In a recent episode of Dads with Daughters, we delve into the multifaceted journey of fatherhood with guest Travis Hawkley, a father of three vibrant daughters aged 17, 13, and 9. The episode is a treasure trove of insights, real-life anecdotes, and practical advice for fathers striving to be the best dads they can be.  Embracing Each Child's Unique Needs One of the central themes of the conversation is the importance of treating each child as an individual. Travis shares how his middle daughter faced anxiety around dance recitals. Despite her love for dancing, the pressure to perform became overwhelming. Instead of insisting she fit into a conventional dance class, Travis and his wife found a non-performing dance class that allowed their daughter to continue her passion without the stress of recitals. This decision underscores Travis's belief in accommodating each child's unique needs rather than imposing one-size-fits-all expectations. Travis's approach to parenting is a thoughtful balance of supporting his daughters' independence while providing the guidance and resources they need to explore their interests. The key is to avoid making his daughters feel like they need to prioritize his feelings over their own, thereby fostering a sense of independence and self-driven choices. The Power of Curiosity and Engagement Travis advocates for a parenting style rooted in curiosity and engagement. He emphasizes the importance of initiating conversations and asking open-ended questions to understand each child's interests and aspirations. This approach not only strengthens the parent-child bond but also empowers children to express themselves freely. Supporting their interests doesn't have to be costly. Travis suggests starting with low-cost activities to gauge their passion. For example, his oldest daughter's interest in stagecraft was nurtured with encouragement and opportunities to explore theater, even without a clear career path in mind. The support allowed her to pursue her passion without fear of failure. Travis shares that his most successful moments as a father are when his daughters approach him with difficult questions, showcasing their trust and openness. This trust is built through consistent engagement and letting children guide conversations, ensuring they feel heard and valued. Overcoming Limiting Beliefs A significant part of Travis's parenting philosophy is fostering a positive growth mindset. He underscores the importance of helping children overcome limiting beliefs—self-imposed barriers that can hinder their potential. Drawing from his own experience, Travis recalls how being praised for his test-taking skills became a limiting belief, leading him to put less effort into his studies. It was only through conscious effort that he deconstructed this belief to succeed academically later in life. Travis applies these lessons to his children, particularly regarding their future aspirations. His oldest daughter, for instance, feels uncertain about her post-high school plans amidst societal pressure to have a clear career path. Travis reassures her by sharing his varied career experiences and emphasizes the importance of flexibility and openness to change. He encourages her to consider non-traditional career paths, like becoming an electrician while indulging her theater interests, highlighting the value of adaptability in today's world. Inspiration and Influence Travis draws inspiration from his daughters and their interactions, finding joy and motivation in their growth. His parenting style is also influenced by his parents—his mother encouraged exploration and trying new things, while his father, despite different interests, provided a model of support and care. This blend of influences has shaped Travis's motto: "Love wastefully." He emphasizes that love is an inexhaustible resource and advocates for loving fully and unconditionally. This philosophy extends to self-love and maintaining a balance between work and personal fulfillment. Conclusion In his conversation with Dr. Christopher Lewis, Travis Hawkley showcases a profound and nuanced approach to fatherhood. By treating each child as an individual, fostering curiosity, and helping them overcome limiting beliefs, Travis exemplifies the values of love and support that are crucial in raising strong, independent daughters. His journey reminds us that being present, engaged, and adaptable are key components of fatherhood. As Travis encourages, let's all strive to "love wastefully" and support our children's journeys without reservation.       TRANSCRIPT (Unedited transcript created through CASTMAGIC) Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:00:05]: Welcome to dads with daughters. In this show, we spotlight dads, resources, and more to help you be the best dad you can be. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:00:16]: Welcome back to the dads with daughters podcast where we bring you guests to be active participants in your daughters' lives, raising them to be strong, independent women. Really excited to have you back again this week. Every week, I love being able to walk on this journey with you because, you know, it is a journey. All of us are on a journey together in trying to raise our daughters. Whether you have a brand new newborn at home or you have college age kids, you're always going to be a father And you're always going to have to do what you can to continue to learn to grow and to be present, to be active and to be able to be there to help your kids to continue to become the people that they're becoming. And we can't do that alone. There are so many other dads that are out there that have walked this path prior to us, are walking side by side with us, and men don't always do a great job of talking to one another. That may not be a surprise to you, but it's true. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:01:15]: And it's important for us to understand that we have resources in our own community and beyond that can help us to be even better dads. So that's why this podcast exists. This podcast exists to help you to be that active dad that you wanna be, but also to give you some tools for your toolbox and to open up your mind to different ways of doing things because there's no one right way to father. You can do it in so many different ways, but you can learn from other dads too. That's why every week I bring you different guests, different people with different experiences that can help you along that journey. And today we got another great dad with us. Travis Hockley is with us today. And Travis is a father of 3 girls. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:01:58]: He has 3 girls that are 17, 13, and 9. So he's right in the thick of it and working to help his daughters to prepare them to be grown and flown. He's got one that's gonna graduate this year. So it is a definite process. And I'm really looking forward to talking with him today about his own journey and to share that journey with you as well. Travis, thanks so much for being here today. Travis Hawkley [00:02:24]: Thank you, Christopher. I appreciate it. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:02:25]: It is my pleasure. I thank you for being here. And we always start our interviews with an opportunity to kind of turn the clock back in time. I love being able to do that. I said you have 3 girls and your oldest is 17. So I'm gonna go back. Maybe it's 18 years. Maybe it's 17 and a half years, you know, but I wanna know what was your first reaction? What was that first reaction that you had when you found out that you were going to be a father to a daughter? Travis Hawkley [00:02:52]: You know, I I've listened to a few episodes of the podcast and have talked to a lot of other dads. And I've noticed that a lot of dads were pretty fearful, terrified, apprehensive about having a daughter. And, honestly, I didn't feel that. I think I probably would have felt more terrified had it been having a boy. And that comes from any number of things. But growing up, I didn't I guess I didn't ever, like, identify a whole lot with a lot of the, like, quote, unquote, stereotypical guy things. Wasn't a huge fan of sport. Didn't really like a lot of that stuff. Travis Hawkley [00:03:25]: I liked art. I liked music. I liked the things that are unfortunately labeled as stereotypically female. And so when we were starting to have kids and I found out I was having a girl, that to me just it felt right. It felt normal. It felt natural. I was like, alright. I I can do this. Travis Hawkley [00:03:43]: And as you mentioned, I have 3. And every time, you know, went through that process and found out I was having another girl, I was just excited. And then after we had our 3rd, someone said, well, are you gonna try for a 4th and see if you can get that boy? And I thought to myself and I'm like, okay. Well, statistically speaking, if we have another one, it's probably gonna be a girl too because that's just the way that that works in in a lot of cases. But I was like, you know, I know girls. I'm a good girl dad. I I know what I'm doing at this point in time. You know, if I were to have a boy, that would really kinda throw things off a little bit. Travis Hawkley [00:04:16]: You know, if if we were to have another one, which we didn't. But having a girl would probably be another great thing. So I didn't really feel that apprehension. I I loved it, and I've loved every minute of being a a girl dad. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:04:26]: It's definitely a journey and definitely something you have to learn about. I relate to what you said in regards to growing up. I was much more on the music, the choir, the theater, the the things that were not the let's watch basketball, baseball, football, you know, being on the sports teams and things like that. And not to say that there's anything wrong with that, but Nope. That I think that I would have probably felt similar if I had had a son and being able to understand, okay, what do I have to do to be able to understand where they are going to be coming from? Because their journey may be different than mine. But at the same time, I guess I have to think about that as a father to a daughter too, because their journey is definitely different than mine. And I have to realize that and be open to that as well. Now you said that you didn't really feel fear when your children were born. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:05:20]: As your kids have gotten older, as they've gone through the different phases and stages, and you have one that's getting ready to be in her last year of high school, and then you've got younger ones as well. What would you say has been your biggest fear throughout their lives that you've had to deal with? Travis Hawkley [00:05:35]: I think one of the biggest things that I have been fearful of really has less to do with them and more to do with me as a father of I didn't want to put expectations on my kids in such a way that would cause them to maybe count my feelings as more important than their own. I didn't want them to ever think, oh, if I don't do this, I'm gonna disappoint my dad. That was never something that I wanted them to feel. And I feel like my parents did a really good job of that as well. So that was you know, it wasn't something that that was I was trying to go against how I was raised. I feel like my parents did a great job, but I just I didn't want them to go through life thinking that what I thought was more important than what they wanted to do. So I think that's probably has been and still is my biggest fear. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:06:28]: Now you have 3 daughters, all at very different ages, completely different parts of their life in how they relate to you, probably how they relate to each other. And once you bring more than one child in the mix, you have to deal with a lot of the connections and you have to be able to do what you can as a father to be able to build those unique relationships with each of your kids because each of your children are always going to be very different than one another. That being said, as you think about the journey that you've been on with your daughters, what have you had to do to be able to build those unique relationships with each of your daughters to be able to allow you to understand them better, but also allow for them to be able to connect better with you? Travis Hawkley [00:07:15]: Yeah. That's a fantastic question. And we definitely spread them out. I mean, they're all 4 years apart in school. So my oldest is currently in her will will be entering her senior year of high school, which means that my middle child is 13. She'll be entering her 8th grade year, and then my youngest will be entering her 4th grade year. So they are never in the same school at the same time, except for, like, 1 year in elementary school. So it really has been very different to get to know them and parent them because they aren't. Travis Hawkley [00:07:46]: They're not in a similar life position at all, which has been really interesting and fascinating. For each one of them, I mean, it has been really nice. It was really nice with my oldest, for example, because she was 4 by the time her sister was born. So I had a lot of time. And at that point in time, I was teaching and going to school. So I had a lot of extra time that I could spend with her. So she and I kind of, I mean, grew up together. We learned a lot from each other. Travis Hawkley [00:08:13]: We'd go to the library at any time that we wanted to. You know, all the things that we wanted to do, we just kinda did, which was nice. And she, personality wise, is a lot like her mom. And so she and I got along really well. When my second child came along, she was very much personality wise like me, and we did not mesh at all. And so it was really, really difficult to between the ages of maybe 25, we just butted heads constantly. And it was really, really rough. I really feared so I guess here's one thing I did fear. Travis Hawkley [00:08:46]: I really feared that she and I would never really be able to connect. And I knew deep down that that likely wasn't going to be the case, that we just kinda had to figure each other out. And I think where we finally did learn how to connect was once I kinda took away those expectations at the beginning. And I did have certain expectations on my kids even though I attempted not to. I expected her to act a certain way, and she wasn't gonna act that way. And that had nothing to do with parenting, had everything to do with just her innate personality. And once I figured out how to let that go and accept her personality and and accept her feelings and accept who she was, we were able to connect. And now she's probably the most like me, and she and I could connect perfectly well. Travis Hawkley [00:09:34]: So, yeah, there definitely have been challenges with each one to kinda get to know them. And I think for me, it's been finding their thing. So my oldest was, for example I mean, we're all readers just because I'm a reader, so reading's just always been a thing. But my oldest was really, like, a reader. She would just pour through books, and she and I connect in that way. My middle child, not as much of a reader, but she really likes movement and dance and things like that. So she and I have been able to connect through that. My youngest, she more likes movies and other things. Travis Hawkley [00:10:10]: So it's been a lot of spending time together to discover what each one of them likes and trying to make sure that I connect with them on that, but also just kind of being curious. I think for me, the the biggest thing as a dad is being curious about what it is that they are interested in at the moment and giving that my attention and helping them to figure out what they're interested in. And by doing that, I've been able to keep them interested, keep them coming to me. They feel like they can come to me with anything. They're not gonna get pushed away. My oldest was in 8th grade, so this is three and a half years ago now, probably. My oldest was trying to kinda figure out what she was gonna do in high school, you know, her courses for high school. She didn't know exactly what she wanted to do. Travis Hawkley [00:10:54]: And she came to me, and she's like, what if I did theater? And I was like, I I think that's fascinating. I think you'd be really good at that. And she's like, well, I don't wanna act. She's like, what if I did stagecraft? And I could tell that she was maybe a little bit apprehensive to go to her mom about it because her mom wanted her to do certain things. And when she came to me, and she brought it up and was really excited about it, I was like, well, let's let's look into it. Let's kinda figure it out. We love going to musicals, so being around with really amazing sets and that lifestyle, whatever, was something that we were into, and she has run with it. So now she runs the soundboard for all the musicals and the plays, and she's a stage manager. Travis Hawkley [00:11:32]: So she does all this really cool stuff, and she's starting to do a community. So something that she was just really kind of interested in, didn't really know, she and I were able to connect on and kind of turn that into something that might continue, might end up being a potential career path for her as well. So Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:11:48]: Love that because there are so many different career paths that you can take, and sometimes you go down one pathway that can spark an interest, spark a light, and can open up a door for something completely different than you thought. And so I commend you for encouraging her in that way. And, you know, one of the things that I think that that really makes me think about is the fact that I think that many women today, and I've seen this in my own daughters, whether it be society or people around them, there have been things that make them feel that they're limited, that they have these limiting beliefs that hold them back from achieving their full potential. I said, I've seen this in my own daughters and we've had to have many conversations and and really trying to unpack that for ourselves. And I know in talking to you, you said you've had some similar things that you've been doing with your own daughters to be able to help them and to really make them think in different ways. I guess I'd be interested to better understand where did you start seeing that in your own daughters? And what did you have to start putting in place to try to unpack that for your daughters so that they were willing to not only hear you, but then be willing to act on what you were trying to instill in them? Travis Hawkley [00:13:03]: So I think in order to kind of unpack that, I've got to go back to my own childhood and look at all of the one of the things that has been pretty constant in my life, and I think in most of our lives, has changed. So when I was 12 years old, my family moved from Fort Worth, Texas to Boise, Idaho, and that was a huge change. And then when I was 18, I went and lived in Russia for a semester to teach English to little kids at a kindergarten in Russia as a kind of a volunteer experience. And I lived for a couple years in Spain, and then I went to school, and I moved around a lot. I became a teacher. I taught at the college level, ESL and Spanish at a college level mostly. And so I have gone through a lot of changes where I've had to confront a lot of my own limiting beliefs and kind of deconstruct those. Living outside of the country is a fantastic way to butt up against those things that you have that are gonna limit you. Travis Hawkley [00:13:54]: I remember multiple occasions when I lived in Russia. I was 18 years old. I didn't know anything, you know, about life in the real world. And there I was in all these situations where the things that I had grown up with, the beliefs that I had grown up with were being pushed back against by people who believed in a completely different way. And, you know, I found that I could go one of 2 ways. I could either fight back against them and try to hold on to the things that I thought were right, or I could examine those beliefs and figure out where they could change and how I could become different, how I could help make those beliefs work for me. And so I started regularly through all these insane life changes, examine these beliefs, and try and figure out where they come from, and why were they there, and how were they causing me to act in a certain way. And so I I started in my head, just as as you were talking about, and I started calling them limiting beliefs. Travis Hawkley [00:14:49]: And as I was teaching so I had one particular job where I worked at a career college in Tucson, Arizona. And my job was specifically to help people who were getting back into school. So most of them had been out of college for a while. They were coming back to school at 25, 30. I think the oldest student that I had was 63 who were coming back to a career college to try and do something different. Now a lot of these students had been not great students when they were in school before. They'd either had not finished high school, they never finished their diploma or GED, or had gotten their GED by the skin in their teeth, had been told by their teachers that they weren't good students, that they were never going to amount to anything. And they were coming back to school because they needed a way out. Travis Hawkley [00:15:31]: They needed to change their lives. And they saw education as being that way, that thing that was going to help them. And so the class that I taught focused on 3 different things. Academic study skills, number 1, super important. They wanted to make sure that they could actually do school. Also, career exploration skills. So we, you know, did resume writing and interview questions and that type of thing, which was really fun. But then the 3rd piece was mindset. Travis Hawkley [00:15:55]: It was looking at helping them figure out how to have a positive growth mindset moving forward. And that was where I really, really, really so at at that point in time, my oldest was 2, maybe 3 years old when I got that job. And so it was a really great time for me to have that job, that experience because it really helped me to flush out to see these people going through this experience of deconstructing actively, harshly these ideas that they had grown up with and had had since they were really young. And so it it taught me to be very cognizant of what I was putting on my kids. I didn't want them to have any beliefs that were going to stop them, that were going to limit them. I wanted them to grow up free of those things. And, you know, that's hard, and I'm idealistic for me to say, oh, I didn't want them to have any sort of beliefs that we're going to limit them. But I think depending on how you view any belief could be a bit a limiting belief. Travis Hawkley [00:17:00]: But I think what it really boils down to is helping them to be able to overcome, any belief that they find that might be getting in the way. One of the things and I and I always liked to share this one when it came to my teaching experience as well. When I was in 1st grade, I had a very little white haired grandmotherly type first grade teacher. Her name was missus Cox. She was fantastic. Both my my older brother and older sister had had her as well. So I was the 3rd of me and my siblings to have her. And she told me when I was in 1st grade that I was really, really good at taking tests and that I was gonna be really successful in school because I was really good at taking tests. Travis Hawkley [00:17:36]: Now that sounds like it's a wonderful thing, except that as I got older, and mostly into high school and college was where I really saw this, I felt like I was really good at taking tests and didn't need to study all that much because I was good at taking tests. And so it was really difficult. I mean, I did really well on tests, period. I mean, I I was great at taking tests, but I didn't put in the work to really make a lot of that knowledge last. So even something that seems like it's a positive can potentially limit you in certain ways. And once I figured that out, when I was in college, I was probably in my junior year of college. By the time I kinda figured that out, then I had to go through process of deconstructing that and figuring out how to go about doing the rest of my education without having that be a problem. So when it comes to my girls, I try to make sure that they know that any belief that they have, we can go about modifying it or changing it. Travis Hawkley [00:18:31]: Or we can figure out how to work within that belief if it's causing problems to what they wanna do. I'll give an example. My my 13 year old is a dancer. And probably maybe 4 years ago, she came to me, and she was having a hard time a lot with, like, recovery when it came to how she was able to do her dance practices and her workouts and things like that. She wanted to get better. And at that point in time, I had done a lot of diet and lifestyle changes. I've had kind of figured out some things, and I made some suggestions to her. And I said, you certainly don't have to do this, but you wanted to kind of adopt this lifestyle that I have. Travis Hawkley [00:19:10]: I feel like you might benefit from this. And she was like, well, I'll certainly give it a try even though it was different from the way the rest of the family ate, except for myself, of course, and was way different from the way most of her friends led their lives. And she was able to adopt that lifestyle and was able to make a lot of really interesting changes when it came to her her dance. She was able to recover lots faster. She was able to, you know, just get better by leaps and bounds. Where before, she was, you know, very incrementally getting better. Now she was exponentially getting better. And she's an amazing dancer now where had she had she not made those changes, you know, who knows? So it's interesting to look at, and not that she was eating bad before, but just for the lifestyle that she wanted, adopting a different belief system led her to be able to do that. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:20:13]: So that was your oldest that you were just talking about. And right? Travis Hawkley [00:20:18]: Middle child. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:20:18]: Okay. So talk to me about what so that was your middle child that you were talking about. So what has been the the, what's been the reaction as you've had these conversations with your youngest and your oldest? Travis Hawkley [00:20:37]: So about that specifically or about, you know, just in in general about things that they like to do? Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:20:44]: About the limiting beliefs and and things that limit them and hold them back. Travis Hawkley [00:20:48]: Yeah. So my oldest, I think the thing that has been the most prevalent recently is, as you mentioned, she will be graduating from high school next year. And her biggest thing on her mind is what she's gonna do after. And she has had this problem for years, probably since she was in the 7th grade, where she felt like her friends all knew what they were gonna do. They all already had their life plan out. I'm gonna be a doctor. I'm gonna be a whatever. I'm gonna do this. Travis Hawkley [00:21:13]: And she had no idea. She did not know what she wanted to do, and that was really frustrating to her because she didn't have one thing that she found to be really, really interesting. And I told her that. I'm like, that's not a problem at all. But she saw it as one because society was telling her that she should know what she wanted to do when she grew up. We asked that question to kids all the time. What do you wanna be when you grow up? And she felt like she should know, and she did. And that was really, really hard. Travis Hawkley [00:21:39]: And I made sure to point out to her how many different things I had gone through. Yes. I was a teacher, but I taught so many different things. And I taught at a university. I taught at a community college. I taught at the career college. I wasn't when we when I moved back to Boise about 10 years ago, I wasn't able to find a job in education. I got a job as a sales guy at an IT company. Travis Hawkley [00:21:59]: I didn't know anything about sales. I didn't know anything about IT. And I got that job, and I was able to make it work. And I was interested, and I was curious. And so I have I walked her through all those different things that I've gone through in my life and said, you might choose one thing that you're gonna do in your college career, and that's gonna change anyway. Most people nowadays, at least, do not start out with one thing and stay doing that one thing for the rest of their life. And if they do, that's awesome. That's because they've been able to stick with it, be interested in it. Travis Hawkley [00:22:28]: That's something that is great for them. I'm like, but not everybody's like that. You get to figure out what you're like, and you get to figure out how you wanna proceed. And that's something that has been kind of interesting because her mom is very much set on her going the route of the traditional 4 year bachelor's degree education going through and and doing that process and getting a job that way. And my daughter doesn't want to. She has talked about becoming an electrician. And using that, coupled with the theater experience that she was talking about before, setting up sound systems, microphone systems she wants to continue to work at. She's currently volunteering at a small playhouse here, being a stage manager, doing sets, doing sound, and she's been able to find something that she feels she's going to be able to do for a while. Travis Hawkley [00:23:17]: And we've had conversations about what happens when that changes. What happens when she becomes interested in something else and doesn't wanna keep doing that? And I think in a lot of cases, most people get into that sort of situation and they feel stuck. How am I gonna change? How am I gonna do this? That sunk cost fallacy of being like, I've already put in this much time and effort. I can't switch. I can't do something different. And so that's kind of been a conversation a lot recently with my oldest. My youngest, you know, really hasn't hit a lot of those yet being only 9. But I think the one most recently, she followed in her just oldest sister, my middle child's footsteps, and went into dance. Travis Hawkley [00:23:54]: And she found herself getting kind of anxious about performing in dance recitals. And she didn't really know what it was when she was, like, 5 or 6 years old. She just kind of didn't think that she really liked being up in front of people, but she didn't really know what was going on. And just this last year, she came to us, and she said she's like, I wanna keep dancing. She's like, I just don't wanna keep performing. Can I do that? Is that okay? And, of course, that's okay. We just had to get her into the right dance class. We found dance classes that worked where she was able to do the dance classes and learn routines and learn skills, but she didn't have to perform in front of people. Travis Hawkley [00:24:36]: That's just not something that she is interested in doing where my 13 year old loves it, thrives on that. And so for my kids, it's that each one of them is so different. Lumping them all into one expectation and saying, well, because we want this for you or we want this for the other, you all have to do the same thing. That's ridiculous. I've been able to help each one of them in unique ways to kind of find their own way forward. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:25:02]: Now as you think about other dads that are out there that are listening to this and want to start having these conversations with their own conversations with their own daughters. Is there advice that you might have for them in regards to how to start? Travis Hawkley [00:25:14]: I think being curious about your kids is one of the main ways. And especially if you notice your kids struggling in a certain way or trying to live up to some standard that they're not sure where it came from, be curious. Be engaged. Just start the conversation. You know? Hey. What are you interested in now? What is something that I don't know about you? What is something that you're interested in that, that I might be interested in? Teach me about something. Tell me about what's important to you. And I know that's hard. Travis Hawkley [00:25:49]: I mean, I I feel like I've done a good job from the beginning of keeping engaged with my girls. I've never really had to fight to keep their attention or to get their attention. But really that is born from I've always done this. I've always been interested. I've always been engaged. I'm a lifelong learner. I was a teacher, so I'm interested in everything. And so it was easy for me to kind of step in and say, well, what do you want to do? Let's explore that. Travis Hawkley [00:26:13]: And every time that my kids, within reason, every time that my kids wanted to try something, I was all for it. I was like, alright. Let's go. Let's do this. And I made sure that they knew if it was something that there was gonna be a lot of cost, I was like, let's find a low cost way to do this just in case it does stick. And at the moment that it sticks, we'll go all in. We can buy all the things. We can do all the whatever. Travis Hawkley [00:26:33]: But I wanna make sure that it's something that you're really interested in. Then when it is, great. Let's go. And so I think, again, just kind of boiling that down. Be engaged. Be curious. You've gotta spend time with your kids. You've gotta give them that time, and you've gotta let them take over and kinda steer those conversations. Travis Hawkley [00:26:53]: Having those expectations of, oh, my kids should be this way. My kids need to do this. That's gonna lead to your kids. In some cases, they're they're gonna thrive on that. They're gonna be okay. And in others, that's not gonna be who they are, and they're gonna have a hard time. But getting to know your kids, asking them open ended questions, and just, again, being curious, being engaged, I think is is probably the best advice I could give. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:27:15]: We always finish our interviews with what I like to call our fatherhood 5, where I ask you 5 more questions to delve deeper into you as a dad. Are you ready? Travis Hawkley [00:27:22]: I'm ready. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:27:22]: In one word, what is fatherhood? Travis Hawkley [00:27:24]: Love.  Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:27:25]: When was the time that you finally felt like you succeeded at being a father to a daughter? Travis Hawkley [00:27:28]: I think it comes mostly from every time they come to me with a question that I know was difficult for them to approach with me. Knowing that they feel my love and openness to where they could come to me, I think that's when I feel the most successful. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:27:47]: Now if I was to talk to your daughters, how would they describe you as a dad? Travis Hawkley [00:27:50]: I'm I'm sure all sorts of colorful words would come around. I'm I'm definitely not a normal person in a lot of ways. They would probably describe me as being funny and weird and being really energetic, and they would probably use the word engaged too. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:28:06]: Now who inspires you to be a better dad? Travis Hawkley [00:28:08]: I mean, my girls definitely inspire me to be a better dad. I mean, on a daily basis, when I'm playing with them, when I'm talking to them, I just I want to be the best type of dad that I can. My own dad was a huge influence on me. He was great. We didn't necessarily have the same interests. He was very much the sports is sports guy, loves to watch sports, and yet he still found ways to connect with me, which was fantastic. And so he definitely helped my mom. Another great example, not a dad, but she was an example of a great parent. Travis Hawkley [00:28:41]: She was interested. She loved to help me, you know, explore new things. She taught me how to cook when I was really young. She a lot of things that I find interesting kinda came from her. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:28:52]: Now you've given a lot of piece of advice today, a lot of things that you've learned along the way with your 3 daughters. As you think about dads that are listening, what's one piece of advice you'd wanna give to every dad? Travis Hawkley [00:29:04]: For sure. I have a motto, and it's actually painted on my wall in my house in letters that are probably a foot and a half tall. And it's probably about, you know, 8 feet long. And it says love wastefully. And it comes from a guy named John Shelby Spong, and he talks about just loving in such a way that we just give everything, that we just love with everything that we have. And that has been you know, I only discovered that maybe, like, a year and a half ago, that freezing. But I noticed as I kinda look back on my life, I I really have tried to adopt that in a lot of ways, whether it comes to dealing with my kids, dealing with other people, dealing with myself. As a dad, I think it is really hard for me to love myself in a lot of ways because of the stresses of being a dad. Travis Hawkley [00:29:55]: It's hard to be a dad. You're worried not only about providing for your family. You're worried about, am I connecting with my kids? Am I being a good dad? Am I being a good husband? Am I being everything that I need to be a good provider? There's so much stress around being a dad. Loving yourself can be really, really tough. But giving yourself that love and that curiosity towards yourself too, finding the things that you want to do that you find to be interesting. For a really long time, I was just focused on providing a paycheck for my family, and that was solid. Every dad wants to be able to do that. It was harming my mental health in a lot of ways. Travis Hawkley [00:30:33]: And so I recently, within the last year, have started my own business as a life transition coach, helping people to do that, which is directly born from my experience as an educator, as a teacher. I'd already been doing that. And so taking that upon myself and realizing this was going to be not as lucrative right at the beginning, but was going to be more fulfilling has helped me to be a better provider still, has helped me to be a better dad, has helped me to be just a better person. So, anyway, tying that all back into the idea of love wastefully. It's not something that's in limited supply. We can love our kids with as much as we have. There's nothing you're not gonna run out. You're not gonna run out of love. Travis Hawkley [00:31:15]: Give it all and love them and and love everyone around you. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:31:18]: Great way to end the show today, and I really appreciate you being here. If people wanna find out more about you, where is the best place for them to go? Travis Hawkley [00:31:24]: So I am the only, to my knowledge, Travis Hockley in the world. So you can find me pretty easily. Google my name, and I should show up on Facebook and Instagram. I will have a website here in the not so distant future, but I don't have it yet. But those are probably the 2 best places to find me. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:31:41]: Well, Travis, I just wanna say thank you. Thank you for being here today, for sharing your own journey, and I wish you all the best. Travis Hawkley [00:31:46]: Awesome. Thank you, Christopher. I appreciate it. This has been great.

Laura Eisenhower shares about aliens, abduction and contact and whether aliens are good or bad. Are they friends or foe? Should we try and make contact? MILABs and more are discussed in this episode of the TruthSeekah Podcast. Laura Eisenhower is the great granddaughter of former president Dwight D Eisenhower, and she shares about her bizarre upbringing and being in tune with her spiritual and psychic abilities from a very early age. Laura is very well educated in astrology and offers private readings and intuitive healing sessions on her website https://cosmicgaia.org .In this episode of The TruthSeekah Podcast Laura explains the difference between Good and bad E.T.s and explains some of the experiments that have been taking place within the government for years such as mock UFO abductions and Milab programs. In the late 80s and early 90s there were many people coming forth with stories and experiences about how they were abducted by grey aliens in the middle of the night. The abductees would recall short greys waking them up in the middle of the night and taking them out of their rooms and aboard UFO spaceships. Many of the people talked about how the aliens were able to teleport them through a window or even through their own bedroom wall. One thing that stands out about these abduction scenarios is that many people reported that while on the ships there were men watching the experiments that were being done to them by the little grey aliens. These men were in full military garb. This leads us to what is known as the MILAB abductions which stands for Military Induced Abductions. It is believed by many that these were mock abductions done to People by the military to push fear and hysteria among those interested in UFO and alien contact. Around this time many movies started to come out that pushed a fear-based agenda when it comes to UFOs and aliens. One of the movies made famous from the early 90s was a film called A Fire in the Sky which was based upon a true story by Travis Walton. This movie was usually found within the horror section at the local Blockbuster Video stores. As Travis Walton begin to talk more and more about his encounter with these alien beings he spoke about how Hollywood manipulated his story and changed what was a beautiful encounter with these beings into a horror movie. As The Story Goes Travis Walton and Friends were working in the woods when they saw what looked to be a huge fire. After work they drove towards the light and saw that it wasn't a fire at all but a large UFO hovering over an open field in the woods. Travis was the only one to get out of the truck as he was awe of his sight that was before him. As he got closer to the craft it lit up even brighter as to take off and when it did the electromagnetic force from the craft knocked Travis Walton backwards through the air and onto the ground. At this point his friends panicked and left Travis in the woods alone. The movie shows Travis waking up on a UFO craft and encountering little grey aliens that were doing tests on him. In panic and rage Travis tried to fight off these beings and they had to hold him down by force to finish their experiments. The movie portrayed this to be a very traumatic incident. As Travis travels around sharing his story at UFO conventions and various speaking engagements he talks about how he was injured when the UFO powered up and they only took him aboard to save his life. This is but one of the manipulated storylines from Hollywood that was used to push a fear-based agenda in the ufology community. Another more recent film was The Fourth Kind starring Milla Jovovich that further endorsed the evil alien scenario. In the midst of all these narratives and encounters, we have to note that there is a huge difference between what people are lumping all together. These experiences range from alien encounters and sleep paralysis, to shadow beings and other types of spirits that influence men while they are asleep. Lumping them all together as alien encounters is a huge misjustice and this subject deserves a lot more exploration. There are thousands of people who are now having beautiful contact with alien type beings. Many are performing CE5 Global contact initiatives where they actually try and make connection with aliens and ETs from other planets. Laura Eisenhower has been a special guest speaker for the past 5 years for an event called Contact in the Desert which hosts lectures and talks from some of the biggest names in ufology from George Noory, David Wilcock, Giorgio A Tsoukalos from The History Channel's Ancient Aliens, James Gilliland and many more. Many of these names speak about beautiful encounters with UFOs and the growing fascination in the field. We rarely hear the term abduction anymore, now people rather refer to themselves as experiencers and contactees.https://www.truthseekah.com/laura-eisenhower-aliens-abduction/TruthSeekah's Book Spirit Realm: Angels Demons, Spirits and the Sovereignty of God (Foreword by Jordan Maxwell) https://amzn.to/31g9ydRHelp Keep The TruthSeekah Podcast On The Air!⭐️ Become A Patron And Support TruthSeekah

Many of the people talked about how the aliens were able to teleport them through a window or even through their own bedroom wall. One thing that stands out about these abduction scenarios is that many people reported that while on the ships there were men watching the experiments that were being done to them by the little grey aliens. These men were in full military garb. This leads us to what is known as the MILAB abductions which stands for Military Induced Abductions. It is believed by many that these were mock abductions done to People by the military to push fear and hysteria among those interested in UFO and alien contact. Around this time many movies started to come out that pushed a fear-based agenda when it comes to UFOs and aliens. One of the movies made famous from the early 90s was a film called A Fire in the Sky which was based upon a true story by Travis Walton. This movie was usually found within the horror section at the local Blockbuster Video stores. As Travis Walton begin to talk more and more about his encounter with these alien beings he spoke about how Hollywood manipulated his story and changed what was a beautiful encounter with these beings into a horror movie. As The Story Goes Travis Walton and Friends were working in the woods when they saw what looked to be a huge fire. After work they drove towards the light and saw that it wasn't a fire at all but a large UFO hovering over an open field in the woods. Travis was the only one to get out of the truck as he was awe of his sight that was before him. As he got closer to the craft it lit up even brighter as to take off and when it did the electromagnetic force from the craft knocked Travis Walton backwards through the air and onto the ground. At this point his friends panicked and left Travis in the woods alone. The movie shows Travis waking up on a UFO craft and encountering little grey aliens that were doing tests on him. In panic and rage Travis tried to fight off these beings and they had to hold him down by force to finish their experiments. The movie portrayed this to be a very traumatic incident. As Travis travels around sharing his story at UFO conventions and various speaking engagements he talks about how he was injured when the UFO powered up and they only took him aboard to save his life. This is but one of the manipulated storylines from Hollywood that was used to push a fear-based agenda in the ufology community. Another more recent film was The Fourth Kind starring Milla Jovovich that further endorsed the evil alien scenario. In the midst of all these narratives and encounters, we have to note that there is a huge difference between what people are lumping all together. These experiences range from alien encounters and sleep paralysis, to shadow beings and other types of spirits that influence men while they are asleep. Lumping them all together as alien encounters is a huge misjustice and this subject deserves a lot more exploration. There are thousands of people who are now having beautiful contact with alien type beings. Many are performing CE5 Global contact initiatives where they actually try and make connection with aliens and ETs from other planets. Laura Eisenhower has been a special guest speaker for the past 5 years for an event called Contact in the Desert which hosts lectures and talks from some of the biggest names in ufology from George Noory, David Wilcock, Giorgio A Tsoukalos from The History Channel's Ancient Aliens, James Gilliland and many more. Many of these names speak about beautiful encounters with UFOs and the growing fascination in the field. We rarely hear the term abduction anymore, now people rather refer to themselves as experiencers and contactees.https://www.truthseekah.com/laura-eisenhower-aliens-abduction/TruthSeekah's Book Spirit Realm: Angels Demons, Spirits and the Sovereignty of God (Foreword by Jordan Maxwell) https://amzn.to/31g9ydRHelp Keep The TruthSeekah Podcast On The Air!⭐️ Become A Patron And Support TruthSeekah

Laura Eisenhower shares about aliens, abduction and contact and whether aliens are good or bad. Are they friends or foe? Should we try and make contact? MILABs and more are discussed in this episode of the TruthSeekah Podcast. Laura Eisenhower is the great granddaughter of former president Dwight D Eisenhower, and she shares about her bizarre upbringing and being in tune with her spiritual and psychic abilities from a very early age. Laura is very well educated in astrology and offers private readings and intuitive healing sessions on her website https://cosmicgaia.org .In this episode of The TruthSeekah Podcast Laura explains the difference between Good and bad E.T.s and explains some of the experiments that have been taking place within the government for years such as mock UFO abductions and Milab programs.

Too many times you hear out there, “stay away from honey, it's all sugar,” but is it? Food Science and research would have you believe its made out of all sugar, and most health professionals would have you believe that as well, but honey isn't just made up of just sugar. It's a powerful plant medicine, and the sugar in honey is the healing glucose your body utilizes to function and your brain utilizes to restore itself and stay fueled. Not all water is the same, not all food is the same, not all supplements are the same, not all people are the same, not all souls are the same, not all friends are the same and not all sugar is the same. Lumping honey into an “all sugars are the same” basket is not an insightful message to say the least. Honey is in a league if it's own, not only because of the long standing history of it being a true survival food for humankind for thousands of years, but a survival food with multitudes of phytochemical compounds undiscovered by medical science and research. The bee gathers nectar and pollen from dozens of plant sources a day, and along with this nectar and pollen comes a battery of true natural medicine. Yet, what if you're vegan and you're told to stay away from honey? Is the bee truly an animal? Are you sure about that? Is science right about everything? Or is a bee being classified as an animal just another mistake out of the thousands of mistakes science makes on a decade by decade basis? Raw Honey is teaming with medicinal life and the process of how this plant medicine is truly created is an awakening. Hear this compelling episode about honey…

In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla speaks with Sarah Owings from Cyber Dog Online Training about clean mechanics for training and working with high drive dogs. Science Highlight: Detecting small and cryptic animals by combining thermography and a wildlife detection dog Why do mechanics matter? Clarity shapes all learning. The clearer you are with your dog, the more successful they will be. Before you blame the dog, be sure your mechanics are clean and communication is consistent and clear. What problems can poor mechanics cause? Dogs may steal food or toys from you, bark, whine, zoomie, etc. This is all from a lack of communication What are some human-end behaviors that can cause miscommunication? Lumping criteria (ie. jumping too many steps at once) Having no criteria/winging it Sessions that are too long Lack of reinforcement strategies What are some mechanics or exercises to improve handler to dog communication? Make sure the criteria is doable and raise the criteria slowly over time Reinforcement pattern games; can you give a dog a reward and they will know exactly where it's going to be (in the mouth, tossed, on the ground, etc.)? If your dog is sniffing around a lot for the rewards, treat in a dish on the ground to clean up the loop Are there situations where switching up the type of food or toy is a good idea? Switching to a lower value reward may just be a crutch. It is important to find what was causing the frustration, because chances are it wasn't that the reward was too high value. If you are having issues, you may be holding out longer than the dog can handle. The dog needs to know how to earn the reward, no matter what. Choice of reinforcement can make your delivery mechanics better or worse.

E129:   Musician of five albums, filmmaker, writer, and world traveler Jimi Fritz and I sit down to speak on his life as an “ethical drug dealer”. Jimi decided young that he didn't want to follow the footsteps of everyone in his hometown who worked at the factory that supported the town so he took off and hit the road. We speak through psychedelics and their reawakening in our society after the war on drugs. Currently there are research programs at ivy league schools across the US showing the benefits of psychedelics for trauma and mental health but there is a larger conversation starting to show. We speak through what we like to do for work and what's worth doing, keeping many irons in the fire to keep income coming, always seeing an option C, imagination, and much more.    In This Episode We Cover Being terrified of “Normal work” How to know a 9 to 5 won't work for you The “great scam” Making a living doing what you love Musician life Keeping many irons in the fire Seeing option C Having imagination Lumping everything into a category called “drugs” How drugs can be good and how they can be bad Cultural and social movements Human's are the same everywhere, it's just the cultural differences   Quotes   “ I have to have a goal ahead of me to be working towards so the 9 to 5 wasn't going to work for me so I was more or less forced to find alternatives.” - Jimi Fritz   “ I've always managed to stay more or less one scam ahead of a job.” - Jimi Fritz   “There's always option C, you can always create another option out of the situation no matter what's happening.” - Host Dave Swillum   Resources Noted In This Podcast   The Vaults of Erowid https://www.erowid.org/   MAPS https://maps.org/     Jimi's Links   Website   https://jimifritz.ca/ Jimi's Book!   https://amzn.to/3AbpqzJ   Youtube   @jimifritz     Waking Up From Work Podcast Links   IG / Tik Tok / Clubhouse / Twitter / HiHo Follow & DM Me! @davewakeup   Merch To Support Us! https://wakeup.itemorder.com/sale?fbclid=IwAR30nyVXdpFaax0mN0CRcC_mVjNzafbMo0spds82eoG-GMo01HG6Uq0dvzw   Patreon (If you want to support the show check out our sweet offers for you) https://www.patreon.com/wakingupfromwork   Facebook Community to connect to creatives https://www.facebook.com/groups/wakingupfromwork/about/   Email wakeupfromworkpodcast@gmail.com   Youtube Channel & Series https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJeddF25VuWn8Eg3Fhy13fQ?view_as=subscriber   For audio advice and more in depth music content from Dave www.crawlspaceaudio.com   Dave's Indie Band Broadwing https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/broadwing/tennessee

Lumping all stress in the "bad" for you bucket and something you should avoid is like saying all baby boomers are the same.  In fact, your experience with stress is similar to what research has shown for baby boomers and their attitudes about aging. How you think about stress has a real effect on your body.  In this episode, I discuss what happens when you think about the stress response as working for you and trigger the challenge response to build resilience, connection and a more meaningful life.

The term “Asian American” applies to more than 50 ethnic groups and people who speak upwards of 100 languages. While it's served Asian Americans to build political power, it's also left many people feeling marginalized and erased. Lumping such a diverse group together masks the different ways people experience the economy, culture, and society. The Indian American experience is quite different from, say, the Burmese American experience. Vox reporter Li Zhou discusses the inadequacy of the term “Asian American."

Ep. 70 - Have you ever searched online in an attempt to define the difference between digital marketing and marketing automation? If you have, you already know the search comes up short. In this episode Chris takes a leap to do what has not yet been done and draws a clear distinction between digital marketing and marketing automation. Lumping them into one doesn't serve the business owner or the marketing professional well and it's time to put an end to doing so.

Separating out those with ASD with an intellectual disability from those with ASD without an intellectual disability can more precisely identify factors that influence probability of having a child with ASD as well as factors which can prevent or preclude services. For example, in those without an intellectual disability, there seems to be stronger heritable […]

Your two favorite individualist Vixens, Jessie and Maddie, take a step back from the distracting chaos to remind you to focus on the theme that causes problems, not the countless little problems themselves: collectivism. Lumping us all together, erasing our individual identities, responsibilities, and liberties is not only harmful to each of us right now in the short term, but the Covid Collectivism is going to have untold ramifications for years to come.

I'm asking you to kindly contact the Texas GOP and tell them it's time to #GoRight and accept diversity in the GOP.https://youtu.be/wcVPLm13bhMTexas GOP Rejected LCR a long-standing Gay Conservative group because they want to lump them with the rest of the gays because 60% of gays are leftist, is in itself the purest form of identity politics you can get.I think each and every one of us needs to call and tell them this old school party way of thinking will and must end. We are no longer the party of Romney but we are the Party of Trump and Diversity!Ask them if they seriously have an issue with Blacks? Latinos? Women? Other Minorities in the party? If their answer is no... Then remind them that the gay community contains everyone, if they are rejecting us based on our sexuality above our personal character then they are bigots. Lumping all people of a particular identity into one stereotype is a bigoted method and is NOT MAGA. Seriously ask them this, it's the same thing I always ask... Do you have a Men's GOP group? Women's GOP group?Black GOP group?Young GOP group?Latino GOP group?College GOP group?Do you have these different groups of..IDENTITY?If that answer is YES...Then ask them so why can we not have a Group of Gay Conservatives?Is it because you are truly homophobic?You say that you don't feel we need to classify the fact we are Gay vs Straight, as you say it's because we are all equal, you do this meanwhile you will openly seek out any other group of diversity with labels not asking them to run in the closet with who they are.Maybe it's because it's hard to hide the fact your a woman or a person of color? It's easier to just tell us to be good gays and stay in the closet?Women and Blacks/Minorities fought hard for their equal rights. Those same rights you claim that we have but "why do you insist on labeling your group gay.. we see you as equal" yet, in reality, you don't. You reject us... Just us - from having a seat at the table... For 20 years the LCR has been asking for the opportunity to sit at the table. For inclusion from within. This inclusion is no different than what the blacks/minorities and women fought for as well. So do the gays who believe in many of the same Republican values as the rest of the party.Ronald Reagan once said, “The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally, not a 20 percent traitor.”It's time that the GOP honor the house that Lincoln, Reagan, and Trump built.I ask everyone to reach out to the Texas GOP (and your local GOP) and stand up for our equality and inclusion.Please share this call of action to #GoRight and seek inclusion.Here is their contact info:Follow what their page says:"WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOUREPUBLICAN PARTY OF TEXAS"Phone: 512.477.9821 | Fax: 512.480.0709E-mail: info@texasgop.orgKyle WhatleyExecutive Director(512) 477-9821Kwhatley@texasgop.orgLeslie RecineSpecial Projects CoordinatorLrecine@texasgop.orgTerry HolcombDirector of Party Operations(281) 761-1185Tholcomb@texasgop.orgSam PohlComms DirectorSpohl@texasgop.orgMorgan LloydComms AssistantMlloyd@texasgop.orgBrandon MooreOrganization DirectorBmoore@texasgop.orgJen HallAssistant Primary AdministratorJhall@texasgop.orgMitch CarneyPolitical Director for RPT / Executive Director for the Volunteer Engagement ProjectMcarney@texasgop.orgKeith KhazaeData DirectorKkhazae@texasgop.orgAlexander FultonDeputy Executive Director – Volunteer Engagement ProjectAfulton@texasgop.orgStephanie BolkeExecutive Assistant – Volunteer Engagement ProjectSbolke@texasgop.orgJoanna NicholsonVolunteer CoordinatorJnicholson@texasgop.orgApril LenaghenRegional Field DirectorAlenaghen@texasgop.orgKeenan WilliamsRegional Field DirectorKwilliams@texasgop.orgKayla HensleyRegional Field DirectorKhensley@texasgop.orgGrant KileyRegional Field DirectorGkiley@texasgop.orgBlake DickersonRegional Field DirectorBdickerson@texasgop.orgJoseph GivensRegional Field DirectorJgivens@texasgop.orgBianca GarciaCoalitions Director; South Texas Regional Field Director – Volunteer Engagement ProjectBgarcia@texasgop.orgLauren DuncanHouston Regional Field Director – Volunteer Engagement ProjectLduncan@texasgop.orgTaylor ConverseNorth Texas Regional Field Director – Volunteer Engagement ProjectTconverse@texasgop.orgDavid LoweNorth Texas Regional Field Deputy – Volunteer Engagement ProjectDlowe@texasgop.orgKristi AntonickEast Texas Regional Field Director – Volunteer Engagement ProjectKantonick@texasgop.orgJared CruzEast Texas Regional Field Deputy- Volunteer Engagement ProjectJcruz@texasgop.orgSarah LaraStatewide Director;West Texas Regional Field Director – Volunteer Engagement ProjectSlara@texasgop.orgDalton ShawWest Texas Regional Field Deputy – Volunteer Engagement ProjectDshaw@texasgop.orgRemember this is a grassroots not endorsed by LCR of Texashttps://www.spreaker.com/user/9922149/callofactiontocontactthetexasgopanddeman

Learn how to approach the geriatric patient with multimorbidity and how to parse through and prioritize a mile-long problem list with Dr Josh Uy, master geriatrician at the University of Pennsylvania. We review different approaches to a clinic visit with a patient who takes fifteen daily medications with just as many chief complaints, all in a thirty minute (or less!) appointment time. We discuss what the term “multimorbidity” even means, how to ask about patient preferences and use them to inform the treatment plan, and what the evidence has to say about adjusting treatment goals of common conditions for individual patients. (Spoiler alert: It all depends on the patient, comorbid conditions and goals!)  Full show notes https://thecurbsiders.com/episode-list.

THE PETE SANTILLI SHOWEpisode #1610 -Sunday  - August 25, 2019 - 6PMLive Broadcast Link - https://youtu.be/2mTtAcgGZC4  CNN Psychiatrist: Trump May Be Responsible f/ Millions More Deaths Than Hitler, Stalin, Mao -1610-6P CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” psychiatrist Dr. Allen Frances said President Donald Trump “may be responsible for many more million deaths” than Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong. Frances said, “I’ve known thousands of patients, almost all of them have been well-behaved well-mannered good people. Trump is none of these. Lumping the mentally ill with is a terrible insult and they have enough problems and stigma it is. Calling Trump crazy hides the fact that we’re crazy for having elected him and even crazier for allowing his crazy policies to persist.” He added, “Trump is as destructive a person in this century as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were in the last century. He may be responsible for many more million deaths than they were.

Ever been in a meeting or listen to someone talk and they say, “you know how we are” or “you know how alcoholics act”? I want to stop them in the middle of their share and say “no, we know how YOU act”! Now, I know it’s mainly just a way of speaking or euphemism however, when I use the word “I”, there’s a lot of power that comes with it. And by power, I mean the ability to change my behavior. I think by lumping the group into ones share, it minimizes the person’s behavior... they may be less likely to change because “everyone” is doing it. Today, when you’re sharing... say “I” not “you” or “we”.

The Rationalist Proof of God.  In this episode, we look at a contingency argument. This is defended at length in Chapter 5 of Dr. Feser's Five Proofs of the Existence of God. The proof rests on 3 philosophical notions.  1) Contingent beings vs. necessary beings 2) The Principle of Sufficient Reason 3) Lumping contingent realities or examining different levels of reality   The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.   John DeRosa jderosa@classicaltheism.com

Laura Eisenhower shares about aliens, abduction and contact and whether aliens are good or bad. Are they friends or foe? Should we try and make contact? MILABs and more are discussed in this episode of the TruthSeekah Podcast. Laura Eisenhower is the great granddaughter of former president Dwight D Eisenhower, and she shares about her bizarre upbringing and being in tune with her spiritual and psychic abilities from a very early age. Laura is very well educated in astrology and offers private readings and intuitive healing sessions on her website https://cosmicgaia.org . In this episode of The TruthSeekah Podcast Laura explains the difference between Good and bad E.T.s and explains some of the experiments that have been taking place within the government for years such as mock UFO abductions and Milab programs. In the late 80s and early 90s there were many people coming forth with stories and experiences about how they were abducted by grey aliens in the middle of the night. The abductees would recall short greys waking them up in the middle of the night and taking them out of their rooms and aboard UFO spaceships. Many of the people talked about how the aliens were able to teleport them through a window or even through their own bedroom wall. One thing that stands out about these abduction scenarios is that many people reported that while on the ships there were men watching the experiments that were being done to them by the little grey aliens. These men were in full military garb. This leads us to what is known as the MILAB abductions which stands for Military Induced Abductions. It is believed by many that these were mock abductions done to People by the military to push fear and hysteria among those interested in UFO and alien contact. Around this time many movies started to come out that pushed a fear-based agenda when it comes to UFOs and aliens. One of the movies made famous from the early 90s was a film called A Fire in the Sky which was based upon a true story by Travis Walton. This movie was usually found within the horror section at the local Blockbuster Video stores. As Travis Walton begin to talk more and more about his encounter with these alien beings he spoke about how Hollywood manipulated his story and changed what was a beautiful encounter with these beings into a horror movie. As The Story Goes Travis Walton and Friends were working in the woods when they saw what looked to be a huge fire. After work they drove towards the light and saw that it wasn't a fire at all but a large UFO hovering over an open field in the woods. Travis was the only one to get out of the truck as he was awe of his sight that was before him. As he got closer to the craft it lit up even brighter as to take off and when it did the electromagnetic force from the craft knocked Travis Walton backwards through the air and onto the ground. At this point his friends panicked and left Travis in the woods alone. The movie shows Travis waking up on a UFO craft and encountering little grey aliens that were doing tests on him. In panic and rage Travis tried to fight off these beings and they had to hold him down by force to finish their experiments. The movie portrayed this to be a very traumatic incident. As Travis travels around sharing his story at UFO conventions and various speaking engagements he talks about how he was injured when the UFO powered up and they only took him aboard to save his life. This is but one of the manipulated storylines from Hollywood that was used to push a fear-based agenda in the ufology community. Another more recent film was The Fourth Kind starring Milla Jovovich that further endorsed the evil alien scenario. In the midst of all these narratives and encounters, we have to note that there is a huge difference between what people are lumping all together.  These experiences range from alien encounters and sleep paralysis, to shadow beings and other types of spirits that influence men while they are asleep. Lumping them all together as alien encounters is a huge misjustice and this subject deserves a lot more exploration. There are thousands of people who are now having beautiful contact with alien type beings. Many are performing CE5 Global contact initiatives where they actually try and make connection with aliens and ETs from other planets. Laura Eisenhower has been a special guest speaker for the past 5 years for an event called Contact in the Desert which hosts lectures and talks from some of the biggest names in ufology from George Noory, David Wilcock, Giorgio A Tsoukalos from The History Channel's Ancient Aliens, James Gilliland and many more. Many of these names speak about beautiful encounters with UFOs and the growing fascination in the field. We rarely hear the term abduction anymore, now people rather refer to themselves as experiencers and contactees.

SPECIAL GUEST: NICOLÁS CAMPIONE (UNE) Reconstructing the Earth’s history from fragments of information is an epic task requiring a variety of approaches. Paleontologists combine technological approaches, quantitative methods and artistic visualisations to reconstruct what dinosaur bodies would have looked like using fossil remains.  Nicolás Campione is a quantitative paleontologist at the University of New England in Australia that undergoes this detective work to understand how animals have changed over time. Using this information he studies how animals have responded to environmental change and extinction events. This information can enable us to make predictions about future environmental change will affect life on earth and how we might be able to mitigate these impacts.   You can follow Nic on Twitter @PaleoNic or visit his website www.nicolascampione.weebly.com   Find out more at www.insituscience.com Follow us on twitter @insituscience Follow us on Instagram  http://instagram.com/insituscience  Like us on Facebook Music: ‘Strange Stuff’ by Sonic Wallpaper - www.sonicwallpaper.bandcamp.com

Here are some books that should appeal to the fan and the skeptic of science fiction.

Our country is changing so fast and our laws are also changing due to the new morals that have developed over the past several decades especially when it comes to sexuality. What am I talking about? Your beliefs as a Bible Believing Christian are being challenged. Your beliefs are being squashed and silenced because of the new moral code in our country. And that new moral code is not coming from an all powerful everlasting and eternal God, but rather from an organization like the LGBT and its supporters. The LGBT is the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender community. The topic of homosexuality is such a firestorm of discussion that we could do a whole show on this, but let me make a clarification here. There is a huge difference between 1) a radical organization like the LGBT 2) people who are gay, and 3) people who struggle with same sex attraction. Now, I am not lumping every single person who says their gay into the LGBT. That’s ridiculous, and as church leaders we need to do a better job of recognizing that. People who say they’re gay are as different as any other community. Lumping all gay people together would be like lumping all Christians into the same Church. I mean can you imagine?! Do you want to be known as members of the Westboro Baptist church? I think not. Today we are talking about the radical side of the gay agenda. And I wanted to do a follow up to my interview last week with Darren Doane and his new film “The Free Speech Apocalypse”. I wanted to speak to one of the unexpected stars in the film. His name is Doug Wilson, he is a pastor and author. And I wanted to get his perspective to what happened on April 13 2012 on the Indiana University campus when he tried to give a lecture on the traditional views of marriage and the family.

By 1850 identifying and classifying plants had become far more important than mere list making. Establishing the global laws of botany - what grew where and why - occupied the well travelled naturalist Joseph Hooker - son of Kew's director William Hooker and close friend of Charles Darwin. Kathy Willis hears from historian Jim Endersby on how Hooker was to acquire species from all over the world to build up the first accurate maps of the world's flora. Mark Nesbitt, curator of Kew's economic botany collection, reveals how gifts to Hooker in the collection reveal the relationship between the amateur collector in the field and Hooker back at Kew was one built on trust and mutual understanding. But, as Jim Endersby explains, the relationships were frought with tension when it came to naming new plants. Arguments between those claiming they had found new species (often called "splitters") versus cautious botanists, such as Hooker, who would often "lump" together species as variants of the same, raised new debates about what constitutes a new species. And as Mark Chase, Keeper of Kew's Jodrell Laboratory reveals, the arguments continue today. Producer: Adrian Washbourne Presenter: Kathy Willis is director of science at Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. She is also professor of long-term ecology and a fellow of Merton College, both at Oxford University. Winner of several awards, she has spent over 20 years researching and teaching biodiversity and conservation at Oxford and Cambridge.
