Podcasts about heart mapping meaningful connection

In this insightful and inspiring episode, we take a deep dive into the emotional complexities that shape our experiences as medical professionals. Drawing wisdom from Brené Brown's Atlas of the Heart, we explore how paradox, irony, sarcasm, and cognitive dissonance influence both our interactions with patients and our own well-being. We unpack the definitions of these concepts, examine their roles in clinical practice, and discuss strategies for navigating these intricate emotional dynamics with compassion and awareness. From the challenges of aligning personal values with professional recommendations to the power of rethinking and unlearning, this episode is filled with thought-provoking insights and real-life examples. Key Takeaways: Understanding Cognitive Dissonance: The mental discomfort of holding conflicting beliefs is more common than we think. Recognizing and naming our feelings can help reduce their power. Aligning personal values with professional recommendations can prevent burnout and foster integrity. Practicing non-judgmental communication builds trust and deepens patient relationships. Embracing Paradox in Medicine: Paradox exists when contradictory elements coexist, such as balancing empathy with objectivity. The "both/and" approach (instead of "either/or") can lead to more nuanced and compassionate decision-making. Cultivating comfort with ambiguity and practicing reflective listening enhances patient care. Irony in Clinical Practice: The outcome of a situation may sometimes contradict expectations, offering powerful lessons in humility and awareness. Recognizing irony thoughtfully can provide insights while fostering resilience and understanding. The Role of Sarcasm: Sarcasm can be a tool for stress relief but also has the potential to alienate others. Using humor with intention ensures it strengthens rather than weakens connections. Prioritizing clear and empathetic communication fosters stronger relationships with both colleagues and patients. Resisting Comfort Over Courage: Growth happens in discomfort—choosing to align actions with values, even when difficult, leads to personal and professional fulfillment. Learning to rethink and unlearn beliefs that no longer serve us is a powerful tool for transformation. Compassion, both for ourselves and others, is essential in the ever-evolving world of medicine. Final Thoughts:This episode challenges us to lean into discomfort, reframe our perspectives, and embrace the complexities of human emotion with curiosity and courage. By fostering awareness, practicing self-compassion, and embracing paradox, we can become more resilient and empathetic physicians, colleagues, and caregivers. References Brown, B. (2021).

I breathe out all the bad stuff, squeeze it out of my lungs as if my lungs are a sponge. All the bad stuff like the grief, anger, frustration, and overwhelm. I try to remember to do it now when I'm awake in the middle of the night and something's bothering me. I try to inhale all the good stuff like joy, comfort, grace, and grit, if that's what's needed. I inhale determination, strength, and confidence. Then I breathe out again whatever bad stuff is there, like fear and insecurity. Get rid of it, get rid of it, get rid of it. Mindfulness To Succeed  You just have to take things one piece at a time. You need to break things down and say what needs to happen today. If that's going to happen today, what's going to happen before lunch. And if that's going to happen before lunch, what do I need to be doing right now. Pay attention to immediate details. A lot of fire fighting. Focus comes with the size of the fire, I guess.

In this episode, Tatiana dives into the dark side of diet culture – body shame. She explores how societal messages and even healthcare professionals can make us feel inadequate and unworthy because of our body size. But here's the truth: shame is not a motivator, and it doesn't lead to lasting health changes. Tatiana calls on the work of Brené Brown to explain why shame backfires, and explores the power of self-compassion as a path to a healthier body. Disclaimer: The information on this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice. Please consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your diet or exercise routine. Key Points: Body Shame is Everywhere: From airbrushed magazine covers to subtle comments from family, we're constantly bombarded with messages that equate thinness with beauty and value. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and a distorted body image. Shame Doesn't Work: Shame might make you feel bad about yourself, but it won't help you reach your health goals. Studies show that shame-based weight loss approaches have high recidivism rates. The Power of Self-Compassion: Brené Brown defines shame as saying "I am bad." Self-compassion, on the other hand, is about treating yourself with kindness and understanding, even when you make mistakes. The Three Elements of Self-Compassion: According to Kristen Neff, self-compassion consists of self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Self-kindness: Be gentle with yourself, you wouldn't talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself! Common humanity: Remind yourself that everyone struggles, and challenges around weight and body image are common. Mindfulness: Acknowledge your feelings without judgment. Don't get swept away by negativity. Call to Action: This week, practice self-compassion! When you have a setback, show yourself kindness. Remember, you are worthy of love and respect, no matter your size.

หนังสือ Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience ของ Brené Brown - ความหมายของชีวิตนั้น เราจะค้นพบมันได้อย่างไร ก็เนื่องด้วยประสบการณ์และเรื่องราวของเรา รวมไปถึงผู้คนรอบข้าง - ทุกอารมณ์ที่มันเข้ามายังจิตใจและชีวิตของเรา เราแค่ต้องน้อมรับและยอมรับมันเท่านั้นพอ เพราะการปฏิเสธอารมณ์ไม่มีทางทำได้จริง - เมื่อความอ่อนไหว และความเปราะบางเป็นเพียงแค่ส่วนหนึ่งของชีวิต เราต้องรู้ว่าจิตใจเรามันต้องมีสิ่งต่าง ๆ เป็นส่วนประกอบ - การสนทนากับบุคคลที่เราเชื่อมั่นว่าเขาจะมีชีวิตที่ดีขึ้นแน่นอน สิ่งนี้จะทำให้อนาคตของเราสดใสตามไป หาบุคคลที่เราพึ่งพาอาศัยได้บ้างจะทำให้ชีวิตดีขึ้น - ในวันที่เราเศร้าสลดใจมากที่สุด เราอาจจะต้องเตรียมตัวรับรู้เรื่องการต่อสู้กับจิตวิญญาณเอาไว้บ้าง เพราะการสู้รบที่แท้จริงมิใช่สิ่งภายนอกแต่เป็นภายในใจเรานี่เอง

The Book Leads - Episode 73: ⁠Kimberlee Pita⁠ & ⁠Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert⁠ The magic of who we are. That's what this book and conversation cover. In Episode 73, Kim, a Mental Wellness Coach and Founder of the Love Your Mental Health LLC, reflects on both her career and mental health journeys. A tool pivotal in Kim's wellness work is mindfulness -- taking stock of both what's around us and within us. She found Big Magic by chance, but it made -- and left -- a deep impression on her. For her, the book put to words how different we all are, how different our circumstances are, and how much we tend to not realize what we're capable of in our lives. There is so much we can unlock from deep within ourselves. We spend most of our lives and career looking for it (the "magic") on the outside and in our environments. Those experiences help, yes. But they merely unlock what's always been there. There really is magic inside all of us. It's that uniqueness we can bring to the world, something that is only ours, a culmination and result of ALL the experiences we've collected along our journey. If you don't want to call it magic because it sounds hokey, call it whatever you want. A gift, that something special, your driver, your passion, your reason for being -- whatever resonates for you. But society stops us from letting it (whatever you decided to call it just now) get through. We conform to the script of life, mute ourselves because of the attitude of others, fear that paralyzes us, and hold back on and give up on ourselves. We're through before we even get started. Check out this book even if you're not a traditional creative -- the singer, the musician, the painter, the sculptor, the photographer, the writer. Everyone is capable of creating in one form or another. Find what's yours. CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS We were all given something. We all have a beautiful gift inside of us. Once we can find our authentic, true self, then we can truly deliver our magic. You honor yourself through self-care.

When someone else sets boundaries, do you feel able to do the same, or do you resent their ability to say no? Often, our anger towards others' boundaries comes from our own unmet needs and desires, and what presents itself as resentment is actually envy.Guilt, shame, and fear often prevent us from expressing our own needs, which just compounds those negative emotions. Without shifting our mindset, we can end up adopting a victim mindset and feeling even more trapped.In this quick dip episode, Rachel describes how we can identify our underlying needs, find ways to express them, and take small, practical steps towards getting what we want, even if it feels unattainable.Listen to this episode toLearn how to navigate boundaries and handle feelings of resentment when others say no to you.Understand the difference between anger and envy, and how envy can reveal what you truly want.Pick up strategies for identifying your own needs, expressing them to others, and finding ways to meet them.Episode highlights[00:02:12] Envy[00:05:47] What is your underlying need?[00:06:43] What happens when we make ourselves the victim[00:07:55] Questions to ask yourself[00:08:54] What is stopping you from meeting your needs?[00:10:01] If you could wave a magic wand[00:11:40] Expressing your needs to othersResourcesTHRIVE Weekly PlannerWhy Can't I Say No – Episode 163How to Use Power Language to Keep Your Boundaries Strong – Episode 179How to Say No and Deal with Pushback – Episode 125, with Annie HanekomAtlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience, by Brené BrownDownload the episode's workbook and CPD form.

We all get stressed or overwhelmed with our daily responsibilities from time to time. But we're not always good at telling them apart. And this is important, because the way out of overwhelm is different form the way out of stress.Stress is caused when the demands on us outweigh the resources we feel we have to cope. Overwhelm happens when high amounts of stress make us feel like we can't cope with our lives' demands. The way out of overwhelm is non-doing, resting, and letting our nervous system settle down.Prolonged stress and overwhelm can lead to burnout, which just puts more stress on our nervous system, and makes it harder for us to function. In this quick dip, Rachel offers practical advice to help you take care of yourself, recognise overwhelm, and give yourself the time you need to rest.Listen to this episodeTo learn the difference between stress and overwhelmTo discover the benefits of non-doing and how it can help you overcome overwhelmFor practical tips on reducing overwhelm in the futureEpisode highlights[00:03:19] Mindful play[00:05:03] The F**k it mindset[00:06:58] What will future me thank me for?

In this episode I unpack the emotion of anger as an emotion that we inevitably will feel and could be on the other end of the manifestation of this emotion.I speak to value that comes from being in awareness of this emotion, because this emotion can create an incredible amount of energy, energy that if is not harnessed can lead us to regret our actions from this emotion.  I also speak to the importance of having self-care when we are on the other side of this emotion understanding that we have the fundamental right to be whole and we are worthy of love and compassion. And the understanding that we can afford ourselves grace throughout the processing of this emotion. And I leave you with the ultimate Maester's words when it comes to emotions, Brene Brown, from her book Atlas of the Heart:“Anger is a catalyst. It's an emotion that we need to transform into something life-giving: courage, love, change, compassion and justice.” (Brown, Brené. 2021. Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience. New York, Random House.)Let's go, let's get it done. Get more information at: http://projectweightloss.org

On this week's episode I acknowledge the intense pain Black Americans have endured for centuries, as we continue to honor Black History Month. And although tremendous progress has been made, the institutional racism in this country is pervasive, persistent and very painful. I feel it is my responsibility and the responsibility of White Americans to not only admit to this troubling history of pain, but to look this pain in the eye. So many of the deaths of young Black people that have occurred in the past few months, are so layered in trauma. The vicious combination of tragic, shocking violence is infused in these racially horrific deaths. I am thinking of the pain and suffering for those beaten, tortured and murdered as well as the unspeakable suffering for their surviving loved ones. And I say to myself: Don't look away. Don't look down. Don't pretend not to see hurt. Look people in the eye. Even when their pain is overwhelming. May we have the courage to look pain in the eye, to show up with compassion and humility and tenderly hold one another. Enjoy the podcast!

If you've ever felt envious towards another person, this episode is for you. This week I'll help you see where your envy may have turned into being a full-blown hater and how to get out of it. When criticism turns to hate it can become envy. There are different types of envy, but the hater envy is usually a form of comparison and comes from a place of lack. I'm going to talk you through this with a recent example in my life, so we can all live in abundance and not from a place of lack.  Episode Highlights:  [01:17] None of us probably want to admit it, but we all get envious or jealous at some point or another. [01:48] Envy occurs when we want something that another person has. Jealousy is when we fear losing a relationship or a valued part of a relationship that we already have. [02:16] Today we're going to talk about how Envy can lead to you being a full-on-hater. A hater is a negative or critical person. [03:03] We're supercritical and form opinions about people without very much information. [06:09] An example of how I went from questioning to being critical to hater envy.  [08:00] Envy only comes when we're in comparison.  [08:32] There are different types of envy like attractiveness envy, confidence envy, or wealth envy.  [09:10] Envy can be hostile, or it can lean more towards admiration.  [10:00] Notice where you think that someone having something precludes you from having that also. This would be having a scarcity mindset.  [13:50] How do you get yourself out of hater envy?  [13:57] When you feel envious, remember that you don't know the background or have the full story. Putting your focus on why someone has something that you don't is a waste of time, especially if you don't know their struggles. [14:47] What I want is my own version of showing up in the world and adding value. I want to test the limits of what is possible for me in my life. [15:02] Don't beat yourself up if you find yourself in hater envy. When you stop focusing on the injustice of it all, you can tap into what is possible for you. [15:37] Take inspiration from what others have achieved.

A lot of us are going through major transitions right now: moving to new locations, changing jobs or relationship status, having kids, or going through losses or health challenges. Many of us are shifting into a new phase in our lives or re-evaluating our priorities due to the pandemic. The bittersweet nature of many of these transitions has been on our minds lately for a variety of reasons. Melia and her family just moved from Jackson, MS to the Albany, NY area, away from many people and places they love. We recorded this episode together in person at our childhood home in Sonoma, CA, before our parents put the house on the market and move closer to us both. We draw upon Susan Cain's beautiful book, Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole, as we cope with feelings of grief for what's ending mixed with anticipation for what's ahead. We share how we are embracing the bittersweet and, as always, feel it all. When do you tend to feel bittersweet? What are some ways that embracing bittersweetness helps you through transitions?

What You'll Learn From This Episode:Today Madeline and Cynthia explore that dreadful word, ”should”. Taking a look at how this plays out in our lives.The “should” is likely generated by the mind in its rational wisdom. The underlying feelings are held by the body. How often do we ignore or completely dismiss them and do what we “should”?Each time we do that, we tell our Self that we're not important (or at least not as important as the thing we “should” do). Each time we disconnect a little more from our authentic Self. We give away our authentic power.In today's conversation, we explore the meaning behind "should" and discover what we CAN leave behind. What we discussed:(01:06) Introduction: That word that pops up this time of year(03:01) The RAIN Technique(05:45) Letting your thoughts come and go(07:42) The job of emotions(08:48) Internal vs. external pressure(14:24) Who is in the driver's seat?(16:20) "Should" as a motivator(18:41) Stories we tell ourselves(20:41) Putting things through the internal filter(22:31) Bringing it all together(24:22) Ending with a quote(25:06) Closing notesFor further reading and tools: Tools and resources we discussed in the episode:- The RAIN Technique by Tara Brach- Emotions as information - which is not always accurate!- Letting thoughts come and go, but not inviting for teaMore resources to explore this topic:Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know by Grant, AdamSelf-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Neff, Kristin, Ph.D.Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience by Brené Brown RAIN Technique by Tara BrachBrene Brown (Rising Strong)When you find that you're having a line of thoughts that may or may not be true and you want to confront this in an unaggressive kind way, do the following: Take a deep breath and find 10 seconds of kindness. Say “The story I'm telling myself…” and finish with a worry or a fear. Then, say nothing. And have a (hopefully productive) dialogue with yourself.

Whitney Johnson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Disruption Advisors, a talent development company. Whitney is a globally-recognized thought leader. author, keynote speaker, executive coach, consultant, and a popular LinkedIn Learning instructor. In this conversation, Whitney discusses how musicality has lessons for the business world, and the wide applications of the S-Curve. https://bit.ly/TLP-328   Key Takeaways [2:35] At her daughter's prompting during the pandemic, Whitney and her family started watching Korean dramas. The family became obsessed with them. Whitney now studies Korean for two minutes a day on Duolingo. Whitney describes the characteristics of Korean dramas. [5:22] Whitney majored in music, studying classical piano and jazz. Because of her musical background, when she structures a keynote, a book, or a podcast, she looks for musicality and a musical structure to it. Musical structure and musicality inform the work she does. Also, as an experienced accompanist, she knows how to be second, allowing her to be a good interviewer, and as a coach, to listen well. [7:04] Brett Mitchell, the former conductor of the Colorado Symphony, said that music is what happens between the notes. Whitney discusses pauses relating to leadership and cites Clayton Christiansen, saying that partway through his career, Clayton Christiansen started a practice of praying before teaching a class. Once he started that practice, he started to have a significant impact on his students. [8:42] Whitney suggests that before you speak, have a meeting, or a coaching session, you pause and think about the person you're about to speak to, and how to convey to the person that they matter to you, that is an element of leadership. [10:33] Wayne Muller, author of Sabbath, pointed out the pauses in Martin Luther King's exclamation, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!” [11:41] Gino Wickman, in The EOS Life, recommends entrepreneurs take sabbaticals. One of Jim's clients just took a sabbatical and reported that stepping back and taking a break allowed them to reflect and then grow. [12:20] Whitney has a LinkedIn Learning class, Grow Yourself, Grow Your Leaders, and a book, Smart Growth. Whitney's view is that we are wired to grow. Virtuous growth is growing in such a way that everyone around you grows as well. She believes that human growth is unbounded. [13:23] Sociologist Everett Rogers applied the S-Curve to the study of how quickly innovation is adopted. Working with Clayton Christiansen, Whitney realized she could apply the S-Curve to individual change and growth. Growth comes in three stages: slow (launch), fast (sweet spot), and slow (master place). Every time you start a new role or a new job, you go through the curve. This is covered in Smart Growth. [14:45] Whitney's LinkedIn course focuses on how to create the conditions where people around you can grow, with the resources they need, and how they can feel connected to what they're doing and the people they're working with. Whitney also talks about building resilience and nurturing people. If you can do all those things, you're creating conditions wherein the people around you can grow. [16:59] Whitney makes the underlying assumption that if you will grow yourself then, by the contagion effect, the people around you will grow. Then, by default, your business will grow. [17:49] You can manage your organization as a portfolio of curves. The people at the curve's launch point will need the most support. They will also have a fresh perspective, opening the door to innovation. You want about 20% of the people in your organization to be new, 60% to be in the sweet spot, and 20% in master, ready for a new challenge. This is a good distribution for innovation. [20:10] De-prioritize the things you do really well that somebody else could do. Whitney gives an example from a client. If you stop doing the things you should delegate to others, you will have time to do the things only you can do, and you get out of the way for them to work on the steep part of the S-Curve. [23:06] Every organization needs to have, as part of their vision, growing human beings and helping them reach their potential. The vision starts with the founders, and as people join the organization, they begin to co-create the vision with the founders. Everyone helps each other grow. In the most fluid, powerful organizations, everyone contributes to the creation of the vision. [26:56] Whitney addresses growth pre-pandemic, in-pandemic, and post-pandemic. A lot of adaptation and resilience have been required. When people are under stress, they go to default stress behaviors. You need to make sure people work together and not against each other. People want to grow but are not always sure how to do it. This goes back to Whitney's course, Grow Yourself, Grow Your Leaders. [28:39] Whitney asks Jan and Jim for their thoughts on getting people to work together under stress. Jim states that when people are stressed they need time and space to solve their problems. People are pausing to figure out how to work together. People need time and space to get up to game speed. Executives are not paid to be busy. Pausing is a good way to grow by asking yourself tough questions. [31:35] Whitney has an assessment that she administers to clients. It includes seven accelerants of growth. The one that ranks the lowest is frequently “Step back to grow.” People are not taking time to pause and reflect. Whitney quotes Tiffany Shlain who asks, “What if we thought of ‘rest' as technology because the promise of technology is to make you more productive?” [34:17] Egon Zehnder surveyed 1,000 executives whether they strongly agreed that to transform your organization you need to transform yourself. Before the pandemic, 18% of executives agreed. After the pandemic, 805 of the executives agreed. The only way you have the moral authority to ask people to change is if you, yourself, are changing. The fundamental unit of change is the individual at every level. [37:52] Whitney lists some people that inspire her, and why: Rashika Tolshan, who wrote about the Queen of England passing away, Brené Brown, Musician Jacob Collier, author Richie Norton, and NFL QB Steve Young. Each of them inspired Whitney with their visions of growth. [41:35] When Whitney was making her list of influential people, her default was to go to all men. She had to make sure she included some women. She had to be very mindful and deliberate to determine who is actually influencing her and she wanted a diversity of perspectives. Jim highlights the leadership lesson of intentionality. [42:49] Whitney's audience homework: On the topic of pausing and resting, listen to these two episodes of Whitney's Step Back to Grow podcast: Episode 139 with filmmaker Tiffany Schlain and Episode 180. Don't avoid taking a pause to rest. [43:57] Closing quote: Remember, “It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.” — Queen Elizabeth II   Quotable Quotes “Because of being a musician, I think of things in a musical sort of way. When I'm structuring a keynote; … a book; … a podcast, there's always a sense of, ‘Is there a musicality to it; is there a musical structure to it?'” — Whitney “I wrote a piece about the importance of taking a break, that you needed to rest because the ability to rest was going to allow you to recharge so that you could then move forward.” — Whitney “For me, growth is our default setting. We're wired to grow.” — Whitney “Every time we start something new, we're on a new S-Curve. There are three stages. There's the launch point that feels slow, there's the sweet spot, … where growth is fast, … and … the master place, where growth is … slow.” — Whitney “People who are successful are intentional. It doesn't just fall in your lap. … Successful people are intentional people and [a high] level intentionality is something to be admired and something for people listening to this podcast to take away.” — Jim   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Rafti Advisors.

Mike Robbins was twenty-five years old when he was injured playing in the Minor Leagues, an injury that ended his dream of making it to the Majors. He'd been playing since he was eight years old, eventually playing at Stanford University. The loss of Mike's dream was devastating, but, step by step, he found his way to the work he does now as a speaker, consultant, coach, and author. He learned early how to prepare for the game of life. Listen in as Mike shares his hard-earned life wisdom with humility, vulnerability, and candidness. Mike heard about the Process many years ago, but it wasn't until he experienced a great amount of loss and pain in a compressed period of time that he came to the Process in 2016. He lost both his mother and sister to cancer and realized that the Process was exactly what he needed to address his grief and the family of origin healing he was looking for. Through beautiful, generous storytelling, Mike shares stories of great loss in his life while speaking to the power of many aspects of the Process. He talks about the importance of having places of safety in which to do this kind of healing work so that can feel safe telling the truth about ourselves and our lives. He considers how to care for all aspects of his Quadrinity and speaks to the nature of growth and being human. Mike hasn't pitched in a game for twenty-five years, but he still, to this day, considers himself an athlete. Through this lens, he considers what he needs to do to prepare to be in this game of life. More about Mike Robbins: Mike Robbins is the author of five books, including Nothing Changes Until You Do, and his latest, We're All in This Together.  He's a sought-after speaker who delivers keynotes and seminars all over the world.  Some of his clients include Google, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Gap, Schwab, eBay, the NBA, the Oakland A's, and many others.  Mike and his work have been featured in the New York Times and Harvard Business Review, as well as on NPR and ABC News.  He's a regular contributor to Forbes.

So if we look at our thoughts more as a busy airport, and we're taking the ones and sitting in the plane, if you will, of the ones that we're choosing, and then we're on the flight, we're actually feeling something about it, we have power over that choice, right. I know emotions can get carried away super quickly. I've definitely experienced that today. But understanding that I am choosing to have this, and I have a lot more control than I ever thought I did before has been very empowering. Because you can step out of the emotion then, and look at it from a third-party point of view, instead of just being in it and having them rule you. And then your behavior, if you're sitting just inside of the emotion, is all over the place. So Thoughts on Breathing I think breathing is so important. I like to do this square breathing. That's the way that helps me, it has a visual with it. So I'm a very visual person, a visual learner. So if I can, breathe in the top out and then in and out and just keep going around the square, it gives me something to focus on in my head. And you can always find usually always find a square around you somewhere. So So I do a lot of square breathing. It's also being able to cleanse your brain because thinking about when you're watching a movie or a suspenseful part or something like that. So many times I find myself not breathing. That's a good clue right there that when I'm stressed when my emotions are high, I'm actually not breathing. So And so when everything gets calm, you're like, Oh, thank goodness. Right. And so that's a natural cue to me that if I want to be in a state of calm, then I should breathe as though I am calm.  So Suggested Resources Book: Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience By Brene Brown Book: The 12-Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months By Brian Moran App: Hormonology Menstrual Cycle Tracker Bullying Story I've been on the side of bullying. I was never popular. I went to middle school with perm bangs and straight hair. I believe I was in seventh grade which is a hard time for everybody. build peace into parenting So there was a boy, I really, really liked him and he was part of the popular crowd. And so the word got around that I liked him. And he so he wrote me a note. And he said, meet me by your locker at such and such a time. And I really, I really want to talk to you and had a heart on it. So I primped my permed bangs and went all there and stood at the locker. And at that point, there was a crowd. I mean, this was like an after-school special-type story. But anyway, he came up. And he just said, “Did you really think that I would like you, of course, I don't, and walked away.” And then everyone was just laughing and, of course, I was crushed. I was so embarrassed. And then I had to go to school with these people for the next seven years. That was always such a gleaming story in my head. I had to keep going to class, I had to keep going to school, I had to keep saying hello to these people and not be rude. Funny enough, we're Facebook friends today, you only behave out of what you know. build peace into parenting Related Episodes Debbie Cundy Owen: Skilled Life Coach Resolves Family Conflicts and Stress Connect With Family Through Mindfulness, Says Orlando Magic Cameraman, Clem Harrod Three Keys To Juggling Work and Family; Connie Benjamin Special Offer Are you experiencing anxiety & stress?

You have one.    I have one too. As a matter a fact, we all do.    We all create narratives of our lives through stories. It's what gives our life meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.    But    It's also where we get our unconscious habits, unwanted patterns, and misguided behaviors. And the only way to change it is to first become aware of it. But to become aware of it, we must first figure out where it originated.    Tune in as our featured speaker Dr. Brené Brown gives you the deets about how to change once we figure out our story.   Source: Session 2 Of--- The Power of Vulnerability Teachings of Authenticity, Connection, and Courage   Website: https://brenebrown.com   Instagram: brenebrown   Twitter: Brené Brown @BreneBrown   Most Recent Book: Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience   Previous Episodes:   212 | Brené Brown: "Show up And Let Yourself Be Seen."   173 | Brené Brown: "In The Absence Of Love And Belonging, There Is Always Suffering."   140 | Brené Brown: "Blame Is Simply The Discharging Of..."   070 | Brené Brown: "Shame Is The Gremlin Who Says, 'You're Not Good Enough'."   057 | Brene Brown: "I Trust You OR I Don't Trust You."   033 | Brene Brown: "When We Stop Caring What People Think, We Lose Our Capacity For Connection, When We Become Defined By What People Think, We Lose Our Capacity To Be Vulnerable."   Hosted by Malikee Josephs (Pronounced Muh leek Jo seffs)   Follow The Show On Instagram @DepressionDetoxShow.

Do you suffering from Witzelsucht (an obsession with groan-worthy puns and jokes)? Preschool teacher Mosa Maxwell-Smith tingles with glee when people roll their eyes at her puns, wondering how she might extend that thrill to the bedroom. Driven by loneliness, she bravely attends a live /Augmented reality sex party and meets Van, a thoughtful, compassionate person who helps her explore new territory: flogging, their shared organizational kink, paronomasia-related memes and Mosa's burgeoning boundaries. #SelfCareIsSoxy #VirtualWorld #Kinkshamed #Brattiness #BestFriendsDay   Song: ‘Fever Dream' (mxmtoon) About the Storyteller:   When Mosa Maxwell-Smith first discovered storytelling she craved it so much that she started hosting story parties with friends in her living room.  That was 2011, before the Moth was even in the Bay Area. She is elated by the explosion of storytelling as an art form and connector of humans over the last decade, and has been privileged to perform regularly at a variety of venues, including Story Slam Oakland, the Mill Valley Library, and (always a favorite) Bawdy. She also tells stories on a daily basis in her role as a preschool teacher (though the content is usually slightly different and the audiences smaller). Mosa is a devotee of connection and serendipity and is grateful to Dixie De La Tour for bringing more of both to her life through the gift of Bawdy. She is always delighted to be out past bedtime on a school night, telling stories to someone other than her cats.     Episode links:   https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pun: The pun, also known as paronomasia, is a form of wordplay that involves exploiting the ambiguous meanings of words, typically of homophonic (similar sounding), homographic (identically spelled), metonymic (same meaning) or otherwise figurative nature, for humorous or rhetorical effect.   Are you interested in helping me build a Bawdy Book Club?
