Episode 33: Finding Happiness - Being With All Your Emotions Anger is part of the human condition and one that deserves a lot of attention because we don't like it, we repel away from it and it can be caustic and painful for ourselves and for others if we lash out in anger. We love to intersect research with the wisdom of medicine that prevailed modern medicine by 1000's of years. Medical and psychological Research shows that holding onto anger and resentment increases risk for anxiety, depression, insomnia, high blood pressure, ulcers, migraines, backaches, heart attack and even cancer! WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: We're in balance when we allow ourselves to acknowledge and feel ALL of our emotions Why we tend to reject all emotions except for joy as we are endlessly in search for happiness. We must be balanced, and to not only seek joy. Without sadness, we cannot feel TRUE joy. Why with too much joy, we are manic, can't sleep, erratic… Why teaching yourself and your children to name your feelings and you will see/ feel big transitions What role does the amygdala play in emotions How to deal with both personal anger you feel, and anger from others directed at you Why extended families can help new moms keep a more balanced life Forgive people in your life, even those who are not sorry for their actions.

How To Speak To Your 7 y.o. Self What would life look like if you spoke to yourself in the manner that you would to your seven year old self? Would your self-imposed expectations change? Maybe you wouldn't be bound to the *same* expectations. Now we realize we can't go back in time but our 7 year old self is within and we can do a lot of this self talk now and boost out self esteem. If you could speak to your seven year old self is there anything you would say to coach them to help them see life differently or make different decisions? You perhaps would teach growth mindset and to speak kindly, and share all those thoughts of wisdom and how to dampen perception of stress. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: to rehabilitate the 7 year old version of you to heal the adult version to stop freezing or staying in fight or flight Why when we speak negatively we either give up or don't enjoy the journey on the way there to stop being so hard on yourself Remind yourself it's the journey, the end always matters less when you get to the end goal there will always be another goal - lose weight, run a little further, get a promotion How to use kindness with love, acceptance and growth mindset Build people up, don't gossip Why it's OK to say ‘no', but so hard to do Why you shouldn't try and please everyone Surround yourself by people who build you up and think the same AND MORE!

Episode 24: Solutions To Fear Fear can be both a motivation and a debilitation. It can move someone into action, such as stepping on a scale and realizing they need to take action, or it can cause someone to curl up into a ball and avoid bad news. This also manifests as any number of tensions and illnesses in our bodies, impacting interpersonal relationships, career, high anxiety, weakness of bones, impotence and more! Tanya and Mary talk extensively about energy meridians in the body, and how energy can become ‘stuck' in the chest and throat, appearing as illness. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Allow yourself to feel, label it, sit with it without judgement. Is the fear real?

Episode 23: Conquering New Habits Each year, as we get closer to year's end, millions of people hunger for change - weight loss, eat better, be happier, work on mental health, less stress, improve relationships, etc. New Year's Resolutions are habit, but the things we choose to work on rarely become habits. Stats show that 80% of people GIVE UP on their resolutions by the 2nd week of February! Why? Because they haven't become HABITS yet. A habit is defined as ‘a behaviour that is done automatically, with little thought like brushing your teeth…”. Behaviours become HABITS due to a few things - repetition and time, plus desire. How many of us put our seatbelts on without being reminded? I'm sure the first few times after seatbelts became law we forgot, but we persevered. We had and have an external rule forcing us. What is the ‘rule' for our behaviours is our own health and warning signs? High blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, anxiety, stress, etc. Shouldn't we heed those? Some studies have shown that habits can take 3 weeks of consistent repetition to truly become a habit. James Clear in his book “Atomic Habits” he suggests that new habits don't become truly ingrained until between 2-8 months! So, don't give up on those new behaviours you are working on, soon you'll be on autopilot on the way to meaningful change! Join Tanya and Mary on this not-to-be-missed episode of HOW to turn behaviours into HABITS, so that you aren't one of the 80% that bail on their self improvement goals. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 3 strategies to succeed with habits and make them sustainable and AUTOMATIC How small actions around new behaviours can set you up for SUCCESS Why your OLD habits can derail new ones Why goal/habit planning can be done on paper, but they need to SHIFT to ACTION off paper Why there are metabolic changes in your body BEFORE the scale reflects weight loss What are other signs of success beside the number on the scale? Even type A personalities who dive in can be overwhelmed Don't bite off more than you can chew - better eating, better sleep AND exercise Focus on your most CRITICAL need first, make it a success then tackle the next Why #babystepstosuccess will get you there! Be realistic; plan/schedule; create habits with support as needed; track progress; congratulate yourself!

We help you banish fear, connect to the moment, accept what you can't change, feel gratitude, reframe trauma to see it in a new light & reduce physical manifestations of it, and change our genes through changing our thought! WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why reframing your mindset for acceptance is the first step Embrace YOU First, so that you show up for you first, then you can show up for others Embrace fear and let it guide you through perspective, reframing and rewriting your story for 2021 – why perspective allows you to feel gratitude How to set yourself up for success in the New Year What does success mean to you? It might be fitness, work, relationships, nutrition, but keep in mind they go hand in hand How starting small by setting short term goals for 3 months can lead to a massive shift No matter what we have been given through genetics, when we SHIFT our mindset, we can shift and change our genes through thoughts How we are able to turn on healthy genes or silence unhealthy ones, using the power of positive thoughts, beliefs and actions What is the Nocebo Effect, and how does it impact people during a pandemic? How Tanya's mom taught her to take care of her mental health from a young age, while she herself didn't possess the tools to take care of her own, as previous generations didn't consider mental health Why Tanya reframed a personal traumatic event involving fire and candles, into something normal and even magical How not to sit in your trauma, but celebrate the successes of 2020 Why positive thinking raises your vibration, and who and what is attracted into your life because of it Why mindfulness, connecting with what you're doing right now, enables gratitude and harnesses your energy to focus Don't spend energy on fears, it makes you more tired and exhausted, and compromises your immune system How you can extend your life simply by having something to look forward to Do you feel you're living in groundhog day?

I'm pleased to post Show #210, April 22, my interview with Mary Wong, Senior Policy Director at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) on the move towards international administration of the Internet. Over the past three months, there has been much discussion about the move from US to ICANN administration of domain names. Mary, a former law professor, is at the center of this issue at ICANN, and I wanted Mary to come on the show to answer questions and dispel myths about this important procedural issue. In our discussion, we discussed the role of ICANN and what their increased role in administering domain names means and doesn't mean. I enjoyed the discussion. {Hearsay Culture is a talk show on KZSU-FM, Stanford, 90.1 FM, hosted by Center for Internet & Society Resident Fellow David S. Levine.
