We're going  back to back this week with Gina Lichte,  the Executive Director of Girls on the Run Kansas City. This interview takes a deeper look into what Girls on the Run is/stands for and what they're accomplishing all through out Kansas City for the future women leaders of America.     Girls on the Run of Greater Kansas City is a non-profit organization that serves 4,500 girls a year in the Kansas City area. Their mission is to inspire  girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun experienced based curriculum which creatively integrates running.   In this program GOTRKC teaches girls skills about themselves.  How to be confident, how to be a better friend with others, and how to use their voice.It Also teaches them how to be a better global citizen by teaching them how to give back to the community and be accountable all the while learning through running and actives.          Mentioned in the Podcast:   

How can we BREAK BAD HABITS using mindfulness? Last time, episode 1 in this series, I defined mindfulness and applied it to reducing anxiety and stress.   Again, mindfulness is the awareness of the present moment from a place of curiosity.  Instead of being judgmental, we become more objective...more curious...and even compassionate with whatever it is we find, even stuff we don’t like. One of the many reasons people come into my office for counseling, is because they’ve tried to break a bad habit or pattern on their own, and despite their best efforts, they’re still hooked: This may be a destructive relationship pattern (like always chasing after the unavailable person or finding yourself in one-sided relationships), Or it could be difficulty managing your alcohol or drug use to the point where it becomes self-destructive, despite your best efforts. It ALSO may be yoyo dieting or yoyo exercising...vacillating between two opposite extremes and having an unhealthy relationship with food or exercise.   EXAMPLE:  Yoyo Dieting I’m gonna use the example of yoyo dieting, wanting to lose or gain weight, as it’s something most of us can relate to at one time or another in our lives.  There’s so much societal pressure to lose/gain weight, get fit, have ripped abs or some other body ideal. It’s challenging to have a good body image in this day and age. It’s very easy to go drastic, and in ways that are not so healthy.  We may find ourselves in a habitual pattern of searching for the next best diet regime, doing it for a period of time, losing dramatic weight but then finding ourselves unable to sustain it...because ultimately it’s probably not very healthy for our bodies and our mind in the first place. A natural byproduct of being too rigid, too perfectionistic or too limiting with anything — let alone our food intake — is that we often swing to the opposite extreme and then feel completely out-of-control. So...what’s the antidote to yoyo dieting?  Using the tool of mindfulness, we can get to know our self-destructive habits, where they come from, and learn to be kinder and more compassionate with ourselves, like we would a best friend. So let me take you through what this might look like. Outer Circle:  Mindfulness of External Messages   Imagine for a moment, circles within a circle, and the outer circle being our external environment while the inner circle represents our inner life.  When it comes to yoyo dieting, I find it useful to start from the outer external environment. I have a helpful graphic about this, so check it out at www.livingmorefully.com/mindfulness/ along with the show notes for this episode. Look at Past Influences: While mindfulness is rooted in the present moment, it’s sometimes helpful to look at our past in order to better understand where our current thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviors around dieting come from.  This isn’t about getting stuck in past resentments or regrets but rather about having a deeper awareness of how we got here. This can help us have a greater felt sense of choice IN THE PRESENT MOMENT. From a place of mindfulness, ask yourself some questions: Why do you believe you should lose/gain weight?   What messages did you receive about your body’s weight, shape or size growing up?   What messages did you hear from your family of origin, peers, the media and society at large? What actual experiences have you had where you started to believe that a certain body shape/size would get you more attention, love or validation?   Did you get teased for not being society's ideal weight?   Did you get shamed by a medical provider? How often have you heard or told fat jokes? Let’s recognize that the US weight loss market, at the time of this recording, is now worth 66 billion dollars….a record number, so we see dieting fads marketed ALL the time. Instead of just analyzing these things from an intellectual perspective, using mindfulness allows us to connect the dots from our past experiences to how we formed our current beliefs.   Look at Current Influences: Also, mindfulness allows us to pay attention to how our current environment impacts our yoyo dieting and poor body image. From a place of mindfulness, ask yourself some questions about your current environment: What magazines, TV shows and other media do you currently consume? What social media accounts do you follow and how do they impact you? How does your behavior on dating or hookup apps influence your body image? What messages do you hear currently about dieting from friends, family and co-workers?   Take some time to notice how you digest images, and what assumptions you make about people or yourself based on these images.  This leads us to the inner circles of influence. Inner Circles:  Mindfulness of Internal Messages Next, it’s helpful to be mindful of our internal landscape.  Being mindful, we take ourselves off auto-pilot, and notice what’s going on inside, using our physical sensations as a guide.  If our thoughts/beliefs influence our feelings influence our behaviors (like yoyo dieting), then let’s start with our thoughts. Thoughts/Beliefs: Having just acknowledge all of the diet/body-related memories, external messages and how they’ve formed our self-limiting beliefs what happens in your physical body?  Notice the areas of tension/contraction, maybe numbness or disconnection, whatever is there, just allow it to be for right now. What happens inside when you compare yourself to someone else, and judge yourself or others accordingly? If you observe a belief that you can only be worthy, loved or noticed if you look a certain way, notice how this shows up in your body.  Is there any jitteriness, paralysis or jumping-out-of-your-body like sensations that manifests in your body? Maybe shallow breathing or holding tension in your digestive area? Again, it’s important to watch this things with curiosity and without judgment. Feelings: Next, notice any associated feelings.  Do you feel fear, hurt, anger, apprehension, desperation or anything else as it relates to yoyo dieting or your body image?  Observe these feelings without having to DO anything about them just yet. First we need to know what’s going on before we can treat them. Behaviors: Give yourself some time to recognize your behaviors too.  What are your patterns with yoyo dieting? How long do you sustain certain diets and what percentage of the time are you in alignment with your goals?  Again, this is simple taking a measurement of where you’re currently at and your typical patterns, not analyzing things from a place of judgment. So if you start judging yourself, notice that from a greater place of neutrality.  Compassion/Care Toward Your Body: The third step to working with yoyo dieting is to be compassionate and caring of your body, soul and mind.  Whatever you discover, hold it with curiosity and kindness. When we’re compassionate with ourselves, we can take responsibility for how we’ve treated ourselves and others and do it differently.  When we beat ourselves up, we’re more likely to repeat vicious cycles of abuse. Feed your body, mind and soul from a place of love and kindness.  Notice when your body is hungry AND when it’s full. Eating slow enough and mindfully we can reorient the body to these cues. Instead of labeling certain foods good or bad, notice how each kind of food can have a different impact on your body and adjust accordingly, from a place of care not dogma.  Give yourself time to develop a taste for foods that have a higher nutrient value, usually foods that have a more direct relationship with the sun, the source of energy. This isn’t about being perfect, whatever that means for nutrition, just making sure you’re getting enough whole foods to help your body function well, heal, and have a good immune response. Compassion in this area is about having good enough nutrition, exercise and sleep - to have a holistic perspective of what your body needs, not a number on a scale or a certain shape/size. The 3 step process is: Be mindful of external messages Be mindful of internal messages and where they come from Be compassionate and caring of your body, soul and mind

Darkness and horror stories from Carl then some encouragement I know you need. Finally two fantastic comics you will want to check out.  Let’s get started and nerd it up.  ----more---- Links in the episode: Art of Lee Bokma MEGA podcast That One Time I was abducted by Aliens  Nation of Nerds podcast. Covertnerd.net   As full disclosure, certain products and links to products on this site are affiliate links, and I will earn a commission for any purchases you make. There is no additional cost to you.      We continue diving into local creators by looking at two books by Carl D Smith The Darkness Out of Carthage and L is for Loon.   But first I want to comment on the advantages self-publishing has brought to creators. They now have the advantage of putting out the content they want with zero changes by an editor or publisher.  The barrier of entry for creators is low with the age of self-publishing.  As a writer you can put together your book and publish it much faster and easier than a writer could have only 15 years ago.  I remember talking with someone about how easy it is now versus 20 years ago.  He said now anyone can publish a book, as if that was a bad thing. I get what he’s saying to some extent. He’s saying almost anyone can publish book makes achievement less significant.  I don’t necessarily agree, after all it still takes a lot of work to complete a book and still more to have the guts to put it out for the world to see and criticize. My hats off to anyone who has decided to publish their work, whether it’s books, comics, art music.  No matter what anyone says you are still among the elite If you’re looking for an historical fiction book then The Darkness Out of Carthage is a gem of a story. Carl does a fantastic job mixing Roman history during the Punic Wars with HP Lovecraft style horror. He comes up with a story that will keep you turning the pages.  You can tell Carl has done his homework in describing the soldiers uniforms, weapons, terrain and names of locations.  Carl keeps the reader guessing whether the narrator (Roman soldier) is delusional or if it’s all real. A contrast to this story maybe Carl would consider would be the same story from the perspective of a soldier of Carthage. The book is well paced jumping from present to the near past enough to keep the reader from getting to set on one timeline. This was a good move on Carls part. It Also gives the reader the opportunity to find out more about the main characters origins.  It’s a fast read, even for me who reads at a snail’s pace. Carl is meticulously detailed when he describes his surroundings here’s what I mean “Gloom clung to the streets between the gutted building. The entire city was drowned in obsidian fog. To breathe was to choke on hot ash.” When you read those few sentences you can picture the broken buildings and almost start coughing from the ash as you read the words. The whole story has the HP Lovecraft vibe, but also a bit Conan flavor too with some of the combat scenes the main character gets involved with. Some of the sorcery versus sword add to the Conan feel to it as well. If you like this type of genre then you won’t be disappointed. I hope he does some sort of sequel/prequel that takes place in the same time. If you haven’t read it I suggest you do you won’t be disappointed, plus it would help Carl out financially and boost his moral too. His other book I read is L is for Loon. It has one main story, but mixed in is a collection of short horror stories as well. I like how he uses local locations for a few of his stories and even mentions Eisner award winning Legends Comics and Coffee as a scene for one of his stories. In that particular story it wasn’t the typical gory way people die like most horror stories.  It was the uncanny feeling the antagonist made his victims feel when he would torture them in a way that would hurt each victim.  It was like the move seven where the way he killed his victim mirrored their personality.  It’s hard not to spoil it without having gone too far so I will just say when your read what he does to each victim you will feel uncomfortable, but not grossed out. The description of each event is done in such a vivid way you almost felt like the victim yourself. It’s a short read at 118 pages, but the stories are vivid and entertaining.  I am not big horror fan, but this one was a good read. At the end of each story you will get a twist you were not expecting. Two great books by one great writer. I will put a link to his books in the show notes. One thing I want to mention again and for those of you who listen regularly you will be thinking to yourselves.  Here he goes again.  Just start that book you have been thinking about starting, or that comic book you have been “working” on to 5 years, but it’s not perfect enough to be released. Or that song you have redone for the 100th time. You are never going to get to issue 100 until you release issue number 1.  You are never going to get your 1,000th download until you get your first download.  You are never going to sell you 100th book until you sell the 1st. Carl is a regular guy, just like you.  He has a job that sometimes he hates. He has a wife that he sometimes gets into arguments with, a school loan payment that seems like it will never end, kids that sometimes get sick. Maybe all of those don’t apply to you, but the point he’s a normal guy now (albeit talented) guy who decided to start. I guarantee you if you asked him about the stuff he wrote 15 years ago he would say most of it is awful.  However he kept at it, got feedback from others people then published it. I went back and listened to my intro episode, YUCK! The sound was hideous, I had a bunch of echo and intake of breath.  Now my sound is a little bit better and I know more than I did then about podcasting. Progression is slow, but I started the process and who knows maybe in 5 years I’ll have a mediocre podcast. There’s a young artist I saw at one of the first Fridays at Behind the Glass. For those of you who don’t know what a First Friday is, it’s an event at Behind the glass where local artists can bring their projects to sell. There is no cost to the artists all Nate asks is they pay 10% of their sales to him.  There are other event like cosplay and drawings. You can use the hashtag #firstfriday on Twitter to see what I am talking about.  Anyway she was asked by one of the other artists who was selling when she was going to sell her stuff.  She was hesitant and said I don’t think I am good enough yet. However a few months later I saw in a Facebook post she was selling her stuff at Behind the Glass first Friday. She stepped out and hasn’t missed a first Friday since. We all need encouragement because sometimes this world kicks us in the teeth.  Remember some people rain on your parade because they don’t have a parade of their own to rain on. I want to be that encouragement to you. You are most likely better than you think you are, but you won’t know until you start. You can do it, go out and start whatever it is you have been putting off.  Let me know what it is and I will do what I can to help.  Email me with a message or record a message and email it to me. Go to covertnerd.net to find all the ways you can reach me.   The Long Con by Oni This one is a fun book to read playing off of the insanity that are cons here’s the solicit Five years ago, a cataclysmic event obliterated everything within a fifty mile radius of the Los Spinoza Convention Center — including the attendees of Long Con, the world's biggest (and longest) comic convention. But unknown to the outside world, the con-goers not only survived, they kept the convention going. When proof of their survival surfaces, reporter Victor Lai is sent to investigate. After all, he was covering the con that fateful day, and escaped mere minutes before everything went kablooie... abandoning his nerdy pal Dez in the process. So clearly he's the perfect person for the job, and he won't get trapped inside like some kinda idiot. Right? Monstress Writer: Marjorie Liu Monstress is an Eisner award winning comic.  So far I am only 2 issues in, but it’s artwork is gorgeous and detailed. I hear it’s been slow to release new issue, but since I start a year or so after the first issue I should have to wait long. The universal Monstress is in, is vast and rich with potential story lines. So far I dig it, and you will most likely like it too, here’s the solicit: Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900’s Asia, in a richly imagined world of art deco-inflected steampunk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl who is struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them both. In the next few episodes might be a little different as I am experimenting with trying other formats, so you might be hearing other people with me.  Remember when I started the podcast last year it was going to be a journey as I figure this out. Who knows what I will settle on, but I do like just me a mic.  It’s simple and more personal, because it’s just you and me. So stayed tuned for what might be coming next. A big thank you to all of those who listen and comment on social media.  Like Lee Bokma you can see his work on FB at Art of Lee Bokma.  Also Jeff and Eddie over at MEGA podcast.  Jamie and Bri That One Time I was abducted by Aliens or TOTIWABA.
