Do you live in a “Got to” world or a “Get to” world? Are you compelled by the love Jesus as shown you are controlled by your Self? Imagine how it would transform your spiritual life, as well as your day-to-day life, if you changed your perspective to “I get to” instead of “I got to.”

Elevating Personal Growth Through Environmental Consciousness Introduction: In the journey of personal growth and self-improvement, the environment we inhabit plays a crucial role that often goes underestimated. In this insightful discourse, we delve into the profound impact of our surroundings on our mindset, well-being, and overall quality of life. Chris, a seasoned advocate for holistic development, shares invaluable wisdom on how to harness the power of environment to foster positive change and elevate our daily experiences. The Power of Balance and Mind Evolution: Chris begins by emphasizing the significance of maintaining balance in our lives, encapsulating the essence of the "power hour" and the evolution of mindset. He advocates for the KISS principle—Keeping It Simple, yet ensuring balance pervades every aspect of our existence. Moving from a mindset of obligation ("got-to's") to one of passion ("love-to's") is highlighted as a pivotal step towards holistic well-being. The Pitfalls of "Got-To" Thinking: A poignant reminder is shared regarding the detrimental effects of perpetual obligation. Chris warns against the toxic cycle of 'got-to' thoughts, which not only erode our joy but can also manifest physically, potentially leading to grave consequences such as cancer. By reframing our perspectives and embracing activities out of genuine love and passion, rather than compulsion, we pave the way for profound personal transformation. Environmental Transformation: Central to Chris's philosophy is the notion of continually evolving one's environment. He advocates for daily reflection and small actions to enhance our surroundings, whether it's rearranging furniture, decluttering spaces, or immersing oneself in nature. Chris exemplifies this ethos in his own life, perpetually tweaking his office, home, and outdoor settings to optimize productivity, creativity, and serenity. Embracing Minimalism and Quality: A staunch advocate for minimalism, Chris extols the virtues of decluttering and prioritizing quality over quantity. Drawing parallels between external orderliness and internal harmony, he underscores the importance of sending positive signals to oneself through our environment. From meticulously organized digital files to meticulously chosen trekking gear, every detail is curated to reinforce a sense of worthiness and excellence. The Generosity of Upgrading: Chris's generosity extends beyond personal enrichment to uplifting others. His practice of upgrading and donating trekking gear exemplifies a mindset of abundance and compassion. By sharing the best with those in need, he not only adds value to their lives but also fosters a culture of reciprocity and gratitude. Mind-Environment Nexus: A profound correlation between our environment and mindset is elucidated, emphasizing the need for clarity and simplicity in physical spaces to cultivate mental clarity. Chris advocates for embracing nature sans distractions, allowing our senses to revel in the beauty and tranquility of the outdoors. By disconnecting from screens and immersing ourselves in natural surroundings, we rejuvenate our spirits and gain valuable perspective. Conclusion: In conclusion, Chris imparts a timeless message of empowerment through environmental consciousness. By recognizing the symbiotic relationship between our inner and outer worlds, we unlock untold potential for growth, fulfillment, and joy. Let us heed his wisdom, taking small yet intentional steps to cultivate environments that nurture our best selves and enrich the lives of those around us. Closing Note: As we bid adieu, let Chris's words resonate in our hearts, inspiring us to embark on a journey of continual improvement and environmental stewardship. Until next time, may each day be a canvas for transformative change and boundless possibility. Bye for now. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chris-walker70/message

In this episode, we continue our discussion of Unity's Five Principles with Principle 3 which states: “Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking” The principle states that it is you who co-creates your experience(s)! That we are active participants in the creation process. If you're like most, you're probably thinking; How? By the activity of your thinking and believing, as the Principle states! The caveat that cannot be ignored is that we are not alone in the process. Mark 11:24 states, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mathew 21:22 states “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” Notice that, in both passages, whether what you pray for “comes to be” or not, is contingent upon YOU! You are the determining factor! Is there any basis for this idea in science? Yes, there is as well! Quantum physics is essentially telling us that we live in an interactive universe (the observed is altered by the observer). Roman Catholic Priest and paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin put it this way: “The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.” To repeat my personal mantra: we have GOT TO change the way we see things! The time to start is now!

Isn't it crazy?    Look around; almost everything that you're looking at was created by someone– Wild, right?   and to top that, before all those people created those things, it was first an image in their mind.    We all have the same ability.

Why, on a podcast about content marketing, would we be talking NETWORKING? ‘Cuz ev.ree.thing converges! Think about how your message & brand personality shows up online. That's easy to imagine, right? But anytime you go ANYWHERE and you meet people…formally or informally - You are networking. Connecting. Building relationships - and if you're not clear in your content & messing.. EYES will glaze. Opportunities will be missed. And as my guest today - networking expert & coach Siobhán Fitzpatrick says, “It's not who you know. It's not who knows you. It's who knows what you know!” That's why today we're diving into bringin' your content offline & into the WILD of real life! Siobhán shares with us: WHY networking at all. Because…really? Do we have to? HOW your messaging & personal brands matter to people who want to work with those they LIKE & TRUST. WHAT to do about all this stuff if you're an introvert & easily exhausted by networking. How to do all this in a way that WORKS FOR YOU! (You know that's my 100% jam! We've GOT TO make it work for us!) So - listen in. (Plus, Siobhán has the loveliest Irish accent. You'll love her soothing voice.

From HOPE FOR THE CAREGIVER:  Sept 9, 2019   “I’ve Got To…,” “I Need to…,” “You Don’t Understand, I Have To….” “It’s My Obligation to …” These are all statements made by all caregivers at some point, and, sadly, all too frequently.  The feeling of obligation drives us to push ourselves to dangerous stress levels for our health, finances, and emotional stability.  The way we can push back is to recognize that we don’t own the problem.  Think about it, did you cause the problem?  Can you fix this issue? Stewardship Vs. Obligation Feeling obligated can quickly take us into resentment, which will only compromise our ability to live healthy lives, as well as serve as healthy caregivers. In reality, as caregivers, we’re stewards and powerless to fix the suffering of our loved ones.  Instead of owning the problem, we can instead own the concept of stewardship.  Doing so frees us to accept we are doing the best we can with what we have. Furthermore, adopting an attitude of stewardship, helps us breathe easier and treat ourselves with mercy—all of which equips us to be a better caregiver.   Sponsored by:

Considerations:   When it comes to tarps or tents, deciding what to bring for your next adventure, means you have to consider several features:   Durability and ease of care and repair Ease of set up and whether you expect to do so during daylight hours What temperature range you expect to use it in Type of weather conditions you’re likely to experience Volume - how much space will it take up in your backpack What kind of terrain will you be setting up in? Your personal comfort level with being exposed : your need for privacy and need for feeling safe and contained in the wild.  How much do you want to minimize critter invasion. How much head room and general space do you want? Are you claustrophobic?   Ventilation and condensation Weight:  how much weight are you willing to carry? Cost:  how much are you willing to pay to hit as many of your checklist items as you can? Other Questions:  Do you have different kinds of adventures?  You may want to invest in something that is modular, say, the bug tent can be left behind when not needed.   There’s a relatively new fabric called DCF for Dyneema Composite Fiber, nicknamed Cuban fiber.  This fiber is the strongest in the world, about 15x the strength of steel when you compare it by weight.  But it about doubles the cost of your tent or tarp, but cuts weight significantly to about ½-¾ oz per sq yd. Cuban fiber does have some drawbacks:  its stiff, so you can’t really squoosh it, meaning you have to fold it which adds wear and reduces its life. Folds are a ‘no no’ in performance gear, because you can create weakness and fiber breakage by repeatedly folding fabric the same way.   Heres another way to reduce weight:  You could reduce the typical coated polyester or nylon fabric from 30 oz to 15 oz weight for more cost, but that means less strength and durability.   Ultra Light is popular:  of course saves weight, but at a higher cost and less comfort.  I sewed my original gear using Ray Jardin’s Beyond Backpacking book.  Great how to (extreme how to) of lightweight backpacking.  This 2009 classic will give you food for thought. So many of the gear he made can now be bought ready made lightweight for better performance (again at a cost)   Waterproofing: The best waterproofer is silicone, so many fabrics are silicone coated.  However, you can’t seam tape with a silicone coating, so sometimes the outside shell of your tent or tarp is silicone coated, but the inside is wither polyurethane or polyethelene coated so the manufacturer can make seams.  It’s not a bad idea to use tent waterproof spray periodically to add life to your unit.  Ditto for tent seam sealer.  Nothing more unpleasant than a failing waterproof coating!  Obviously, a waterproof tent or tarp is a must!   Titanium Stakes:   I have found it worthwhile to upgrade my tent and tarp stakes to titanium.  Yes, they are more expensive, but they are super strong and they are so much lighter!  To make sure I don’t accidentally leave one of these jewels behind, I tie lightweight and neon colored surveyors tape to each so that they are easy to see when I break camp as well as for everyone to see that there is a rope they could trip one, so it prevents falls as well.   Consider renting gear!  Remember:  you can rent gear!  Don’t forget that. Check with you favorite outfitter to see what they have available.   If you plan on buying online, please also consider using the links on this cheat sheet and on the  ATSP website, Some of them are affiliate links, and at no additional cost to you, you are helping to support this podcast and keeping it ad free - thanks! Directory to all ATA podcasts: Adventure Travel Show podcast Active Travel Adventures podcast Episode Transcription: Below is a machine transcribed transcription of this episode. There are sure to be some boo-boos but for those that prefer to read rather than listen, I wanted to provide this for you. Welcome to the active travel show podcast. I'm your host kid parks. Today we're going to be talking about what's best, where in particularly what's best for you, tense tarps, and then there's a couple other options as well. This is a topic that people have bantered about for decades as to which is the best method, the each have their pros and cons and that's what we'll be discussing today. So let's get started. When deciding whether a tent or a tarp is going to be the best option for you for when you go camping or backpacking. There are 10 things that you need to consider. I'm going to first name them and then we'll dig down a little deeper. So here they are, but not in any particular order. Number two, the ease of setup and whether you expect to be doing so during daylight hours. Three, what temperature range do you expect to use it in? Hot, cold. Number four, what type of weather conditions are you likely to experience? Five. The volume. When you put this in your backpack, how much space is your sleep system going to take up? Number six what kind of train you could be setting up in hilly flat. Number seven, your personal comfort level being exposed, your need for privacy and your need for feeling safe and contained in the wild. How much do you want to minimize critter invasion? How much head room and general space do you want? Are you claustrophobic? Number Eight, let's talk about ventilation and condensation. Nine wait, biggie, Biggie, biggie. How much weight are you willing to carry and that leads us to number 10 cost because how you figure out all the things above is going to determine how much it's going to cost. How much are you willing to pay to hit as many of your checklist items and your preferences as you can? As a rule, camping tents are pretty durable and can be lightweight and easy to set up. My new tent has an Alasta sized collapsible aluminum frame that literally pops itself together with very little work on my part. You do want to try to buy a more advanced or late model to shore good ventilation technology has really improved over the last decade. In particular, my friend Jerry's first tent may have been a quote unquote bargain and it kept the rain out, but she had a wipe down the inside of the tent with a thick rag every morning from the heavy condensation because we transpire, I think I read once like a liter of moisture every night while we're sleeping. It was pretty gross and amend that her tent was always wet and that's something you want to try to avoid whenever possible is squishing your tent into your backpack while it's wet. However, attent is going to be better than a tarp and keeping you warm at night. But if it's the summertime and you're in a hot area and this is not a consideration because you only camp in the hot weather, then you may prefer the better ventilation of a tarp. Most tens are going to give you a better feeling of privacy and a feeling safe and contained. Whether real or imagined tense not only provides you this psychological barrier, they can also be a barrier to visiting or curious mammals. It's highly unlikely a bear or any other mammal is going to attack something. It can't see and it has no idea what it's up against inside that tent. I also found that true when I was tenting in Africa with all sorts of critters that do like to eat humans. We could hear them outside the tent, but they never disturbed any of us inside the tent. A tent is usually best at keeping bugs in the critters out, but with netting you can accomplish the same thing with a tarp. Sometimes these tarps are referred to as a tree tent and to me a tarp tent is easier to set up and bad weather. So what is a tarp? A tarp was a large piece of coated fabric, same kind of fabric. They make the tents out of that. Ideally you hold up the ropes to different trees, but if not, and you can use your poles as like a center beam prop up so it will form an a shape, like a tent. I find a tarp is easier to set up in bad weather because let's say it's raining while it's raining, I can set up my tarp tied to the trees and that I'm nice and dry sitting under the tarp while I set up the rest of my camp. I find it much easier than trying to set up a tent in the rain. I did think of my tarp set up is kind of like a floating tent, especially when I have lots of trees that can spread out the the tarp nice and wide. I've got gobs more space. Okay. And like with many products there's an abundance of choices in both tarps and tents so it's hard to choose exactly which one is the best camping tarp for you. Everything is going to depend not just on your personal preferences but where and when you plan on using it. Another thing I like about my tarp is that it's going to dry out quicker because there's less nooks and crannies for water to hide them whenever it does get wet. [inaudible] and I liked that my tarp is easier to keep clean on the trail and also want to get home. And I cannot emphasize enough that you're gonna need to take more time than you think you're going to need to thoroughly clean and completely, I mean, completely dry out all of your gear before you store it. Otherwise when you pull it back out, it's going to be rotten, moldy, and just disgusting. I know when you get home, you're tired, everybody's gonna be begging for your attention and you need to catch up on everything you missed while you're gone. But poorly cleaning and storing your cabling gear is going to cause you headaches and a lot of money. If you don't do it properly, tarps generally are going to weigh less than a tent, although if you're willing to spend the money, you can get a pretty lightweight tent. Yeah, tarps like tents are made from a fabric called ripstop, which is waterproof and extremely lightweight. I actually sewed my very first harp using information I found in rage. Our deans beyond backpacking book. This 2009 classic transformed how I thought about backpacking and my handmade tarp works great. 10 years ago when I went on my very first annual hiking clubs, major camping weekend, there's hundreds of us on this big, I think it was a boy scout camp somewhere that we rented out. My little handmade tarp was a source of great curiosity. I also custom sowed a little bug tent at a mosquito netting and I made a little ripstop stop ground sheet. So I think I had the benefit of both tent and a tarp and on both my tent and tarp to this day. I also took a piece of unsold ripstop fabric and I used that as sort of a foyer out front, and I pin that down with the stakes and that helps me keep the debris out of my sleeping area. So it helps keep it a little bit cleaner. I love my tarp, but only when I can tie it to trees to keep it high off the ground. If I'm gonna be camping where there aren't any trees and I've got to use my trekking poles for the height, then I find it a bit claustrophobic. Also, my high end, big Agnes tent weighs less than my tarp, and I have zero issues with the condensation like Jerry had. I have a funny story about the first time I ever used that tent. I had bought it to take with me on my Nicaragua. I can adventure because I wasn't quite sure about the tree situation. Like I said, I don't like to use the tarp. If I can't tie to a trees, I like to get it high above the ground, so I don't feel claustrophobic. This turned out to be a good call for me because at most of the camp sites, I would only have been able to elevate my tarp to the height of my trekking poles. So anyhow, on the last day of our adventure, we're at the base of San Crystal Ball. This is Nicaragua's tallest volcano. It's about 5,700 feet. And so after I set up my tent, I just went inside it to rest for a little bit and I could hear that I had irritated some bugs because they were buzzing underneath the floor fabric. So I keep lifting up the edges of the tent to let them out from underneath and afterwards I get up after my nap and I don't think anything about it. This is our final night in the wild and we had this great celebration to celebrate our summit of crystal ball and just the overall great adventures. One of my favorite trips was fabulous. Send the next morning when I wake up, I see all these diamond quarter size holes all along the perimeter of one edge of my very fancy and expensive new tent. Now Mind you, I'm pretty careful about cleaning any sticks and rocks from under my campsite. So I had tried to avoid any tears and holes, so I had no idea, couldn't imagine what may have caused all these holes. And it turns out that those little buzzing things, I heard this buzzy insects. I had laid my tent down over trail that was used by leaf cutter ants. A leaf cutter ant are these curious aunts who are about the size of carpenter ants. The air colony finds a source of leaf matter, usually trees or bushes, and they're going to form this trail of just thousands of thousands of ans going back and forth to the tree wherever the new food sources where they're going to take their large manacles and rip out a large piece of leaf about the diamond, the quarter size that I have, the holes I found in my tent, and they bring these pieces of leap back to the net. So you'll see this marching army of ants going to the tree. And on the way back, all the ants have got a little piece of green leaf in their mouth. So the leaves decompose and the ants feed on the fungus created from the decomposition. So in a way they're almost like mushroom farmers have decomposing leaves. Very cool. So my 10 screen, and apparently since I said I'm one of these trails, some of the ants decide they'd like to save a few steps. And so they ripped out holes from my tent. So somewhere in Nicaragua at the basis on crystal ball, there's a leaf cutter ant colony, and in it lies the permanent and decomposed remains of my tent, like the soup Nazi, no fungus for you, at least with my 10 parts. It makes a funny story, but I also want to give a big shout out this point to big Agnes, who is my tent maker as I just spent a small fortune on this tent and the aunts made it not only no longer rainproof, but now since they did on the floor of the tent, it would flood and even let the bugs and on the on the 10th floor, I sent it to them for a proper repair and I'm expecting a bill of at least a hundred dollars a more to fix it. But since the tent costs me well over three 50 I thought it'd still be worth it. I only use it this one trip and big Agnes charged me just 20 bucks and a small shipping fee. So Kudos to big Agnes for looking out for their customers. I'm going to put a picture of my holy tent on the website, which you can find at adventure travel show, podcast.com/tent you'll also be able to download a little cheat sheet about what we're talking about today as well. One thing I like best about a tarp shelter is that you can see all the things going on outside and you feel more a part of it. Of course, if you're a bit nervous about being out in the wild and being exposed, you probably are going to feel more protected and safe in a tent where you feel contained, like you're in a room. I do also like tarps too because they're going to give you the best ventilation because they are so open to the air and that air can really circulate my tent. I don't really have circulation problems, I don't have any condensation problems, but there's something about getting more that fresh air that I find with a, with the tarp. So I do love my tarp. As far as weight goes. A tarps probably gonna weigh less than your tent, but always, always, always check the specs. Just to be on the safe side problem with the tarp. If you don't use it with a bug net set up, you are inviting bugs and critters and all that into your camp site. So keep that in mind. And depending on where you're camping, you may not feel comfortable without bringing that bug net. and by doing so, now you're increasing the weight, so you get add the two parts together and compare that to your favorite 10th choice. Another drawback to the tarp, let's say the temperatures are dropping low, where you're going at 10 it's gonna be able to keep it more that heat compared to a tarp. The thing that made the tarp good, that nice ventilation is also going to mean it's going to get cold pretty quick. So you've got to consider the forecast and what the nighttime lows are of where you're going. And also look at what is your sleeping bag rated for? How low can that go? Jelly speaking. A tarp is only going to be good for late spring to early fall usage, depending on the weather, of course. And you can use your tent year round though. I love my tarp by, I also remember one night in particular that I wish I had a tent. Jane, Jerry and I are doing that life changing two week backpacking section, hike of the Appalachian trail. We could see that some storm clouds are rolling in. So we decided to make camp early, get set up, eat and get all tucked in before the skies opened up. We found a well you site just off the trail that was nice and flat, but the ground was really compacted from all the heavy use. We set up, our camp quickly ate our dinner at four 30 in the afternoon and we're snugging our tents and in my case, my tarp by five that afternoon as the storm comes rolling through. Okay, perfect. Right. And we were especially grateful for being nice and dry whenever we heard these other hikers out there walking by us drowning in the downpour as they were walking by or campsite. As the rain is pounding the ground, the drops of rain were bouncing off this compacted soil and bouncing underneath my tarp, getting me and my sleeping bag wet. I remember I like to have the head rooms. I had it pitched pretty high. Found out that doesn't work so well on compacted soil in the rain, so I had to get up in the rain and in the storm and then lower my tarp lower to the ground so it would be wider rather than taller and that these ricocheting raindrops would no longer hit me and my sleeping bag. A lesson I learned for the next time I see storm clouds coming and amusing. My Tarp. One thing I do love about my tarp bug set up is this. If I'm confident of no overnight rain, I can set up just the bug tent and then I could see not only my perimeter, but also the night sky and get a complete view and all the breeze. It is pure heaven without bugs. It's wonderful. Here's another consideration. Got To think about regardless of what camping, shelter choice and that size, you're going to see them advertise as one person or two person tents or tarps. Let's just say that the manufacturers are a little bit generous in giving themselves the benefit of the doubt as to how many people their products can comfortably fit. Okay. I purposefully chose two person tent even though I tent solo because I like to keep a lot of my things in my tent and a one person tent. While it may weigh less, it's really tight to fit into. It makes me a little claustrophobic and if for some reason I had to share my two person tent with somebody else, we'd had to be really close. I mean snugging clothes the whole night. I call my tent, the quote unquote two person tent, I would call it a one and a half person tent. Like I said, this weeks free download is going to be a comparison chart between tents and tarps to help you decide. Remember you can find it at adventure travel show, podcast.com/tent or you can get automatically with the monthly newsletter and if you haven't signed up for it, you can use the link on the website or you can email me@kittatactortrialadventures.com and I'll put you on the list. Remember, I'm not going to spam you. I don't sell your information. You just get one email a month from me, usually the first week of the month and that includes any travel planners from the active travel adventures podcast plus any checklists or downloads that we covered on this adventure travel show podcast, so it's easy and free and I'd like to believe it's a good resource for you. There are a couple other shelter options that we have not discussed. The Bibby sack and the Hammock a be a vac sack. Most people call it a bivy is a sack that you put around your sleeping bag to make it waterproof. Sometimes you're going to use a trekking pole to elevate the head area. Other times, not they're super lightweight, but I think they're pretty claustrophobic and a lot of people will combine their bivy set and set up a tarp on top of it. This is about as fast as you can imagine setting up camp because it's like just sliding on a large pillowcase. Your Bibby simply goes over your sleeping bag and you're crawling it like you're crawling into a cocoon. Well, it's not for me. You may like it because of its ease of use. It's lightweight and so it should be a consideration depending on what kind of adventure you're going on. However, there's one thing about Bibi's that also makes it a no, no. For me. Yeah. It's just like a tarp. If you're not using a bug net, which means that things can crawl over you at night. This includes snakes, Scorpions in any other critter. Another option is a hammock and where the tarp allows you to use your hiking poles when no trees are available at Hammock does not. You have to have some sturdy trees to put the thing up. I have a Hammock and to me the bug net was an important consideration. I had to make sure mine could come with the the, with the bug net option, I tend to camp during the buggy seasons, so a camping hammock with the mosquito netting was a must. I bought my portable hammock mainly for car camping more than as a backpacking hammock and frankly the one that got weighs more than my tent or my tarp. So it's super important to always check specs, especially the wait before you buy anything. I've also heard people complain that they think hammocks are too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. But I do like with the camping Hammock, you do have all that air circulation completely around you. So I think that's kind of cool. One really key benefit of a hammock is the now you can sleep on uneven terrain. Sometimes finding a flat place to pitch your tent or tarp can be difficult. But with a hammock all you need is two sturdy trees. For me, I am. It does take some getting used to and since I like to sleep on my side, it's not my favorite for nighttime sleep, but for a nap. I love it. Sleeping at night for me, not so much. Nonetheless, I often keep my travel hammock in the trunk of my car to use as a napping hammock in case I take a day out into a local park, especially unexpectedly. Here's the bottom line. Here's the thing. Every person and each environment really dictate which method is best for you. Some of the considerations will be dictated by your personal preferences. Do you like an open feel or do you prefer feeling more snug and protected? Do you want the method that's easiest to clean and maintain or the lightest weight? All these factors can dominate your decision. However, the weather you're anticipating can give you a reason to switch methods. Variable situations mean you need to consider some other things. What's the weather going to be like? Rain, snow, cold, hot. That certainly should be a consideration for which method is best for this upcoming trip that you're going on. If it's going to be cold, you're probably gonna want to use a tent. If it's going to be hot, indoor, rainy, a tarp might be a better choice. Provided you have trees, of course. Are you going to have to carry it? If you're car camping, you can get really elaborate and bring all sorts of things, but if you're trudging along way up, a mountain weight is critical and if you'd like to hike until late into the day, into dusk, into dark, you're probably going to choose something that's easy to set up, particularly if you tend to make camp while after dark. Okay. If you do a combination of different kinds of adventures, you may want to choose something that's versatile. Is the camping unit you're considering modular, does it allow you to add and subtract components? Say like a bug net so you can tailor your tent or your tarp to the conditions you expect it encounter. Yeah. Would you prefer an ultra light backpacking? Tendra tarp, lightweight tents and tarps don't come cheap. I've heard it said that it costs about a hundred dollars a pound for any weight you want to drop from your gear. I actually think it's probably a little bit more than that now, but the quality of the materials makes a huge difference in both the weight and the durability. There's a relatively new fabric called DCF for Dyneema composite fiber. It's been nicknamed Cuban fiber. This fiber is the strongest in the world. It's about 15 times the strength of steel when you compare it ounce for ounce, but it about doubles the cost of your tender tarp. However, it cuts the weight significantly to about a half an ounce to three quarters of announced per square yard. Huge difference. Cuban fiber does have some drawbacks. It's pretty stiff, so you can't squish it like we talked about earlier. This means you have to fold it, which is gonna add, wear and tear and reduce its life. Folds are big. No, no. And performance gear because folding can create weaknesses and the fiber breakage by repeatedly folding the fabric in the same way. So repeat after me. Do not fold your things in your pack and less like the Cuban fiber, you have no choice. Squishing your gear is always best, whether it's your rain jacket, your thermal jacket, sleeping bag, or your tent. Here's another way to reduce weight. You could reduce the typical coated polyester or nylon fabric that we're using from about 30 ounces to about 15 ounce weight. It's gonna cost you more, so you're going to have less durability and strength, but it's going to save your back a little bit because of the lighter weight. Again, everything's a trade off as you're shopping the best waterproof or a silicone. So you're going to find a lot of fabrics are silicone coated. However, a problem is silicone tape is the silicone coating. You can't do seam tapes to silicone coating, so sometimes you're going to find the outside of your tent or your tarp has got the silicone coating, but on the inside they're gonna use like a polyurethane or polyethylene. And this coding allows the manufacturers to make seams. So it's going to be one way on the top and the other way on the inside. And if I'm not mistaken, I don't think the silicone coding is allowed in California. Maybe for fire. I don't think it passes their fire tests. I might be wrong on that, but, but if I'm right, then I don't think you can get the silicone coating in California. A huge market. Of course, regardless, I think it's a pretty good idea to use tent waterproof spray periodically. This is going to add some life to your unit. Ditto for the tent seam sealer. Nothing is more unpleasant than a failing waterproof coating and obviously having a waterproof Tinder tarp is a must. And another thing, I have found it worthwhile to upgrade my tent and tarp steaks to titanium. Yes, they're more expensive, but they're also super strong and they are so much lighter and to make sure I don't actually leave all these little expensive jewels behind, I tie some lightweight and neon colored surveyors tape to each one so that they're easy to see when I break camp. Plus also they tell everybody there's a rope they need to watch out for it, so it prevents falls as well. Okay. I'm blessed to be able to afford multiple camp shelter options. But if you can only choose one method, think about the environment you expect to be using in the most and then go with the one that best fits your situation. Maybe you can rent or borrow the kind you didn't choose when that would be a better choice for any particular adventure. In fact, maybe it would be a good idea to rent or borrow different types of products before you even buy. So you're really comfortable in your choice. Gear can be expensive and don't forget you can rent gear. Don't forget that. Check with your favorite outfitter and see what they have available. If you plan on buying online, please also consider using the links on my website and in my travel planners.

Yeah, so I guess it all boils down to the fact there's no one perfect camping shelter product. Each has its own pros and cons. However, for you in particular, there's gotta be one product that's likely to be the most suitable one that's going to best fit your personality and your preferences and the particular kinds of adventures that you'd like to take.

You guys know who you are. Create their sense of calm, clarity and confidence, a mindset for success. And guys, I’ll be honest with you, I listened to Episode 116 where we talked about the self-reflection and the importance of self-reflection. I thought it was extremely important to really talk about why a lot of people need that self-reflection, right? Because the everyday stresses of life is kicking a lot of you guys’ butt, truly and honestly. And when we talk with Dr. Michelle today, you'll hear instances where the mental stress is causing physical manifestations and we talked about how the physical stress can cause mental ramifications, right? So it's definitely a relationship that if it's not in tune, if you are not ready to not only accept stress, because stress is coming, there's no way you can avoid it. But when it does come, be able to manage it. And I think as a keyword, we don't deal with stress, we manage stress, right? So it'd be able to manage that stress and then use it for your betterment. We're going to be in trouble, right? And unfortunately I take care of a lot of patients who the stressors of life - job, work, family relationships has beat them down to the point that they're physically sick and we don't want that. So again Episode 117, we have Dr. Michelle Clay. We're going to be talking about stress all throughout this episode. I want you guys to really pay attention and really get some tips to learn how to de-stress and declutter your life for the better. So like always, if you had not had a chance, make sure you subscribe to the podcast. If you're on apple podcasts, leave with five star review and let me know what'd you think about Dr. Michelle’s episode. You guys have a great and blessed day. Main Episode Dr. Berry: Alright, Lunch and Learn community. So you just heard another amazing introduction from a guest that I've been waiting in the background to get onto the show for quite a while and I just felt this was a time this was right. And when you listen to this, you know, National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. When did we talk about the mental health and talk about what makes it so that you can actually have good mental health, right? Like this is one of the key factors that will determine whether you have good mental health or not, right? Which is stress. But lo and behold, Dr. Michelle again, thank you for coming onto the show for the Lunch and Learn community and educating us and gracing us with your presence. Dr. Michelle Clay: Thank you Dr. Berry for having me. I'm so happy to be here. I'm so excited. This is such an honor. Dr. Berry: Dr. Michelle, I gave introduction and other intro. I do, I already know I got some people who like to skip to introduction and come right to the main story. So for the people who do that, because we know we got those people who like to skip the line, tell them something about you who they may not be able to read this off, getting off your bio, right? Who is Dr. Michelle?  Dr. Michelle Clay: So, I think since people really want to know about stress and what they can do about it, because stress is such a problem. I'll tell you something about me that people might not know what led me to talk about stress and focus on that, in mindset so much. So many people have had struggles just like I have in this new day and time. There are a lot of blended families. There are very few traditional, what we call traditional families whereas the mother, the father, and they have their kids and they live happily ever after in one house. Until death do us part with the husband and wife. But that wasn't my story. That isn't my story. So you meet someone, you fall in love, but when you fall in love with them, everything else follows that. Past relationships, unforgiveness, past hurt, past wrongs. And this is if I inherited that, which was not even mine. So the next thing I know there's a tug-of-war of back and forth with my honeybun’s child and co-parenting was nonexistent. It's still non-existent. I'm in the middle of trying to support my mate and also act as if I'm kind of like a surrogate mother for lack of better terminology. And the moms, I do not want you to fuss at me. It was a lot of struggle. There was jealousy. There was anger. There was rage. There was constant court dates. There were constant motions filed. There was the police called. It was all of that. And though I consider myself a super wonder woman, and I know some of my sister's super wonder women are listening, you just can't juggle it all. You cannot carry all that, is your responsibility as well as be supportive for somebody else. And I began to buckle - my health deteriorated.  And I'm very, very health conscious. I'm a vegetarian. I eat a lot of raw foods. I juice a lot. But even in that, I was still experiencing the symptoms of stress such as gallstones, chronic tension in my neck and in my shoulders where I could not even turn my neck all the way over, all the way to the left, rather. Lower back pain, hair thinning and falling out. And it didn't make any sense to me at all. So I really encouraged people to follow my story and really get in tune to what is going on with them. This chronic stress can lead to or worsen present medical conditions. Maybe everybody knows that and maybe they don't. I don't know. But I hadn't been diagnosed with anything and even I had uterine fibroids and they grew, (wow). Yes, I have been keeping my uterine fibroids at bay for like 14 years, doing a lot of natural therapies. But when that stress came down on me, then I could feel them growing where my acupuncturist said, “oh no, you need surgery”. Yes. And I had surgery and guess how many I had? Dr. Berry: I heard stories of women with multiple fibroids. How much? Dr. Michelle Clay: I had 20 fibroids. Dr. Berry: Wow. Wow. Okay. Okay. Dr. Michelle Clay: 20 fibroids. Yes. Dr. Berry: I don't know if people realize, especially when it comes to fibroids, it is a hormonal component associated with the growth of fibroids and obviously stress being in a situation you're in, definitely didn't help those hormones, I'm assuming. Dr. Michelle Clay: Absolutely. Chronic stress will affect your estrogen, your testosterone. It will affect the entire endocrine system to include insulin, which is a hormone. So absolutely. Dr. Berry: Now when you were going through this time period, where kind of distress was just kind of being put on top of you and day after day, week after week, did you feel a lot of these other medical conditions that kind of rolls up, kinda ashes or were they always there and stress just kind of made it worse? What would you say one way or the other? Dr. Michelle Clay: The fibroids had been there, but my fibroids, they would shrink and come back, shrink and come back. But never that large. But the gallstones I never had before, I never had that. And the muscle tension where I couldn't turn my neck all the way to the left that had never been there before. My hair thinning and falling out - I had that before, but only when I had a perm. But I have been the natural system now for, let me see for 17 years (Alright.) So wasn’t it either. But especially at the time when I developed the gallstones, I was only eating raw at that time. I wasn't even eating any cooked foods. Dr. Berry: That might precipitated those gallstones. Wow. Okay. Dr. Michelle Clay: Exactly. So you know, they say that there's an increase incidents and gallstones with the F's. If you're fat forty and female. I have the 40 and the female together. But the fat, no.  Dr. Berry: And I can tell you Lunch and Learn community, definitely, Dr. Michelle is a tall lanky, tall lanky individuals. So yeah. Dr. Michelle Clay: That's funny.  Dr. Berry: You know and what's interesting, especially in when we talk about stress and obviously we're going to get into it, seeing that the stress that unfortunately you weren't even directly responsible for. Unfortunately, was being thrust upon you, was causing a lot of undue aspects of you're just a medical and health and well-being. Is that something that you seem to be pretty common? Like a lot of times it's not even something that we're directly doing that's kind of resulting in all of the issues that stress is causing upon us? Dr. Michelle Clay: Absolutely. Because according to the American Institute of Stress, the number one cause of stress in America is job-related. And so that's definitely a place where you don't have any control, especially if you aren't the boss. But even if you are the boss and you have employees, you don't have control over what your employees do or what they don't do or how they respond to situations. So what's really important about to me about stress management, is that you manage it. You tell your mind what to think and don't allow whatever situations are going on around you to dictate how you feel and how you respond. We always have a choice. Now, trust me, I did not come to this overnight because still in my mind I would kind of position myself like the victim, like, “oh my goodness, if this weren't happening then I wouldn't feel like this.If this situation weren't present, I wouldn't feel like this.” You know, all these, what if’s. But when I eliminated the language and the perspective of the what if and looked at my hand and my head and my heart of what I did have, then that gave me the power to take control back of my emotions and my response. And so I'm going to tell you, I'm going to give you a brace report. I just went to my massage therapist on Sunday and she said, oh, Dr. Michelle, what have you been doing? Your muscles are so pliable, I can get my fingers in deep, doing my work. Dr. Berry: Yes. I love it. I love it. Dr. Michelle for the Lunch and Learn community members who, you know, obviously heard your story and I'm pretty sure a lot of them would probably like, like myself, kind of shaking my head like, yeah, she's so right. Yep. I know exactly what she's feeling. When we talk about just stress in general, right? What do you tell the person when they say, Dr. Michelle, what is stress? What does that even mean in the grand scheme of things? Dr. Michelle Clay: So let's be clear about something. Number one, a lot of us have grown up with the idea that stress is a bad thing and that is a sign of weakness. You're not strong, you can't handle things, you can't handle life. First of all, stress is a positive thing when it comes in spurts. Is not an emotional response. It is actually a physiological response that is built in for our survival. So for instance, if you have a presentation that's due, if you are driving on the road and someone suddenly slams their foot on the brakes and you have to react very quickly for your survival, then your stress response is going to be activated. And that starts in the brain. And in the brain there are many parts of the brain, but one part in particular, the hypothalamus is activated, which then activates the pituitary gland, which then sends out hormone to activate the adrenal glands to produce more of the hormone which people know as our stress hormone - Cortisol. So Cortisol will then in turn activate things where digestion won't be taking place. Because if you're trying to survive, you're trying to run away from someone robbing you. You're trying to avoid life accident, you don't have time to digest foods. And then it'll also cause more blood to flow in the larger muscles of your body, like our size and that type of thing. Getting ready to run. So when they say fight or flight, it's for our survival. But the problem becomes when that response is activated constantly on a chronic basis. So those body processes that we don't really need in the moment for our survival, guess what? Those things have decreased activity on a chronic basis and that's what causes the problems that we have. Dr. Berry: So in the short run, you know, you need to stop those breaks, you need to run away. You need to do something. It's a good thing. (Absolutely.) But unfortunately you said in the long run is where we get in trouble. Consistent aspect of like, okay, this has happened. Like, like you said, when we talk about the jobs, like every day I go to a job, every day I want to deal with the same stress over and over and over again. And that's when we kind of run into trouble. Dr. Michelle Clay: Correct. That's correct. Dr. Berry: So I guess the question is why, and I hear this all the time, I hear it was a lot of my patients, they always say, well, I could just deal with stress better. Right? Like what does that even mean? Are some people more affected by the quote unquote everyday stressors of life and can some people handle it better than the others? Or is that just been like innate within them? How does one be able to deal with stress?  Dr. Michelle Clay: So studies have shown that people who went when they were in utero, their mothers experience a lot of stress, then they have a different type of stress response. However, with that being said, that is something that you can manage and overcome. For instance, with therapy, with counseling, learning how to read, just different types of coping techniques and strategies. Now, I'm not a therapist, but I have some stress-releasing strategies on my own. But I always believe that what is necessary to do is get to the root of a problem. So while you may need some strategies for the day to day, if you know that you have come from an abusive household or that your mother experienced some kind of trauma when she was pregnant with you, then I definitely recommend therapy. Dr. Berry: Interesting. And I'm definitely that strategy kind of touched on that because I think a lot of times when we hear these people talk about, well I can deal with stress, you know better. And you know, this stress is worse than others that we do have to kind of look within. Right? It's usually some intrinsic reason why you yourself is able to deal with stress, but maybe your brother can't. Maybe your sister, like even people within the same kind of household can sometimes deal with stress on a better level than others, right? And it's weird to say deal with stress, because I'm not even sure if that's the correct way we should be saying it, but I guess you'd be better off to tell it. Is it a good thing that you can deal with stress, especially on a chronic basis? That's something that you've seen that helps people in the long run better? Dr. Michelle Clay: I wouldn't say deal. I would say manage because every day you can be triggered by something and you made a good point there, Dr. Berry, as far as people can live in the same household and maybe a sibling reacts to the same situation in a different manner. Now, that can go back to what was happening in utero. It can also lend to what is happening in the brain because chronic stress affects your brain, different areas of your brain. For instance, especially the prefrontal cortex. I really love to talk about that one right there, because that particular… Dr. Berry: Educators, that's why you're here because we need the education. So please, please go ahead. Dr. Michelle Clay: Yes. The prefrontal cortex, which is the front part of your brain, like where your forehead is. So that deals with higher cognitive functioning. So that's going to be long-term planning, perception, executive functioning, things like that. So chronic stress really affects that area of the brain, decreasing the activities. So let's say that you're in the same household, the same situations are happening, but the brother activity isn't responding in the prefrontal cortex the same way that yours. So that's something that you have to consider. But I always feel like this, that anything can be managed. I don't like to use the terminology deal because it says if you kind of just live in and they ignore it. (Right, right.) And accept what is happening to you even though it's not optimal for your wellness and well-being. So I really, words mean a lot words mean a lot because we can give life to whatever it is that we speak. So that's why I say manage and then you come up with a plan and a strategy, then you will be able to manage better and better until the next thing you know you're like, “that thing that used to set me off, I'm good. I feel calm. It doesn't affect me like that. It doesn't shift me. It doesn't shift me from my position.” When you know who you are, you know your position. Then whatever anyone else is doing, it doesn't shake you or shifts you. Dr. Berry: I love it and I know we talked about especially like with whatever that thing is, right? We talked about the job being a big contributor to a lot of people's stress, right, but the people that you've worked with and taking care of, what had been some of the common reasons that they say stress them, right? Like, you know, I got some off the top. I always, I'm thinking money, right? But what are some of the things that you run into that say, “Oh yeah, a lot of my clients usually have this issue and that issue “as far as what's the initial cause of such stress? Dr. Michelle Clay: Number one is going to be the job. They either feel like they don't make enough money. They may experience micro aggression on their job. I've known a few people where it was so severe they had to file a complaint with EEOC. (Ok.) Yes, yes, yes. It can get very serious and very deep. The other things: feeling unfulfilled. Especially most of my clients are 40+, like between the 40 and 55-year-old range. And you get to a point in your life then when you look around and you're like, “okay, am I doing what it is that I plan to do? And if I'm not, is it fulfilling me? Do I feel like I'm on the right track? Do I feel that I'm working in my purpose? Do I even know what my purpose is?” Then in that 40 to 55 range, a lot of times we're talking about divorce. So job, then money and then relationships. (Wow, ok.) Yeah. Dr. Berry: Now that age, especially very interesting that you kind of mentioned that age. Is that where the typical quote-unquote midlife crisis, if that's, and again, I don't know if, is that an actual thing? Is that where that kind of comes about when we talk about the quote-unquote midlife crisis where people are starting to evaluate their life? Dr. Michelle Clay: Yes. But in my experience, in my personal experience, I feel that men and women respond to that differently. Now I had a little moment, I'm going to own it because I think it's important. Yes. I feel it's important to be very transparent with people because often when people are going through things, they feel alone and they isolate themselves and therefore they cannot get the help and support that they need. But I did have a moment where I felt like, I feel a little bit down. I wasn't clinically depressed, but I did have somewhat of a depressed mood where I felt like I should be further along than where I am now. This is not how I envisioned my life to look when I was 25. Actually, there's nothing in my life that looks like what I envisioned. Dr. Berry: So you were batting like zero at this point and you're looking around your life. Like, “hold on, I thought this was going to be completely different. Okay. Alright.” Dr. Michelle Clay: Exactly. And especially when you come to a point when you're struggling financially or you're struggling in your relationship and you feel like it's not supposed to be like this. But what I decided to do to pull myself out of that was I created, people do vision boards all the time, but I can't carry a board around. So I got a notebook, I've got a notebook, and I put in their affirmations. I put in exactly what I wanted. I put in pictures and when I would go to my job, which was stressful, I carried my little notebook with me and I would just look inside my notebook. And then it helped me remember who I am and what my goals were. Dr. Berry: I love it. So how has and how does the stressors that we've faced with, whichever realm we face it in, how does it, and have you seen it affect people's bodies and their health or their wellness, just like as a whole? Especially when it's, again, it's not the every now and then, but now it's every week, every day. Like how have you seen that over the years affect people‘s health and wellness kind of associated along with it? Dr. Michelle Clay: Probably one of the number one things that I constantly see is high blood pressure because yes, chronic stress definitely affects your cardiovascular system. So that stress hormone, Cortisol I was speaking of, it causes vasoconstriction and vasoconstriction. Of course, I know, you know before the audience, nasal constriction is when the vessels tighten up. So the analogy I like to use is when you think about a garden hose, so if you're watering your lawn and there aren't any kinks in the hose, that water's going to flow out right. But if something gets in there or somebody bins, then the water is not going to flow so nicely. It might trickle a little bit. So that's the same kind of concept that's occurring and people's blood vessels as well as increased heart rates. So I'd say blood pressure's the number one. Muscle tension, muscle tightness. That's the number two thing that I see most commonly. Sleep disturbances will probably be the third thing that I see most commonly. Either they cannot sleep or they sleep too much or when they fall asleep they cannot stay asleep. Dr. Berry: And what I love about what you're doing is that, because I think a lot of times when people think of stress and a lot of times we do this backward, right? Where we talk about how the physical ailments that we're dealing with affects our mental. But here you are kind of really, you know, really educating Lunch and Learn community anyway. Hey, like you see these mental transgressions that you're dealing with on a day-to-day basis. This is how it shows up on the physical side, right? So it is like a two-way street. Like yeah, some physical stuff could definitely mess your mental up. But if you're mental, especially when we talk about stress, because that's the thing, this is how stress can affect you in the doctor's office, right? This is what we, I may not be able to see the macroaggressions’ that your job is doing to you, but I do see it when you come and get your checkup and your blood pressure still can be controlled. Dr. Michelle Clay: Absolutely. And mind and body go hand in hand. It's just like which came first, the chicken or the egg? So it's not like a first, is the cycle. It's a circle. So even with chronic stress you may have decreased pleasure and that can affect your relationship if you don't feel like being intimate with your partner. Okay. Even though intimacy is a great stress reliever but you don't feel like doing it. Dr. Berry: So the stress is beating you up on a day to day basis. That even though you know that, like, that's a good thing that's happening over there. I can't even get the mental fortitude to get on that area because I'm just not ready for it. Dr. Michelle Clay: Correct. And it can affect men, especially because with chronic stress it can decrease testosterone level. Dr. Berry: Okay. Alright men of Lunch and Learn community and I hope you listening. We've talked about this before on a previous podcast with a guests or we were talking about this masculinity and you know how we as men allow masculinity to really got a lot of problems in our relationships, social relationships. And again, this is where we're getting, we're this tying in to say like, hey, yes it can cause some problems if you're not ready, if you're not managing it the way you need to manage it. So this is the end results that can occur. So I’m definitely loving that. (Correct.)  So we talked about some of the kind of the physical ailments to health and wellness, but what about the, and you talked a little bit when you alluded to just the thought process and the mindset that chronicity of stress plays on people and has even played on you. What were some of the ways that you see that, you said like, wow, you know, this is, and I know one was it taking me out physically, but like I'm not even thinking straight. My mindset even there. What have been some of the ways that you've seen that come into play? Dr. Michelle Clay: People come to me and they feel stuck. That's what they feel stuck. Sometimes when they come, they don't say I'm stressed. They'll say things like, I need a change, but I don't know how to get there. Okay. They just feel stuck. They cannot move forward past unforgiveness. They cannot move to make a plan. They know they want something better and sometimes they don't even have clarity as to what. So exactly your thought process is you're not thinking clearly. It's difficult to focus. You may even have problems with your memory with chronic stress. Not to the extent of like Alzheimer's or anything like that, but you understand what I'm saying? For instance, I don't remember where I put my wallet. Okay. I even had an incident the other day in my personal home where my housemate was so stressed out, he walked out the door and didn't realize he didn't close it. So I come home in the door is wide open. Dr. Berry: Oh, I bet that conversation must, nah. I'm just mad at that conversation. If I leave the door and I come home, I'm like, oh, what the hell are you doing buddy? Dr. Michelle Clay: But see, the thing is when you use your stress release and strategies, then I'm able to manage that. First of all, I need to know is everything safe, safe to walk in the house? Do I need to call the police? Is anything missing? The only thing that was missing was the cats. And then once I find the cat, then I just have a very calm conversation. Just like this tone of voice. Just don't forget to put on the deadbolt. That's it. If I get my, if I get all hyper and I'm stressed out, well that's going to affect the rest of my day. And I have things to do. I need to focus. I need to be clear. I need to manage my time well. So there's ways to manage and see that's an example of you taking control and not allowing anything or anyone to shift you from your position. Dr. Berry: And it was interesting, especially because when you talk about just even the memory, because I'm a program director, so I got residents around me and you know, we work in a hospital setting. So you know, when we hear like rapid response or cold blue and all of a sudden, you know, those same residents who are calm and collective and they get into that emergent mode, they forget the stethoscope, they forget that white coat. They forget where they need to. Like your memory just isn't as sharp as it needs to be. And that's those only in a short instance. So I can only imagine if chronically you're dealing with something over and over and over again, what that would do over a longer span. Dr. Michelle Clay: Absolutely. I feel for the residents because I remember that time and actually there are moments in my life that I will never remember, not just because I was stressed, but also sleep deprivation. Dr. Berry: Oh yes. Oh, okay. Yeah. You bring back the, hey, so bad we don't, we forget about some of the things we went through as a resident because you're like, oh yeah. Dr. Michelle Clay: I don't mean to trigger anything, Dr. Berry. I don’t want to trigger something. Dr. Berry: I'm just thinking about it now. Oh yeah. Really? Yeah, the tough times as a resident. Tough time as a resident for sure. Talk to us about some of the ways that you've helped guide people to help manage and even release their stress. Which is a very interesting concept when we talk about the releasing of the stress, right? Like what are some of the ways that you've been able to educate and coach some of your clients to, to kind of get them over the hump, I guess, if there is a hump to get over? Dr. Michelle Clay: Well, first of all, I helped them, number one to turn off the autopilot in the racing thoughts and get some of that stuff out of your head out. And sometimes that can be as simple as journaling. Now I meet people where they are. Some people like, “Dr. Michelle, I am not going to journal.” Okay. Dr. Berry: They're honest with you. Dr. Michelle Clay: They are honest with me and I appreciate that because then I can meet you where you are and we can work together. From my perspective, my responsibility as a physician is not to heal you but to guide you and give you tools that you can activate your own healing power and heal yourself. So first of all, depending on what they are dealing with, I just write it out on paper. I'm like, okay, what's the first thing that you feel you need to conquer or you need to manage to get to your next step? And they'll tell me whatever that is. And they said, oh, but that seems so big. I said, well wait a minute, let's break it down. Let's break it down. So then, once I help them break it down piece by piece, just as if you're building a house, if you're going to build a house, well I'm not going to say a house, let's just say a shed because that can be a weekend project. People can relate to that. You're going to go to home depot or Lowe's and you're going to get the supplies that you need. You're going to map out how you're going to do this as an architect - you're going to have a blueprint and then you're going to follow that blueprint. But sometimes let's say that piece of wood that you need to have a splints are in it and the nail goes through where you're not going to wig out. What are you going to do? You go and pick up another piece of wood and put it in place. So I break it down with them like that, step by step, piece by piece. And then I also get them to commit, not a “someday” or “I'm going to try”, what is it that you're going to do? And okay, Dr. Michelle, I'm going to do this. Okay, so you're going to do this by what day? Now I'm going to call you, I'm going to check in. So if you know, especially if you have somewhat of a competitive spirit, if you know someone is looking over you, but more importantly looking out for you, think you're more apt to do that. And then I'm like you know what, I'm so glad that you told me to do that because it wasn't as hard as I thought. Dr. Berry: I love it and that's so correctly, and I'm laughing because I, you're not going to tell we known each other for about three years now. A little bit, give or take. She really does this, like this is it, just like she really would be like, no, no, no, no, no. I need like the date and time that you said this project is going to be completed so I can reach out to you on that time just to make sure we're all on the same page. So she really does this. It's not just for the show. Dr. Michelle Clay: It’s not just for the show. This is real. This is definitely real. So that's one thing. And then another powerful thing that I have them do that I do every day are affirmation. So affirmations are really about saying I am, and then whatever is after that, you're creating that in your life. So some people, I have them simply say every day I am calm, I love myself, or whatever it is. A lot of people deal with self-image issues where they feel that they're not worthy. They devalue themselves by the words they say to themselves and that creates their reality. And then they act that out in real life. And even if someone says, oh no honey, I love myself, but I'm watching what you're doing. I'm watching how you treat yourself. I'm watching what you're eating, I'm watching how you're sleeping and watching who you allow around you. If there are people who will bring you down or discourage you, or if there are people who will lift you up. So it doesn't matter what you say in that instance, it matters what you do. What I get people to do is say and then also act what they say. Dr. Berry: I love it. Do you find a lot of people will do the form of the ladder? They'll say all the stuff that I'm going to do this, I want to do that. But when it comes to actually putting, you know, the pen to the paper, taking that next step, you find l that's where a lot of people kind of falter when it comes to managing and releasing of set stress?   Dr. Michelle Clay: They do, but it's a process because just like riding a bike, when we first got on the bike, well some of us had training wheels. I had training wheels. Some people just immediately got on the bike and there were times when you fell down, but even though you fell down, you've got that up and got back on the bike and they may have put a helmet on you and some knee pads and some elbow pads just to protect you a little bit. But at the end of the day, you still got back up on the bike. Now you may have paused because you got a little nervous and said, oh well I'm afraid to try right now. I'm gonna wait until next week and try again. But the point is that you tried again and so it's a process that's the same way with my clients. Some people when I tell them things and we come up with a plan together, then they take action and full, they're good. Some people they kind of wax and wane and oh well I don't know, blah blah, blah. Oh Dr. Michelle I didn’t do what I wanna, still don't leave me though. Don't leave me Dr. Michelle. I'm like, I'm not going to leave. (I'm not going nowhere).  Dr. Berry: Do you find that, and especially because I'm thinking about the whole manage releasing stress, when clients come to you, do you find that they're holding in a lot of stuff that has to be like let out first before they can actually start like no prioritizing and you know, doing the steps and actions I need to actually be able to manage it? Do find a lot of people are holding onto stuff that they shouldn’t? Dr. Michelle Clay: Hecky yeah they are. But I'm releasing that is part of releasing the stress. A lot of times if I'm having a session with a client and they start crying, that's already started the process. So for a little science there are different types of tears. So we have some tears, for instance, where you get something in your eye and tears form because it's trying to cleanse that particle, that foreign agent out of your eyes. When you cry because you are emotional, you're experienced sadness or something like that. Then there's actually some of the stress hormones in those tears. So even with the crying to release, so like I said, it's a process. It's a process. You have to crawl before you walk and many things go hand in hand. It's not an either or. Then than this. When this, then this. Is hand in hand. (Okay). One thing that I find people are holding onto a lot is unforgiveness and anger. Dr. Berry: Is that okay when you run into these people who have this level of forgiveness for whatever reason, how do you kind of go about saying like, okay, educated and say like I know it's tough, I know it's hard but you're going to have to, you know, release this if you want to move on. Right? Like is that an easy conversation? And then part B is, and I always ask this cause I was asked, cause I feel like from a male standpoint where we always fall behind, do you find that most of your clients, women or men, do you find that men are receptive to this level of education we're in, because I feel like men have a lot of stress because they are masculine and we don't call it stress? Dr. Michelle Clay: That's correct. Okay. So let me go to a Part A of the question first. Let me go in order. So usually when I have a client and I'm talking to people, there's a wisdom that comes with age. So I have gray hair, but I cover it up there. Am I being transparent? But with that gray hair comes wisdom and wisdom is knowledge with experience and I couple that together to help people. Right? So there's just some things that you get like a sense about and you sense the type of personality that the person has and how they will receive things that you say. With some people I can just cut straight to the chase and say it, but other people have to be soft and Shinto and puts some onions and then they feel better about disclosing information. Now I'll give you an example. I had a particular client that was holding on to unforgiveness. And the person that they unforgiveness toward had already died, like years ago. This happens all the time, like years ago. So what I had her do was write a letter to this person and they expressing everything to them that they never had the courage or opportunity to say let out all the anger with that. And then if you really wanted that person to forgive you then just envisioned that once they read it they said, I'm sorry or I forgive you or please forgive me. And that really helped her release. It really, really did. So I have all kinds of tips and tricks and strategies up my sleeve. Dr. Berry: I love that. So they know they're like, oh yeah, we we're going to be ready for whatever ever problem you bring Dr. Michelle, she is ready for set problems. Dr. Michelle Clay: And if I don't have, if I'm not the right person or that's not my area of expertise, because there's some people they really need to go to a therapist. So I will refer them to a psychiatrist or therapist or somebody because anytime you're trying to heal is not a one man show or one woman show. You need a team. Now who was that that just won the championship? The Raptors. Did you see one person on the court? No, it was a whole team. And then sometimes what happens is you have to rotate. Some might has to sit on the bench and take a rest and put another player in. So that's the same concept for people who are really trying to take it to the next level with their health or wellness or reclaim the person that they used to be long ago but has been burdened down with stress and burnout and just life and health issues and this, that and the third. Now Part B of your question, most of my clients are women. That's just who I attract. I do have some man. I'm open to all because one thing that my godmother told me, she was like a natural healer was that you should have the ability from a natural standpoint. You should have the ability to help anybody but you're not supposed to help everybody. Translation, some people you are meant to connect with and some people you were not, but you still have the expertise and the skills to help anybody. Dr. Berry: I love it. Now for the men that you do have, do you find it to be harder? Do you find that your work's cut out for you? Or by the time they come to see you, whatever barriers that would have been there that made it difficult for him to open up have kind of been disintegrated, quote unquote? Dr. Michelle Clay: So it depends on the man. So for the men who already knew me, then by the time they come to me, they're ready and they're committed. For the men who didn't know me, let's say they did a Google search or something and they called and made an appointment and we started working together. Sometimes they have ulterior motives or they may be attracted to me. They don't call… bullying page. Like I have someone right now who is not my client, but I feel like he has an ulterior motive. So I just keep it professional. And if you're not serious, I'm not going to take you as a client because you a disservice. And I'm just honoring myself. Dr. Berry: I love it. I always find, it's funny because what you're saying definitely kinda hits home because there are a lot of my male patients who say that part of the reason why they can't go to, you know, women who are physicians, right? Or who are healers right, is because they feel like they can't open up, right? They're like, oh my God, I can't open up this person here. Right? The person gonna look at me different. All of a sudden, you know that meant. You know we're terrible, right? We get there. We just started questioning ourselves and saying like, Oh man, if I open up with her and this person, like the whole world's going to know, and I don't want to be quote unquote less of a man. And you know, it's definitely a struggle that even though I as a male physician, I see that. I can only imagine, what you guys go through. Dr. Michelle Clay: Well, let me speak to the men's directly. Gentlemen, please hear me. Please hear me. First of all, I want you to know that I'm gonna speak for the women regardless of what they say or do. We love you and we need you. And when you tap into your power and your strength to show your vulnerability, we actually view that as a power and a strength, not a weakness. So yes, I want to tell you that directly. Dr. Berry: I love it. I love it. Alright. We hype now. We’re ready. Go for it. We like it. Dr. Michelle, before, I didn't talk to your head off, right? But before I let you go, I always call this kind of like the period of promotion. Because I'm very fortunate enough to have, you know, guests who such amazing things that yes, they're physicians. Yes, they're in the health field, but like they do so much more. So obviously, you know, we've been talking and like, I want you to kind of tell people, what are some of the things that you do kind of outside, right? And most importantly, I want to talk about this RNR Experience, right? I want you to kind of, let's start there. And then we can talk about all of the books that you have because Lunch and Learn community, she's got plenty of products and we're going to get all of that. And trust me, depending on wherever you listen to that, I would make sure you have direct links to all of that as well. But let's talk about the RNR Experience. Let's talk about the why, what is it, how did it come to fruition? And you know, like who's it for? Dr. Michelle Clay: So the RNR Experience is a freelife because that's the name of my company. Freelife seven is a free life retreat and it occurs in the big easy New Orleans. So many people who are experiencing stress come to the big easy and be easy. And it occurs November 1st and second. So as a VIP registrants, then you will get two days as general registrant, you will only get the one day. But that one day is power packs. I'm gonna go into that in a minute. Your question, how did it come to fruition? Because people asked me for it. I'm gonna be honest with you. Putting on an event that you know will make a great impact on people and help transform their lives, not just for them, but for whoever else that they touch. So you want it to be quality, it has to be quality. You have to put forth and have the vision of being an excellence. You have to move in excellence. That's a huge undertaking. The only reason I'm doing this is because people would come up to me randomly and say, oh, Dr. Michelle, I'm going to come to your retreat.  Dr. Berry: Right like hey, I'm coming to your tree. I don't even know when it's scheduled, but I'm there. Dr. Michelle Clay: Yes. I hadn't said anything about a retreat, but they come telling me they're going to come to my retreat. And so if that's the case, then there must be a need. And so I'm giving you what you need. I'm giving you what you want. I'm giving you what you asked for. So what the RNR Experience, and it's not just a retreat, it's an experience. (Not just a retreat, it's an experience. I'll listen). Release and recharge. We've been talking about release this entire podcast about releasing stress, but once you release that, you need to recharge some things. And we are so caught up and focus on recharging our laptop, recharging our cell phone. But we do not recharge our bodies, our minds, our spirits. So we know what our purpose is and we can go forth and be brilliant. Dr. Berry: Oh, talk to them. Some of us won't leave the house if our phone wouldn’t charge. Talk to them, talk to them please.  Dr. Michelle Clay: Exactly. So for my VIP, our first day, I have a wonderful fun experience for you. And then later that evening will have culinary cures and coaching with Dr. Michelle, a private dining experience. Now the reason I call it culinary cures in coaching is because you are able to use certain food items, certain nutritional elements to help with your stress. And because I know that I have created certain herbal teas to help with that, so that's one of the products, but as a VIP we're going to have a specialty tea, T-teeny, incorporates all of that.  Then on the main day, a lot of my super friends are coming in to share with you. And we have Dr. Carol. She's going to be doing movement and meditation. She has a book Meditation in the Time of Madness. We have Dr. Sam, one of my super friends who's going to be coming in and talking to you about sleep. Remember I told you chronic stress can affect your sleep and she also, she knows some great trigger points to help with your stress and your sleep. Then we have Dr. Mia coming up who is the B3 specialist. She's going to be talking about your beauty, how you see yourself beautiful. How to maintain, achieve balance and your belief about yourself in the world around you. Then I also have a super friend who is an artist. She has her own gallery here and one of her pieces is actually in the national African American museum and she's going to be guiding us through an exercise that you can incorporate once you get home on how to use art and creativity to release the stress and recharge your creativity. Creativity is not just about art pieces, painting, drawings, sculptor, but about what you are creating in your life, the footprint that you leave on the world. Dr. Berry: Oh, that's an amazing day. Yes. Okay. You know what, this will, we're going to do. Let's do this. Let's do this for Dr. Michelle. Obviously with Lunch and Learn community and you know, amazing information as you gave today. Let's list this podcast. This podcast will sponsor a general membership or General Day, right? Whatever that general ticket is, right? I don't know how you, I'll let you decide how you want to give it away, but you give a ticket away on behalf of the Lunch and Learn community, on behalf of the Lunch and Learn podcast with Dr. Berry because I think people need to experience that, right? (Yhey!)  Because as I'm thinking, I'm trying to think the last time I left this house and didn't have my phone charged or last time I like I would skip sleep even if it was for a few seconds to make sure my phone was charged. But we're walking around on a daily basis, not recharging our mind, not recharging mental or spiritual and all of these things that really keep us going and we're not doing it. And I'd so I want to sponsor someone to, to get themselves recharged and getting themselves ready to take on, especially this last quarter of the year. Dr. Michelle Clay: Yhey! Thank you Dr. Berry. Thank you Lunch and Learn community. There is, I don't know who was going to go to, but I'm going to donate that ticket to a woman who, or man, we're going to see, because I love the men. They struggling. They really feel stuck and they do not have the means to get there on their own. That's who was going to go to. Dr. Berry: Let's do it. Let's do it. Now, so that's the RNR Experience, which is big. But honestly you've been in so much big things, even up until that, right when it comes to books and the teas and everything else, and just give them a laundry list of the stuff that you got right? Just so they know that Dr. Michelle ain't playing out here.  Dr. Michelle Clay: I am not playing in these streets. First of all. Well let me tell you this, RNR Experience. You can get your ticket at releaserechargeexperience.com and its Christmas in July. So you can get the early bird pricing in the month of July. But if you wait too long, they said you think long, you think wrong. So the price is going up.  Dr. Berry: So the price is going up. Y'all know y'all going to New Orleans anyways, right? Y'all gonna be there. It makes them get recharged. You just self-ready right and of course link we'll definitely be in the show notes to make sure you have a direct link to that. Dr. Michelle Clay: So the other things that are going on, I have my best selling book, Conquering the Chaos, The Super Wonder Woman's 12 Step Strategy for a Stress Free Life. I also have the companion journal with that, the Stress Release Journal. So in the book, in the 12 steps it goes through, we talked a little bit about it today. It goes through the 12th systems of the body, how they function, because I think that you need to empower people with information to activate their transformation. And then how stress affects that system in the body of culinary cure for that and mindset. Something for your mindset with that system, the stress Release Journal, the Companion Journal for that is a deeper dive into that. So you're reading and educating yourself in the conquering the chaos book, the now you need to get to work. Then I also have my stress free life, self-care kids. Oh my goodness. This thing right here just keeps exploding. So people, they want stuff. So in there there's a tea and this gonna be four different one per quarter. So one is going to be the release recharge box with the signature release, recharge herbal tea, which is specially formulated to give you a sense of calm and ease is how this is base. And then you also have the semi-precious stone bracelets, agate bracelets with lava beads on them and I'm mixed up a special essential oil aroma therapy oil to go on the braces. So anytime you know, you feeling some just instantly calm you down, just smell your wrist, just smell your wrist, and aroma therapy at the same time. And then I've also created the relaxation remedy, herbal bath. And you can put that, either do a full bath or just do a foot bath. I'm going to do a foot bath this evening. We also have the Free Life Candle because people love to smell things. (People love candles). Yes, the Free Life Candle.  And we also have shower steamers. These things are amazing. So have you ever heard of shower steamers? (Oh No. Wow.) Let me tell you about it. So the shower steamers, they're a little square made out of like baking soda and some other things infuse with certain essential oils so you can put it on the bottom of the tub while you're taking the shower and having aroma therapy experience. Because some people they like, girl, I haven't had time to take a bath, but you still need to have a moment for yourself. Self-care to stress less. You can have your me time create a me time moments in the shower. Dr. Berry: Oh, that's nice. Okay. I'll tell you Lunch and Learn community see doing it, that line. See, that's a problem. I love it. That's a good problem though. That's a good problem because again, we're trying to stress less, right? We're trying to find my free life like that. That's really the name of the game and that's again, that's why I love and respect everything that Dr. Michelle does because the amazing work that she puts in and the effort that she puts in shows you how much she cares. Right? And you know, we're running to, unfortunately there's, there's a lot of physicians who have infiltrated our system who don't really care as much. Right? And you know, so when you find someone who does, you try to make sure you amplify everything that they do so others can know like how amazing this person is. Dr. Michelle Clay: Thank you. Yes, this is definitely my purpose and I'm so very passionate about it because everything that I'm telling you, I've done all of that. My affirmations, every day I wear my bracelets, I'm sniffing all day, I use my shower, steamers, light my candle, meditate, pray. I do all of that. Dr. Berry: Practice what we preach, practicing what we preach. (Yes). Before I let you go, like I always ask this question like how can what you do empower others to take better control of their health? Because it's obvious, but you know, in case for some reason someone that skipped and miss all of this greatness and wanting to go towards the end, right? And this is all they listen to too, right? Like how is what you do empowering others to take medic control of their health? Dr. Michelle Clay: First about you have to know that you know that you know that you are worthy and you are deserving. It's not about being here for somebody else is about being here and showing up for you. And the goal is not to survive, but it is to thrive. Know that you are never stuck. As long as there is breath in your body, you can always decides to choose you and to do better so you'll have better and be better. So I want you to know that you're never stuck and also that you're never alone. Whether it's me, whether it's Dr. Berry, whether someone else that can help you get to the next level. If you don't have people around you that support you, honey, you can create another circle. (Yes). You can another create circle which you're never stuck. You are never stuck and you always deserve them. Dr. Berry: I love it. I can show before we let you go, but where can others find you? Again, all of these links, remember Lunch and Learn community, you know the drill. We'll have all these links in the show notes but I want to make sure that they can follow you. We lead and you know, be able to kind of just absorb this greatness that I'm able to absorb at a daily basis what I love to see. Dr. Michelle Clay: You can find me on all social media at Dr. Michelle Clay. My website is drmichelleclay.com and for the Lunch and Learn community, then I would love to offer you my special recipe for the stress free life smoothie and you can get that as stressfreesmoothie.com Dr. Berry: I love it. I love it and I appreciate it. Based on behalf of the Lunch and Learn community, we want to thank you, Dr. Michelle for just an amazing experience. Like I said, I say this like on a week to week basis, but like I'd be learning just as much as the Lunch and Learn community from my guests. Like I'm either like, if y'all can see my face, I'm glued in. Like, okay, got it. Got To lose this,, got to manage it. Cant be dealing with it, got to manage that. That's the goal. Changed the words. Words are powerful. That's the way to go. They don't wanna show you have a great, and again, like I said, remember we want to sponsor who, I don't know who you choose, who we're sponsoring. But we've got, we need to get someone to get that experience at the RNR Experience, Release and Recharge. When is it happening again? Let us know. Dr. Michelle Clay: It's November 2nd.

In this week's Hump Day Q'n'A I answer the question "what's the best method of periodisation".In the episode I discuss:- Why there is no "best" way but there is likely a "most suitable" way.- The 4 considerations to make when selecting a periodisation approach.- What my 3 Go-To approaches are and what their focus and structure is.- Who my 3 Got-To's are most suitable for and when to use them.

“You got to be a GET TO because GET TOs beat GOT TOs every single time.” “Do you GET TO go to school or do you GOT TO go to school? Do you WANT TO or do you HAVE TO?”

If you need some inspiration in your life you have GOT TO go out this weekend and support the opening of the documentary RBG which is about the honorable Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg (duh.) We had the pleasure of speaking with the directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen a couple of weeks back about their incredible film and incredible access to Justice Ginsberg, her family, and her notable friends and colleagues. Ruth Bader Ginsberg is a national treasure and we hope that you not only appreciate her gumption and fight but that her story is one of hard work and determination.

Caregiver Stewardship instead Obligation "I've Got To," "I need to," "I have to."  These are all statements made by all caregivers at some point, and, sadly, all too frequently.  The feeling of obligation drives us to push ourselves to dangerous stress levels for our health, finances, and emotional stability.  The way we can push back is to recognize that we don't own the problem.  We didn't cause it, and we can't fix it.  We are stewards.  Stewardship frees us to accept we are doing the best we can with what we have.  Feeling obligated can quickly takes us into resentment, which will only compromise our ability to live healthy lives and serve as healthy caregivers.  Adopting an attitude of stewardship, however, helps us breathe easier and treat ourselves with mercy—all of which equips us to be a better caregiver.
