This conversation couldn't be more timely. The world is so troubled and it's difficult to think there's anything we can do about it. Truth is, we DO have the power to make change. We CAN have an impact. There really is hope! Moshe Gersht is the author of the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling book It's All the Same to Me. He's a TEDx speaker and spiritual teacher who has devoted his life to seamlessly bridging the worlds of mystical wisdom, the true nature of the human mind, and our collective struggles. (Find out more at MosheGersht.com.) After performing for nearly a decade as a popular Los Angeles–based musician, Moshe moved to Jerusalem, where he has spent the last fifteen years immersed in discovering the Truth of who he is (the Truth of who we all are). For years he studied under the guidance of several of the world's premier rabbinical figures and has found a niche for himself sharing his love of life, people, and spirit through speaking, teaching, and writing.

Bio By Lisa Evers I don't even know where to begin, But all my life, I have had digestive issues, so I have always been aware of what I was eating to notice how I felt. When I was young, it was IBS-d, then moved to constipation. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in my early 20s. After that diagnosis, I was worried that weight gain was going to be a side effect, so I started to do things to make sure that didn't happen. I felt like I was becoming obsessed with staying the way I was. I have never had a weight issue, and I almost became “obsessed” with making sure I didn't get one!  I did all the things not to gain weight and stay fit while trying to monitor my digestive issues. I was on some of the “plan” all the time, which led to a diet brain even though I had no weight to lose. This went on for almost 30 years; I found IF, and the rest of my story is about freedom! All my obsessions are starting to fade, and my mind is clear to think of the things that are important to me. The Fasting Highway News THE AUDIOBOOK IS HERE!!!

How would your life change emotionally, physically, and mentally after the loss of a child? Debbie Gail is a strong, resilient woman who has transformed her pain into her purpose.  Her journey began when she faced the challenges of her son's mental illness and addiction, eventually leading to his tragic loss. Throughout our conversation, Debbie takes us on her journey of finding peace and purpose amidst the challenges of her loved one's mental illness and addiction struggles.  Debbie realized early on that her need for certainty fueled her fear and prevented her from finding inner peace.  Replacing the need for certainty with a desire to contribute and help others was a powerful way for Debbie to choose peace over fear.  Debbie discovered her true calling - to support and guide other parents and family members who were going through similar struggles. Waiting for circumstances to be perfect is unnecessary, and Debbie encourages parents to embrace their children as they are, starting from now.  Debbie's passion for helping other parents contributed to her writing a book, Finding Peace and Purpose amidst the Tears, so no parent feels alone. The most important point in our conversation is this; living in peace and not fear is a choice. Please enjoy my conversation with Debbie Gail.

Yeah, definitely. Those anger spike moments and realizing,  you know, to do that breath work and realizing what's going on; hey, you're losing it, you're losing it. And you're losing your self-control of the situation.  Take that breath, you know, back up, look at the picture of what's actually going on. Thoughts On Breathing Yeah. I mean, man, I have the book Breath by James Nester. I couldn't believe when I was reading through that phenomenal book, with just the different techniques and stuff. There are also so many apps out there these days. There is also pranayama. Sometimes it's actually just called prana.   Bullying Story I have talked to my kids about bullying. The nice thing for them anyway, is their mom is also six foot tall. So both of my kids are head and shoulders taller than everyone else in their class. So I have tried to instill in them that they are probably stronger than most of the kids around them, and it's their duty to be a protector for others. I have tried to instill in them, rather than using their strength for bad, use that strength for good.

In a health crisis, we often refer to our journey as a "battle." We may see ourselves as "warriors." This is true for those impacted by Alzheimer's and dementia. The diagnosis brings uncertainty, disruption, and fear. But what happens when you're dealing with dementia in the middle of a war zone? When airstrikes are the norm, and screeching sirens interrupt each day, warning you to seek safety and shelter in a minute or less? When ordinary life ceases and the top of mind issue is simply staying alive? Avoiding disaster? Breathing? On October 7th, Miriam Green, an AlzAuthor living in Israel, found her life as a caregiver turned upside down when terrorists invaded her country. In this podcast, she shares with us the horror and brutality of what occurred, how her country, her family, friends and community have been affected by this conflict, and how they are dealing with it. She is a mother, daughter, grandmother, and wife, and like most women juggles her responsibilities as best as she can on a good day. Now, she struggles to find peace in the chaos, searching for meaningful, uplifting moments, even hope, while carefully balancing her family's needs. We are grateful to her for speaking with us. We take no sides in this conflict and pray for a peaceful resolution soon. In this episode, you will: Learn how Miriam finds brief moments of solace and peace in the midst of warSee how her mother's care community maintains a routine and stability for their patients even in the most challenging of circumstances, giving them a sense of familiarity and security.Discover the unique challenges faced by caregivers who are helping to raise grandchildren while caring for aging parents in war timeGain insights into the power of hope and resilience in the face of adversity, and learn how to nurture these qualities within yourself and your care recipients About Miriam Green Miriam Greenis the author of The Lost Kitchen: Reflections and Recipes from an Alzheimer's Caregiver.

Welcome back, friends! I hope all my American listeners enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving. I wanted to do a special solo "Coach's Corner" episode today focusing on gratitude and how it impacts our health as we age.  I've actually covered gratitude in a few past episodes that are worth mentioning again: - Back in March 2021, I interviewed Debbie Waynez and we talked about how intentional gratitude helped her journey from profound grief to absolute joy. That episode is titled "Journey From Heartbreak to Joy."  https://silveredgefitness.com/episode44/ - And just last month, I had an enlightening chat with Dr. Greg Hamer about finding peace and purpose through gratitude even during chaotic times. That episode was called "Finding Peace in Purpose Through Gratitude."https://silveredgefitness.com/242-2/ So gratitude is a recurring theme on this podcast because I firmly believe embracing gratitude is truly life changing. Let's explore why it's so critical to our health and how we can make it a daily practice. The Transformative Power of Gratitude - Gratitude goes far beyond just saying thanks - it's a state of appreciation and noticing the blessings we do have. - Research shows grateful people suffer less aches and pains, report better health, tend to sleep better at night, and have decreased feelings of anxiety, frustration and envy. - Gratitude helps us better weather life's inevitable ups and downs with resilience, self-worth and deep spiritual connectivity. 3 Ways to Build a Gratitude Practice 1. Keep a Gratitude Journal - Take a few minutes each day to write down a short list of things you're grateful for. The key is consistency with this exercise.  - Try the 30 Day Challenge where you write down 3 new things you're grateful for every single day. It gets harder as the days go on, which builds your awareness. 2. Incorporate Gratitude Meditation/Prayer  - No need for structured meditation - take brief moments during your day to pause and appreciate things around you.  - Prayer works too! Personally I start and end each day with short gratitude prayers which grounds me and helps me sleep. 3. Express Gratitude to Others - Tell people in your life what they mean to you. Write thank you notes. Verbal appreciation strengthens relationships. - There are also great gratitude apps available with prompts and reminders. And leverage technology to build community around gratitude. Remember it takes consistency and you will have ups and downs. But pick one or two gratitude practices that work for you and give them an honest try. I promise you will start to notice positive changes! Gratitude transforms lives in profound ways. I hope you'll join me on this journey toward better health and deeper fulfillment. We have so much to be thankful for, my friends. I appreciate YOU for listening! Let's practice the spirit of Thanksgiving all year round. Stay grateful out there!Want to rewrite the narrative of your life and health?

In this solo episode, host Erin Kerry brings listeners a special message on how to find calm during the chaos of the holiday season. This message combines science, Scripture, and Erin's practical coaching tips to bring much needed supportive tools during what can often be a stressful time.

Finding peace as a parent may feel like an elusive dream. Fear not, because in the chaos lies the opportunity for mindful parenting—where small, intentional moments can weave tranquility into the tapestry of your daily routine. Let's embark on a journey of discovery, exploring practical and simple mindful parenting practices that can bring moments of peace even in the busiest of lives.

Our human nature is not God-centered, but self-centered. None of these worldly things have any real power to cure the human heart or heal our sins, but Jesus does. You must walk out of the darkness into the light if you want to find peace in an anxious world, you must choose confession over concealment. So, where is your darkness? Where is your sin? How can confession become a part of your spiritual journey? Where do you need to start? When your honesty collides with the mercy of Christ, deliverance happens.

The opposite of anxiety is peace, and in today's episode with Dr. John Delony, we are talking through exactly how to build a non-anxious life and ultimately find peace, in ALL of your relationships. We're discussing the complexities of vulnerability in relationships, plus the difference between trust-building and oversharing. We're then exploring the consequences of the 'I don't want to bother people' mentality, the overuse of the term "toxic," and the importance of setting healthy boundaries.

We are all bombarded by collective messaging of the importance of money, causing most of us to equate money to our literal survival. It's no wonder that we feel so anxious when we perceive scarcity around money in our lives. Yet even this core wound can be  shifted through intentional care of ourselves, creating more internal security and allowing the flow of abundance into your life.   Florence is here seeking guidance, as she is experiencing anxiety around her financial security at the moment. She's noticed that her typical pattern of responding to financial stress is through panic and hard work. Today, Florence and I have a meaningful conversation that helps her to intentionally choose her path forward, and be able to address her situation with more ease and peace.   During her reading we discuss: How core wounds affect your daily life Over-caring for others, and not knowing how to take up space for yourself Understanding how security comes from INSIDE YOU, not from outside How to nurture and care for your younger self The illusionary collective stories about money and scarcity that we get caught in How important it is to be open to Ayni, both giving and receiving I hope this reading allows you to look into your heart and lean into receiving, as a portal to create more love and abundance in your life.   Make sure to check out the following Helpful Links:   Visit my website: http://www.SarahNoble.com/ Take the Quiz!

This weekend, we began a new series on Finding Peace in an Anxious World as we prepare for the Christmas season. Terrence spoke about the power of Hope over Despair, that it's not just a mere feeling, but a participation and a commitment. In the Christian life, hope is about being fully committed to a Christian mind. John 14:27 reminds us of the gift of peace that is available to us: "I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." We want to invite you to join us next Sunday as we continue our discussion on Confession over Concealment, where we can explore ways to find peace and comfort in our lives.

It's important to acknowledge that not everyone experiences the same level of distress, but for those who do, it can be quite challenging. Often, people turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms because they feel overwhelmed and can't access other options. To break free from this cycle, we introduce the concept of radical acceptance. It's a combination of cognitive restructuring, acceptance, and mindfulness. By recognizing the reality of our current situation without blame or anger, we can regain control and make better decisions. Letting go of self-judgment and self-criticism is essential, as it only perpetuates the cycle of anxiety. Instead, we suggest using coping statements like "this is what it is" and "I can't change what has already happened" to shift our focus and find ways to move forward. We often find ourselves dwelling on the past, wishing we could change things and blaming ourselves for our mistakes. But radical acceptance teaches us to let go of blame and anger and understand that our present circumstances are the result of a series of events, not a single situation. When we fight with the past, we only fuel our stress response and drain our energy. Instead, we need to focus on the present moment, because that's where we have control and the power to take action. Even if we don't like what's happening, we have to accept that this moment is perfect because it's happening. We can't change the past or predict the future, but we can make clear decisions and take action in the present. It's important to avoid getting caught up in worrying about what might happen and instead bring ourselves back to what is happening now. Learn more about your ad choices.

I'm thrilled to share my recent conversation with Dr. Greg Hammer. Dr. Hammer is a pediatric anesthesiologist and professor at Stanford who has become a leading expert on burnout, wellness, and happiness practices.  In this inspiring discussion, we covered a lot of ground on how we can overcome negativity bias and chronic stress to live with more gratitude, joy, and purpose day-to-day. Dr. Hammer introduced the GAIN method - a powerful mindfulness routine that takes just minutes but can rewire your brain for positivity if practiced daily.  Here were some of my biggest takeaways from our talk: - We all tend to have a negativity bias thanks to our evolutionary wiring and get distracted from the miracle of each moment. Simple gratitude practices can retrain our brains. - Acceptance is key - if we can discern what we can and cannot change, we avoid useless suffering. Living in the present requires letting go of judging and resisting. - Intention grounds us in purposeful action steps, however small, that over time transform our thinking. Effort compounds. - There is an upward spiral between daily mindfulness habits, open-heartedness, and connection to something larger than ourselves. Spirituality and science meet in the middle. I highly recommend tuning in to hear the full discussion and Dr. Hammer's insights on how we can gain more lightness and joy, even during stressful times. By being mindful each day, we can overcome our biologically engrained pessimism and discover newfound happiness and gratitude. The practical steps covered here can help anyone - especially if you're over 50 and realizing time is precious. I'm committed to making the GAIN routine part of my daily ritual going forward.

Sending loving kindness to the world. This episode is shared out of love. We share our perspectives as a loving response to things happening in the world that exemplify the worst sides of humanity: hatred, othering, the taking of innocent lives.  Current events bring up uncomfortable emotions: fear, anxiety, shame, guilt, and our tendencies for over-responsibility. They also can become catalysts to show the best sides of us as humans: love, compassion, understanding, compassion.  When troubling and traumatizing world events happen, they often create divisiveness, further othering, and polarization.  This “us versus them” mentality stems from our fundamental building blocks, and we all too easily fall back into viewing the world with binary judgements as a protective, scarcity, and fear driven lens. Whether or not we acknowledge or like it we are all somehow interconnected. We are all human beings, living in this moment in time, together, sharing space on this earth.  We are not trying to dissuade you from pursuing your own aligned chosen response.  Everyone gets to chose their own relationship to events happening in the world. We often judge ourselves and our own reactions to current reactions. Are they felt deeply enough? Are they appropriate? Are they adequate? We also judge how others should relate to current events.  We invite you to show up for today with intention rather than reactivity. Mindfulness allows us to navigate the rough seas of life, it allows us to see the world as it is, just as it is, in its most scary, ugly, times, and in its most beautiful, loving times.  Mindfulness can help us observe our emotional and physical phenomena.   We can't rid ourselves entirely of reactivity but we can slow it down, and notice it, with mindfulness.  We can give ourselves the space to feel the emotions, truly experience the present moment as upsetting as it may be, and then be open in choosing a response.   We are often quick to judge, as this is how we have been engrained, evolutionarily as humans.   Mindfulness allows us to stay curious about the differences in experiences, perspectives, lived and historical.   You can give yourself permission to own your response to aspects of humanity's suffering. You can choose where you place your energies - what you attend to, and how you intend to show up.  While social media, the news, your friends and loved ones, colleagues might expect, want, you to react or respond in a certain way, you alone, have ownership over your thoughts, emotions, and actions. “Everyone is on their own life journey. I am not the cause of this person's suffering nor is it entirely within my power to make it go away even though I wish I could.  Moments like these can be difficult to bear, yet I may still try to help if I can.” - the equanimity phrase from the Mindful Self-Compassion curriculum Some questions to help you show up in alignment for challenging situations.  The answers will be different for each of us and will likely be different in different moments in time. How do you want to respond? What would peace do? Or a wish for peace? What would equanimity or a desire for equanimity do? What would caring do? What would love do?  What will your future self wish you had done?   These questions are designed to help you focus on what is in your control while also not abandoning your own well- being and health as you worry for humanity.  May you be well. May you find peace. May you be free from harm.

There are moments in life that decide your fate. They ripple into the future and dictate how you experience the world in the moments that follow; either positive and uplifting, dark and chaotic, or flat and dull.What if you could recognize these moments before they seized control of your life?What if you could use them to set sail for a better future? What if all moments, big and small, could be harnessed this way?These are the questions that Oxford Professor Mark Williams and Dr. Danny Penman address in their wonderful new book, Deeper Mindfulness: A New Way to Rediscover Calm in a Chaotic World, which you can pick up wherever books are sold.These questions are also at the heart of our conversation today which is the second in our stress and anxiety series here on the podcast. Each episode in this series invites some of the world's leading experts to share inspiring insights, practical tools, and helpful resources for navigating stress and anxiety more effectively in our lives. Miss the first episode in the series?
