Podcasts about listening hard

Much as I thoroughly enjoy Fabio's "Strength Thru Failure" program on WFMU each week, I was a little concerned during yesterday's fund raising broadcast when the host sought to characterize his audience as "great listeners". Pandering aside, I could not help but wonder, HOW GREAT ARE THEY REALLY? Take this show for instance. I am sure each of you has some remarkable attributes and maybe there's a small percentage that could realistically be called "great". But great listeners? Great at listening? I've been incorporating subliminal messages in The Radio Hour That Feels Like Two Hours for nearly 200 episodes, and not one of you has followed my instructions when it comes to transferring money from your bank account to mine. No one has done my bidding and sought to slay or dismember any of my enemies. If i want snacks I HAVE TO GO TO THE STORE. At best, you're all mediocre listeners, maybe not even that.

Are you listening hard? Most people aren't, and think they are. Did you know that there are actually four parts to listening? And when you learn this skill your coaching will improve dramatically and so will every and any relationship in your life. This skill is essential for all coaches and I would say all human beings. Listen in on today's episode and I'm going to teach you what it requires to listen hard. You will start to see your life dramatically improve by just adding this one tool to your life. Want to integrate more tools like this into your coaching business? And truly be a masterful coach who knows how to help her clients get real lasting results.

Does shame run your life? Jen Pastiloff is the best-selling author of On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard. For years, Jen stuffed down shame around her body, her hearing loss, her depression and anxiety. When she stopped denying her challenges, something wonderful happened. Folks responded to her authenticity. Nowadays, Jen's real. Like unapologetically real. You'll find her on Instagram creating art and doing compassionate acts for other humans – sometimes with spinach in her teeth, and in the same yoga clothes she's worn for days. She refuses to be shackled by shame. And she'll show you how to free yourself too. You'll learn some of the rituals she teaches in her popular workshops, including her morning prayer, and how you can let yourself off the hook before bed, “in case you ended up being a dick today.” Inspiring and radically practical. Hit play and grab your cuppa.   Jen Pastiloff on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenpastiloff/ Her website: https://jenniferpastiloff.com

Have you ever noticed that you mirror the people who are around you? When someone is happy or sad, it's contagious, right? That's called mirroring and it's something we innately do as human beings. It's a way we connect with others and normally it can be super helpful - except when it's not. And it's not helpful when someone is modeling less-than-ideal behavior, like they're yelling for example, and we mirror that. On this week's podcast, I'm talking about how to STOP mirroring other people and to really listen to what they are saying so we stay in control and show up intentionally. These are two tools I have learned that have been GAME-CHANGING for me. Join me! I'll see you there! Xo, Janeen For show notes: www.janeenalley.com/103

Moving Away from Fear Toward an Authentic Life with Jen Pastiloff We should never forget who we are and what we want, even with adversity in our lives. Our purpose and identity are what keep us going. No matter what society tells us about how and who we should be, living an authentic life will bring satisfaction and happiness in our lives. It's time to reflect and ask ourselves if we are living the life we’ve always wanted. And if we find ourselves saying no, may we have the courage to start again and build the life we desire. In this episode, Jen Pastiloff talks to us about the importance of living a life congruent with our true selves and moving away from fear. Discussions on how to prevent ourselves from being paralyzed from fear are essential as we continue to live through a global pandemic and civil unrest. She also talks about how she's helping amplify the voices of the vulnerable sectors of society and why she doesn't believe that everything happens for a reason. If you want to hear tips on how to live an authentic life that’s congruent with who you are, listen to the full episode. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover why you need to live a life congruent with your authentic self. Learn helpful ways to move away from fear. Jen will share with us how she feels radically loved.

Living an authentic life gives you freedom. Just like how gossiping and complaining don't make you feel good and lower your vibration, not living a life congruent with your real self will not bring you happiness. Coping During the COVID-19 Pandemic Due to the pandemic's impacts, Jen had to cancel a lot of her schedule, which prevented her from earning. To cope with the stress, she chose to use her platform to raise money for people suffering from the ongoing health crisis and the Black Lives Matter movement. Doing online workshops also gives her hope during this challenging period. Moving Away from Fear Jen copes with her anxieties by moving her body. Find your people who will hold you accountable and remind you of who you really are. Fear starts to get louder when you're at home all day long. Due to the current state of the world, many people lack human connection, and it adds to the fear they're having. Jen finds the strength within her to jump on new things even though she feels afraid. Jen’s Main Anchor in Life Jen inherited her dad's sense of humor. Learning humor’s value and not taking herself too seriously helped her find balance in her life. Everything is temporary. So Jen encourages everyone to remain grateful for the things they have right now. Her ability to connect with people is also one thing that keeps her on the right path. Does Everything Happen for a Reason? Instead of saying everything happens for a reason, according to Jen, it's much better to find the meaning out of a situation. She doesn't agree that the suffering of other people is something preordained. The phrase “everything happens for a reason” is just a way for people to cope with the discomfort they feel about something. That said, Jen does not invalidate how the phrase provides comfort to religious people or people of faith. Using Her Platform for Social Justice Jen reminds everyone that it doesn't cost anything to be kind and help other people. Helping others feels organic to her. Jen is aware of her privilege as a white woman. So she makes sure she uses her platform to amplify the voices of the people who don't share the same privilege. 5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode [07:11] “All I ever want to be is free, and kind, and various other things, but free, ultimately, from the prison that most of us put ourselves in.” [08:18] “May I have the courage to be who I say I am.”  [22:27] “I know what I'm good at. I'm good at being in a room with 75 or a hundred people in person. But I don't know how this was gonna work. I'm afraid, and I'm doing it anyway.” [23:40] “If it becomes a lifetime of being afraid and not doing it, then you get kind of screwed.” [30:27] “I don't think everything happens for a reason at all. I think that's nonsense. I think that after something happens, we can make meaning out of it sometimes, or art, or find the gift in it.” About Jen Jen Pastiloff is a yoga and wellness teacher and author. Her sold-out workshops all over the world have helped thousands of women feel empowered and stronger. She also founded the online magazine The Manifest-Station.

Jen Pastiloff joins us for a special podcast episode recorded during our online PJ Party held the first weekend of May 2020. Jen is a teacher, leader and author of the amazingly beautiful book "On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard." Jen's story of recovering from disordered eating and depression helps women find, accept, and embrace their own vulnerability, bravery, and humanness. Her work is a celebration of happiness and self-realization over darkness and doubt and an inspiration to live outside the box and to reject the all-too-common belief of “I am not enough.”To learn more about Jen Pastioff: https://www.jenniferpastiloff.com/To learn more about Erin Wickersham: https://erinwickersham.com/To visit the SHE RECOVERS website, click here.SHE RECOVERS Facebook Page, click here.SHE RECOVERS Instagram Page, click here.

Jen Pastiloff, author of On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real and Listening Hard, tells the incredible story of her journey. She believed she was a bad person from the time she was a child and lived with depression and anxiety while slowly losing her hearing. She kept this secret until a moment of awakening that set her on a profoundly different, more open, accepting and joyful path as a writer, teacher and leader. Jen speaks with honesty and clarity about the often rocky road to becoming human. When people ask Jen what she does, how does she like to reply? What has Jen discovered about being human? Jen was close to her Dad. He died when she was 8, what does Jen recall about that day? Jen knew she had a problem but didn't want to let it go. Why? How do we get beyond that facade of "Oh, I'm fine" when we are not? What it feels like to be understood when someone gets you? How did it feel when Jen could say, I can't hear you? Did that help with her shame? Treat everyone with compassion because you don't know How did Jen wait on tables when she could not hear? How Jen learnt to listen What identity did Jen take on as a waitress? How did she see herself in that job? While waiting tables, Jen stopped writing and stopped creating; she felt dead inside. Is this common? Is part of Jen's identity today being an artist? Watching her friend who plays in Snow Patrol is a form of yoga for Jen. Why? Why was Jen so good at teaching yoga? How do we ensure someone feels safe? 5 Post-It note exercises Jen grew up in a land of lack. What's the impact that has on mindset?

First Draft Episode #227: Courtenay Hameister Courtenay Hameister, debut author of memoir Okay Fine Whatever: The Year I Went From Being Afraid of Everything to Only Being Afraid of Most Things, and former host, co-producer and head writer of Live Wire Radio. Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode Books by Beverly Cleary (author of Ramona Quimby, Age 8, Beezus and Ramona, and The Mouse and the Motorcycle) and and Judy Blume (author of Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret, Forever, and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing) and The Crystal Cave series by Mary Stewart were some of Courtenay’s favorites growing up Create More, Fear Less is an organization in Portland Courtenay volunteers with that works with anxious kids While Courtenay went to New York University, she had the chance to work with legendary comedy group The State. The State — made up of Kevin Allison, Michael Ian Black, Robert Ben Garant, Todd Holoubek, Michael Patrick Jann, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Thomas Lennon, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino, Michael Showalter, and David Wain — was formed in 1998 and had a self-titled comedy sketch show on MTV from 1992-1995. You can learn more about the history of the group in The Union of the State by Corey Stulce. Members of The State went on to create Reno 911, which is coming back! “The 7,000 Dollar Pyramid,” is one of The State’s sketches that Courtenay remembers Robert Ben Garant writing Writing Movies For Fun and Profit: How We Made a Billion Dollars at the Box Office, and You Can, Too! by former State members and co-writers Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant The Joan Didion quote Courtenay paraphrases is, “I don't know what I think until I write it down.” Some of Courtenay’s favorite guests from her many years of hosting Live Wire include: comedian, storyteller, director and actor Mike Birbiglia, who is best known for Sleepwalk With Me, which was also a comedy special and a New York Times bestselling book, Sleepwalk with Me and Other Painfully True Stories, and his new comedy special, The New One is also going to be a book, coming out in May 20202, The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad; Carrie Brownstein, guitarist with Sleater-Kinney (who have a new CD in 2019, The Center Won’t Hold), co-creator and writer of TV show Portlandia, and author of memoir Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl; director Todd Haynes (who has directed Velvet Goldmine, Far From Heaven, and this year’s Dark Waters; Cheryl Strayed, author of Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life From Dear Sugar and memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail; and David Rakoff, humorist and author of Fraud: Essays, Don't Get Too Comfortable: The Indignities of Coach Class, The Torments of Low Thread Count, The Never- Ending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems Courtenay’s friend Daniel H. Wilson wrote Robopocalypse: A Novel (which was optioned by Steven Spielberg, but after some delays has now been thrown over to Michael Bay) was the one who introduced Courtenay to his agent, Laurie Fox, who is an author in her own right, of The Lost Girls: A Novel and My Sister From the Black Lagoon: A Novel of My Life. Jean Garnett at Little, Brown was Courtenay’s editor Courtenay super recommends Sleepwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer (and, oh my god, would you look at that, he also has a TED talk!) The Oprah and James Frey controversy which exploded over his memoir, A Million Little Pieces, is an inevitable reference point for a conversation about what “truth” means in the memoir category Courtenay’s recommendation for David Carr’s memoir, Night of the Gun: A Reporter Investigates the Darkest Story of His Life. His Own, was so persuasive that I bought the audiobook that night! I admit to being a complete comedy nerd, and having recently mightily enjoyed John Hodgman’s collection of personal essays, Medallion Status: True Stories From Secret Rooms. Jennifer Pastiloff (author of On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard) and Lidia Yuknavitch (author of memoir The Chronology of Water and Verge: Stories, out Feb. 4, 2020!) teach a class called “Writing and the Body” that incorporates yoga and writing to enrich personal stories. Humor writer Steve Almond, author of Bad Stories: What Just Happened to Our Country? and William Stoner and the Battle For the Inner Life: Bookmarked. Writers Samantha Irby (author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life: Essays, Meaty: Essays and omg she has a new one coming out this year, Wow, No Thank You!) and Jenny Lawson, aka The Blogess (author of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir and Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things), were bloggers before they had books, and they indicate the kind of conversational writing style that Courtenay tends to naturally align with in her writing Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2009 TED Talk, “Your Elusive Creative Genius” Dan Harris, author of 10% Happier Revised Edition: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story, and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking and her TED talk on the subject of introverts Courtenay admires Michael Ian Black’s evolution as a writer. Especially significant to her was his honesty in the memoir Navel Gazing: True Stories of Bodies, Mostly Mine (But Also My Mom’s, Which I Know Sounds Weird). His newest book, A Better Man, tackles toxic masculinity in the form of letters to his son as he goes off to college. I have always dreamt of being able to link to an article about Jeff Bezos’s dick pics (just kidding but here we go): this incident was wild - The National Enquirer allegedly tried to blackmail Jeff Bezos, threatening to release intimate pictures of him unless he paid up. Instead, Bezos released the pics himself and told them to screw off. It was wild. It was great. That incident calls to mind So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson “To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This,” the Modern Love essay by Mandy Len Catron, references Dr. Arthur Aron’s study, which included 36 questions to generate intimacy. (And hey, look at that, Mandy has TED talks about love stories, too!) I want to hear from you! Have a question about writing or creativity for Sarah Enni or her guests to answer?

"No one is advocating putting mediocre photographers forward just because they're diverse," Tara Pixley told us at a recent interview at Photoville 2019 in Brooklyn. Tara and Mengwen Cao – two board members of Authority Collective – stopped by to talk about their mission to help support, educate and promote women and non-binary photographers in what has historically been a white male-dominated profession.In this wide-ranging episode of Vision Slightly Blurred, Sarah and Allen (mostly Allen) learn some of the ridiculous and challenging situations that minorities contend with on a daily basis while simply trying to do their job of taking photos, and why diversity matters when telling a story through mass media.

What do you say to a friend or family member that is hurting? Whether it be from illness, grief, miscarriage, infertility or any of the other ups and downs we can come across in life, there are moments when we just don’t quite have the words to say to comfort our loved ones. Today I am speaking with Emily McDowell, a writer, illustrator, speaker and teacher who after overcoming cancer and losing a friend to cancer a short time later, decided to bring a product to market that would help both the person on the giving and receiving end. Emily created stationery products that would help express what people are feeling but don’t know how to put into words. We talk about her business and why she merged with another company. She also shares what she does when she is in a creative rut and why she takes the time to focus on self-care.    What’s in this episode: Emily’s experience of going to a breath work camp The main takeaways that Emily took from her experience Recognizing that you’re not responsible for other people’s happiness Listening to our bodies when they tell us to stop Navigating through her illness and feeling disconnected from others How cancer gave Emily a unique perspective of the world Feeling like sympathy cards didn’t express what she wanted to say Why she decided to get back into journaling What Emily does when she’s stuck in a creative rut Deciding to merge with another company Being reactive rather than proactive in her business Creating meaningful work  Taking the time to focus on self-care Emily’s advice on doing what you dream about  Being mindful and keeping what makes life beautiful to her a priority   About Emily: Emily McDowell is a writer, illustrator, speaker, teacher, and entrepreneur who is fiercely committed to not doing all of those things at the same time. After spending a decade working in advertising, she founded Emily McDowell Studio in January 2013. In January of 2019, Emily McDowell Studio officially changed names to Emily McDowell & Friends to reflect their expansion into partnerships with other artists and writers.   Emily’s work has been featured by The New York Times, Good Morning America, NBC Nightly News, BBC News, and NPR's All Things Considered, among many others, and in 2015, she was named one of Slate's 10 Designers Who Are Changing the World. Her first book, There Is No Good Card For This: What To Say and Do When Life Gets Scary, Awful, and Unfair To People You Love, co-authored with Dr. Kelsey Crowe, was released on January 2017.   Emily currently serves as an equity partner and SVP of strategy at the Who’s There Group, while remaining creative director/founder of Emily McDowell & Friends. She lives in Los Angeles with her family and various half-dead plants.   Connect with Emily: Website | Personal Instagram | Business Instagram   Links: Knock Knock On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard by Jennifer Pastiloff   I would love to hear from you!

On this month’s theme of adventure, we’ll be taking a look at lifestyles! Specifically, following your intuition — you know, that little voice inside your head telling you what you probably should do, but you don’t entirely know whether to trust it or not. It’s important to remember that adventure can mean traveling and going on these incredible trips… but it also can happen between your own two ears.   Our guest today (and good friend), Jennifer Pastiloff, has definitely followed this little voice of hers! She travels the world, guiding people through her unique hybrid of yoga-related movement, helping them manifest their dreams and embrace their imperfections! When she’s not traveling the world, she’s spending time with her husband and son, in their home in Los Angeles. She has also started a really cool Instagram called, @NoBullshitMotherhood, all about raw parenting and the honest-to-god sh*t show it can sometimes be. And her recently published book, On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard, shares the story of her life and how she grew into the exuberant woman she was meant to be all along by battling the demons within and winning.   Today you’re in for a real treat with Jennifer! We talk about so many different aspects — from pain and shadows to growth and change. The many turns in her life have been incredibly unexpected, but also incredibly profound and valuable. She shares about all that life has thrown at her, how she has adapted to the unexpected, how her career has developed and unfolded, and how to pay attention to the good sh*t and appreciate your wins.   In this conversation, we love how she paralleled the way that we are vulnerable in our relationship with how she is vulnerable in her own struggles with her anxiety, depression, and hearing loss. We hope you listen to today’s episode and ask yourself the same questions she asked herself in her biggest times of growth: In what ways are you blocking yourself from opportunity and growth? And what are the things that can actually make you really happy even if they don’t fit the regular script that society hands us?   Topics Discussed: [:35] About today’s episode with our good friend, Jennifer Pastiloff.

Rich and Josh discuss old shirts, feeling free, belly button food, sympathetic responses, loving it, glimmers of hope, sludgy and crunchy guitars, going back through them all, good crops, focus, really good high school bands, together holding hands on the edge, holding onto that swan’s neck, flatscreen TVs, divorcing before death, the same cut twice, booking ahead of time, scheduling a crisis, time-travelling, perfectionism, one-upping Zuckerberg, foam fingers, immersion therapy, treading water, being overwhelmed with happiness, looking more like a turtle, and Neil Young's Living with War.Next time: Chrome Dreams II

Jennifer welcomes to the podcast author, yoga teacher and inspirational human, Jen Pastiloff. Jen’s forthcoming memoir, On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real and Listening Hard, chronicles her incredible journey in a way no other medium could. In addition to being an accomplished author, Jen runs a unique workshop, a hybrid of yoga-related movement, writing, sharing aloud, and the occasional dance party. Jen is a frequent contributor to SHAPE Magazine and has been featured on Good Morning America, New York Magazine, Health Magazine, CBS News and others for her unique teaching style. She also runs global retreats where she aims to help women to heal, connect deeply, and find peace. In this episode, Jen opens up about her struggles with depression and the impact of losing her father at a young age. She talks openly about how these trying experiences shaped her into the person she is today. Jen’s mission in life is to spread love to those in need of love. It is in that spirit that Jen raises funds for scholarships to her retreats so women who are struggling can find a moment of respite. Jen also opens up about her deafness and the challenges she faces every day. Finally, Jen speaks to the importance of having a good sense of humor and the power of paying it forward.
