Heartfulness] is about doing something for somebody else, for something that’s bigger than you, or a cause that’s bigger than you.” “[Heartfulness is also] about doing something that is all about you. So it may be reconnecting with a hobby, a passion, or a purpose that you’ve just found.” If you want to register your interest in some of the ideas that I’m putting together with Bodyshot Performance, send an email to anne@bodyshotperformance.com.

How can we bring people together at this time of the pandemic? In this episode, I talk about the future of offsites. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: What companies should be aware of when it comes to bringing people together What you should be thinking about in terms of an individual’s wellbeing The scar tissue concept Key Takeaways: The future of offsites will be outdoors. Airflow is absolutely crucial. It’s a really important aspect of getting fresh air into the lungs and keeping away from airborne pathogens. Almost all of us were shut up in our homes during the actual lockdown period. What we did see is a reconnection with nature. Reconnection with nature is an important aspect of wellbeing. When we get access to natural light, it does a lot of things for us. It can be energising, and you get a dose of serotonin. It is very difficult but not impossible to bond and connect remotely. But nothing quite substitutes that face to face. Action Steps: Get outside and reconnect with nature. Get exposed to natural light. Learn new skills. Leanne said: “I think there’s going to be a huge shift in the way that we’re going to bring people together… In short, it’s going to be much harder to get teams of people together.” “As we get a bit older, we tend to stay with what we know. And it can be really nice to step away from the world that you know and learn something new. Great for self-esteem. Great for confidence. Great as well for team building.” If you want to register your interest in some of the ideas that I’m putting together with Bodyshot Performance, send an email to anne@bodyshotperformance.com.

There’s no denying that EMF (electromagnetic frequencies) are TOXIC. In fact, over 240 scientists and doctors from 41 nations who have published research told the United Nations we need URGENT ACTION and reduced exposure. And they wrote the FCC for a moratorium on the roll-out of 5G—citing the serious risks to human health and the environment. Did anything happen? HECK NO—because 5G is poised to become a TRILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY. EMFs make those sensitive to parasite excretions and mold mycotoxins even sicker. Ever tried a candida cleanse or a parasite protocol and it didn’t seem to work, or maybe it did but only for a few months until it came back? This could be why. Our guest today is Brian Hoyer who is amazing. Brian is going to knock it out of the ballpark on all the different things that affect us from EMS, EMRs, our health and why it's so important for what I say, your balls, your boobs, your babies, and brain and your entire body.  What I wanted to share with you guys is an offer that is exclusive only to my followers. Brian Hoyer and my good friend Nick Pineault, have been collaborating together for quite some time to create a 6 week EMF protection course. As a member of this waiting list, you'll get a chance to grab your access for this new class at a discounted price! In this six week program, you're going to learn the solutions that I wish I would have known three years ago when I first became EMF and EMR certified. Especially with all these mysterious symptoms, that most of your doctors may send you away and say, "We have no idea what's wrong with you. There's no big deal. Take this pill, take this pill, take this pill." In this course, which they have offered a discount for you guys, for my tribe, it's a six week program, just the basics because this is a very complex topic. Especially in this episode, you might be a little overwhelmed. It gets distilled down in this program so that you can have little bite-sized step-by-step things that you can do to incorporate this into your life, to save you and your family. This is the step-by-step take action plan so that everything you learned about today, which is going to blow your mind, how to take these and implement them into your daily life to reduce the toxic burden and load on EMS and EMRs, and 5G, which is one of the top three, I believe, hazards in your health, in our lives at this point, for animals, insects in humans. After testing many homes for EMF around the country Brian founded Shielded Healing in 2017 with the goal of helping modern humanity recreate electromagnetic environments that more closely mimic our historic human habitats.   In this Episode What you’re NOT considering in terms of EMFs and 5G Eliminate unnecessary stressors from your home to improve SLEEP, RECOVERY, and ENERGY Learn if you really can CLEAN DIRTY ELECTRICITY Which length of electromagnetic rays are HARMING YOU the most Things you MAY NOT be considering in terms of EMFs Electric fields via wiring in walls - wired radiation, which is micro using up calcium and magnesium and a huge reason we are magnesium deficient.  Your workplace- you could be exposed to really high levels of this toxin. A car that’s loaded with Dirty Electricity (such as my foot on the gas pedal) Home lights like fluorescent (mercury vapor, cause dirty electricity lines throughout the whole home). Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc emit lots of EMF (unless on Airplane mode) Earbuds, airPods, holding phone up to head, headphones. Cell phones in the pocket, on the body, holding them for long periods of time.  Tips to social distance from yourself from your devices and the EMFs they emit! Turn WiFi off when you go to bed (use a christmas light timer - plug router into that and have it come on in morning). Paint to block out frequencies, so earth energy can come through (shielded bedroom Get a sleep switch for your room. Brian’s company test for wiring areas and these types of frequencies: electric, magnetic fields and dirty electricity, wireless,and geopathic stress from the earth. Connect computer to wired connection via ethernet cable vs using WiFi. Purchase an organic cotton sleeping canopy (you can order this here). Consider red light therapy  Replace fluorescent lights with incandescent and halogen lamps, (more watts the better because they are hotter and flicker less).   Get the AuraRing (deep sleep, fitness tracker, Heart Math, counts steps?)...improve deep sleep by up to 50% Consider a Defender Shield phone case. And last but not least… take Brian and Nick’s 6 week course all about EMFs. Quotes: “Your body is on your side, when you have a symptom, thats your body telling you ‘hey, I’m trying to excrete something’.” [28:50} “Any healing modality requires the body to activate healing. In order to activate healing, your nourishment has to outweigh your stressors.” [36:20] “There’s a pathway to healing that starts with listening to this podcast, and implementing some of the things we talked about” [1:34:52] Links: Esoteric Agenda 6 week EMF protection course Resources: Unexplained Illness by Martin Paul The Invisible Rainbow The Body Electric  EMF Proofing your Home with Building Biologist Brian Hoyer The Truth about Water Flouridation

In today's episode Annie Sargent talks to Jason Sager about the difficult relationship between French Kings and the Catholic church. And we couldn't get through this topic without talking about the French Wars of Religion. And it’s not just Kings, all of France has a complicated relationship with the Catholic church, even today! Just this morning I was talking to one of my neighbors and she brought up the fact that she goes to church regularly but she’s not a grenouille de bénitier. I bet you’ve never heard that expression. A grenouille de bénitier is a person who goes to church so much that she’s compared to a frog who lives in the font where they keep the holy water at the entrance of a Catholic church. You don’t have an expression like that in English, do you? That’s because as far as I know there is no English-speaking country where being a "churchy" person makes you stand out as an odd duck. You’ll get a heavy dose of French history and French culture in today’s episode. French People and the Catholic Church To set the stage, in the early 1500s world-wide you have Columbus sailing off from Spain. A lot of Chateaux were being built on the Loire Valley. François I wanted to be Emperor (but didn't manage). Leonardo da Vinci moved to France. But this is also the time when the wars of religion were happening in France. The Reformation Martin Luther's reformation also happened at that time. 1517-1522 is when he was excommunicated from the Catholic church. This began as a German reformation movement but it moved into France rapidly with John Calvin particularly who started his own reformed church in France. French Protestants are known as Huguenots in France. Huguenots This is something French Kings didn't like to see because they saw themselves as the protectors of the Catholic faith and they didn't want to see a different religion thrive in France. And the Huguenots religion spread very quickly in France, which made it an even bigger perceived threat. By 1560 about 10% of France was already Protestant. Members of the nobility also converted to the new religion. A lot of Bourbons were Protestants. The King of Navarre became a Protestant. Henri II before he died in an accident established a "chambre ardente" with the goal to eliminate the Huguenots from France. He died too soon to see if it worked. By 1560 there were already a lot of Protestants in France. France was supposed to be "la fille ainée de l'Eglise" or the eldest daughter of the church. François I wanted to be called "the most Christian King" to reinforce his relationship with the Catholic church. Henry XVIII in England wanted the title "defneder of the faith" from the Pope to establish himself as an equal to the French King. A Dangerous Situation By 1560 there are a lot of tensions between the Catholics and the rising Protestant minority in France. When Henri II died an untimely death it rattled the structure of power in France. He had 3 sons, but they were too young, so his wife, Catherine de Medici, became the regent. She was terribly unpopular because she was Italian and also a woman. The king, François II was the official king, but he was always in poor health and died of tuberculosis 18 months into his reign. His brother Charles IX succeeded him, but he was also too young to reign by himself. The situation was volatile and uncertain, especially when you take into account the high level of religious strife. Catherine de Medici always tried to find compromises between the Catholics and the Huguenots because she didn't think eliminating the Protestants would work. On the other hand, the Guise family who were ultra Catholic really believed in eliminating the Protestants. Duc de Guise at Vassy The Duc de Guise went through the town of Vassy where Protestants were allowed so long as they didn't worship within the walls of the city. He realized that they were breaking the law and worshiping inside the city. He sent his men to stop them from doing so and a firefight broke out.  Several Protestants were killed and this is one of the events that ignited the French Wars of Religion. This event is what convinced the Condé family and the Bourbons that it was time to take up arms to defend their Huguenot faith.  The Wars of Religion were a series of civil wars that went on for about 40 years. St. Bartholomew's Day massacre The St. Bartholomew's Day massacre took place under Charles IX in August 1572 and it's a bit of a mystery what started it. The Admiral Gaspard de Coligny (who was a Protestant and had been advocating for war against the Dutch) was shot but not killed. And this set off a chain of events between Protestants and Catholics that turned Paris into a powder cake. It is probable that the King himself sent a message to kill all Protestants on the night of August 24th. He might have done that because his sister married into the Navarre family (who were Protestants) and a lot of high-ranking Protestants were in Paris for the occasion. He was hoping to eradicate the new religion that way. About 3000 Protestants were killed that night in Paris alone and another 10,000 died all over France in the next couple of weeks. The level of indiscriminate violence the Catholic forces used against Protestants is shocking. The Wars, Massacres and Troubles of Tortorel and Perrissin is one hard to find book that illustrated the horrors of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. Henri IV and the Edict of Nantes Henri IV was raised a Protestant and only became a Catholic to suit his political needs. The Edict of Nantes was signed in 1598 and that's what attempted to give some freedom to practice the Protestant religion. The Edict of Nantes is seen as the official end of the Wars of Religion although it was rescinded by Louis XIV one hundred years later. In a sense the Wars of Religion didn't end until the late 1600s. Were the Wars of Religion truly about religion or were they a political conflict between powers?  It was probably both. The noble families were using religion as leverage to gain power. But there was also a lot of religious fervor at the time and a lot of violence was perpetrated by people who were acting out of fanaticism. There were people who saw their neighbors as a cancer just because they didn't share the same religious beliefs. Louis XIII and his Confessor Jean Arnoulx Henri IV was assassinated by a Catholic, Ravaillac, who didn't believe the King had truly converted. He is followed by another Regency (by his mother Marie de Medici) and then Louis XIII. Louis XIII is the young king who hired strong man Cardinal Richelieu to help his side-step the power of his mother. Both Jean Arnoulx and Richelieu wrote in opposition to the Protestant religion. They wanted to secure the support of the Catholic church for the French King because in the past the church said they weren't doing enough to get rid of the Protestants. There were pamphlet wars in which people accused one-another of being bad subjects to the King (and therefore bad French people) because they weren't Catholic. In their view, in order to be French you also had to be a Catholic. The retort to that was that no Protestant had killed a French King yet, that it was crazy Catholics who did this sort of thing. Catholics never had a good response to that because it was indeed true. The Catholic Church in France Even today when you visit France, you will see that there are giant Catholic churches in tiny villages. That's because everyone went to church back then.  The Church was the biggest organizing force in French life until the Revolution and by then French people truly hated the church. French Kings since Clovis have been defenders of the Church, so when the Monarchy went, the church went with it. Jean Bossuet, under Louis XIV said the King was the representative of God on earth. Everybody in France, even Victor Hugo, though that the Kings represented on the facade of Notre Dame were the French Kings. In reality they were the Kings of Israel. There was a complete conflation of church and State in France until the Revolution. And then the divorce was brutal. Louis XVI got in big trouble with the people of Paris because he didn't want the priests to have to pledge to the new Constitution. And this is one of the major reasons why he didn't survive the Revolution, because he was seen as continuing to side with clergy. Jason's Favorite Places in Paris The Basilica of Saint Denis: It is a masterpiece in many regards, but the stained glass is marvelous there.

How did Alitura Naturals come about? Former division one athlete, model, and actor turned entrepreneur Andy Hnilo shares how he ended up founding this amazing company after a life-threatening accident put his career on hold. You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode122. Topics Discussed in this Episode: What propelled Andy to start Alitura Naturals What the Alitura Clay Mask is made of and why it’s so effective What sets the Alitura products apart Andy’s health and beauty tips How to use the derma roller and what it does for your skin   Key Takeaways: The Alitura Clay Mask is an all-in-one facial treatment that creates an unmatched level of circulation on the surface of the skin while lightly exfoliating it. There’s a lot of heavy metals, chlorine, and pollutants in our tap water. You’d want to clear those out with a filter and not absorb any of those through your skin. The liver is your biggest detoxifying organ. As long as you’re keeping your liver healthy, that’s going to show in your skin.   Action Step: Try the Alitura Clay Mask. Follow Andy’s health and beauty tips: Get a shower filter. Use a good, healthy, organic detergent. Eat fermented vegetables. Exfoliate at least once a week. Get some good sunlight. Drink good spring water. Eat nutrient-dense foods and take it to another level. Use a derma roller.   Andy said: “When you’re using yourself as a science experiment, it’s with zero intention to start a business. It took me maybe a couple of years to actually come up with a price and start charging people.” “In our products, everything that made that final ingredient, it has a purpose. There are absolutely no fillers in our products.”   Thanks for listening!   Important Announcements: Don’t forget to connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

Where else will you find a group of people called to self-sacrificial love, modeled after Christ- Who laid down His very own perfect life for the benefit of sinners… for the benefit of His enemies!Even if they do this poorly, you won’t find this out in the world!The writer of Hebrews tells the reader to gather together to stimulate one another to love and good deeds and to encourage one another.The early church in Acts - in the face of a hostile culture and government - shared everything, even through severe persecution. They were joyful! We all remember 1 For 13 - the love chapter, love is patient, love is kind, long-suffering, doesn’t boast, etc. But have you considered that 1 Cor 13 follows 1 Cor 12? And what is in 12? Paul is telling the church that EVERYONE has gifts, and they’re all needed like parts of a body. He’s talking to a dysfunctional church, by the way. He’s saying, none is more important than another, but all are needed. So how do you bring this diversity of people together from chapter 12? Love. Chapter 13. If I speak with tongues of men and angels, but don’t have love? I’m just noise. Even if I give away all my possessions, if I don’t have love I don’t gain a thing.So, to summarize and bring this back around. How can a religious community help? These are the people that will love you and you will love. These are people to serve and be served by.In hard times, the only thing as powerful as being served… is serving others. And serving one another in view of how Christ served? It’s the ultimate loving community. No room for pride, but there’s room for everyone.If you haven’t found this to be true, go out and find this community. It’s out there. We’re out here. And we have room for you. These are the people that will pray for you and love you.o   If our listener is feeling pretty bad, down and out, lost, etc….do you have any hope you can provide them?First off, you don’t hope for something you already have. You only hope when you’re in need. So, hope only exists in need. If you’re in need, then there’s hope!Hope is so human! Every good story has a crisis in the plot. Then somewhere from the doubt and despair, hope emerges! Hope floats, as they say. The greater the crisis, the greater the hope, the greater the victory.If hope requires a crisis… if it exists in need, don’t diminish the crisis, don’t downplay the need. Don’t numb or dull the pain. Embrace the crisis.§  What does it mean to have hope?Hope is celebrating the trials, knowing that they bring perseverance, which brings proven character, which brings more hope. (Romans 5:3) From a Christian point of view, if God was able to raise Christ from the dead… if His promises of future glory are true, how can hope disappoint? He not only gave the example of Christ persevering, He gave assurance of that reality through resurrection! Death, sickness, my own failure, and certainly not a derecho can stop that kind of hope! What is this life? It’s just a proving ground!We recognize it’s a mess here. It’s been that way from the beginning. Sometimes it seems unfair (Job). Sometimes it just seems hopeless. Mankind has been in this difficult situation for all his existence, but there’s hope! And it’s beautiful! The wildflowers and crops grow on the cow turds and decaying plants.§  Any key verses to remember to help power through harvest?I have two.My favorite is from Job 5:7. Job has lost everything and he’s sad and angry, sitting in the ashes of his estate full of sores. His terrible friends come to sit with him and make him feel better, but they just keep telling Job he must have done something terrible to deserve all this. And his friend Eliphaz says, “For man is born for trouble as sparks fly upward.” No truer words were ever spoken. Hey, life is hard. As sure as the sparks fly up from a fire, man is born for trouble.The second came from my senior pastor. Galatians 6:9 - Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.Put them together - Life is hard, but don’t lose heart in doing good. We’ll harvest in due time if we don’t grow weary.o   What are some good resources for those in need through the church in general?The greatest resource I can recommend is just any old friend. Start reaching out. Find a friend. Search #agtwitter and start following people. My friend, Kyle Samp at @mocornfarmer is a great follow. Sow Hope and Hank Wade are others. Seriously, I have found the best little community here on Twitter.  Follow me or just send me a message at benjamin austic. The second, of course, is a local church. If it’s truly doing what the church was put here to do, then it is the community that God has designed to provide for all your needs. I serve in a Southern Baptist Church, but any denomination has resources.Third, if you’re not interested or you’re hesitant to look here, if it comes to suicidal thoughts, the suicide hotline is (800) 273-8255. Don’t wait. There’s hope, you may not believe it but you can get to the place where you can. Persevere. Keep moving forward. Don’t let suicide be the end of your story.o   What could you say to the person who doesn’t think this is them or doesn’t think the religious community can help?If the objection is previous hurt:I’ve said before, and I’ll say again… if all of the people who have been hurt by church, showed up at church on a given Sunday, we couldn’t hold all the people. I understand. But the church of Jesus is a place that is healing, not hurting. Opening up to people makes you vulnerable, but it’s necessary. Don’t lose heart!Being disconnected from a body leads to death. Cut off your finger and see how long it lives! You’re the same way. You need to be connected in order to maintain a faith. You need the blood that pumps through the rest of the body. They need you, as well.o   What can we do to help others who are battling all forms of stress and anxiety?Ask people. Don’t be afraid of the weird question- are you doing okay? You’ll be shocked at how many people around you want to be asked that question. Also, don’t be afraid to ask how you can be praying for someone.Be sensitive. Hurting people can be prickly. They may lash out. Be kind. You don’t have to respond to everything. Love is patient and kind. It doesn’t respond in anger. Be understanding. You’re not a doormat when you do this, you’re showing them a kindness— one that we’ve all been shown.

In today’s episode, we’re sharing a really fun interview we had with Dr. Richard Ryan, one of the originators of Self-Determination Theory. Self-Determination Theory is considered one of the leading theories of human motivation and has been adopted by thousands of scientists worldwide. As a clinical psychologist, consultant, and researcher, Dr. Richard Ryan studies human motivation and how factors within schools, workplaces, and other environments affect people’s persistence, quality of behavior, and well-being.   In today’s episode, we discuss the research and theory behind what motivates us to do better and become the best versions of ourselves. Dr. Ryan explains the Self-Determination Theory; how it can help us achieve happiness and satisfaction through becoming more connected, competent, and in control; and the social and cultural factors that may be facilitating (or undermining) our sense of initiative, well-being, and our ability to perform.   We really go deep in this episode with Dr. Ryan! He shares his expertise on how to build the life you want, the differences between external vs. internal motivation, the obstacles that are blocking you from connecting to your intrinsic motivation (which, in turn, block you from achieving success in all areas of your life), how to get to a place where you feel authentically you (and become even closer to the intimate connections in your life), as well as how to reignite your purpose in life!

John Fagan is co-founder and CEO of Doorkee, making NYC apartment seeking easier and cheaper for everyone. After a challenging experience with moving, John and his co-founder Jordan Franklin began building Doorkee in 2017. Doorkee is a New York based startup aimed at solving one of urban living's biggest hassles--apartment hunting. They're creating a peer-to-peer marketplace to reshape how and when apartment renting happens. Doorkee helps landlords increase their revenues by decreasing vacancy time between tenants, while departing tenants can make up to half month's rent by letting apartment seekers see their apartments. Apartment seekers can then find and close on their next apartment on their own schedule, months earlier than before. Doorkee is free to post, and their closings cost way less than paying a broker.
