Podcasts about for your own good

Born Christopher John Cheney in 1975, Chris graduated with a VCE from Wheelers Hill Secondary College. Chris played guitar since age 6 and studied jazz at Box Hill Tafe in 1994-95. However, it was at a barbecue Chris' was introduced by his sister to Scott Owen. In 1992 they formed a cover band called 'The Runaway Boys' taken from a Stray Cats song of the same name which performed covers of the band's songs with the odd original song thrown in. In 1994 he got his first album with The Living End who formed with a drummer called Joe Piripitzi who was later kicked out for musical differences. In 1995 the EP 'Hellbound' was released and The Living End was made. In 1996 they released another EP called 'It's For Your Own Good' and had success by sending a T-shirt to Green Day for a gig as their supporting act. In 1997 after Joe was replaced with new drummer Trav Demsey, The Living End cut their first single, entitled "Prisoner Of Society/Second Solution". Two songs from their debut album. This followed up with more success of their self-titled album 'The Living End'. In 2000 this followed with the album 'Roll On'. In 2001 Chris was involved in a severe car accident with his girlfriend Emma who escaped with minor injuries but left Chris in a wheelchair with a broken leg and 3 pins to replace some of the muscle that was damaged. After 2 years of resting and writing songs for the new album they were back in the studio where Trav quit due to a disliking of heavy touring and to spend more time with his family. The Living End were stranded. They spent two days auditioning 40 drummers of which the first was Andy Strachan. Their current drummer. The boys hit the studio and recorded a 14 track album entitled 'Modern ARTillery' which was released in 2003. In 2004 the boys hit the studio once more to record 2 more tracks, "I Can't Give You What I Haven't Got" and "Bringin' It All Back Home". This was a greatest hits album called 'From Here On In: The Singles (1997-2004)'. The same year he formed tribute super group The Wrights with Nic Cester (Jet) - Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger) - Phil Jamieson (Grinspoon) - Kram (Spiderbait) - Davey Lane (You Am I/The Pictures) and Pat Bourke (Dallas Crane). He performed with the band as the lead and rhythm guitarist for parts 1 and 3 respectively and later released Stevie Wrights hit Evie with all three songs of "Evie: (Let You Hair Hang Down)", "Evie: (Evie)" which Chris was not involved with and "Evie: (I'm Losing You)". It wasn't until 2005 the boys hit the studio again to record the fifth album entitled "State Of Emergency" released in 2006. After almost a year and a half of touring Chris left the band and took up yoga and painting while his other band mates hit the surf. It wasn't until late 2007 that they hit the studio again to write and rehearse songs which resulted in the band's sixth studio album 'White Noise' with a single of the same name. Since then the boys have been performing to the general public throughout Australia, Japan, USA and more.

It's For Your Own Good. We conclude our reading and discussion of Dostoevsky's, The Grand Inquisitor. What are we willing to sacrifice to accept the devil's offer of miracles, mystery, and authority? Why do we surrender to temptation, and what do we expect are the consequences? What can we learn from Jesus' rejection of the devil's temptations, and what does that mean for Christians today? — SHOW NOTES: The Grand Inquisitor By Fyodor Dostoyevsky https://stephenhicks.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/DostoevskyF-Grand-Inquisitor-text.pdf  The Same with Pictures and Introduction https://www2.hawaii.edu/~freeman/courses/phil100/11.%20Dostoevsky.pdf Nietzsche's Christ https://www.1517.org/articles/nietzsches-christ  The Gospel in Dostoyevsky https://amzn.to/3IEKlRM  SUPPORT 1517 Podcast Network https://www.1517.org/podcasts/ Support the work of 1517 http://1517.org/give Warrior Priest Gym & Podcast https://thewarriorpriestpodcast.wordpress.com St John's Lutheran Church (Webster, MN) - FB Live Bible Study Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/356667039608511 Gillespie's Sermons and Catechesis: https://anchor.fm/stjohnrandomlake Gillespie Coffee https://gillespie.coffee Gillespie Media https://gillespie.media The Banned Pastors https://t.me/bannedpastors CONTACT and FOLLOW BannedBooks@1517.org Facebook Twitter SUBSCRIBE YouTube Rumble Odysee Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Overcast Google Play TuneIn Radio iHeartRadio

Hello and welcome to Episode Forty Seven of Page Turn: the Largo Public Library Podcast. I'm your host, Hannah! If you enjoy the podcast subscribe, tell a friend, or write us a review! The English Language Transcript can be found below But as always we start with Reader's Advisory! The Reader's Advisory for Episode Forty Seven is Gentlemen & Players by Joanne Harris. If you like the sound of Gentlemen & Players you should also check out: The Drama Teacher by Koren Zailckas, For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing, and The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring. Bonus segment my personal favorite Goodreads list Gentlemen & Players is on is Chess Themed Fiction Happy Reading Everyone Today's Library Tidbit is about keeping track of your reading and book journaling! For those of us that read, keeping track of books you've read is an important step. There are multiple reasons why someone would keep track of their reading, from simply remembering which books they've read, to knowing where in a series they left off, to noting authors they like or don't like. But how to keep track of this information? How to know how much information to keep track of? Where to even start? Well, there are no good answers to these questions because it's very subjective! There are online resources you can use to keep track of your reading, Goodreads and Storygraph, even an excel spreadsheet for those of you who like to program your own. You can also use good old pen and paper. The upside to using an online resource is that you can search quickly to figure out where in a series you are, what the next book is, and also if you have or have not read a title. The downside to online resources is that often they cannot be personalized. Someone who keeps track of their reading using a journal is more easily able to add their own thoughts and feelings, even draw images or create collages that connect thoughts, opinions, and feelings about a book. It all depends on the reader! The library can also keep track of your library reading history, but only if you ask us! For privacy reasons the library does not automatically keep track of items that you have had checked out. However, a lot of readers find the convenience of being able to see which library items they've checked out to be more important for them than the privacy of not having records available to subpoena or warrant. If you are interested in keeping track of your library item history then talk to a library staff member and they can turn that on for you. It will not be able to know which items you have already returned to the library, but it will keep track of items from that day until you turn it off. I personally, need to keep track of what titles I've read. Like most readers, I read a lot, and I read series. Nothing is worse than when you find out a new book in a series is coming out but you're not sure where you left off. Reading through book summaries trying to figure out where you stopped, trying to remember if you stopped reading this series for a reason, or even reading the series starting over from book one, all take more time and energy than having a track record of what you've already read. Over the years the library has seen plenty of different ways readers keep track of their reading. Our least favorite, and one we will ask that you do not do, is when readers physically mark books with their own private secret code, so that if they pick it up again, they know if they have or have not read it. We do not like when patrons put marks in our books, but also having a personal mark lets us know just how many books a reader has marked up and we will grab them as evidence when asking you to stop marking in our books. We have also seen readers come in with notebooks, separated by author, with series written down in order and check marks next to titles already read. This is a great resource for readers who like to read specific authors,

For Your Own Good

In this episode, I give a shoutout to the https://discomfortclub.com for being awesome...Then I go into sound money. Why is unsound money socialist? How did it happen? The world's biggest ponzi scheme is still rolling forward and it was built on the premise that FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, they need the ability to debase the currency. Just because it's the way they've done it for 110 years, doesn't make it less of a ponzi scheme.

Falling into the trap of self-criticism becomes our usual pattern when setbacks occur. It confines us in this dark pit within ourselves that surrounds us with harsh judgments whenever we encounter failures. Be that as it may, we are not alone. Everyone is bound to commit mistakes. Even the greatest personalities have done something they're not proud of. To embrace our flaws, we need to practice self-compassion and understand that we are still a work in progress.    In this episode, Elise talks about mindful self-compassion and its relevance to our daily journey of finding ourselves. She also discusses how the practice is not about self-indulgence nor a form of self-pity. Finally, she shares how we can learn self-compassion through the different resources available today.    If you want to harness the power of self-compassion, this episode is for you!  Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode: Understand the meaning of self-compassion  Learn how to practice self-compassion daily Discover the connection between self-compassion and happiness Resources Get a copy of The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer The previous episode of Elise's podcast: Episode 4 | 8 Healing Resources to Return Home to Yourself Read The Feeling Wheel by Gloria Willcox  Check out Hardwiring Happiness by Rick Hanson  Grab a copy of For Your Own Good by Alice Miller  Try the Insight Timer  Sign up for Elise's Newsletter and receive a FREE PDF to start your self-compassion journey!

However, our problems would be lessened if we start practicing self-compassion.  Self-compassion allows us to release ourselves from self-hatred and judgments.  We don't have to pressure ourselves to be better at everything.  [06:37] The Pillars of Self-Compassion Self-compassion has three pillars: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness.  We have the tendency to fall into self-criticism whenever we talk about ourselves.  Mindfulness brings us to the present. It helps us examine our thoughts and how it affects our body.  Self-kindness means building up ourselves amid difficult times. We know the best way to help ourselves.    Elise: “[We] don't have to abandon ourselves or look outside of ourselves every time something goes wrong. We can start first to access this well that's within us that will never run dry.” [11:02] Creating Space to Be Whole Most people assume that self-compassion is a means for self-pity or boosting ego. On the contrary, it is actually the practice of carving space to find and be your true self.  Let yourself experience your emotions and understand how you respond to the present situation.   We must not only embody our positive emotions but also accept the negative ones too.  [15:00] What Doesn't Fall Under Self-Compassion  Self-compassion is not about self-esteem. It's about practicing kindness towards ourselves and accepting our reality.  Showing kindness to yourself means checking your emotional and physical state.  Hatred stems from our malnourished souls trying to find ways to boost their fragile self-esteem. [18:31] Reset and Center  Mindful self-compassion helps you find your center and determine what you should prioritize. Listen to the full episode to know how self-compassion helped Elise's life.    Elise: “Just because people expect you to do things a certain way doesn't mean that that's how you have to do things. Just because you're juggling a lot of things in your life doesn't mean that you have to keep doing that.” [22:10] Accepting Imperfection Practicing self-compassion helps you accept imperfect situations and manage your expectations.  Learn to appreciate the good and bad things in life.  Be grateful for being your authentic self.  Celebrate your uniqueness.  [25:18] Coming Home to Yourself Finding yourself is a lifelong practice.  Choosing to embark on this journey means showing up every day for yourself even if it's difficult.  How we perceive life is all in our heads. We can control how we think and feel about a situation.  [27:28] Loving-Kindness Meditation Loving-kindness meditation is about deserving peace, happiness, and freedom.  It's the practice of extending the ripples of love from yourself to others.  Elise shared that she gets easily angered before. Loving-kindness meditation allowed her to extend her compassion to everyone — even to those who are difficult to empathize with.  [30:04] On Happiness  Everyone deserves to be happy.  Happy people don't inflict pain on others. Tune in to the entire episode to hear about Elise's examples of personalities with unhappy lives and how it affected them.  Self-compassion can save humanity from suffering.  [31:46] Self-Compassion Is Not Indulgence There is nothing wrong with slowing down and giving yourself a break.  Give yourself the love and care you deserve.  [32:29] Learning Loving-Kindness Once we extend our loving-kindness to everyone—even to those we find detestable—we could make the world a better place.   Loving yourself becomes easier once you start extending love and kindness to other people.    Elise: “We have to be in this cycle of giving and receiving to be in cooperation with other people [and] to live on this planet.”  [33:28] Opening Ourselves  Opening ourselves to emotions also means inviting feelings we want to avoid.  We can only meet people as deeply as we have met ourselves.  [36:33] Learning Self-Compassion  Online and personal classes are available if you're interested to learn about mindful self-compassion.  It's also possible to do this practice on your own by buying workbooks related to it.   There are also journal prompts that help in gaining insights on self-compassion.  Applications are also available for meditation practices.  [39:44] Elise's Learning Moment  Elise recognizes some parts of the podcast might have come off as offended or triggered.  Knowing her blind spots is a teaching and learning moment for her.  She initially didn't want to upload this episode. However, she applied self-compassion in the situation by analyzing her emotions and talking to people she trusts.  We must accept that messing up at some point is normal.   Elise wants to be an example in living one's authentic truth and encourages people to do the same.  Enjoyed this Episode on Mindful Self-Compassion?

Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing.Songs this week include:The Living End – “Stay Away From Me” from It's For Your Own Good (1995)The Tomb Tones – “My Girlfriend's A Zombie” from Pumpkin Guts (2020) Tiger Army – “What Happens?” from III.

I'm a Blubrry affiliate, but that's not the only reason I'm telling you this. I've been using Blubrry Podcasting as my hosting service for my podcast for years and it's one of the best decisions I ever made. They give great customer service, you're in complete control of your own podcast, you can run it from your own website, and it just takes a lot of the work out of podcasting for me. I find for that reason that it's a company that I can get behind 100% and say, “You should try this.” Try Blubrry. It doesn't require a long-term contract, and it's just a great company, period. It also has free technical support by email, video, and phone, so you can get a human being there. Isn't that nice? If you want to podcast, try out Blubrry. No long-term contract, excellent distribution, and great technical support, too, by email, video, and on the phone. I've included an affiliate link on this blog. Here's a link to a PDF copy of the interview. Debbi: Hi, everyone. Our guest today recently released her third novel. It's called FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, and has been optioned by a production company to be adapted into, I suppose, an HBO Max series. We'll have to talk about that to the extent it can be talked about. Her first novel, MY LOVELY WIFE, has been nominated for multiple awards, and is also under option to be adapted for the screen. She lives and works in New Orleans, a place that I've always wanted to visit, but have not gotten around to yet. I am pleased to have with me Samantha Downing. Hi Sam, how are you doing today? Samantha: I'm good. Thank you for having me. Debbi: Well, thank you for being here. I really, really appreciate it. The setting of your latest book reminds me of an interview I just did with another author who was an educator. And her comment to me was that she was surprised that more authors didn't set their books in schools because they're like microcosms of society. And my thought was it's like a small town. What are your thoughts on that? Samantha: Absolutely. I think there's a... In this book, in FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, there's a number of social structures that exist within the school. There is the structure between the teachers themselves. This is a private school where the kids are all wealthy. The parents pay the bills. And some of the teachers are wealthy, some of them are not. And there is a structure between the parents and the teachers. The parents pay the bills and are the donors to the school, so they think they can tell the teachers what to do. And then there are the students who drive better cars than the teachers. So, the money and the wealth and the entitlement has a lot to do with the story itself. The protagonist, or one of the main characters, is Teddy Crutcher, who is not wealthy and lives on a teacher's salary, and that is something that really drives him and his actions in the book. In this book, in FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, there's a number of social structures that exist within the school. Debbi: I was going to say,

God's Word is filled with principles that appear to be in tension, but in reality, are balancing and completing truths. God calls us to submit and obey all delegated authority. The balancing truth is, at certain times He calls us to submissively disobey delegated authority. How will we know the difference and what do we do when we get to that point? This final talk in For Your Own Good series will challenge your thinking and encourage your submission to obey or to disobey.

One of the most difficult realities we face in delegated authorities is that they are imperfect! Because of these imperfections, we may have been hurt by such an authority in the past and don't want to risk getting wounded again. God is aware of this when He chose to establish delegated authority and wants to impart wisdom in this talk as we all face the great challenge of Submitting to Imperfect Authority.God never intended this to be. In this series, For Your Own Good, we will discover God's original plan for authority, how he shares His authority and how to navigate imperfect people in positions of authority over us - all for our own good. It all begins with a decision of who we choose to be in charge.

Check out this message from our Power Within series titled, "It's For Your Own Good".

Authority can be a very confusing concept, especially when it is expressed through imperfect people. Is there a way of making sense of it all? God has clearly laid out 4 expressions of His authority and the blessing they are assigned to be to those under them.God never intended this to be. In this series, For Your Own Good, we will discover God's original plan for authority, how he shares His authority and how to navigate imperfect people in positions of authority over us - all for our own good. It all begins with a decision of who we choose to be in charge.

For Your Own Good: By Samatha Downing Website: https://gobookmart.com "No one writes a twisted character quite like Samantha Downing." —HelloGiggles “Once I sat down to read For Your Own Good — a clever, twisty thriller — it was difficult to stop reading. It's the perfect read to get lost in this summer." —Buzzfeed “Just finished reading this wonderfully dark, twisty and compelling thriller set in a prestigious private school. I raced through it, desperate to know how it would end.” —B.A. Paris, New York Times bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors "Samantha Downing delivers a slick and chilling thriller, leading readers on a dark, sinuous journey through the halls of Belmont Academy—the type of place where you're never sure who to trust, or who to fear. Suspenseful, surprising, and completely original." —Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author of The Last House Guest “Dark, sly and delicious...totally original—and totally compelling.” —JP Delaney, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Before "I'm a huge fan of Samantha Downing, who is masterful at creating diabolical characters and deliciously chilling plots. An absolutely terrific book!" —Sarah Pekkanen, New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Between Us “Samantha Downing is totally the real deal. Wry and dark and witty and clever. I didn't think she could outdo My Lovely Wife but I think this one tops it.” —Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes "Samantha Downing has achieved something so special in For Your Own Good. A story that is dark as night, sinister as hell, clever, twisting and downright fun." —Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message

When most people hear “submission to authority” it doesn't inspire the most positive emotions or willing thoughts. Authority has become synonymous with “abuse,” “domination,” “crooked," "power-hungry” and “not to be trusted." The mere mention of the word puts us on alert.God never intended this to be. In this series, For Your Own Good, we will discover God's original plan for authority, how he shares His authority and how to navigate imperfect people in positions of authority over us - all for our own good. It all begins with a decision of who we choose to be in charge.

Episode one fifty - part two Samantha Downing's newest thriller For Your Own Good takes us to a high school where the education takes a backseat to petty rivalries. And that's not even the teenagers at work. Downing's protagonist Teddy is a very creepy teacher -- and not in the way you are thinking.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Samantha Downing is the author of bestselling thrillers My Lovely Wife, He Started It. Her latest book, FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, set in a prestigious private school about a devious teacher who is determined to teach all his students a lesson, comes out July 20. She currently lives in New Orleans, where she is furiously typing away at her next novel. ABOUT THE BOOK - HE STARTED IT Beth, Portia, and Eddie Morgan haven't all been together in years. And for very good reasons--we'll get to those later. But when their wealthy grandfather dies and leaves a cryptic final message in his wake, the siblings and their respective partners must come together for a cross-country road trip to fulfill his final wish and--more importantly--secure their inheritance. But time with your family can be tough. It is for everyone. It's even harder when you're all keeping secrets and trying to forget a memory--a missing person, an act of revenge, the man in the black truck who won't stop following your car--and especially when at least one of you is a killer and there's a body in the trunk. Just to name a few reasons. But money is a powerful motivator. It is for everyone.

In this episode of Re-Storying the Culture, Camille and Tanya speak of Re-Storying "Calling." Some of the topics they cover include: Tracking your calling back to early childhood What's love got to do with it? What have you always loved, and what clues does that hold to your calling? How to discover or re-discover your connection to your calling. What's the difference between calling and purpose? What does monetizing have to do with calling? Uncovering your calling. Embracing calling beyond form.   Episode transcript   [00:00:01] Restoring the Culture is hosted by Tanya Taylor, Rubins Steam Story mentor and Camille Adair, family Constellation facilitator. In this podcast, these long term friends explore how stories serve our lives. Their inquiry meanders into the realms of science, theater, health and consciousness, moving the individual and global narratives forward as they draw upon their relationship as the laboratory for their experiments in truth. So many of us feel isolated and alone in our deepest longings.    [00:00:38] Each one of us is necessary in rediscovering the truth of our human story and listening to what is calling us forward so that we can restoring the culture together.    [00:00:52] Hello. And this is Tanya Taylor Rubenstein welcoming you back to another episode of Restoring the Culture. I'm here with my dear friend Camille Adair. And today, we're going to be talking about restoring your calling core purpose. So a quote I'd like to share with you to begin is from Randy Pausch, who was the author of The Last Lecture.    [00:01:21] The key question to keep asking is, are you spending your time on the right things? Because time is all you have.    [00:01:32] And I wanted to share that quote today because I love Randy Pausch. And if you don't know who he is.    [00:01:42] He was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University.    [00:01:45] And one of the reasons I remember that is because I went there to their theater department for a while.    [00:01:50] And when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer as a fairly young man with three young children and diagnosed a terminal diagnosis, he he did a live lecture at Carnegie Mellon. That was just supposed to be for his students. And it went on and somebody videotaped it and it went viral on the Internet probably 10 or 12 years ago. And then he wrote that book and I thought it was so beautiful.    [00:02:25] And it just so profound, so simple. But basically asking ourselves, you know, what are we spending our time on?    [00:02:35] What we're spending our time on is the way we're spending our lives and embodying our purpose and our calling or not.    [00:02:47] Yes. So, Camille, I'd love for you to jump in and beautiful.    [00:02:51] Yeah. Yeah. Such a touching, such a touching quote. And, um, I guess, you know, what, it where it takes me is that I start to start that I start to think about purpose and calling. And you know, that they're sort of like different ways that we can think about that in terms of career, in terms of. But I guess, you know, I'm actually just sort of processing this as I'm hearing the quote. And it takes me to where I I went with my work when I was working in hospice as a nurse. And then I went into management and I was managing a lot of people. And I was really struggling with the lack of sustainability in the health care culture. So I started working on organizational development and an organizational health through this idea of systemic relational health. And I started studying emotional intelligence and became certified as an assessor and was teaching emotional intelligence to health care professionals primarily and leaders. And and one of the things that that you do in building your own emotional intelligence, which is a set of skills, is that you basically identify what your you know, what you're your purposes are, what you know, in one organization, six seconds that I trained with. They call it your noble goal. And and I think that that that requires a certain level of self-awareness and a certain level of identifying what your values are. So I guess where that takes me is when I think of calling and purposes, that's as we grow and evolve and change on and and know ourselves. So does our our calling and our purpose will kind of evolve and change. I think with that, as I noticed, mine has. How about you? You have your purpose. I mean, you're your link to story. Work has been so consistent for so long. I'd love to hear about that.    [00:05:04] Yeah. Are you sure? And one of the reasons I love that quote from Randy, I think and I was just I watched his last lecture over and over.    [00:05:13] It was very meaningful to me. He talks a lot about child like Wonder.    [00:05:18] And he created a whole career around that.    [00:05:23] And I often have had, for whatever reasons, a lot of my coaching clients, a lot of my story clients coming to me over the years and people I've worked with on their stories who will sort of even off to the sick side say, and sometimes they're in their 40s or 50s, 60s, 70s. I never found my purpose.    [00:05:44] And the question I always ask them is, why did you'd love to do when you were very young? What are the first things you remember? Because there's often a clue there. And for me, I can honestly say, you know, sort of the the. And I remember this well. My mom said to me that as soon as I could put two words together, I was putting it, stringing them together and writing poetry and would do, you know, push it under her door. Little poems with three or four probably misspelled words. And I remember that I was proud. It was before I even went to kindergarten and she was a school teacher. So she taught me to read and write very early. And I remember just being fascinated by. Yeah. Bye bye. Bye bye, star.    [00:06:31] Re reading my stories, I would read over and over and over, I'd fall in love with a story like Charlotte's Web and Weidner Summer, my mother said I read it like 20 times because I couldn't bear it when Charlotte died. But if I started reading this story over, she was alive again.    [00:06:53] And I think I connected some kind of magic to that.    [00:06:58] Our stories keep us alive. There was something young in me and then I became an actor. But it was when I met my mentor, the late Spalding Gray.    [00:07:10] When I was 20 in Boston, my acting professor took my class to see him.    [00:07:18] And for those who don't know, Spalding was a very became a very well-known monologue. US, though, not a household name to everybody.    [00:07:26] And I met him at 20 and he was onstage sharing about his life. And he was sharing stories that could be considered taboo in in our kind of culture. About his mom suicide, about his quest for the moment, in a moment about his sexuality, about his struggle with depression.    [00:07:49] And I walked out of the theater at 20 and I felt liberated and I thought, I'm going to do that. I didn't want to be behind the artifice of characters. I didn't know that until I met Spalding. But I felt alive and awakened. And he gave me permission.    [00:08:08] And I've pretty much spent my career giving myself permission to speak.    [00:08:15] Authentic story and help other people do that, and it's really true, it's like my outer career. Whenever I stick with stories one way or another, it always works and always had. And whenever I move away from story and think I should do something else, whether that's I think I should, you know, get a real job. And for a while I became a P, you know, work for a PR agency, had nonprofit jobs when I was younger. Number one. I'm miserable. But number two, my life falls apart. So it's interesting because for me, sticking with story is not only my barometer, but when I stick with story, my life just unfolds the way it feels like it's supposed to.    [00:09:04] So it's really. I know I'm very fortunate that my purpose presented so young and that it's like my North Star that I always can return to.    [00:09:16] Mm hmm.    [00:09:18] So beautiful, it makes so much sense, I felt like you were, you know, like Hansel and Gretel walking through the forest and leaving breadcrumbs for me to follow what was really I just had this complete reverie. And your story is gorgeous. Thank you. Yeah. Not sure about the Hansel and Gretel.    [00:09:36] I love the image I had. Totally. No.    [00:09:39] And those experiences, for me, it was our marriage, right? It is you, the inner part of your inner marriage.    [00:09:45] Is your relationship to story and how that's playing out inside of you. And I mean inside of you and how that manifests outside in the world.    [00:09:54] Yes. And it continues to deepen. Right. In this podcast. My favorite part is when we share stories. And you know what? I know there's a spiritual component in story work, too, that feels like at this age in my life, in my 50s. The part that I most expl interested in exploring that distort that intersection between spirit and storytelling, something that intersects in in my work with you, in our work together. But when people aren't sure their purpose, just getting back to what you said about Hansel and Gretel, I think bread crumbs are an important thing because I think the world can put heavy pressure on us around. Do you have your big purpose? So I think the inquiry is what is as close to me as my own breath. You know what's always been there for me? It may not look like a vocation or even a vocation that the world.    [00:10:54] But it's in there and it's it's a great inquiry to go back to childhood because often our deepest gifts are so natural to us that we don't always recognize them.    [00:11:08] I think that's really true, yeah. They're so close. They're some 30, so part of who we are that we don't see them as something that we would bring to the world through us.    [00:11:20] Exactly. And I see that happens with women a lot.    [00:11:25] And I think about all the clients I've worked with over so many decades. And, yes, something that can be that they take for granted, because in our culture, we don't always value our gifts or our gifts or have been called soft skills sometimes. Right. If they don't align with a degree or something that can be monetized or a monetized in an obvious way, they can be minimized and there can be a real unique brilliance that a person starts to marginalize to themselves. That is actually a gift and an offering to others and may be a bigger gift in the world that than people are able to recognize.    [00:12:10] Yeah.    [00:12:12] Oh, boy. I'm just this is going to have to be edited out because I just really lost. I was just onto something.    [00:12:19] Oh, I know.    [00:12:22] So I think one of the things that we confuse is calling with how we make money. Yes. Right. And I think that that it's a tricky dance, because we all want to do we all want to, you know, do what we love in our work and we'd love to make money that way.    [00:12:42] But the getting there is not typically a straight line for most people. And I think what I'd love to do is I you know, you talked about you're sort of calling and we thought about through story and breadcrumbs and you took it back to childhood and what do people love? And that really makes me think about mine.    [00:13:03] I haven't thought about it in that way.    [00:13:06] But, you know, when I was growing up, both of my parents are therapists. And so we would have you know, they'd call a family meeting. And, you know, for kids, I'm the oldest of four and everyone would just be like, oh, no, not the family meeting as my daughters did. They hated the family meetings. Right. Everyone felt like, you know, something was going to be revealed that was going to be hard, you know. Right. Or that people would be asked to share something that they didn't want to share. But I always at the thought of a family meeting, I couldn't get in there fast. I was the one listening to the adults. So I realized I had my whole life I've been really drawn to process. I've really been drawn to depth and intimacy and truth. And I think part of when I was a kid, like listening to adults talk is that what I was listening for was truth. I wanted to know. Yeah. And that's, I think, been a through line in my life.    [00:14:08] You know, when I was a hospice nurse, you know that, you know, the process of dying and the process of being a human being and being the humanity in the relationship. So it's really for me about connection and relationship and the process of that that that informed all of my death and dying work. And then it went into my, you know, emotional intelligence work and mindfulness work. And obviously in the Constellation work, I mean, that's very relational. And I think, you know, for me, the other words that come to mind are it's it's as if I'm drawn to process. And what can come about from in relationships through process, in the mystery that is has to do with inspiration, truth and revelation, and that that is transformative and that that often is unconscious and held in the mystery. So it's a lot of words to try and describe something about myself that's drawn to the process of relationship and the transformative power of that, I think. And finding truth, which is never one thing. Right.    [00:15:17] So for me, that's also part of, you know, restoring the culture around this is that a calling is not a set point, a calling. Like when I've when I think of calling, I think for me how I would read story that is that it's not something I'm pursuing. It's actually something that has called me. Yes.    [00:15:40] Like saying you're it. Yeah, totally. Right.    [00:15:44] And it and I can feel it coming, but I don't know what it is for a long time. But I feel like there's something else out there. And then when I'm called, it's like I slip in and it's all just effortless. And then I'm like, oh, my God, this is it. Like, how did I get here? Sort of like, how did I go to nursing school? That was a big, huge question mark. Right. Because I that was like never really. On my radar until it was. Same thing with, you know, moving into hospice work and constellation work. That was a total calling. That called me.    [00:16:19] I wasn't looking for that. And the same thing with the union work. You know?    [00:16:24] Here I am, 54 and graduate school so that I can fulfill this thing because I'm being called into this union container. I don't know where it's going to take me, but I feel committed to show a full as fully as I can so that I can be in this journey with myself and respond to this call. So it's really interesting. How do we Restoril? Because I'm starting to think like we can misinterpret, like calling us something that's comes through our will.    [00:16:53] But I actually think there's something bigger at work, a bigger maybe also a bigger part of ourselves. But there there is there's more magic to it than we realize.    [00:17:06] I think well, I totally agree.    [00:17:08] And one thing I want to share that has been super important for me is to trust that intuitive voice that you're talking about, the way you just kind of slip in and it's effortless.    [00:17:23] But there's something to that about trusting. And I know that I've had some, you know, projects that I've done, like when I did the cancer monologue project, that was very much part of my calling and purpose.    [00:17:38] But A, it came in a dream and B, it didn't make any sense. And I followed it anyway. And I want to say that an a business program I was in. I have been in. It was like it. It showed up. And on one level, it didn't make sense. But there was a draw right from the inside out. To me, there's something that when something's about my calling. It's not about my ego. I'm not just making a mental decision. It comes. And I think these things drop in for most people, especially for paths and people who are highly sensitive and open and creative. But I think when people are struggling for a long time, it may seem like that those messages haven't arrived. But I would say, have they arrived? And you haven't trusted yourself? Because I also know times in my life when the that calling has come and I've ignored it or I've marginalized something that wanted to come through because just because I wasn't in a space where I was trusting.    [00:18:50] So I just wanted to say that for me, it it arrives and it and it will come from a place.    [00:18:57] And when I do trust it, this is about the radical faith piece. It's almost like a different part of my calling. Them purpose is revealed. And it could never be something that I could just quote unquote, figure out.    [00:19:11] Mm hmm. Mm hmm.    [00:19:13] I mean, what do you think about that and the way intuition plays in with calling?    [00:19:18] I think yeah, it was very well said. And that's how it's been for me, is that it's something that comes from the inside. And it doesn't make sense. It's not my colleagues have never made sense. Right. I mean, going back to graduate school when I could be. Now, I thought with that one for a long time, because my constellation business has been really thriving and I've been teaching and I could easily take my skill set and run a really successful business with it. And so I struggled with that, like, am I always just chasing the next thing? And as I see it now, though, in terms of my own personal growth, it's really taken me to a much deeper place.    [00:19:55] That was a. So I would think about that like a soul calling, you know.    [00:20:00] And so for me, like that feels a little different than purpose because you're you're still calling maybe your purpose. But if when I just hear the word purpose, I get heady and I go into my thinking mind about it. And it's like it's something to be figured out. And I don't think a calling is something to be figured out. I think a calling is something we live into.    [00:20:21] And the beautifully set out. Beautifully put. Yeah. And Ted, I like you distinguishing them in that way because I kind of think of them as the same thing.    [00:20:31] But you're right. And purpose may very much have to do with how our calling is utilized in a more worldly way. Right. To serve others or consider even to make a living. Do you know the Japanese concept icky guy? Mm hmm. I've heard of it. I mean, it's a beautiful thing. And people can look it up and it's like it's a it's force circles and it's looking at the central point in the middle where they intersect. And it's what you're good at, what you love, what the world needs and what you can make. Money Act, and I think that may be more applicable to aligning with purpose rather than calling. But of course, what we love and what we're good at so often arises from calling. But that also puts out the inquiry. What does the world need? So how can we serve with our gifts, but also in terms of vocation? What can we make money at? And I do think the calling may or may not be able to fulfill that. Right. But like a purpose. Yeah. And the arts.    [00:21:42] I'm glad you reminded me of the icky guy because we actually who use that I brba Dossey, nurse friend of mine and mentor introduced me to that and has and brings that into her work with other nurses.    [00:21:56] It is a great tool.    [00:21:57] It's like it's like, you know, several that like sets event diagrams laid over each rightest.    [00:22:04] Great. And yeah, I think I think that's right. I mean, when I think about making this personal to me, I think about, you know, my tagline is re learning human connection.    [00:22:15] And I think since I've been in the union program, it's I'm becoming clear that my work has to do with the split, that what I'm drawn to is I'm actually drawn to how do we mend the splits inside of us and how do we and then and how those splits inside of us get projected in the world around us and that we live in such a fragmented world. And part of that may be that we are also carrying these internal splits and how do we mend that?    [00:22:49] And then, you know, so if I were to differentiate that as my calling, that's like my my soul's calling to my professional life.    [00:22:59] Yeah. It's manifesting in in this graduate program and continuation of my my training programs and client work and.    [00:23:09] And, you know, my desire to even, you know, do work with systems more because I see systems as holding so much power.    [00:23:19] I love working with individuals.    [00:23:22] And I also think that systems are like a little worlds unto themselves.    [00:23:26] And if you can bring some of these these like laws, these natural laws that guide and principles that that guide reconciliation and balance and harmony so that people can all live into their calling.    [00:23:44] Right. In a healthy state and a healthy human system, all people will be living into their gifts and purpose.    [00:23:50] Well, and that's something we're really looking at. Now, right now, in the midst of the pandemic. Right. In terms of restoring the culture and and seeing the parts of the entire system that have been toxic and broken. And how were we going to shift the split collectively so that we're not going back and recreating the old culture and rather moving with the energy of this pause and what it's teaching us. And I'd love to hear what you want to say about that, because I know it's bubbling up for everyone. You and I were talking about it this morning on a phone call. But the way I'd love to hear what you're thinking in terms of sort of the global system, some of the. Yeah. The collective systems that are not only failing us, but we're seeing the human impact and the impact to the earth.    [00:24:55] Well, I guess, you know, the first place I go with that is a simple exercise, which is the minute you find yourself looking at the other liberal, looking at conservative, conservative, looking at liberal, somebody who thinks we should approach the Corona virus, you know, from complete isolation, lockdown, quarantine to somebody who believes in herd immunity. Right. I mean, wherever you have an issue, you're going to have an opposite. And so if you start to find yourself getting really roughed up inside and thinking about that other who represents that issue and you start feeling like you are really right, you're convinced your way is right.    [00:25:43] I think be very, very careful. Because to me, that's an indication of of identity, an identification with the split, and the split is its own energy. And I think we are becoming seduced by the split. And it's not we confuse it for vitality because it makes us feel powerful and we have confused opinion and belief for relationship.    [00:26:13] And then despite. Right. In a sense, they're a waste of time. Yeah. Which comes from our direct experience forced our mind.    [00:26:20] And it doesn't mean that we we don't have, you know, an opinion or an orientation to something. But it means that if we start to just always think that our way is the right way and we stop being curious about the other or we start demonizing, I really believe that's the goal of this world. It's actually more related to greed than we might realize. You know what I keep thinking about that greed is is sort of the foundation for so much of what hurts us in the world.    [00:26:52] And and I think that what I'm looking at here with the split is something that's resonant with greed. And it may not seem connected, but if if everyone is so sure that they're right. And the other one is wrong.    [00:27:09] Oh, we're screwed, man.    [00:27:13] Well, I mean, I guess I think in terms of the Constellation work you do, right, there's a premise and I think it's a hard pill to swallow.    [00:27:22] Like when I listen to you, I kind of go, yeah, I kind of agree and I kind of down. But I do agree with the idea that everyone has the right to be long and it's a hard pill to swallow in a world where there's so much perpetration and where there's so much pain caused by certain toxic systems and people running with that. Right. Whether that's white supremacy or whether that's patriarchy. And yes, we're all carried along and damaged by patriarchy. The men and women. But I wonder about like looking at the perpetrator and the victim and everybody's right to belong. And maybe if you could talk a little bit more about that, because I sometimes do feel a kick back around. Well, this is the difference between judging versus discernment when some people or systems are clearly doing more harm outwardly to individuals or the environment than others. So how would you address that?    [00:28:34] Well, I think if you were to be in relationship with that. Then you would be curious to know what's underneath it, what's underneath the perpetration, what's underneath that thing that is causing more harm than good, and our human inclination is to push away everything that feels dangerous and uncomfortable to us.    [00:28:57] But the truth of the matter is, is that we live in a closed system. So if we talk about systems, global systems, we could talk about the planet Earth.    [00:29:05] Every time you throw something into the garbage, that thing doesn't disappear. It goes into a landfill or goes into, you know, you're putting it in the compost. Everything is recycled. Even sustainability, which I've always been drawn to, sustainability itself is always changing because we're always evolving and changing. So we always want to find one right answer. That is the the recipes. But we are dynamic, evolving beings, constant dating around each other. And sometimes it gets messy. And the truth of the matter is, humans hurt each other just. Absolutely. Just like, you know, suffering is part of the human condition, having pain and physical pain and emotional pain. It's part of having a body and a heart and a nervous system, you know. And I think I'm not saying we should run into the belly of the beast or throw ourselves in harm's way. That's not what I'm saying at all. But what I'm saying is that we have lost our ability to have creative dissonance, which is a phrase that I've learned from him, from someone who's important helping me in my life right now in my training.    [00:30:14] And this idea of creative dissonance is really.    [00:30:19] I'll tell you a little bit based in a dream I had recently that is still with me. I had a dream early on in the pandemic where I was given the answer to how to deal with the Corona virus. And that answer was that I could. I literally had a high pitched tone that I was singing through my right bundle of vocal chords. And I could even put my fingers like, you know, on my throat and feel where that was. And I was singing and kind of this high tone. And then on the left side of my throat, I put my fingers there and I could feel myself singing in a low tone. And there's a way in which if you sing in a high tone and you sing in a low tone, you can do. You can actually do that at the same time. And it creates an undertone that's like this that we think of like when we hear, you know, certain monks singing, my lord.    [00:31:20] That's what I was gonna say. A lot of that. Monks chanting and Tibetan monks chanting.    [00:31:26] Also, it takes me to my ancestral roots, which is, you know, when Swedish women call to the animals, they do that very same thing. They mix a high note and alone. And there's another bass note underneath it that creates some kind of a harmonic convergence. Now, this this this person who I've been talking to about this is actually an expert in music. And he was saying, you know.    [00:31:59] That's real harmony, that's that's what makes music really brilliant and interesting, is when you bring in dissonant notes and they create something that is completely different than themselves as dissonant notes.    [00:32:16] Right. They're just and totally each other. And that's what creates the best music that we have on planet Earth. And so why wouldn't it be the same thing with human beings? We've just really lost our way to do that. And again, there's a huge paradox here, because I'm not saying, you know, throw yourself at the perpetrator or indulge yourself as the victim.    [00:32:37] No, I'm saying that we've got we have a set of skills that we've lost that indigenous cultures knew how to access in their relationship to the earth and their relationship to their bodies and their relationship with each other. And they had ways of helping to maintain systemic relational health. And we've really lost that. And part of our losing that has to do with we are not able to deal with discomfort, dissonance. And therefore, we don't have resonance. We will never have resonance until we can incorporate dissonance.    [00:33:15] I agree. And I learn a lot from you. And I have my own sort of process with this. But I want to share a story about doing a constellation with you because I feel very, very, very charged personally. And I want to share this because I'm sure some of our listeners do, particularly as a somebody who has identified with people who have been harmed. I mean, I feel very angry about what's happened to indigenous people in this country. I feel very allied with black activists as a white woman.    [00:33:54] But, you know, I understand that the the voices have been marginalized, their culture, they're at risk for everything more in this culture, which is really capitalism run amok based on patriarchy and white supremacy. You know, the deep, deep cultural ills. And I have a lot of ya just allegiance with people who have been marginalized. And I think we could all be marginalized, though, in different ways. That's a different conversation. I think spirituality and people who are intuitive and imparts and psychic's have been marginalized in Western culture. There's levels of it. Right. And we're reclaiming some of that on this. But I do want to share that. It was fascinating to me that I did a constellation with you not that long ago in a group. And what came through was one of my ancestors who was a perpetrator that I did not know about who had led in Massachusetts. One of the, you know, great like well-known killings of a lot of native people there, and that there is even a statue of him in a square in Springfield, Mass. And that I did not know about him until I did a constellation with you. And I represented the voice of a lot of native women who had been killed in New Mexico in that constellation that took me on a rabbit down a rabbit hole where I did an Internet search and found out about this part of my family tree that I didn't even know about, which is kind of the crazy and magical part of doing family constellations. It's quantum work and it's amazing how it can get validated. But somehow that made some sense to me that when that story had been in the shadows of my family to the point that 10 generations down, I didn't even know about it until I did the work with you and then found it, which was incredible that somehow it's the thing you've talked about before, that we each have our own history, that we're each spiritually sovereign, that we each have our family history, that we are trying to reconcile things that are multi-layered and multidimensional.    [00:36:31] And often we don't know what's moving our anger or our rage or our kick back to something.    [00:36:38] But I just wanted to share that, because I think since then I've been hanging with more complexity on myself is the word. And yeah, so I wanted to share that because my natural.    [00:36:58] Response in terms of polarizing with myself.    [00:37:04] Has to do with, you know, ways people have very genuinely been marginalized.    [00:37:09] But owning my own particular family peace that was there and healing something and that maybe gives me more spaciousness in general towards the complexity of each of us. Right. We are such layered beings.    [00:37:27] And while we are and I I really appreciate you bringing that your own story into that, because I know sometimes when I speak about things, it can seem really theoretical and it can be really hard to relate to on that level. So I think it's really important to ground that because, of course, I mean, I have my own political opinions. I have my own causes that I get fired up about. I mean, it's none. So but I do think that. I do think that, you know, when I guess this is where we're running out of time here, but I'd like to share something that I shared with a friend recently, another health care clinician, and we've been working together. He's also a Constellation facilitator and we've been working on, you know, as to Constellation facilitators, how are those principles manifesting in our own lives?    [00:38:24] And then I found myself saying. Love. We'll call everything to itself. That is unlike itself.    [00:38:40] It's it's there's a bigger energy that everything is part of the system. And so we can have opinions and we can fight for our causes. But if we start to buy into the split, then we move away from love and then we'll get called back into it. And and that's not going to be an easy return. No, no.    [00:39:01] Totally. It reminds me of one of my dear, somebody who is so dear. And he passed from Lou Gehrig's disease. He was my daughter's preschool teacher and his name was Robbie. I'm still friends with his wife, Martha. Incredible, incredible people.    [00:39:15] And he was like out there in his like the 60s hippie, you know, tie dye t shirt. A very, very loving being and certainly very radical and sort of on the left, but very loving, very wise and astrologer. And, you know, I remember coming in after George Bush's second election and every parent at the school, you know, a little liberal conclave, progressive conclave in Santa Fe, we were all like so feeling really shattered. And he said something to me that really stayed with me. He said, oh, he said, George Bush. You know, he I wouldn't want to play his role, but he's doing a great service to us. I said, what do you mean, Robby?    [00:40:02] And he was just smiling very joyfully. He said, you know, he's playing the role to show us all who we are.    [00:40:08] He's playing the role of the shadow. He's he's willing to take on all those projections. And I thought about that in the, you know. Right.    [00:40:18] The collective, the shadow work, the things we don't want to see and how somebody who we see as a quote unquote, monster carries our projections. How much is about them? How much is about ourselves. And, of course, in politics, what collective consciousness do we choose to elect?    [00:40:41] And I also think about Alice Miller's work, whose, you know, the Germans psychotherapist who has written such amazing books like, You Know, For Your Own Good and her book of, you know, megalomaniacs, narcissists, monsters throughout time, who I would you know, we would label monsters.    [00:41:02] And of course, what does she reveal is the not only the abuse that they have suffered as children. And I'm talking ones who go on and do great, great harm collectively.    [00:41:16] But the fact that they weren't seen and they weren't witnessed.    [00:41:21] So the whole system around them, not only was there usually great abuse, but the system around them co cooperated with the abuse, enabled the beat, the abuse and how when children are abused. But there's somebody loving who bears witness to them usually changes the course of destiny in terms of how perpetration, part of how perpetration evolves. So there's there's so much in all of this, isn't there? Like it's like the ego wants there to be an easy answer. Good, bad black/white. And it doesn't in any way justify harm on others. Right. Or the responsibility there. But it opens up the bigger questions. I think we're talking about.    [00:42:09] Well, it does. And it and I'm glad you said that the part about the the answers in the black and white thinking, because that takes us back to Ian McGilchrist work and his incredible book, The Master and his Emissary. And he's talking about how we're moving into a time of left hemisphere dominance, which is, you know, because we have the printed word. Our brains have changed because of so many different things. And and and so we're becoming more focused in being goal oriented, in wanting to have the answers. And it's much less relational. And I think that's part of, you know, me fighting my good fight is about helping, wanting us to become more balanced in the right hemisphere of our brain, which is where art and creativity and poetry and relationship and feeling come from. And and and to have a relationship between the right and the left, which is the corpus callosum and how how do we work with that bridging? Because we need both just as we need both. Everywhere we go. And I guess I would like to end this. We're out of time. I just. And then I think you're going to give a couple writing prompts.    [00:43:14] But just to say how many people could enter into a conversation where they talk about their own shadow.    [00:43:27] That's interesting to me. Means what I'm doing my for crackdowns correctly and I'm spending that's been years on onlooking.    [00:43:35] My own shadow, that's what this is all about, you know, and that's really been the thrust of my story work. What are the things we consider unspeakable? Let's speak them. Let's bring them out. Because if that darkness is an address and we don't share it together and it doesn't ever come into the light, that's where it does harm. As soon as we share the stories, there's a liberation that happens emotionally and spiritually around those things we're holding. Which is why intimacy. Right. Is so connected to expression.    [00:44:10] Thank you so much. What a great podcast. You want to give some writing prompt?    [00:44:13] Yeah, well I yeah, I'll end on this.    [00:44:16] So I'm in the restoring process that I do with people and Camille and I often do ah. Each bring a different skill set to the restoring process. But one of the tools I've developed over the years I call wisdom writing.    [00:44:31] So I will if you want to do a little writing, you can use this for anything.    [00:44:36] You can use this in terms of purpose and calling that we started talking about or the way the conversation moved towards right shadow and dissonance and maybe some hard polarize places and ourselves. But what you want to do really, it's a three step process and it's great if you add a fourth step of sharing it with somebody and just asking them to listen to you and just say thank you, not to get advice so much, just to be witnessed in it. But even if you're doing it alone. Very powerful. So the first thing I say is just let's go back to purpose. And if any question you have around like anything that sort of bothers you or you feel unsettled about in terms of your purpose in calling and just writing that at the top of a page and this is to be done handwritten, not on the computer, it uses a different part of neuro with neuroscience that uses a different part of the brain where you can access more information.    [00:45:34] So just right at the top of the page, like, you know, for example, I want to know how to deepen my my service work in the world to make a bigger impact at this time.    [00:45:48] Just an example. So anything like that you're thinking about around purposeand service that isn't resolved just right at the top of this stage.    [00:45:56] Step two, just want you to close your eyes and invite in your inner wisdom. And as opposed to journaling or even a free right, you don't just write on a topic. You it's an inquiry.    [00:46:14] It's an inquiry of your connection to your highest self, your intuition, the Crohn God doesn't matter what you call it, and just say, you know, what do I need to know?    [00:46:29] To shift this issue energetically and then you just want to right, and just.    [00:46:37] I always say to people, just allow yourself to be surprised. A different voice may come through and that than what you usually access when when you write because you've asked a question. So be open to hear the answer. It's kind of like meditation on the page. Keep your hand moving right without stopping to judge. Don't worry about spelling, grammar, punctuation, any of those things and do it as a timed writing. So set your your timer for, you know, 15 minutes to start and let yourself go and really just stay open to see what comes. And the last part of the exercise is.    [00:47:16] Number three, what actions can I take at this time to help me move forward in terms of a resolution?    [00:47:28] And you can honestly and then again set the timer for 15 minutes and see what wants to come in terms of specific actions. So the answer to question number two is more about the energetic, the consciousness. Any insights and a shifts in your identity or creative ideas that want to come in terms of how you can meet the problem and set. And number three is really about any direct actions you may want to take. And then if you're able to share both the your story and the restoring that happens around it with somebody, ask them to just listen to you that what you're seeking is just to be witnessed rather than to be given any advice, because it's really just about being witnessed by another human being in the wisdom that is bubbling up from within.    [00:48:23] Thank you, friend.    [00:48:25] Mm hmm. Thank you, Camille. Always so wonderful to talk. And yeah. And share this with everyone who's out there listening.    [00:48:36] Thank you for joining Camille and Tanya for this episode of Restoring the Culture.

There are many commands, warnings, and directions given by God in the Bible. It is easy to think that He did this for Himself. The reality is that He gave these directions, commands, and warnings for our good. He knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows what our hearts long for. He also knows how our longings and desires can be truly satisfied. So, He went to great lengths to communicate how we can walk out life in such a way that that brings lasting satisfaction, joy, and peace. Listen in and find our what you can do for your own good.

Candidates are already lining up for the 2020 elections in North Carolina. It’s not unusual to see candidates jump into a race a year before the election. But some might be throwing their hats into the ring even earlier than normal. That’s because primary elections have been moved up from May to March. Rick Henderson, Carolina Journal editor-in-chief, discusses developments in the upcoming races for governor, U.S. Senate, and other important statewide elected positions. Some governments use sin taxes to nudge people away from behavior that elected officials and bureaucrats dislike. Adam Hoffer, associate professor of economics at the University of Wisconsin at Lacrosse, discusses the problems associated with using taxation to spur behavioral change. His comments are linked to his work from the recent book For Your Own Good. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill faced a couple of recent surprises. Chancellor Carol Folt announced her resignation, then decided to remove the pedestal of the controversial Silent Sam Confederate monument in the middle of the night. That move prompted UNC System officials to move up Folt’s departure date. Harry Smith, chairman of the system’s Board of Governors, explains why he and his colleagues took action. The N.C. Supreme Court recently celebrated its 200th anniversary. Speaking less than three weeks before he announced his resignation, Chief Justice Mark Martin urged colleagues to set aside personal policy preferences to work together in upholding the rule of law. N.C. lawmakers will face pressure this year to expand the state’s Medicaid program. Jordan Roberts, John Locke Foundation health care policy analyst, says Medicaid expansion would create problems for North Carolina, even in a form different from the expansion proposal tied to President Obama’s Affordable Care Act.

State senators have elected Republican Phil Berger to a fifth consecutive term as the Senate’s top officer. The state House has elected Republican Tim Moore to a third term as House speaker. Rick Henderson, Carolina Journal editor-in-chief, discusses the potential impact of these leadership elections on the next two years of state legislative action, including relations with Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. Some governments use selective taxes to fund public pension liabilities. This creates potential problems, as professor Thad Calabrese of New York University documents in the recent book For Your Own Good. Calabrese outlined the potential problems during a recent panel discussion co-hosed by the John Locke Foundation. Voters decided last November that North Carolina should add a photo ID voting requirement to the state constitution. Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed the bill designed to meet that new constitutional requirement. You’ll hear highlights from the legislative debate before a vote to override Cooper’s veto. Partisans on both the left and right make mistakes when they discuss government and its role in both causing and responding to economic inequality. That’s one of the key points of a recent book, The Captured Economy. Co-author Steven Teles, a Johns Hopkins University political scientist, shared major themes from the book during a recent lecture at Duke University. Trump administration efforts to roll back federal regulations are being counteracted to some extent by the so-called ESG movement. The movement involves basing investment decisions on environmental, social, and governance criteria — rather than the traditional goal of maximizing returns. Donald van der Vaart, John Locke Foundation senior fellow, assesses the ESG movement’s impact.

N.C. lawmakers have approved an additional $850 million for relief from damage inflicted by Hurricane Florence. That total exceeded the amount Gov. Roy Cooper requested, and the relief package earned unanimous support within the General Assembly. Becki Gray, John Locke Foundation senior vice president, analyzes key aspects of the relief package. Governments tend to like imposing “sin taxes” on items like alcohol and tobacco. But a new book titled For Your Own Good explores the potential negative consequences of sin taxes and other selective taxes that target disfavored groups. Co-editor Todd Nesbit, assistant professor of economics at Ball State University, explores key problems associated with selective taxes. Some lawmakers are raising concerns about an unpublicized office within the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles that offered driver’s licenses for selected state government employees. The office drew negative media scrutiny. And some legislators urged their colleagues to take a closer look into the matter. They also want to know why waiting times are so long at many public DMV offices. Governments often get involved in financing stadiums for privately owned sports teams. Many of those projects rely on selective taxes, including extra charges for car rentals or hotel and motel bills. Craig Depken, professor of economics at UNC-Charlotte, discusses unintended consequences associated with those taxes. With no presidential, gubernatorial, or U.S. Senate race on the North Carolina ballot this year, some observers are focusing most of their attention on six proposed constitutional amendments. The major parties have staked out positions: Republicans support all six, and Democrats oppose them. All living former governors and state Supreme Court chief justices have joined the debate on two amendments. And an activist group that often supports Republican causes is launching a campaign against one of the amendments. Rick Henderson, Carolina Journal editor-in-chief, discusses recent developments in the amendment debate.
