Are you always the one saying yes — even when you want to say no? If you're constantly putting everyone else's needs before your own, you might be stuck in the people pleasing trap — and it could be rewiring your brain in dangerous ways. In this episode, I share how chronic people pleasing not only impacts your emotional well-being but may also put your cognitive health at risk.What to Listen For[00:02:10] How social connections reduce dementia risk — and why quality matters more than quantity[00:04:00] The childhood experience that rewired Amy's brain to prioritize others over herself[00:06:30] The anxious loop people pleasers live in: scanning for approval and avoiding rejection[00:08:10] The advice from a mentor that changed everything: “No is a complete sentence”[00:09:20] Why people pleasing is a form of self-abandonment[00:10:30] The fawn response: how appeasing others is a trauma-based coping mechanism[00:11:50] The neurological impact of people pleasing: cortisol, hippocampal shrinkage, and memory loss[00:13:15] Brene Brown's distinction between “fitting in” and “true belonging” — and how it applies to brain health[00:15:40] The hidden toll on cognitive function: anxiety, indecision, and loss of interoception[00:21:10] 3 strategies to rewire your brain and stop compulsive complianceChronic people pleasing isn't just draining — it's dangerous. It keeps your brain in a constant stress loop, contributes to inflammation, and erodes your self-trust. But the good news is this: your brain is plastic, and with every boundary you set, you're creating a new pathway toward resilience, clarity, and health. Start by inserting a pause, practicing low-stakes boundaries, and reconnecting with your authentic self.
“Everyday life in Saigon means navigating sugar in everything—from coffee to orange juice—and I can't have any of it.” – Jane HaMy guest today is Jane Ha, a researcher in behavioral science who has lived in Hanoi, the U.S., the U.K., and now Saigon. Jane's story is as much about resilience as it is about culture—living with diabetes in one of the sweetest food environments in the world, while also studying the consumer habits that shape what we all eat and drink.What struck me most is how her personal challenge with diabetes gave her a unique lens on Vietnam's rapid changes. She sees both the risks of a sugar-heavy culture and the opportunities in the rise of healthier, sugar-free alternatives. And she links it all to bigger shifts: from Gen Z's cocktail culture to the way Vietnamese consumers demand convenience, speed, and personalization.Jane also opened up about the culture shocks of living in Oklahoma and Ohio, where she learned what it really meant to be “different.” Returning to Vietnam, she realized Saigon allowed her to merge all the versions of herself—the East and the West, tradition and modernity—without fear of judgment.This conversation reminded me how food, identity, and culture are all connected. And how Vietnam, in all its complexity, forces us to constantly rethink how we live.Main Talking PointsLiving with diabetes in Vietnam's sugar-saturated food culture.How manufacturers and Gen Z are reshaping health trends.The psychology of Vietnamese shopping: from discounts to convenience.The cultural shift in drinking—from beer halls to cocktail bars.The boom-and-bust nature of Vietnamese trends: milk tea to Manuka honey.Culture shock in Oklahoma and Ohio, and lessons on race and identity.Finding freedom in Saigon as a bridge between East and West.Chapters & Timestamps02:05 | Life with diabetes in Vietnam: sugar everywhere.10:40 | Health awareness, sugar taxes, and new consumer trends.20:15 | Vietnamese shoppers: price-sensitive or value-driven?29:30 | Gen Z's changing drinking culture and the impact of zero-alcohol laws.41:00 | Cocktail bars, milk tea, and why some trends boom then bust.45:20 | From Hanoi to Oklahoma: culture shock and unexpected lessons."Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

Send Us a Message!Psychedelics and plant medicine have become increasingly intertwined with modern spiritual practices, but are these substances truly necessary for profound spiritual experiences? This question sits at the heart of our candid conversation about the relationship between Shamanism, plant medicine, and psychedelics.The conversation delves into the long-term integration process of psychedelic experiences, contrasting it with conscious shamanic methods that engage both mind and spirit in real time. Using the metaphor of an escalator versus stairs, we emphasize that while both paths can lead to transformation, shamanic techniques—like breathwork and meditation—build inner strength without giving power away to external tools.Along the way, we discuss:The relationship between psychedelics, plant medicine, and spiritualityQuestioning the necessity of substances for spiritual experiencesOur unique perspectives and experiences with psychedelicsthe difference between plant medicine and psychedelicsRisks of giving spiritual power away to substancesThe importance of integration after psychedelic experiencesThe stairs vs. escalator metaphor for spiritual growthThe role of your subconscious mind in the use of psychedelicsEmpowerment through conscious Shamanic techniquesAnd so much more!The Moon Rising team brings diverse perspectives to this nuanced topic, challenging the assumption that psychedelics are necessary for spiritual growth.Ready to expand and heal without the use of psychedelics?

“I felt like my Vietnamese froze at the level of a 17-year-old.” – Mai DoanMy guest today is Mai Doan, who left Vietnam at just 17 to study in Oregon, later studied in France, built a career in the U.S., and then made the choice to return home. Her story was full of courage and honesty. She talked about cultural shocks, stereotypes, and the challenges of returning to Vietnam after so many years abroad.What stood out to me most was how she found meaning in conservation work, even though her background was in business and law. She reminded me that purpose often comes when we step outside the path we thought we should follow.This episode made me reflect on how identity changes when we live abroad, and how coming home can sometimes feel even harder than leaving. Mai's journey is a powerful reminder that development and tradition don't have to be opposites, and that protecting nature is also protecting our culture.Main Talking PointsLeaving Vietnam at 17 and the cultural shocks of living in small-town America.Struggling with English and adapting through the support of international friendships.Becoming an “unofficial ambassador” to correct stereotypes about Vietnam.Returning home and facing reverse culture shock, especially around language and gender expectations.Finding purpose in conservation, discovering Vietnam's biodiversity, and balancing development with preservation.Chapters and Timestamps02:31 | Cultural shock in Oregon: language struggles, new friendships, and learning resilience.10:46 | Confronting stereotypes about Vietnam and becoming an “unofficial ambassador.”17:21 | Returning to Vietnam: reverse culture shock, family expectations, and studying law.25:51 | From corporate career to conservation: discovering Vietnam's hidden biodiversity.35:10 | Vietnam at a crossroads: balancing rapid development with cultural and natural preservation.44:01 | Reflections on being a bridge between cultures and looking ahead."Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

“People at home always ask, ‘When are you moving back?' But honestly, I'm not sure I could.” – Krista BernardIf you grew up in a small town—or in Krista's case, a village with 500 people including cows—you'll know the feeling of leaving and never quite seeing it the same again.Adrie Lopez Mackay (yep, my amazing wife) takes over the mic to speak with our good friend Krista Bernard, who traded dairy farms and long Canadian winters for the chaos and charm of Saigon.It's her birthday, she's relaxed, and she's open about it all—from living in Hanoi and blowing out her ACL shortly after moving to Saigon, to discovering the freedom, diversity, and weird quirks of life in Vietnam's biggest city.I loved this episode—not just because Adrie nailed her first time as guest host—but because Krista's story is so familiar to many of us living here. She's honest, reflective, and quietly hilarious.Key Talking Points:From rural Canada to Saigon – Krista's background and what made her move abroad.Cultural contrasts – How small-town life compares to the diversity and pace of a mega city.Overcoming setbacks – Her ACL injury and how it shaped her first year in Saigon.City life discoveries – Food, activities, and travel opportunities in Saigon.Lessons from Taipei – Cleanliness, infrastructure, and what Saigon could learn.Chapters & Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction & Host Debut – Adrie takes over hosting duties and introduces Krista Bernard.[02:10] Growing Up in Rural Canada – Life in a 500-person village and dairy farming roots.[05:15] Choosing Life Abroad – Why Krista left Canada and how friends and family reacted.[07:40] The Move to Saigon & ACL Setback – Injury, recovery, and the struggle to settle in.[12:05] Discovering Saigon – Food variety, activities, and becoming more mobile.[15:20] Taipei vs. Saigon – First impressions of Taipei and what Saigon could learn.[18:45] City Changes & Reflections – Saigon's growth, Western comforts, and life lessons.Whether you've lived abroad or just dreamed about it, this episode is a reminder of what you gain when you leave—and what you leave behind.

Have you ever wondered if the Bible was actually written to you—or just for you? In this episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders unpacks why understanding the original audience and first-century context of the New Testament is crucial for truly grasping its message. Dive into the cultural backdrop, real-life tensions, and urgent challenges faced by early believers, and discover how this perspective can transform your faith and bring scripture to life in powerful new ways. If you've ever felt confused or disconnected from what you read in the Bible, this eye-opening episode is one you don't want to miss."If we ignore who the Bible was originally written to, we risk twisting what it actually means." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons To Listen:Unlock the Bible's Original Context: Discover why understanding who the Bible was originally written to in the first century completely changes its meaning—and how misreading this can lead to distorted theology.Expose Common Misinterpretations: Learn how applying ancient scriptures directly to modern life—especially politics and culture—can result in confusion, fear, and even push people away from the message of Jesus.Rediscover the Kingdom of God: Find out why the “Kingdom of God”—mentioned over a hundred times in the New Testament—is not a side topic, but the central theme often missed in Christian teaching today.Key Lessons:Understanding Biblical Context Is Essential - The Bible was written for us, but not to us. It's crucial to recognize that the original audience lived in a different time, place, and culture. When we ignore that, we risk misinterpreting or misapplying Scripture.Audience Matters More Than You Think - Every book, letter, and passage had a specific audience facing real issues of their day. Learning who these people were and what they were experiencing helps us better understand the true message behind the text.Most New Testament Writings Happened Within a Narrow Timeline - The bulk of the New Testament was written between AD 45 and AD 70, a period of massive change and tension for the early followers of Jesus—especially as the Old Covenant faded and the New Covenant took hold.Misapplying Scripture Causes Confusion and Harm - Trying to directly apply first-century issues or warnings to modern politics or culture leads to shallow, sometimes damaging theology. Instead, we should seek to understand principles that transcend time, not force-fit ancient texts into today's headlines.The Kingdom of God Is the Core Message - The Kingdom isn't a side topic—it's central to Jesus' teachings and to the mission of the early church. Recognizing this helps us connect all the threads of the New Testament in a powerful, life-giving way.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction: Rethinking the Bible's Audience00:59 The Problem with Modern Bible Interpretation02:13 Understanding the First Century Context03:12 My Journey with Biblical Context07:30 The Importance of Audience in Interpretation09:10 Misapplications and Their Consequences13:53 The Timeline of the New Testament17:47 The Significance of AD 7025:08 The Kingdom of God: The Core MessageResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:

This is a journey of digging deeper and stepping outside of traditional paradigms to truly understand the Bible.Context is Everything - Understanding who wrote the Bible, when, and to whom it was addressed is essential. Reading Scripture in historical and chronological order can unlock powerful insights and clarify confusing passages that may otherwise seem out of place.Beware of Fitting Scripture to Personal Beliefs - There's a real temptation to use the Bible to justify our own political, cultural, or religious positions. Tim encourages listeners to let Scripture guide our beliefs instead of molding Scripture to fit our preferences or social dogmas.Slowing Down Allows Spiritual Clarity - Distraction is the enemy of understanding. Taking intentional time to slow down, pause, and reflect can clear away mental clutter and help us approach the Bible with fresh eyes and a surrendered heart.Learning Means Unlearning - Genuine progress often involves admitting what we don't know—and even unlearning what we thought we understood. It can feel unsettling, but it's freeing and necessary for deeper transformation and spiritual maturity.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview00:35 Deconstructing Doctrines and Beliefs03:31 Personal Journey and Background06:30 Deep Study and New Insights09:01 Reading the Bible in Context10:36 Challenges with Modern Interpretations15:50 The Importance of Unlearning28:44 Conclusion and Next StepsResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:
