If you are human than you have most likely experienced burn out in some form (in your form). So, what conversation are you having with yourself regarding burnout? What does it look like for you? How compassionate are you towards yourself when you are burnt out? How much of a human are you allowing yourself to be? How are you moving beyond?  In this episode Erez talks about his recent experiences with burnout, his eventual acceptance of his human-ness and how moving beyond meant leaving a lot of unknowns and uncertainty in the past.

Erez Shek lost himself to the diagnosis of bipolar. He became depressed, felt like his life lost meaning, and although his doctors were saying different pills could fix it, what Erez was going through was deeper than all that. He has lost belief in himself. He scheduled his own death, and used his bipolar medication to take his life. Thank goodness it did not work. Now Erez hosts the Shek Check podcast where he inspires others to adopt self awareness and fact check themselves often. Erez is passionate about highlighting guests with lived experiences and knowledge to inspire listeners to check themselves, as well as sharing his own self-awareness finds.

The Shek Check podcast highlights the need to fact check ourselves. A self-check. The Shek Check started in 2016 after Erez survived a suicide attempt. The realization of the avoidance of self is what drove the need for him to check himself. He created a youtube channel to share that journey and along the way saw the importance of others sharing their journey's as well. In 2017 The Shek Check podcast was born. Highlighting guests with lived experiences and knowledge to inspire listeners to check themselves, as well as sharing his own self-awareness finds.

We all have had (or have) those people in our lives that frustrate us because of how they communicate....or how we think they don't communicate. We will blame them for the miscommunication, we create conflict around the miscommunication or lack of communication, and we exhaust ourselves trying to find ways to create "healthier" forms of communication with this person or people. Does the struggle help? Does the conflict help? Does focusing on fixing them or you help? Could acceptance help? In this episode, Erez Shek explores the idea of acceptance surrounding communication with others. Setting aside the labels of "communication styles" and the everchanging fixes to create "healthy communication" with others- can we find acceptance of the other and ourselves?

2020 has been exhausting right? So, it might feel natural to look at 2021 as the answer to all our problems. Is that helpful though?

We think the only way to create change, to grow or to become more than we are right now is to always go-go-go. We might believe that our productivity is defined by our ability to "push it real good". We might believe that if we have free time, then we have to fill it up as much as possible. We might think that slowing down prevents that, or makes us look weak, or makes us lazy. Perhaps we need a Willy Wonka moment here to "strike that, reverse it". What if yielding, slowing our roll, is actually what we need? Host https://theshekcheck.com/ (Erez Shek) talks about the benefits of switching our mindset, and the behaviors we have clung to for so long, The power of yielding for change.

Sitting down with Journalist and Filmmaker http://www.jasonhanasik.com/about (Jason Hanasik) to talk about his new film http://www.jasonhanasik.com/a-childhood-on-fire ("A Childhood on Fire". ) “A Childhood on Fire” is a film about the father figures who violated Nick, the effects that abuse had on Nick's sense of self and security, and the ways he is interrupting a cycle of violence so that his two boys thrive.While my conversation with Jason was focused on "A Childhood on Fire" and his previous film http://www.jasonhanasik.com/how-to-make-a-pearl ("How to Make a Pearl"), I really got to see how his curiosity in others created space within him.

You are so bipolar! The weather is so bipolar!  We have to stop using this word as an adjective to describe. Bipolar disorder is a serious medical condition that affects around 60 million people worldwide.  People with bipolar disorder experience a pattern of depressive and manic or hypomanic episodes. It can impact a person’s mood, energy levels, and ability to function. It’s not the same as being moody or unpredictable. Today my guest Erez and I talk about his journey getting his diagnosis and how labels do not define us as a person.  Erez is the creator and host of The Shek Check podcast, which is dedicated to normalizing conversations around how we think, feel and behave. In his podcast, you will hear the real and raw conversations he has with his guests from all around the world. His motto is “Let's check ourselves before we wreck ourselves.'' Guest Contact: Follow Erez on Instagram, and check out his website. For information on this episode check out the show notes here. 

Erez Shek is on a mission to bring awareness to Mental Health and Wellness. He is the host of the Shek Check podcast which normalizes how we think, feel and behave. Erez has raw conversations about their lived experiences and expertise with mental health and wellness. It's all so we can check ourselves before we wreck ourselves. YO! Erez opens up to me about his lived experience with Mental Wellbeing and some of the tumultuous experiences he has had on the road to where he is today.   Links: website || Twitter || Instagram || Facebook || Youtube    Show notes: Formative experience from a young age (3.50) Seeing himself as a person at an early age (9.40) The point of changing the trajectory (18.00) The process of starting (24.16) Developing empathy and acceptance for himself (31.00) Last and Next Uncomfortable things (43.44) Challenge this week (49.50)

Here we are, Season Two of the podcast! This was very exciting to me. I desire structure and schedule, but have never really had that consistency within my life, for a multitude of reasons, but we've gone 21 consecutive weeks without missing a deadline. This is a massive milestone for me and something I am quite pleased we've been able to do. I definitely hope you've been enjoying the show and we can't thank everyone enough for all their support, sharing with their friends, family colleagues, loved ones etc... We hope you continue to show the love, reach out to us with your guest(s) suggestions and continued comments regarding The We in Me Podcast so we can, in turn, continue to bring you a diverse group of guests, views and content for many more seasons to come! Without all of your support we wouldn't have made it this far, so again we thank you. This weeks episode comes to you via a guest post from Theresa over at dis-sos.com. She shared this piece on her blog and I very much can appreciate her sharing this knowledge within her religion, church leaders and patrons in attempts to bring about much needed change and understanding. We hope you enjoy her word and again, please take heed of the trigger warnings in this episode. See everyone next week!

Erez Shek was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in 1999 and ever since has been on his own rocky journey to find the truest of acceptance that means living with a mental illness, not being one. After surviving a suicide attempt in September 2016, Erez decided he would do whatever he could do to inspire that living with a Mental Illness is possible and to educate that Mental Health is something every single person should be aware of. Its not just for people living with a Mental Illness.Teaching those who do not live with (or affected by) a Mental Illness about what they are, and that we are still individuals with the hope people understand that none of us are Textbook Definitions. Erez created THE SHEK CHECK on YouTube to create video's that take a comedic (and sometimes musical) approach to addressing Mental Health Awareness and educating on Mental Illness as he continues his journey while working on his first Memoir. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/psyc101/support
