In this latest installment of Open Your Eyes, McKay examines the powerful impact of the narratives we create and how they shape our lives. By sharing compelling stories of individuals who overcame immense challenges, the episode emphasizes the importance of consciously crafting life stories that inspire growth and change.McKay begins with Japan's historical rise as a world power, leading to the story of Hiroo Onoda, a soldier who remained committed to his mission for decades after World War II, believing the war had not ended. He then shifts to the inspiring life of Jessica Cox, born without arms, who defied the odds to become the world's first armless pilot. The narrative continues with William Kamkwamba, whose determination to harness wind energy transformed his village in Malawi. McKay also reflects on Alice Sommer, a Holocaust survivor who found solace in music, and Mother Teresa, who, despite deep spiritual struggles, remained dedicated to her mission. These stories, along with McKay's personal anecdotes about his daughter illustrate how the narratives we embrace can either limit us or empower us to achieve greatness.Main Themes:The influence of narratives on personal and collective identityThe historical significance of Japan's expansion leading to World War IIHiroo Onoda's story of unwavering belief in his mission, long after the war endedJessica Cox's determination to overcome physical limitations and redefine what is possibleWilliam Kamkwamba's innovative spirit that brought hope to his village through wind energyThe inspiring stories of Alice Sommer and Mother TeresaThe role of education and persistence in transforming one's life and community.The importance of consciously crafting and revising our life stories to align with our true potential.Key Quotes:"The stories we tell ourselves, the deep-seated beliefs we all hold, shape our reality in ways that go beyond what seems rational.""Hiroo Onoda continued his mission for 30 years, driven by a narrative he believed was true.""Jessica Cox didn't let her physical limitations define her, choosing instead to rewrite her life story.""William Kamkwamba's narrative of education and belief transformed not just his life, but his entire community.""Our job as parents is to give our children the experiences to write their own narratives.""Music saved Alice Sommer's life, providing a narrative of beauty and positivity amidst the horrors of a concentration camp.""Even in the face of spiritual darkness, Mother Teresa crafted a narrative of unwavering commitment to her mission.""Reflecting on your life story can help you open your eyes to your true potential."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

Covering a fascinating period of population growth, high infant mortality and deep social inequality, rapid medical advances and pseudoscientific quackery, Confinement: The Hidden History of Maternal Bodies in Nineteenth-Century Britain (The History Press, 2023) by Dr. Jessica Cox is the untold history of pregnancy and childbirth in Victorian Britain. During the nineteenth century, having children was frequently viewed as a woman's central function and destiny – and yet the pregnant and postnatal body, as well as the birthing room, are almost entirely absent from the public conversation and written histories of the period. Confinement corrects this omission by exploring stories of pregnancy and motherhood across this period. Drawing on a range of contemporary sources, Dr. Cox charts the maternal experiences of women, examining fertility, pregnancy, miscarriage, childbirth, maternal mortality, unwanted pregnancies, infant loss, breastfeeding, and postnatal bodies and minds. From the royal family to inhabitants of the workhouse, this absorbing history reveals what motherhood was truly like for the women of nineteenth-century Britain. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Nutritionist Jessica Cox joins Mason for an illuminating conversation around the topics of holistic health, diet culture and the connection between food, mood and gut health. With a shared passion for the healing potential that medicinal mushrooms and tonic herbs provide, Jessica and Mason joyously jam out, sharing the simple yet delicious ways these beautiful plant allies can be consumed through the daily diet while covering where they're positioned in a more clinical diagnostic setting.  With 15 years experience on the ground working with people in clinic, Jessica shares how the extreme approaches to diet currently occupying the wellness space are causing more harm than good, and the work she does as a practitioner to manage expectations and shepherd her clients through lifestyle change.  In this episode Jessica and Mason aim to demystify diet culture and bring awareness around the seasonal place extreme or therapeutic type diets hold, emphasising that seasons in our lives may call us to adjust our approach but ultimately dietary diversity is the key to long-lasting health. Jessica stresses the limitations of a one-size-fits-all all attitude and champions the powers of building strong foundations with a back-to-basics methodology.  It's a delight to witness the camaraderie these two share as they weave the knowledge and wisdom they've individually gained through years lived thoroughly through all facets of the wellness space. Ultimately reminding us that beyond the circulation of dietary fear, confusion and dogma, exists the middle path of balance, a place where solace can be found through the practice of sensibility and moderation.  A beautiful and grounded chat today, well worth the listen for beginners and those in the know. Enjoy.   Jessica & Mason discuss: - Extreme diet culture and the harm it causes. - The connection between food, mood, and emotions. - The practitioner/client relationship and the importance of trust in creating positive treatment outcomes. - Ego, practitioner as god, and helping the person in front of you.  - Dairy and calcium. - Dietary diversity and gut health. - Anti-nutrients and the myths surrounding them. - The clinical and nutritional use of medicinal mushrooms.   Resource guide Guest Links Jessica's WebsiteJessica's InstagramJessica's FacebookJessica's YoutubeJessica's PinterestJessica's TwitterJessica's Recipes Related Podcasts Optimising Your Gut Bacteria with Dan Sipple (EP#68) Tonics For Season Pimped Up Matcha Latte (recipe by Jessica Cox)   Connect With Us SuperFeast InstagramSuperFeast FacebookSuperFeast TikTok SuperFeast Online Education   Check Out The Transcript Below: https://www.superfeast.com.au/blogs/articles/ditching-diet-culture-with-jessica-cox-ep-202
