Her goal is to get moms to move with confidence and build strength at any size without worrying about their size or weight. Krysti resides in Burford, Ontario with her husband, three children and beloved dog Ozzy. Please join me in welcoming Krysti Hi Krysti. Krysti Beckett: Hi. Thanks so much for having me. Gissele : No, thank you for being with us. I wanted to ask you if you could tell the audience how you got started in this business that you’re in. Krysti Beckett: Yeah, I mean, as a young person, fitness was not [00:01:00] really on my radar. I’ve been a plus size my whole life, but I actually was a nanny in my early twenties and one of the women I was a nanny for had a fitness business and she said, you know, you’d be really good at this. So I kind of started doing admin work and then I got certified as an instructor and really like, found movement that I liked. ’cause I think for a lot of women I grew up. Just doing fitness, like you exercise to be skinny. And it had to be hard and it had to be uncomfortable. But I kind of fell in love with it, trying different things and decided that that was the career path I would take. So I became a personal trainer and I kind of did follow the grain for a long time with the fitness industry and selling weight loss and teaching people how to basically always be on the journey to lose weight And then I kind of understood and, and saw some research that showed that [00:02:00] most diets are actually designed to fail. That’s how we make our money. And started to learn more about. The benefits of strength training for longevity to relieve pain. the benefits for your bones, all sorts of things that have nothing to do with the scale whatsoever. And through that, also becoming a mother at the, around the same time learning about pelvic health. So as a pelvic fitness specialist, I’m working with women to overcome things like pain, leaking, painful sex something called prolapse, where your pelvic floor, if it’s not supportive enough, the organs can actually descend from your body. And it’s actually fairly common, but it’s, it’s something we just don’t talk about enough. Gissele : Mm mm I love everything you just said. Krysti Beckett: Thanks. Gissele : The first thing is really that, you know, reflecting on as a society we’re very plus size phobic, right? Like we, we think that skinny is the place to [00:03:00] be in. When you think about. You know how much we try to get everyone to fit in a box, right? Even like plastic surgery, everything. Everybody has the same nose, everybody has the same face, everybody has to have the same body, and that is such a disservice. What sort of messaging did you see around the fitness industry about people embracing their own sort of like body shape? Krysti Beckett: So unfortunately, I think the industry as a whole doesn’t, if you were to Google Fitness, if you were to Google Gym, you’ll find young, white, thin bodies. that’s the general representation that comes to the fitness industry. But it’s interesting because first of all, we white people, I mean, I’m a white person. We are the global minority. It’s people of color, the global majority, and yet this [00:04:00] industry has only reflected that in, you know, visually especially it’s become an aesthetic rather than about health. There are certainly other professionals like myself that serve as health at any size or fitness at any size, but there’s comparatively very few of us. Gissele : Hmm. You just got to triggering in my head, when I think about fitness and I think about what you were just talking about, I envision sort of the Lululemon. Yes. Even like yoga has sort of been sort of taking over. ’cause yo yoga’s supposed to be a spiritual practice as well as a physical one. Krysti Beckett: Mm-hmm. Gissele : Right? But then you, and then I’m not trying to judge the Lululemon wearing. Yoga people. It’s just that, you know, I sort of envisioning how everyone’s trying to fit that mold. And if you don’t have workout gear, that makes you look acceptable. I was one of [00:05:00] those, I never had workout gear that would be presentable, right? I half the time didn’t remember to shave my legs And so, yeah, the messaging that people are receiving is that they’re not good enough, right? Krysti Beckett: A hundred, a hundred percent. And to tie in into what you just mentioned a lot of traditional practices that belong to other cultures. Like yoga have been whitewashed. And so there’s this, I can’t even think of the comedian’s name, but she is East Indian and she has this hilarious bit where she talks about like, if you are rushing to yoga, you are doing it wrong. The whole purpose of yoga is to slow down and restore yourself, and it’s something people do in their pajamas. But in our western culture, it’s people hustling to get to class and they’re taking their fancy yoga mat and they have to, like you said, the Lululemon [00:06:00] clothes. And it’s you know, on, on Instagram, especially when we see these influencers, they’re very thin. They’re wearing all the fancy gear and, and doing the very extreme poses, handstands and floating and, it’s incredible the things we can do with our bodies, but it’s also an, that’s an ableist perspective. Most of the population cannot move their body that way, could they? With training and display, I mean, it’s very possible, but for most people, that’s not what their bodies do, and that’s not necessarily what fitness looks like for them. Gissele : Yeah. And I was just contemplating on the fact that there have been now yoga studios that do drinking and yoga, right? Krysti Beckett: Oh yeah. Gissele : And so they do drinking and yoga, and then they do like the puppy and that, that’s all great. Like if that’s what you wanna do. But like you said, like, are we abiding by the true essence of [00:07:00] the practice? Right? Right. And are we creating environments that are. Open to different body shapes, different sizes, and let me know your thoughts about this, because I always thought these sorts of things are just a mirror of us, how we reject ourselves, right? plastic surgery these are billions of dollars. So these are people that are realizing or thinking that they’re not enough, that they need to look a certain way. the diet industry is billions of dollars. Ozempic, I’m interested in all your thoughts. Krysti Beckett: Yeah. I, so to start off, culturally, we are people that expect instant everything. I mean, we no longer wonder or search for information in our brain. Like, what was that actor’s name again? Or what was that thing that happened last week in the news? We instantly can pull up our phones and we can get the [00:08:00] answer in seconds. And so when it comes to something like our bodies, everything takes time, everything. And so to expect that you can change your body, particularly in appearance instantaneously, is not realistic. And. Unfortunately, I think a lot of pressure is put on us. One of the ways that the diet indu industry really messes with our heads is before and after pictures. And though the intention maybe, and I did, I used them for a time as a personal trainer. The, the intention was to show if you put in the work, you will get results. But that’s not what it ends up doing. What it ends up doing is telling our brains, here’s a body ideal. Here’s what you have. It’s not enough, it’s not worthy. Here’s what you can [00:09:00] have that is worthy. You will be a better person. We will respect you more. We will see you as far more valuable if you have a smaller, more chiseled body. And with Ozempic it’s such a weird time for us. In the states, especially celebrities can market pharmaceuticals. So we have Gissele : mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: These beautiful people Gissele : mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Who may or may not be using the drug being paid to market it. So using their influence in order to sell it. And I’ve had three clients that were on ozempic, two of them for diabetes but all three with the goal of weight loss. All three of them women in their fifties and no, maybe sixties have come off it because even though they did say it did help them reduce their eating, they found that they were always overeating and they were always thinking about food. They all reported low [00:10:00] energy and muscle loss. And no one is talking about this because especially after 50 perimenopause, when your estrogen drops, it is harder to keep your muscle, let alone, to grow it, to make more muscle. Mm-hmm. With ozempic. You are making it astronomically harder because it’s actually removing some of that muscle. And above and and above that there are other things that people are reporting. It’s hard, it’s hard to really know what the, the landscape is going to look like. Yeah. Over the next decade or two because it is so popular and seeing the effects. But every single medication out there, and I’m not knocking medication. I have used medication, you know that is a discussion between you and your doctor. But that discussion should always, always include the risks. And there are always risks to medication. You have to make that decision with your doctor. Is the risk worth it? Are [00:11:00] you going to get significant benefits to improve your health and your life? Right? But going on Ozempic because you saw a celebrity selling it because you think it’s going to solve all your problems with weight loss. I don’t know. I don’t know that it is. Gissele : Yeah. And I think one of the things that you just mentioned, which triggered in my head, it’s one thing to take a pill to help yourself, like as a stepping stone, But if it’s impacting your ability to create healthy habits, that you can continue beyond that pill, I think that’s where I start to wonder whether or not it’s really helping. Right? So if you take for example, something that can help you, manage your pain so you can start walking and out there and getting more physically fit, Krysti Beckett: right? Gissele : That makes sense, right? You wanna manage the, the symptom in the moment. But if it’s impacting your ability in the long term, and you and I have chatted before about Blue Zones [00:12:00] and about the importance of movement, right? And so if that’s preventing you from moving and creating those long-term habits, it’s would be concerning to me that that’s an option. Krysti Beckett: I think even, and speaking from experience with you know, having seasons of debilitating mental health, there were periods of time where I did need medication to function. I did need medication to get out of bed to be able to think clearly without I go back to the word debilitating, right? There are seasons of our lives where we need this, and of course there are, you know, lifelong chronic struggles where people are dependent on medication, and I’m so grateful that we live in a time where so much is available, but again, we have to have those discussions with knowledgeable professionals to know what we’re getting into because it can, it can lead [00:13:00] to alternatives that maybe we weren’t anticipating or thinking about. Gissele : Yeah. Yeah. I just wanna clarify for my listeners, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to change, right? Like, so there’s nothing wrong with, you know, wanting to be thin or wanting to be plus size or wanting to be fitter. Mm-hmm. It’s the way that it is marketed, the way that the messaging is you are not enough. Krysti Beckett: Mm-hmm. If Gissele : you are not thin, you’re not enough. If you don’t look a certain way. I think that’s probably the most damaging thing, that we accept those messages and then change ourselves because it is okay to love and accept yourself and choose to change. Krysti Beckett: Absolutely. Gissele : Right. And say, you know what, because I, I dye my hair, I just like my hair darker right now. It doesn’t mean I, I don’t like my gray hair. And sometimes I grow up my roots quite a bit. I’m not rejecting myself either way. I [00:14:00] just have a preference, but it’s not gonna make or break me if I don’t go a month or two months without dying my hair. what has been your experience around the women that you have supported about their worthiness, around weight issues? Krysti Beckett: Yeah, it’s interesting ’cause what you just said about being content with who you are, but also wanting something different is, is not a bad thing. And I a hundred percent agree with you. It is a very uncomfortable conversation to have with yourself, to sit with the reasons why you’re doing something when it comes to your body. When you really start to think about, am I doing this because I want it? Or am I doing this because someone said something? Am I doing this because my mom commented on what’s on my plate at Thanksgiving? Am I doing this? Because every time I look at my pre-pregnancy jeans, I cry, am I [00:15:00] doing this because I saw another ad on my phone that’s telling me that I can lose 20 pounds in just six weeks? And why can’t I just do this on my own already? the conversations I have with my clients are truly, is it what you want or do you need to set boundaries with your mom? Is it what you want? Or do you need to get rid of those jeans and just spend the money and buy jeans That feel good? Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Is it what you want or do you need to tell that ad on your social media? No more? Like, what is that function where you’re Gissele : like, I don’t Krysti Beckett: wanna Gissele : see this kind of ad anymore. Krysti Beckett: there are things that we can do. We do have choices. And understanding that you can take that power back. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: You can. You can. And it’s, again, it’s uncomfortable, which I think is why it stops us. I’m totally guilty of not being assertive to somebody [00:16:00] in the moment and saying, I don’t like what you’re saying to me. Sometimes I go back, sometimes I let it fester. Like I’m gonna be totally honest, right? Gissele : Like, yeah, yeah, we do that. Yeah, Krysti Beckett: we, we do that. And that’s, Gissele : mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Some of it’s human nature. Some of it’s how we were raised, some of it is cultural. Women are not to be loud. If we are if we are assertive, like we are called a bitch, like it’s Gissele : mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Right? Like there are just things that culturally are not acceptable or that we’ve just learned to act a certain way. And so sometimes with my clients, it’s before they gain the confidence to do something different, they have to sit with that discomfort and give themselves permission to do whatever the heck they want and what’s actually going to benefit them. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Bravo I think figuring out like whose voice are we listening to, and is [00:17:00] it our true desire from our heart or is it someone else’s criticism of us that we’re listening to and maybe some people were raised with parents that, taught them those self-regulation skills. I certainly was not, my parents really didn’t know how to emotionally regulate themselves, and so I was not taught how to sit with those uncomfortable feelings. for you, what do you find helps you sit longer in that conversation or dialogue without pushing the eject button? Krysti Beckett: Ooh, I find that journaling is helpful because otherwise I ruminate. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: And one of my. Funny enough, one of the, the pelvic physios that I’ve had and her assistant were like, absolutely life changing because they came at pelvic health and physiotherapy from a perspective of rest. Gissele : Mm. Krysti Beckett: So it wasn’t about what can you do to fix this? It was about [00:18:00] slowing down and breathing and releasing tension before you went to the exercises. And Al Pat is her name and she taught me the phrase, rest is productive. And so in our sessions sometimes she would walk me through a meditation and then she’d say, whatever came up for you right now, let’s journal it. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: What came up for you in that time? Where did your brain wander? And she presented me with this concept that I didn’t realize how often I do it, but she called it time traveling. So like chopping vegetables, I’ll be standing at the counter chopping vegetables and I’ll start to think about that thing I said to that person in the grocery store that I was really embarrassed about. Or I’ll start worrying about what my kid is going to do at that play date with that other kid that he’s been fighting. You know what I mean? Like, we start to either worry about things that have happened that we can’t change or worry about things that have [00:19:00] not even happened yet, or maybe they won’t ever happen. We, we are really good at this. Gissele : Yeah. Krysti Beckett: And so journaling and just bringing ourselves back to the present and telling ourselves, Nope, I’m not thinking about that right now. No, I don’t need to think about that right now. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Yeah. Thank you for that. It’s interesting ’cause one of the things I’ve learned about myself is that. What I find when I do too much past, it kind of leads me to feel more depressed and too much future can cause anxiety. So really being in the present moment is important. And I love what you said about those monotonous behaviors because I now use my monotonous behaviors to envision my ideal life. Krysti Beckett: Ooh, Gissele : I love that. So if I’m doing something, the socks, either I’m listening to someone that is inspiring, or I am daydreaming I’m going to use that time to think about what I wanna create, to think about the things that are exciting me, because I used to do the same thing. It was like that constant [00:20:00] back and forth past future, past, future, past, future, in my mind was not kind to me, right? Like it would go to the most negative thing. So I’m like, you know what? I’m wasting my energy. I’m wasting my time. That time could be better spent planting the seeds that I want to create. Right. Krysti Beckett: Yeah, absolutely. Gissele : Yeah. I wanted to switch gears a little bit and talk about pelvic health. Krysti Beckett: Hmm. Gissele : Because, and that’s obviously related to movement because like you said, it’s something that’s not really talked about in women unless you live in like Denmark or something, or one of those Scandinavian countries where they actually apparently invest in women’s pelvic health. Why do you think we don’t talk about it? Why is it so taboo? Krysti Beckett: Oh gosh. Okay. So yes, you are right in some European countries, including France. Oh, of Gissele : France. That’s the one. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. Krysti Beckett: So France is like, they are like the topnotch country, in my opinion, when it comes to pelvic health. Mm, Gissele : [00:21:00] mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Women postpartum are given 12 weeks of pelvic physio. Women in France do not pee their pants. They do not deal with incontinence. It is part of their healthcare system. And here in Canada and the US physical therapy is generally not part of our healthcare. It occasionally is part of a surgical rehab. Although major abdominal surgery, like C-sections, hysterectomies, my ectomies, there is no rehabilitation investment whatsoever from our healthcare system, which is mind blowing, considering how small, how common it’s, Gissele : yep. Krysti Beckett: But when it comes to our healthcare system and, pelvic health, I think we don’t talk about it, number one, because it’s quite honestly, it affects women The most. Men have pelvises. They can have pelvic dysfunction, they can leak, yeah, they can [00:22:00] have pain during sex, things like that. But generally speaking, it’s not as big of a male issue. It is a female health issue. And when it comes to all the research that we have, women get a smidgen, they get like a little bit. And even the stuff that we do have, it’s geared towards, again, white women. And a lot of the standards that we have are, are based on the general population and not even for women. So for example menopause. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Had men included in the studies up until the nineties. Gissele : Wow. Krysti Beckett: So only the research. Yes. The research that we have for menopause. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Only in the last 30 years was it exclusively women. Gissele : Wow. talk about not generalizing to your target population. Krysti Beckett: When you think you, you think about the struggles that women have in health [00:23:00] and we’ve been taught not to complain and the common complaints are incontinence, so leaking pee when you don’t want to. So jumping, running, sneezing, laughing, coughing or painful sex, which is talked about even less. Gissele : Yeah. Krysti Beckett: And then prolapse I mentioned, or just pain in general in the pelvic area. They’ve become very common jokes in our culture. Like now that you’ve had a baby, you’re gonna have to wear Depends. Gissele : I was just gonna say that. How, how have we come to just accept that now there’s a diaper aisle for people? Krysti Beckett: Yeah. Gissele : Like, have you seen those commercials that are just basically like, here’s a diaper. Oh, this one feels comfortable. Like, why are we accepting that Krysti Beckett: and they market them sexy. Why are we Gissele : accepting that? Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: They market them as sexy, like the, the, it’s like invisible panty lines, but it’s like invisible diapers. Like you can’t tell that you’re wearing it underneath [00:24:00] Gissele : diaper. Krysti Beckett: Yeah. Yeah, it’s, it’s really interesting and I think the quick answer is that anything that can be capitalized is. Like truly, Gissele : ah, that’s, Krysti Beckett: yeah. Gissele : We’re accepting it, like you said. Krysti Beckett: Yeah. Gissele : We are giving it power. We are choosing to just use that instead of saying, no, I’m gonna heal this. Right. Yeah. The only advice I got post having two babies that like to some real movement down there and it, it was basically just do like as many Kegels as you can during the day. And I gotta be honest, that’s so freaking uncomfortable. I would never do them. I would never, ever do them. Like I’m telling you, it’s, it was until I started having some issues and then I’m like trying to kele myself to death. Right. And there are some tools out there that you can use, right? There’s the, there’s like a thing that you can like. [00:25:00] Exercise, right? There’s like that. Oh Krysti Beckett: yeah, yeah, Gissele : yeah. Krysti Beckett: So there’s, there’s lots of things out there, whether or not they’re beneficial, mm-hmm. To everyone’s situation. Really, really depends. so Kegels, for anyone that’s listening or watching and doesn’t know what that is, but that is the term for the pelvic contraction of the muscle. So the tightening, and you have several muscles in there. Think of them as like, think of your pelvis. Your pelvis is actually two bones that joins at. Your spine think of that as like a basket. And the lining of the basket is a whole set of muscles and they have many functions. But they do hold in your urine and your feces and they do provide sexual function and pleasure. They hold up your organs, they actually contribute to blood flow in your body to help return blood flow back to your heart. So they, they do have a lot of functions and just like any other muscle. Every [00:26:00] muscle that functions in your body needs to be able to lengthen and contract. So when you’re feeding yourself cereal, when you reach for the spoon, you’re lengthening. And when you’re pulling the spoon towards your face, you’re contracting. Okay? When you do a bicep curl, you lower the weight. That’s a lengthen. When you bring it towards you, that’s contracting. You’re making the muscles shorter. So when we do Kegels, when we tighten them, that’s making the muscles short and strong. What happens to a lot of women and a lot, a lot of women, whether they’re doing Kegels or not, we tend to have an imbalanced pelvic floor. We tend to be very tight on one side and not tight enough in another, and that’s what causes the dysfunction. So dysfunction is anything that is not working properly. So to tell someone to just do Kegels, well, if you’re already too tight and you add more strengthening. It’s going to not help, it might [00:27:00] even make the problem worse. So in that case, that person might need to do some relaxation to release the muscles. And I don’t know about you, but having children is not relaxing most of the time. So for most women who have had children and over 85% of women will become mothers. Mm-hmm. They will have pregnancies and births. They need to manage their pelvic floor rather than worrying about being too tight or tight enough or pleasing their partner with their pelvic floor, which is another really awful message in our culture that pleasure is only for the man. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Sex should not hurt like ever. Gissele : No. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I’m glad you said that. I just wanted to go back to what you had said that your mentor had said about relaxing before doing the Kegels. Krysti Beckett: Yeah. Gissele : Can you talk a little bit about that? Krysti Beckett: Sure. So, a common thing that we do when we are stressed is we tense [00:28:00] muscles. Mm-hmm. We might not be conscious of how we do it, I’ll talk about three of the most common ones that affect your pelvic floor. One of them, which you can kind of think might directly relate is you actually clench your butt. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: So your glute muscles are not part of the pelvic floor, but every single muscle in the body does not work on its own. Every single muscle works with other systems, with other muscles. So there, there groups and there are pairs. And so your glutes, your butt muscles support your pelvic floor. Well, by clenching the butt we cause an imbalance. So that’s one area of tension. Another area of tension. Gissele : Sorry to interrupt you, but if, if somebody has constipation, that could also be indicative of Krysti Beckett: Oh yeah. Gissele : Yeah. Krysti Beckett: Okay. Constipation is a pelvic floor killer too. ’cause it causes a lot of pressure and strain on the pelvic floor. Gissele : Mm. Krysti Beckett: Yeah, there’s a lot. And dehydration contributes to that as well. Mm-hmm. Yeah, [00:29:00] that’s another one. Another area of tension is a lot of us like to clench our jaws. Gissele : Mm. Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: And there is fascia. Fascia is like like a netting, like a saran wrap that kind of covers our muscles that intertwine through our whole body. It’s a really amazing thing in our body. Mm-hmm. When we clench our jaw, that fascia runs from our jaw. There is fascia that runs from our jaw down our spine directly to our pelvic floor. And so they together. Gissele : Oh, Krysti Beckett: tighten. Another one is breath holding. So every time you breathe in your diaphragm, which is your breathing muscle under your lungs, it actually works like a sub pump with your pelvic floor. And when we hold our breath, whether that’s just thinking and ruminating, or maybe it’s every time we lift the laundry basket or, or lift our toddler or whatever, if we hold our breath, we create pressure in that canister. And by not releasing the air, by not breathing [00:30:00] through activities, by not breathing through our stress, we are creating tension. And again, that pressure can lead to other issues as well. So honestly, the, the best thing we can do is rest. To relieve tension, to breathe. And I think it’s such a, it’s become such a cliche thing. Oh, just breathe. Oh, just relax. And if somebody tells you that when you’re stressed out, we just get more mad. It’s not helpful. Fair enough. But, but truly, if we allowed ourselves to slow down, to breathe to rest, to actually believe that rest is productive mm-hmm. It would help us regulate our nervous systems. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: It would help us relax these tight muscles. It would allow us to actually be present, be in the moment, and [00:31:00] enjoy what’s going on, rather than always worrying about what’s next and worrying about how to fix something. Because sometimes the things that we need to fix start with stopping and slowing down. Gissele : Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Thank you for that. Yeah. I always thought there was a connection with, especially with like incontinence, that there might be an association with a fear or, or Right. Because think about kids when they’re young. Like if they have fears, they usually will pee the bed or they have nightmares, right? So like is there an emotional component to the pelvic? Krysti Beckett: So the, the kids part. So from a physiological standpoint, it’s incredibly common. More so in boys. Mm-hmm. Up to 2% of boys with what? The bed until 14 years old. And the highest contributor to that is actually constipation. Oh, so poor diet or you mentioned fears and I have [00:32:00] heard people say, well, it’s ’cause it’s strict parenting. But like, I think you kind of have to see, you have to know kind of your research before making. Gissele : Yeah, of course. Those, Krysti Beckett: those things. But from a physiological standpoint, Or they might be afraid of what might happen in the bathroom. And these are real fears. I mean, I was just talking with my clients in a class recently about how. Do you remember in middle school, like hiding the pad in your pocket and then when you got to the bathroom, you waited till the bathroom was completely empty to open the wrapper. Like you, we couldn’t mm-hmm. Have anyone know that we were menstruating. We like, it was just so, it embarrassing. So we’ve created kind of these conversations as young people. And then to add to that, I think that a lot of people generally have a, distrust and a shame when it comes to their pelvises, when it comes [00:33:00] to their genitals, because we over sexualize bodies. Gissele : Mm. Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: And so it no longer becomes, you know even the simple concept of saying the words penis and vagina, these are not dirty words, these are anatomy. Gissele : Yeah. But we didn’t even call it that before. Krysti Beckett: No. Gissele : Right. Like Coie and Chacha and all these other words. Yeah. We have, I think now our kids are, yeah. Before, like during my time, people didn’t really talk about it. And I love what you just said about it’s, it’s so true. This is part of our anatomy, but we have shamed ourselves. I think this is why we have so much shame and guilt in, in the antidote to that is to have compassion for ourselves and to be kinder to ourselves when it comes to that discomfort that comes from having these conversations, which is why I love that we’re having it, we’re talking about, you know, pelvises and the importance of that health and, but you are right, like we are so used to [00:34:00] fighting these aspects of ourselves that we don’t talk about it and then we suffer in silence. Like, how many of us are suffering in silence, not knowing anything about pelvic health or not anything about the things that women are going through, right? Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: I think so many of us were taught messages, you know, like, you know, starting from a young age, you have private parts, you don’t show anyone else. Well, for some of us that led to hiding in change rooms. Gissele : Yeah. Krysti Beckett: No one’s allowed to see this and you’re not allowed, like, don’t look. Mm-hmm. And then going into sexual relationships and not understanding that painful sex is not normal. Gissele : Yeah. Krysti Beckett: Or understanding that like. Self, like self lubrication, like your body does to an extent, makes some, but if it doesn’t, like using a lubricant [00:35:00] is 100% okay. And encouraged so that you can actually enjoy being intimate on top of that. Self pleasuring is not a bad thing, it’s not a shameful thing. Mm-hmm. You can enjoy that beautiful body you have. And if, if you were raised in a church like I was, guess what God gave you that amazing body. Yes. And he gave you all those amazing functions. And guess what? It’s okay to enjoy what he gave you. Gissele : Yeah. And then you think that if we made like masturbation and all those things. Okay. Like if we, if there was a messaging then, then maybe people might be less likely to experiment with like penetration, maybe leading to less pregnancies. I think it would open up the likelihood that women are more likely to have full expressive orgasms and have those like great experience and probably lead to less risky behavior. I don’t know. What do you think? [00:36:00] Krysti Beckett: I think, I think maybe it’s a bold statement, but I think men would be too afraid of how powerful we would be if we had complete control and enjoyment of our bodies. It’s a bold statement, Gissele : You know, there’s lots of people talking about like, the key to manifesting is using the O method. Have you heard of that? Krysti Beckett: I have not heard Gissele : this. Using an, using an orgasm to manifest your Right. Well, you’re about to orgasm. You think about your manifestation. If you just Krysti Beckett: wanna manifest orgasms, can you start there? Gissele : Exactly. That was brilliant. I gotta take my hat off of that one. In terms of pelvic health, are you seeing sort of a shift in terms of people engaging in more conversations with less shame and guilt over their bodies? Krysti Beckett: I think once women become aware of what is normal and what is common, like leaking is common. But a healthy pelvic floor, [00:37:00] you can control, you can pee when you want to. And you can enjoy sex and live pain free pain is your alarm system, right? So once people kinda hear, oh, I can do something about this. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: I do find that more women are taking those steps to book their assessment with a pelvic physiotherapist to understand how they need to change some habits to feel better. And for some women it’s as simple as drinking more water. And for some women it is a little bit more work like doing the exercises. And of course there are still barriers, physiotherapy, like I said, it’s not covered in our healthcare system. And as a fitness professional, I can’t diagnose your symptoms. I can help you improve your symptoms with my knowledge, but I can’t do an internal exam or anything like that. [00:38:00] So there still are going to be barriers where women will just not have the money to go get an exam. But we do the best with what we can. And I’m really glad to see the conversation shift that women are open to having these discussions, that they’re open to saying, okay, yeah, I did have painful sex, or I am having painful sex. Mm-hmm. And I would, I would like to not like to actually enjoy it again. Gissele : Yeah. Do you find certain ages are more open and receptive to talk about things like pelvic health? Krysti Beckett: Yeah, there’s a lot of women I think in the childbearing ages because you do tend to talk about your symptoms a lot in the pre postpartum period with your healthcare professional. When women start to talk and compare their experiences, that’s happening a lot and I’m seeing it a lot now, [00:39:00] particularly in women over 40 in perimenopause, which is also something that was very taboo. We just kind of had these stories about what women did and how they acted in menopause and you feared them. They were angry women with hot flashes, right? Mm-hmm. But, but now we’re seeing more women come, come forward and talk about their experiences and. I think that’s not only changing our healthcare, but it’s changing our communities as women, because we need that connection. We need to support each other. Hmm. And you know, your body, you’re gonna have it your entire life. Right. We have to learn how, how to manage it. And so having these conversations can not only validate you in your experience, [00:40:00] but it can open up doors to find what can help you through your experience. And even if there isn’t a remedy, then maybe it can at least help you understand that, okay, this, this is normal and I can manage it. Gissele : as you were talking, I was reflecting on something you said. Which really stuck out to me, which is we used to have all this secrecy about our bodies but secrecy is what leads to abuse, right? Like keep it secret, don’t tell anyone. Whereas making it out in the open forming community like you are. Putting people together as a support system, I think goes a long way in helping us lift each other up and support each other through our most challenging circumstances. I think there we’re sort of in a epidemic of loneliness and isolation that people are feeling I have to suffer through this alone in these opportunities of bringing women together in conversation, in discussion, in support, I [00:41:00] think are so amazing and I think something that definitely should be done, especially about, what people consider taboo topics, right? Like pelvic health. Yeah. Krysti Beckett: And when you know you’re right, secrecy can contribute to abuse. Absolutely. But also when you are suffering with something in your body, and even if it involves absolutely no one else, keeping it to yourself, often spirals into shame. And I have had clients who stopped having sex with their partners because it was uncomfortable and they didn’t feel comfortable having that conversation with their partner. So they just stopped. And that created disconnect in their relationship. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Because it wasn’t just about being in the bedroom. Right. Sex and intimacy is not just physical, it’s about the relationship above and beyond that. Mm-hmm. You [00:42:00] know, when. The second leading cause of being put into a senior’s home is incontinence. The first is dementia and Alzheimer’s. Gissele : Really? Wow. Krysti Beckett: Yeah. So I mean, you’re, our health is incredibly intricate, but also so huge. Like it’s intricate in that there’s so many different things going on, so many systems and our bodies really are so amazing how they work for us every single day. But in that same token it is just one part of you. Like we are multifaceted beings and so Gissele : mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Your mental health, your emotional health, your physical health, all of those. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: Like those three categories even have like several subcategories. Your physical health, your pelvic health is not like independent of you. It’s connected. So if you [00:43:00] tend to clench your jaw, ’cause your stress relates to your pelvic health, and then maybe that’s causing your leaking or your pain, and then maybe that leaking your pain is stopping you from going out with the girls on Saturday night. And then that contributes to your mental health too, because you’re not connecting with your friends. So you’ve got like all these steps and they’re all connected because you yourself are a multifaceted being and you need. Not just physical care, but emotional care, mental care. And, and I think that’s another thing that we don’t do very well culturally, or at least I wasn’t raised that way, was to really look at you as a whole person. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. And, but that’s how the medical system is, right? Like, again, not to judge it, it has, does very like a number of things really well, which is deal with like sort of acute problems, right? Like you get a cut, you need pain meds. All of those are amazing, grateful to have it right, but it doesn’t do well [00:44:00] with chronic. and it’s all symptom management, right? I’m handling this symptom, but I might give you this pill for this other symptom. And sometimes like multiple pills you’re taking for this symptom and that symptom, it doesn’t treat historically the whole person, at least not the North American model. I know that models in other countries are different, so we’re seen as just body parts. Right. That we’re treating instead of seeing holistically the whole person. Right. What’s going on for you stress wise that might be leading to this particular physical reaction? like people acknowledge that there is the research out there to connects things like stress with heart disease But we are still sort of treated as limbs as part of a body instead of a whole being that has all of these social relationships. Was it you who was talking to me about like the doctors answer? if you’re a, a person who’s plus size, the doctor’s first answer is always lose weight. Krysti Beckett: Oh, yeah, Gissele : yeah, yeah. Okay. Share that story. That’s so [00:45:00] important. Krysti Beckett: Yeah. It’s very common, especially for women that if they go to their doctor with a health concern. And the doctor will usually go through a series of questions, do you do this? Do you do this? And usually if they can’t come up with a quick answer, they’re almost always the answer is just lose weight. And in my experience, I haven’t had my current doctor tell me that. But there was a conversation where I was struggling with low energy and we’re going through the markers. And now I was, I don’t remember how many months or years postpartum I was, but I was inexplicably tired. I was getting enough rest. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: And at the time he’s, he said, well, let’s do some blood work. And when it came back, everything was like, textbook or better than textbook. And he said to me, your triglycerides are better than [00:46:00] textbook. And he’s like, did you forget to tell me about a medication you were on? And I was like did you not hear the part where I weight train and I teach five fitness classes a week? Like I’m incredibly active. It’s not abnormal for someone who’s physically active as me to have load triglycerides like that. They should be, you know? Yeah. But, but no, it was though, though, not a direct accusation, but I did feel as though he was saying that I had lied or failed to share some information. And I have had clients, you know, report things like neck or back pain and inexplicable. So they were told just lose weight. Where, you know, they are strength training, they’re walking, they’re doing whatever, and, mm-hmm. In one case, it was a client. She needed she finally got an MRI, she had degenerative discs. Something that cannot be fixed by dieting. So there’s, [00:47:00] there’s so many things out there, and unfortunately between pharmaceuticals, between the diet industry, which is often supported by pharmaceuticals our, our doctors are often kind of, that’s what they’re trained in. Yeah, Gissele : yeah, yeah. And like you said, as consumers, we should be looking for more holistic approaches in trying to find people that are creating the whole body and supporting the whole body. I love the idea of interprofessional workers together. Like I would want as a woman to have a pelvic health specialist with my gynecologist, with all of these different individuals working together to talk about. The whole me. Krysti Beckett: Mm-hmm. Gissele : Rather than having me go with all these different individuals separately and have to spend that money separately to come together to have, to figure out how to put all these plans together. [00:48:00] I think as a society, I’d hope that we move to having all of these individuals supporting the whole body, and also the need for physiotherapy and all of these other, additional therapies to be supported by our, healthcare. Mm-hmm. Like if we’re truly having inclusive healthcare, all of these options should be available. For individuals. Right. So I do hope that we get there. Krysti Beckett: I would love that too. I mean, if, if you have a good job with benefits, fortunately, you know, my husband’s benefits provide so much for us in that way. I’m able to have a lot of my physiotherapy, massage therapy, osteopathy, naturopathy chiropractor. Like there are lots of things that are covered. But again, that’s because of his work benefits. It’s not covered by our healthcare. Not yet anyways. Gissele : Right. And so if people don’t have work that provides those benefits, then who might you punish? Are you punishing people that are [00:49:00] more vulnerable that don’t have those, those that kind of employment that might be higher paying, better wages? So from that perspective, we have to wonder, ’cause I kind of have this belief that the quality of the government. Is demonstrated by its ability to take care of its most vulnerable citizens. Krysti Beckett: what an incredible place we would be in if, everyone made a living wage. Yeah. Gissele : Yeah. They talked about basic income, but I guess that went the way of the dodo. because the research on basic income. and there’s certain, European countries that do basic income and people that don’t need it actually say, oh, I don’t want it, right? Krysti Beckett: Mm-hmm. Gissele : But they give it to the majority of their citizens. And people have a higher standard of living, more likely to be better educated. So people don’t use that just to sit around. Krysti Beckett: No. Gissele : Right. Like there’s this perception, the research and it was Canadian research [00:50:00] prove that people’s lives improve when they were outta survival and they had more income. And so there, there was a contemplation that it was something that they were considering applying. But then that just kind of quietly went away. At least here in Canada. But who knows? But yeah, it would be fabulous to have, those, those sort of options for different people. There’s also like countries that do away with homelessness by providing people homes, right? Yeah. They give people little tiny homes that they can have space and they’re more likely to then wanna take it to the next step in terms of getting jobs, getting off drugs, and all of those things. So I think when we, when we reach out and help people and see them as a whole being and care about their wellbeing, I think that’s what societies improve and get better about. Krysti Beckett: There’s really no downside to investing in people. Gissele : Yeah. Krysti Beckett: I mean, I’m so grateful in Canada that [00:51:00] we have a mat leave, which Wow. Seems like, so in my mind, basic because. we’ve had it for so long. Yeah. But then when I take on a client from the states and they tell me that Gissele : Yeah, Krysti Beckett: at the most, at the most they get 12 weeks. Gissele : Yeah. Krysti Beckett: And a lot of it depends on either what state you’re in or what your employer allows. It may or may not be paid. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Krysti Beckett: But wow. Like in one case I was supporting a mom, a c-section after twins, and she was going back at 12 weeks postpartum as a neonatal nurse. So she’s leaving her babies behind to go take care of other babies. Meanwhile, she’s had major abdominal surgery and she’s gonna be on her feet for like, 12 hour [00:52:00] shifts. So she needs her body. And here like. Their system was not supporting her. So I just feel so grateful for where we live and that we, you know, even as a self-employed person, I didn’t get a mat leave for my third birth, mm-hmm. But I still had culturally here, the understanding that I was postpartum, I was stepping back, I was doing things differently and I was well supported during that time. Yeah. You know, by family, by clients. You know, certainly the respect of understanding that that was happening, no expectation for me to rush back into things. Mm-hmm. But like, what a different world we would be in if we, if we set kind of those bare minimums, those standards of taking care of people. Gissele : Mm-hmm. Yeah. I was thinking about the time when I had my first baby and I returned back to work, it was [00:53:00] like. Like you opened up floodgates. I was crying all the time. I was crying at work. This was a year after, like Right. I had been for a whole year with my baby. Right. I can’t even imagine having, giving birth. And then a few weeks later it just like, well, okay, I gotta go. Oh my God. I think I, I think I might’ve quit.So a couple of more questions. I ask all my guests what their definition of unconditional love is. Krysti Beckett: Ah, unconditional love is being able to give when you are at Any season really at your absolute worst, at your absolute best, but being able to still give no matter what kind of resources you have. Gissele : Hmm. Krysti Beckett: [00:54:00] Emotional or other. Gissele : Hmm. Thank you for that. So last question. Where can people work with you? Where can they find you? Tell us about your website, anything you wanna share with the audience? Krysti Beckett: Sure. Yeah. My website is http://www.theconfidentmama.ca and I have a blog and I have free core guides and things like that. You can always message me for a free consult. I love meeting people. I love chatting about health and, and whether it’s working with me or just getting connected to somebody that can help you. I really do love having those conversations. I am on social media and LinkedIn, so if you’re looking for the Confident Mama and yeah, and if you’re in Southwestern Ontario yeah, hit me up. Brant Burford. I’m often in Kitchener and gray Bruce area and Niagara Gissele : Do you support people in both the physical activity part and the pelvic health as well? Krysti Beckett: Yes. So I’m a personal [00:55:00] trainer with pelvic fitness specialty, so whether virtual or in person, I offer coaching and personal training, so I work one-on-one. I also have fitness classes here in Burford. But if, if somebody needs help getting started or doing something differently in their fitness, I certainly can help them with an exercise program. Or if they just need coaching so that they can feel better in their bodies, feel more confident make their health a priority, then I’m your gal. Gissele : Oh, amazing. Thank you so much, Krysti for such an awesome conversation. I’m so, so excited for our listeners to, to listen to this conversation because we’ve been talking about things that have been taboo and haven’t really been talked about. So thank you so much for being on the show, and please join us for another episode of The Love and Compassion Podcast with Gissele. Krysti Beckett: Thanks. Have a good night. Gissele : Bye.

Send us a text Krysti leads off with the tale of Clipperton Island. This island is now the home to poisonous crabs and that's about it. This island was “owned” by many countries by the end of its saga. This island was the source of mass amounts of guano which was in high demand for fertilizer. There were fights between countries over this itty bitty island. This led to Mexico claiming the island and leaving a contingent of folks to guard it. These settlers get stuck due to things like WWI and the Mexican Revolution. This also prevented the supply ships from coming. All the things proceed to go wrong and bat shit crazy is a term for a reason. This island is now a French island. Tori takes us to Edinburgh Castle. This castle has been in use since AD 638. This castle has been a source of conflict between the English and the Scottish. The Scots did retain it and is home to the Lia Fail and the Honours of Scotland. This castle has been the home to kings, queens, sheriffs, and soldiers. The castle itself is made of limestone, we've talked about limestone and stone tape theory before. And guess what? This sucker is haunted with many ghosts. Our Sources: historydefined.net, damninteresting.com, historicmysteries.com, historic-uk.com, edinburghcastle.scot, great-castles.com, thelittlehouseofhorrors.com, mercattours.comOur theme music:   Camille Saint-Saëns: Danse Macabre - Busy Strings by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License. Support the show

In this episode we meet Krysti Keener, a student in the East-West Psychology/MFA Masters Program, and hear of how she came to cultivate a transformative and healing artistic practice through opening to the liminal power of found objects. We discuss the problem of how we conventionally frame artistic practice and identity in relation to the culture industries and share strategies of exit which aim to liberate the practitioner from artistic labour to artistic transformation. We discuss how such a change of milieu based upon spiritual and holistic world views can produce new forms of creativity and subjectivity which facilitate individual and collective transformation and wellbeing. Krysti ends the podcast by sharing her current EWP community building project based upon creating an artist in residency program for people with traumatic brain injuries. Bio: Krysti Keener's life changed instantly when she suffered a traumatic brain injury in her late forties. A portal opened, and her art practice slowly developed as her brain healed. She is the Founder and Executive Director of The Neuro: Community, Artist Residency & Mentorship, a non-profit founded to support the flourishing of neuro-disrupted individuals by providing services that connect them to community, art, and nature, with an emphasis on integrating these aspects into their lives. She is an artist, Spiritual Herbalist, founder of the herbal brand Soul Topophilia, hypnosis practitioner, and Hakomi certified coach working with people whose lives have been upended. She holds a dual MBA from Columbia University and the University of California, Berkeley. She is currently a student at CIIS in the joint Masters degree program in East-West Psychology and an MFA.

Evropa se momentálně potýká s nedostatkem smetany, ceny vzrostly i u másla. „Na evropském trhu je momentálně nedostatek mléčného tuku, což přímo souvisí s dlouhým obdobím horkého počasí,“ říká Martin Krystián, generální ředitel mlékárny Olma, která produkuje vůbec nejvíc čerstvého mléka v Česku. Dlouhá vlna velmi teplého počasí v Evropě pak stojí za nedostatkem mléčného tuku, neboli tukové složky mléka, poptávka po ní je přitom dlouhodobě vysoká. Slouží totiž k výrobě různých druhů smetan, stejně jako másla, i dalších produktů. V celoevropském průměru ceny másla vzrostly během léta až o dvacet procent. „Co ale bude do budoucna, nedokážu takto predikovat. Trend se jeví jako zvyšující se, ale ceny určuje trh, s tím my z malé České republiky nic neuděláme a musíme je reflektovat,“ říká Martin Krystián, šéf Olmy, která je součástí zemědělsko potravinářského holdingu Agrofert.

10 Blasco y la máquina hierogámico-sacrificial Uno de los amores más famosos y a la vez más desconocidos del escritor valenciano fue con la escritora y condesa doña Emilia Pardo Bazán, concretamente tan solo siete años después de casarse con María Blasco. Un año después, en 1899, la Bazán viajó a Valencia donde fue agasajada por las personalidades del momento como el doctor Moliner. La escritora gallega también había vivido la vida loca en París y como mujer adelantada de su época abogaba por el sexo libre y con quien ella quisiera. Con Blasco se juntaron las ganas de comer con la comida copiosa y ambos se dejaron ver en grata compañía. El que fuera compañero de partido Rodrigo Soriano y del que hablamos en los capítulos cuarto y séptimo tuvo la suerte de que la mujer de Blasco le entregase una carta dirigida a la Pardo Bazán ya que era sabedora de los devaneos de su esposo con la escritora. Este no echó la carta al correo y la utilizó en contra de Blasco difundiendo a los cuatro vientos la infidelidad del valenciano. Todo empezó el 4 de Febrero de 1903 con la publicación en el propio periódico fundado por Blasco, el Pueblo, de un texto titulado «Revolucionarios de entretiempo» escrito por Soriano. Ya no podemos encontrar el artículo en dicho periódico pero si en pdf en la casa Museo Blasco Ibáñez. Era una sátira burlesca acerca de los ambiciosos revolucionarios que iban a la política por el sólo medro personal. Hablaba de Blasco como el «Sansón de los fideos», «hijo de un modesto tendero de ultramarinos» y definía a su padre como «el tendero de largas uñas». Se burlaba de la cultura de Blasco comparando al Sansón de los filisteos con el Sansón que despachaba en el ultramarinos: «cayó en manos de nuestro hombre cierta pringosa lámina de una historia de la Revolución francesa; en ella aparecían retratados algunos héroes de la tragedia sangrienta, que servían de envoltorio a medio kilo de aceitunas». Tras este episodio Soriano fue expulsado del partido donde ambos militaban y este empezó a publicar las cartas que tenía en su poder en el diario “El Radical”. Tan solo publicó una ya que Soriano, entrecomillas, “tiró con bala” a Blasco y luego sufrió un tiroteo en el camino de Benimaclet. Atentado que le fue devuelto en 1905 cuando Blasco y algunos correligionarios fueron tiroteados también lo que obligó a Blasco a abandonar la dirección del periódico “El Pueblo” y marchar a Madrid como les contamos en el capítulo cuatro. Tras su marcha a Madrid escribe en 1906 “La maja desnuda” que rompe con las novelas sociales que estaba escribiendo hasta ese momento. Estar en Madrid le garantizaba la cercanía de la condesa, y a la vez allí conocería a la amante definitiva, la chilena Elena Ortúzar, a la que suponemos “la maja” de la novela homónima aunque coincide plenamente con los cinco meses de relación en Madrid con la escritora gallega. Elena era la mujer del banquero y diplomático Salustio Barros Ortúzar, que estuvo en la embajada chilena en París y nieta del presidente de Chile entre 1841 y 1851. Este ultimo fue un masón prominente que posiblemente militó en la logia Lautaro que existió en Chile y que vendría a ser parte de un proceso de organización militar a escala regional, cuyo objetivo último era el derrocamiento del virreinato del Perú. “En 1906 estando de visita en el estudio de Sorolla en el paseo del General Martínez Campos de Madrid, Blasco descubre un gran retrato de cuerpo entero de una dama enjoyada, de la que el escritor se queda prendado. Le pide a Sorolla que se la presente pero el pintor que conoce el gusto por las faldas operísticas del escritor se niega, argumentando que es una señora casada, aristócrata chilena emparentada con varios presidentes de la república y esposa de un rico banquero chileno, Salustio Barros, bastante mayor que ella, con el que ha venido a España como agregado cultural de la embajada para la boda de Alfonso XIII con Victoria Eugenia de Battemberg. Se llama Elena Ortúzar Bulnes, tiene 34 años y en el ambiente familiar la conocen como “Chita”. “Hoy en día un escritor Nobel como Vargas Llosa diría que (la conoció), por la pichula. En Granada porque, a pesar de todo el dinero del mundo, la Chita era una “mala follá” a la que un caballo viejo, se supone que la cubría poco y mal, y a la que, a pesar de sus deslumbrantes 34 años, no le había dado nadie todavía un buen revolcón como Dios manda. Y ahí está Blasco, con sus 39 años, hecho un toro, y al que, como se dice con escaso refinamiento en mi barrio obrero de la Ría …” le tira más un pelo de coño que una maroma de barco”… Y el gañán de la montaña turolense, le da un repaso a la refinada chilena dejándola más colgada que una percha, haciéndola descubrir un mundo de pasión que hasta entonces entre cirios, hostias y aguas benditas ni se lo olía. Y comienza una relación adúltera que durará años y que solo se regularizará cuando ambos enviuden de sus respectivos y se casen en 1925.” El periodista Carretero Novillo más conocido como el caballero audaz nos cuenta como el propio Blasco le contó sus aventuras con la escritora gallega durante una cena en el hotel Palace de Madrid una vez se enteró que esta había fallecido. “Acababa de morir una ilustre artista española, septuagenaria, mujer excepcional, a la que su edad y su obra vigorosa hacían digna de respeto. «Entonces, glosando el tema, Blasco Ibáñez, de sobremesa, se deleitó en referimos sus aventuras amorosas con aquella dama ilustre, durante toda una época lejana de juventud, narrando los episodios con todo lujo de detalles…».” A Blasco Ibáñez no le importó la diferencia de dieciséis años con la Bazán, como hemos observado, le atraían personas de todas las edades y estratos sociales, desde condesas hasta prostitutas. También en la miniserie de Berlanga sobre Blasco Ibáñez podemos ver cómo la cantante de ópera rusa Nadina Buliccioff, después de una actuación recibe a Blasco en su camerino. Esta artista se encuentra azotando con la fusta a una asistente que la acompaña en la estancia, esta es su esclava sexual e invita a Blasco a usar la fusta con ella, oferta que el rechaza diciendo que le gusta más usar sus propias manos. Volviendo a otra de las escenas que nos muestra Berlanga podemos ver que sitúa a Blasco cuando se escapó a Madrid, o sea, diciembre de 1883 con 16 años, siendo por tanto un menor de edad siendo seducido por la escritora Pardo Bazán. La escena termina cuando los guardias localizan a Blasco y se lo devuelven a su madre. No creemos que sucediese tal encuentro sino lo que hemos contado anteriormente de que se conocieron seis años más tarde siendo Blasco ya adulto. “Mira, este es el rincón del infierno. “l’enfer" -dice la Bazán arrodillándose y acercándose a la entrepierna del joven Blasco mientras abre un compartimento de la librería. Aquí guardamos todos los libros eróticos. Ja, ja, ja. -rie la escritora ¿Conoces al marqués de Sade? -apostilla por último la Bazán. Ah, yo soy republicano. No quiero nada con los aristócratas aunque sean revolucionarios como Sade. -desdeña la oferta Blasco. Yo tampoco. Yo solo amo a los poetas apasionados. Mira Vicente, mira, como palpita mi pecho. -termina cogiéndole la escritora la mano a Blasco entregando su pecho abierto.” El marqués de Sade fue un escritor, ensayista, filósofo, libertino, activista político y noble francés conocido por sus novelas libertinas y su encarcelamiento por delitos sexuales, blasfemia y pornografía. Sus obras incluyen novelas, cuentos, obras de teatro, diálogos y tratados políticos. Algunos de ellos se publicaron bajo su propio nombre durante su vida, pero la mayoría baparecieron de forma anónima o póstuma. Le es atribuida también la famosa novela Los 120 días de Sodoma o la escuela de libertinaje, que fue publicada en 1904, muchos años más tarde de la muerte del marqués de Sade y que sería su obra más famosa. Fue adaptada al cine en 1975 por el autor y cineasta neorrealista italiano Pier Paolo Pasolini, quien sería asesinado después. Saló o los 120 días de Sodoma de Pier Paolo Pasolini basada en “Los 120 días de Sodoma del marqués de Sade”. Iba a ser una trilogía, pero misteriosamente no pudieron realizarse las dos partes restantes tras el asesinato en extrañas circunstancias de Pasolini. Pasolini es asesinado brutalmente por Pino Pelosi, un chapero de 17 años, en un descampado de Ostia, cerca de Roma. Su cuerpo, abandonado en un vertedero, queda completamente desfigurado. El joven confesó el crimen, afirmando haber actuado en legítima defensa al ser atacado por Pasolini, que intentaba violarlo. Sade da nombre a la palabra sádico y sadismo ya que sus personajes son los característicos antihéroes, protagonistas de violaciones y de disertaciones en las que justifican sus actos, según algunos pensadores, mediante sofismas. La expresión de un ateísmo radical, además de la descripción de parafilias sexuales y actos de violencia, son los temas más recurrentes de sus escritos, en los que prima la idea del triunfo del vicio sobre la virtud. Nos cuenta León Roca una anécdota que contaba Gómez de la Serna sobre las andanzas madrileñas de Blasco: “Es muy posible que corresponda a esta época de la vida madrileña de Blasco Ibáñez, la anécdota que Gómez de la Serna cuenta acerca de nuestro novelista. Dice que, una tarde, encontró Blasco Ibáñez a una prostituta en la calle la cual comenzó a quejarse de la tacañería del «viejo» que con alguna frecuencia la visitaba. Aparte de la curiosidad de la anécdota, Gómez de la Serna nos ilustra acerca de las preferencias callejeras que Blasco Ibáñez tenía acerca del amor. Esta tranquilidad, audacia o interés por abordar a las mujeres del arroyo, fue práctica habitual en él y la ejercitó hasta los últimos años de su vida. La anécdota se resuelve de la siguiente manera. La prostituta le llevó a su pisito y, al entrar, Blasco Ibáñez vio un retrato enmarcado y colocado sobre un velador. -¿Es este el «viejo» tacaño del que me hablabas? Ella dijo que sí. El caballero del retrato era Pérez Galdós.” También Berlanga era conocedor de estas aventuras que tenían en común esto 2 escritores y nos lo cuenta de una manera un poco distinta, más cinematográfica, en la miniserie sobre Blasco Ibáñez donde hay una escena en la que Blasco Ibáñez se encuentra vistiéndose después de tener relaciones con la prostituta y esta le dice que se apure que está esperando a un cliente. Pues cuando Blasco ya está acabando de recomponerse llaman a la puerta y aparece Benito Pérez Galdós, se saludan y se despiden. Con Benito Pérez Galdós intercambió sabrosas cartas sobre damas cuyos favores compartían como por ejemplo la famosa escritora gallega Pardo Bazán, y de expresar sus opiniones sin ponerles ningún trapito piadoso encima. No solo mantenía copiosa correspondencia con Pérez Galdós, es que además utilizaba las tramas de los líos de faldas en sus novelas como este caso del retrato de una de sus amantes que utilizó en “La voluntad de vivir” publicado en 1907: “Querido don Benito: Adjunto le envío un retrato de usted comprado por una señora chilena, muy guapa y muy cachonda, que creo vió usted en el estudio de Sorolla. Póngale usted una dedicatoria detonante, como la bomba de Morral, pues esta gachí está por los novelistas.” Hablaba por supuesto de la que sería una de sus últimas amantes conocidas, la millonaria chilena Elena Ortúzar y Bulnes de la cual se había enamorado hasta las trancas y que lo impulsó a destruir totalmente la edición de “La voluntad de vivir”. Cuando publicó "La voluntad de vivir" que relataba los amores con doña Elena, se presenta a las elecciones saliendo diputado otra vez. Pero como en él todo se mezclaba, aquella misma noche, recibe un telegrama de Alicante de la dama en cuestión, ya que le había remitido un ejemplar y le pide que vaya a verla. Y va. Se reconcilian y Blasco, tan caballeroso, destruye toda la edición de la novela en la que relataba sus amores. Durante muchas noches quemaron ejemplares frente al chalet de la Malvarrosa. Aquel fue su último intento de volver a Valencia. Un año antes, en 1906, había conocido a la milionaria chilena Elena Ortúzar y Bulnes, persona que tomaría como modelo para alguna de sus novelas y que sería fundamental en su vida personal. La tomó como modelo para sus novelas: La maja desnuda (1906), La voluntad de vivir (1907) y Sangre y arena (1908). Después de reconciliarse y llevar una vida casi marital con ella en Alicante, emprendieron un recorrido por Europa que culminó en Constantinopla. Partiendo desde Ginebra y tras visitar Berna, Munich, Viena y Budapest, Blasco inició su primer viaje a Oriente en compañía de doña Elena, la madre de su esposa, y la doncella. Este viaje, inmortalizado literariamente bajo el título de "Oriente", fue publicado en diciembre de 1907. Pasaron la primera gran guerra juntos. Antes de que ésta terminase, el esposo de la dama falleció en 1917. Entonces, huyendo de las incomodidades de una ciudad en guerra, se marcharon a Niza. Vivieron en el hotel Krysti. Poco después del éxito de «Los cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis», en 1919, compraron la villa Fontana Rosa, en Mentón. En 1925, en el mes de enero, fallecía en Valencia doña María Blasco del Cacho, la esposa del novelista. Como curiosidad referirnos a que el tercer significado de la palabra cacho según la Real Academia de la Lengua es cuerno o asta. (video cacho cuerno.mov) En Mentón, los dos viudos se casaron, en el mes de octubre del mismo año, en una ceremonia civil que se celebró en una sala de la villa Fontana Rosa y en presencia de don Arturo Alessandri, Presidente entonces de la República de Chile. Nos hubiera gustado que esta serie contará con 11 videos, pero lamentablemente finalizaremos de manera abrupta en el décimo. Pedimos disculpas por nuestra manera áspera e incluso violenta de concluir. Simplemente, tememos meternos en problemas si revelamos más de lo permitido, corriendo el riesgo, como me sucede a mí, de enfrentar responsabilidades penales por desvelar el mecanismo hierogámico-sacrificial primigenio. Pero no nos marcharemos sin indicarles el camino, sin dejar esas migas de pan que les permitirán esquivar a la bruja del cuento. No les hablaremos de políticos actuales con mujeres andróginas ni de asesinados por ETA con la legión de honor a los que les levantan un monolito justo en la línea que une el chalet de la Malvarrosa con la catedral de Valencia. Como hemos indicado a lo largo de los diferentes capítulos, el poder-religión y las sociedades secretas o discretas, y en particular la masonería, juegan un papel relevante en la modelización de las sociedades modernas. Iconos como Blasco Ibáñez son seleccionados para que las ideas de estos grupos permeen en dichas sociedades, guiándolas como un pastor lo hace con sus ovejas. Les pedimos disculpas nuevamente por la forma tan ruda y abrupta de concluir esta serie de videos sin mostrarles lo prometido. A veces es mejor plantar la semilla que recoger el fruto inmaduro. Nadie logra alcanzar el éxito sin pagar un alto precio, y aunque no podamos hablar abiertamente sobre ello por falta de pruebas, les mostraremos a continuación algunos datos objetivos. Las alegrías y desdichas de estos personajes famosos reflejan los ciclos de esa máquina hierogámico-sacrificial, como mencionaba Pedro Bustamante. La filóloga Pura Fernández nos contó cómo Valencia fue una de las zonas de la Península donde mayor expansión masónica se produjo durante la década de 1880. Justo allí, a los trece años, Blasco comenzó a escribir, y a los catorce ya había terminado su primera novela. El 4 de octubre de 1892 nace su hija primogénita, a la que llamaron Libertad. Vivió solo trece días. El 9 de noviembre de 1893 nace su primer hijo varón, a quien llamaron Mario. Una caída y una ascensión. También contamos como el 12 de Mayo de 1894 estrenó en Valencia su única obra de teatro que no tuvo mucho éxito y como además ese mismo día fallecía su madre a los 51 años de edad (5+1=6) y el 12 de noviembre de 1894, 184 días más tarde (6 meses justos) publica el primer número de El Pueblo, fundado y dirigido por él. Una fase negativa y otra positiva para alimentar la máquina. En marzo de 1906 renuncia a la política y a su acta de diputado. En diciembre de ese mismo año fue nombrado Comendador de la Legión de Honor de Francia e hijo predilecto de Valencia. Rodolfo Valentino fue elegido para protagonizar la película “los 4 jinetes del apocalipsis”, en parte por su parecido físico con Julio César, el hijo de Blasco fallecido en la veintena que guarda similitudes con el personaje principal del libro. Nosotros sospechamos que Rodolfo Valentino es el alter ego de César Blasco y que el seudónimo “Valentino” se utilizó por su semejanza fonética con valenciano. La muerte de su hijo Julio Cesar sobreviene el 18 del 11 de 1919 ( 1+8 = 9 - 11- 1919) fecha muy simbólica. El 19 es muy importante dentro del ocultismo y las religiones mistéricas que perviven hoy en dia dentro de las sociedades secretas o discretas. Se trata del llamado ciclo metónico o de Metón de 19 años tal y como leemos en la wikipedia: “…es un común múltiplo aproximativo de los períodos orbitales de la Tierra y de la Luna. En efecto, 19 años tropicales y 235 meses sinódicos o ciclos mensuales de las fases de la Luna no difieren más que en 2 horas; de ahí que después de 19 años, las mismas fechas del año corresponden con las mismas fases de la Luna.” En el 330 a.C., se mejoró el ciclo metónico de 19 años con el llamado Ciclo calípico de 76 años, reduciendo el error de 2 horas cada 19 años a 11 minutos cada 76 años. La mejora de los calendarios solares por los calendarios lunisolares es una de las diferencias entre la religión cristiana y el judaísmo, por ejemplo. Por esta razón, las fechas y las alineaciones astrológicas, como los eclipses, son tan importantes para el poder-religión que opera en la sombra. Blasco es nombrado Doctor Honoris causa por la muy masónica universidad George Washington el 23 de febrero de 1920. O sea, 3 meses y 6 días después de la muerte de su hijo Julio César lo nombran Doctor Honoris Causa. Eso nos da un total de 98 días. Nosotros sospechamos que se realizó un ritual lunar durante la fase decreciente aprovechando el simbolismo de los guarismos del año, dos diecinueves. 98 días, pero si el ritual oculto y al más alto nivel fue 1 día antes obtenemos 99 días, o lo que es lo mismo 33+33+33. Blasco Ibáñez murió en 1928 en Francia, pero fue gracias al alcalde de la ciudad de Valencia, Vicente Alfaro Moreno, que pudo volver a España. Este recibió del Gobernador Civil de la Provincia de Valencia el 28 de enero de 1932 el carnet que le acreditaba como primer edil. Su primera gestión como alcalde de Valencia fue solicitar la repatriación del cuerpo de Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, muerto en el exilio por la dictadura de Miguel Primo de Rivera. Veremos pues que como si se tratase de un reloj, cada 13 años se ha dado un acontecimiento fundamental en la vida de Blasco. Nació en 1867, y 13 años después, escribió su primera novela. Otros 13 años más tarde, en 1893, nació su primer hijo varón. En 1906, tras otros 13 años, recibió la Legión de Honor de Francia y fue nombrado hijo predilecto de Valencia. Trece años más tarde, en 1919, se hizo inmensamente rico por la traducción al inglés de Los cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis, el primer best-seller de la historia, y volvió a ser recibido con todos los honores en Valencia. Por último, trece años más tarde, en 1932, se pergañará su vuelta a España que concluirá en 1933 cerrando el círculo de su vida. Resurrección y muerte en un ciclo sin fin. Las pulsaciones de vida y de muerte de las que hablaba Freud, el Eros y el Tánatos, lo cual nos lleva a los nombres de los jinetes de esos caballos del apocalipsis que catapultaron a la fama a Blasco. El jinete del Caballo Blanco, que representaba la Pestilencia o Plaga, es llamado Moros, en analogía a la personificación de la fatalidad en la mitología griega. El jinete del Caballo Rojo, usualmente asociado con la Guerra, es Fobos, que representa el miedo y el pánico en la guerra. El jinete del Caballo Negro, relacionado con el Hambre o la Carestía, es conocido como Limos o Limosina, nombres derivados de conceptos griegos para el hambre y la necesidad; de ahí la palabra ‘limosna’. Y por último, el jinete del Caballo Amarillo o Pálido, conocido como Tánatos en la mitología griega, personifica la muerte. A veces se menciona junto a Hades o Inferos, que representa el infierno que le sigue. En el capítulo 2 vimos como los tres últimos papas, la supuesta facción opuesta a la masonería, también utilizaba el 13 de una manera que excede la casualidad. Quizás estos saltos de 13 años no indiquen nada significativo para el hombre de la calle, pero como decía el poeta Rumi «Lo que es una piedra para el hombre ordinario, es una perla para el que sabe». Les recomiendo encarecidamente que lean los artículos de “el puntal de dios” en mi blog y más concretamente el que publicará en breve donde nos habla precisamente de este mecanismo de 13 años y de la interacción 13-14-13 en reyes como Felipe II. Volviendo con Blasco, su chalet de la Malvarrosa, inaugurado en agosto de 1902, tenía una gran terraza –sitio predilecto del novelista para contemplar el mar– inspirada en el Pórtico de las Cariátides de Atenas, decorada con frescos de estilo pompeyano y presidida por una imponente mesa de mármol de Carrara sostenida por unos grifos de estilo helenístico. Una vista más cercana a las patas de la mesa nos muestra a estos pequeños demonios alados que son confundidos con grifos, pero no, los grifos no tienen cuernos. Los grifos, criaturas míticas con el cuerpo de león y la cabeza y alas de águila, han sido representados en diversas culturas a lo largo de la historia. Aunque generalmente son considerados guardianes nobles y protectores de tesoros, algunos mitos y leyendas los asocian con el mundo de lo sobrenatural y lo oscuro. En este contexto, los grifos podrían ser vistos como una especie de demonios, entidades que combinan la ferocidad del león y la astucia del águila para ejercer poder y dominación. Esta dualidad de su naturaleza, poderosa y a menudo temible, les otorga un aura de misterio y peligro, haciendo que su figura se desplace hacia lo demoníaco en ciertas interpretaciones culturales. Al igual que muchos demonios en la mitología, los grifos pueden simbolizar tanto protección como destrucción, dependiendo de la perspectiva desde la cual se les observe. Desde luego esta edificación sita en la playa de la Malvarrosa no se construyó ni mucho menos al azar si observamos ciertas alineaciones. Trazando una línea desde el chalet al Miguelete, una de las edificaciones emblemáticas de la ciudad de Valencia, esta pasa por el busto de Blasco que hay en el jardín del museo, también por el obelisco en forma de pirámide de la sección de informática y matemáticas de la Politécnica, se cruza con el monumento a Manuel Broseta asesinado por ETA en la Avda. Blasco Ibáñez y por el busto a Blasco inaugurado 100 años después de que la masonería tomase Valencia en 1880, pasa por el aula 6 llamada Blasco Ibáñez de la Universidad de Geografía e Historia, rozando la estatua de San Vicente Ferrer en el puente del Real, por la fuente octogonal de las cuatro estaciones y camino del Miguelete pasa a los pies de la estatua del Arzobispo Marcelino pasando por una de las bóvedas de la catedral de Santa Maria. La propia avenida Blasco Ibáñez que nunca termino en el mar como hubiese querido el escritor corta esta línea formando un ángulo de unos 30 grados, cosas de llegar tarde a urbanizar. El 5 de febrero de 1980 el periódico el País nos contaba en una noticia titulada “Volado el monumento a Blasco Ibáñez en Valencia”: “El monolito dedicado a Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, que fue inaugurado el pasado día 30 en la avenida de Valencia dedicada al escritor, fue volado en la madrugada del domingo, quedando destruido el busto del monumento. La acción fue reivindicada ayer por un grupo autodenominado Maulets, mediante una llamada a la agencia Efe en Valencia.Se encontraron restos de la cabeza del busto a unos cincuenta metros de su emplazamiento. El anónimo comunicante que reivindicó el hecho dijo que se responsabilizaba del mismo por suponer una agresión a los paisos catalanes.” 11 años 11 meses y 11 días después del atentado al monolito por los maulets y 660 días después de ser nombrado caballero de la legión de honor francesa, el 15 de enero de 1992 asesinan de un tiro en la cabeza al abogado, político, escritor y catedrático Manuel Broseta Pont en la cercanías del busto de Blasco Ibáñez en la Avenida Blasco Ibáñez. En su honor, el Ayuntamiento de Valencia erigió una columna, réplica de las que delimitan el Claustro de la sede histórica del Estudi General de Valencia, en la calle de la Nave, lugar donde fue abatido, y donde cada 15 de enero es recordado por su contribución a la democracia y a la libertad en España. Manuel Broseta fue asesinado por ETA el 15 de enero de 1992, levantan un monolito justo en la línea que une el chalet de la Malvarrosa con la catedral de Valencia. Le quitan la vida a las 10:20 de la mañana y el coche utilizado por ETA en la huida explota a las 13 horas. Blasco Ibáñez muere un 28 de enero, eso son 13 días de diferencia. La parada de metro de Facultats cambió de nombre el viernes 11 de marzo de 2022 pasando a llamarse Facultats-Manuel Broseta en homenaje al catedrático de Derecho Mercantil, o sea, exactamente a los 11013 días de su asesinato. Y es que parece que al igual que hay que situar el busto de Blasco Ibáñez en lo alto de un monolito, de un falo, para realizar una hierogamia, hay que destruirlo ritualmente para alimentar la otra fase de la maquina hierogámico-sacrificial como si se tratase de un motor de dos tiempos al que hay que alimentar con gasolina de vez en cuando. A veces, las dos fases se implementan simultáneamente, como podemos ver en el enorme falo erecto que es la torre a la entrada del osario de la batalla del Marne, la cual catapultó a la fama a nuestro escritor. Esta torre religiosa en forma de falo se llama textualmente 'linterna de la muerte' y está situada exactamente a 600 millas náuticas del chalet de la Malvarrosa, que fue inaugurado en 1902, aunque posiblemente tuvo una fase simbólica en 1901 con la colocación de alguna piedra. Trece años más tarde, en 1914, se libraba la batalla del Marne, el llamado 'milagro del Marne', donde, como les hemos contado, participaron 2 millones de soldados, resultando en 67,000 muertos, 128,000 desaparecidos y 325,000 heridos. Un sacrificio de vidas humanas al máximo nivel. Hay también otro falo de 33 metros de altura en el municipio de Mondement-Montgivroux, en el suroeste del Marne decorado con letras que parecen iberas con una enorme diosa de la Victoria sacando chispas…esto si es una hierogamia consumada. (video linea 600 millas.mp4) El propio chalet de la Malvarrosa sufrió también altibajos. Fue usado por la parte republicana durante la guerra civil como centro de asistencia sanitaria para niños y cuando Madrid estaba a punto de ser conquistada por las tropas nacionales, muchos evacuados de Madrid se refugiaron en el chalet de Blasco Ibáñez quemando la madera para calentarse y realizando sus necesidades primarias dentro de aquellos muros. Posteriormente en 1941, una vez ganada la guerra por Franco, un grupo falangista denominado “los Flechas Navales” instalaron en La Malvarrosa su escuela tras apropiarse por la fuerza de las llaves. Las cariátides de la terraza pompeyana fueron suprimidas: la galería quedó cerrada por muros y ventanas y lo que fue la casa de Blasco se convirtió en un cuartel desde enero de 1942 hasta el 21 de febrero de 1962. Luego permaneció en semiruina ocupado por familias marginales que terminaron por degradarlo. El ayuntamiento de Valencia terminó comprándoles el chalet a los herederos de Blasco en 1980. Sí, cuando se realizó la voladura de su monumento, y dado que el estado del edificio era tan ruinoso, decidieron derribarlo en los 90 y se procedió a su reconstrucción siguiendo los planos originales. En 1997 pasó a ser el museo que es hoy. En mi artículo Egregores, Obeliscos y Líneas Ley, mencioné otro falo erecto en medio de la Plaza de San Pedro. El obelisco del Vaticano estuvo en el centro del Circo Máximo de Nerón en Roma, es decir, en uno de los lugares de mayor afluencia de público en la antigua Roma, donde se realizaban rituales de sexo y sangre a la vista de todos. En la Edad Media se decía sobre la esfera de bronce situada en lo más alto del obelisco que contenía en su interior los restos de Julio César, pero durante los trabajos de recolocación en la plaza del Vaticano se inspeccionó a fondo, sin encontrar nada, por lo que el Papa Sixto V, lo reemplazó por una cruz de bronce de Cristo que se asienta sobre una estrella, a la que posteriormente en 1740, se le abrió una cavidad para colocar en su interior ciertas reliquias. Del chalet a la catedral de Valencia hay 4.34 km que sumadas las cifras dan un 11 o 2.34 millas náuticas cuyas cifras dan un 9. Justo en la intersección de esta línea con la avenida Blasco Ibáñez está el monolito que sufrió el atentado en 1980. La distancia del chalet de la Malvarrosa a dicho obelisco del Vaticano también es exactamente de 600 millas náuticas. Lo tenemos situado en el centro de una circunferencia que pasa por el falo del Vaticano o Eros, y por el Tánatos que representa el memorial de la batalla del Marne. El polo negativo, el receptáculo en forma de copa femenino o matriz, el sexo o Eros y el polo positivo, el falo enhiesto masculino, la guerra o Tánatos. Como decía Pedro Bustamente, “el poder-religión se basa en el manejo de esta máquina, mucho más que en las fachadas tras las que se esconde”. Blasco Ibáñez tan solo era una pequeña rueda dentro de la máquina y nosotros tan solo queremos mostrarle los planos a vds para que puedan decidir si quieren desconectarla o participar de forma consciente. Sean felices, cuiden de sus familias y que no les atrape el monstruo mecánico. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

In this episode of the Pharmacist Diaries podcast, I dive deep into the world of entrepreneurship within the pharmacy profession. Joined by Krysti-Lee Patterson, a pharmacist from Australia, the conversation explores the challenges and triumphs of transitioning from traditional pharmacy roles to entrepreneurship.

"I come from a long line of women who hate their bodies." Can you relate to this? I know I can! Until recently I had zero body confidence. Cultural expectations of a woman's body is traumatizing; leaving so many of us hating our bodies and disconnected from our deepest, truest self. In today's episode Krysti Beckett joins me to talk about body confidence, self-worth and self-love. Krysti is a Plus Size Fitness Professional and Women's Health Coach at her company, The Confident Mama. She lives in a small town in Ontario, Canada with her husband, 3 children and beloved dog, Ozzy. With more than 15 years in the Fitness industry, Krysti serves women with healthy habits and focus on pelvic health so they don't have to live with pain, leaking and other postpartum issues.

Tori starts off the latest megasode with several movie references and the Old Joliet Prison. Yet another prison with deplorable conditions, ghosts, and movie scenes. Also, they buried limbs in the cemetery there. Krysti comes around with Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Add in a vampire, a battle site, a horny gravesite, and you want ghosts? Because that's how you get ghosts. Chuck comes round with a Central American cryptid, the mysterious Aluxes, or the little people of Mexico. These Mayan legends have stuck around to this day. Malcolm brings us to Scotland and the Culloden Battlefield. The last stand of the Jacobites against the British Duke of Cumberlands troops. A series of poor tactical choices and being outgunned made this the site of an absolute massacre. There seems to be an echo of this battle that ripples through every year on the anniversary. Happy bday to Tori, she got the gamut of fun stories right up her alley for this episode.Our Sources: Tremeear J. In: Illinois Haunted Route 66. Charleston, SC: Haunted America; 2013., Taylor T.

Krysti leads off with the Opera Garnier Paris and its illustrious history. This opera house spurred rumors of a phantom, has an underground lake, and is all sorts of fancy to boot. This historical building fields 400+ performances per year and was built to be a safe place for the elite to see performances without coming under attack. This was the opera house that spurred the Phantom of the Opera novel. Krys also covers the Rue de Chantres and its gruesome story. Tori goes back to her roots and covers, you guessed it, a cemetery.  Arlington National Cemetery in Fort Myer, VA has long been a draw when you visit Washington D.C. The history of this cemetery tells us that the owners of the grounds before it became the cemetery backed the wrong team. This cemetery has one of the most stringent requirements for burial out of all the national cemeteries. So. Many. Stories. And don't mess with petty quartermasters...Our Sources: Operadeparis.fr, Paris.info.com, Worldstrides.com, Messynessychic.com' Newyorktheaterguide.com, Nytimes.com, Expat-almanac.com, Amyscrypt.com, Peacockplume.fr, Solosophie.com, arlingtontours,com, smithsonianmag.com, nps.gov, arlingtoncememtery.mil, onlyinyourstate.com, panicd.com, seeksghosts.blogspot.comOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.com Support the show

Krysti starts us off with the story of Tippecanoe Place in South Bend, IN. This residence was built by the Studebakers and was one of the fanciest homes in the city at the time. Cue some poor money handling and the property was then sent through a series of owners till it's current iteration as a restaurant today. And what have we learned about old houses that have changed hands many times? You want ghosts…you know the rest. Tori tells a story she has been hinting about for months at this point, The Battle of Sharpsburg, otherwise known as Antietam. This was the single most bloody one day battle of the Civil War and opened the door for Lincoln to enact the Emancipation Proclamation. This battle was absolutely brutal and was technically a draw but it was the battle that sent Gen Robert E Lee hightailing it back down South. Needless to say, the land remembers and seems to make sure that we do too. And of course Tori had to mention the cemetery. Also, the Confederates learned the lesson of not leaving battle plans just lying around.Our Sources: Publichistory.iupui.edu, Tippe.com, Indianahauntedhouses.com, Enterprise.com, Michaelkleen.com, battlefields.org, history.com, nps.gov, militaryghosts.com, ghoststory.co.uk, fhwa.dot.govOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.com Support the show

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode mentions suicides, death, and a mass shooting.Tori leads off with some fun with Horror in the Heartland's odd old newspaper blurbs. Kevin McQueen gives us an interesting obituaries to have fun with, people are weird and do stupid shit. Krysti takes us to Tasmania and Port Arthur. Used as a penal colony, since the US was out of reach for the Brits, this was the scene of harsh punishments for the prisoners. This was also the site of a horrible mass shooting. This was one of the reasons that Australia no longer has issues with guns, wonder why? This location also seems to host a plethora of ghosts that stuck around and remind the folks of the first use of the land. Our Sources: Horror in the Heartland, Portarthur.org.au, Greataustraliansecret.com, Australianconvictsites.org.au, Britannica.com, History.com, Abcnews.go.com, Disovertasmania.com, Thecreativeadventurer.comOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.comSupport the show

The story of the Manresa Castle has all the great backstory a hotel should. Priests, old money family, a curse or two, add in some vacationing nuns and we have all the energy we need to make this a haunted hotel. This beautiful hotel is also attached to the small family graveyard. Krysti picked a good story! Tori went for two lighthouses on opposite shores in the US. Terrible Tilly right off the coast of Astoria, OR is Tori's next story. This piece of rock on the coast was will and a tough way of making a living. There is spooky shit there as well.

Tori gives us the story of the Winchester Mystery House. Sarah Winchester was a remarkable woman in her own right and she lived life the way she wanted and be damned to the naysayers. So many stories about the reason for her incessant building but the truth of the matter is unknown to this day. Sarah took that secret to her grave. Krysti takes up back to the Midwest from San Jose to Madison WI. Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the world's most well known architects. What most folks don't know is the sheer amount and tragedy that happened when he settled in Wisconsin. Murder, mayhem, fires, and a school, this story has it all! Our Sources: atlasobscura.com, legendsofamerica.com, allthatisinteresting.com, biography.com, americanhauntingsink.com, sfgate.com, winchestermysteryhouse.com, nps.gov, thetruthaboutsarahwinchester.com, Graveyard Tales E.205, Taliesinpreservation.org, Franklloydwright.org, Architecturaldigest.com, Wisconsinfrights.comOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.comSupport the show

Okay, so the sound gremlins were back this episode, our bad. This week was rough for both of us. Krys covers Thomas Edison's Spirit Phone. Krysti explains why inventors are weird and that the brilliant ones are even weirder. Thomas Edison brings spiritualism into the fray but it sounds more like aliens/Midichlorians to us. Tori covers Starved Rock State Park in Utica, Illinois. This state park has a long and bloody history even up into present day.

It's two topic Tuesday! In this episode, Krysti and Jonathan will first rank all ten house facades for HHN 31. Afterward, they get to talk to Ashely and Daniel from Tales of Terror Haunted Attraction.

Krysti Henderson of the Chocolate Heaven Company started making cakes for her family and friends as a hobby while working in hospitality. Slowly the company began to grow as she watched 1-2 wholesale accounts blossom into 5 and then 7 (now it's over 100). It sounds like a fairytale story, but on this episode Krysti is sharing the real and often overlooked truth about success. That it's a bumpy road from inception to 7-figures and failures are not the be all, end all. In fact, failure is necessary. A lesson we could all stand to be reminded of!

Krys regales us with the tale of the White River Light in Whitehall Michigan. This lighthouse is currently a maritime museum and not currently in service as a lighthouse. William Robinson was the keeper of the lighthouse and stayed with his family at the location. William was the lighthouse keeper until two weeks before his death when the keeper position was given to his grandson. Shipwrecks were found within the area and William seems to still be in residence at the lighthouse. It also lies within the Michigan Triangle, coincidence? I think not…Tori rounds it out with the tale of Mary King's Close in Edinborough Scotland. This little slice of history is in the middle of Old Town Ediborough and gives insight into the lives of folks from 1645 to 1902 when the last tenant left. Tours still run to this day and has some extra visitors that make their presence know to this day.

Tori starts off with a paranormal hotspot, the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. This is supposedly the most haunted place in the US. Unfortunately like a good majority of psychiatric hospitals, the institution was plagued with tragedies and abuse allegations. The amount of hauntings due to this history is astounding. Krysti tells us about why Hoosiers are weird and some odd goings on to settle a county seat. Leavenworth Indiana  was the county seat and was moved by force into English Indiana. County records and county officials were taken by force to the new county seat of English. Krys dipped into Angola, Indiana and its ghosts just for Tori. Because they got ghosts…Our Sources: atlasobscura.com, dangerousminds.net, trans-alleghenylunaticasylum.com, legendsofamerica.com, theehauntedplaces.com, allthatisinteresting.com, usghostadventures.com, Weird Indiana, Genealogytrails.com, Collections.libraries.indiana.edu,  onlyinyourstate.com, Kpcnews.com, Ghostsofamerica.comOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.com Support the show
