Daniel Lereya, the Chief Product and Technology Officer at monday.com, shares how he and his team realized they were being outpaced by competitors and how that realization completely transformed how they operate and allowed them to build a global powerhouse, doing over $1 billion in ARR, with 245,000 customers worldwide.What you'll learn:1. How they used seemingly impossible goals, like building 25 new features in one month, to unlock bigger thinking on their team2. How sharing real-time metrics with the entire company—even during interviews—created a culture of accountability and alignment3. How focusing on impact, rather than just shipping features, has transformed the company's culture4. The story behind monday.com's decision to launch five new products simultaneously and how it redefined their market positioning5. How they use “traps” (timeboxed deadlines) to drive focus, avoid scope creep, and deliver faster6. Daniel's personal journey of navigating impostor syndrome and scaling challenges, and the mental models he uses to stay grounded and effective—Brought to you by:• Enterpret—Transform customer feedback into product growth• Airtable ProductCentral—Launch to new heights with a unified system for product development• Vanta—Automate compliance.

Episode 133 - Books for Dads - Nonviolent Communication - A Language of Life, Life-Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships Marshall B. Rosenberg PhDNonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg presents a framework for communicating with empathy, honesty, and clarity to foster mutual understanding and peaceful conflict resolution.The book introduces the Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process, which consists of four key components:Observations: Clearly stating facts without judgment or evaluationFeelings: Identifying and expressing emotionsNeeds: Recognizing the universal human needs behind our feelingsRequests: Making clear, positive requests to meet those needsRosenberg argues that much of our habitual communication is "violent" in that it uses judgmental language, criticism, demands, and other forms of expression that create defensiveness and conflict. In contrast, NVC aims to create compassionate connections by focusing on shared human needs and values.The book provides numerous examples and dialogues to illustrate how to apply NVC principles in various personal and professional situations. Key concepts include:Distinguishing observations from evaluationsDeveloping emotional literacy and needs awarenessMaking requests rather than demandsReceiving empathicallyExpressing anger fullyResolving conflicts peacefullyWhile some readers find the NVC approach transformative for improving relationships and communication, others critique it as potentially rigid or manipulative if applied inflexibly. Overall, the book offers valuable tools for more compassionate, needs-based communication, though its effectiveness may depend on how it is implemented in real-world contexts.https://a.co/d/amPmnKn___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot SessionsSong: The Big Ten https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/258270

In dieser Podcast-Episode tauchen wir tief in das Thema Deeskalation ein – ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Selbstverteidigung. Wir erkunden, warum das Konzept der Deeskalation oft missverstanden wird und wie man es effektiver angehen kann. Dabei betrachten wir, welche typischen Fehler man vermeiden sollte und wie man durch präzise Kommunikation und taktisches Vorgehen die Kontrolle in kritischen Situationen behält. Zudem erfährst du, welche Anzeichen darauf hindeuten, dass Deeskalation nicht mehr möglich ist und wie du dann sicher reagierst.

Atgriezeniskās saite ir par rīcību, nevis par personību, tas ir novērojums, tā ir prasme redzēt un dzirdēt cilvēku. Cieņpilni pastāstīt otram cilvēkam iespēju robežās ko tur redzi, ko dzirdi, ko novēro. Cieņpilni to pastāsti. Šajā epizodē kopā ar Elīnu Bulāni cepāmies par sen aktuālu tēmu - atgriezeniskās saites sniegšana, kopā ar mums Sandra Lāce, supervizore, kognitīvi biheiviorālās terapijas speciāliste, vadīšanas prasmju trenere. Pētījumi rāda, ka cilvēki gaida vidēji trīs mēnešus, lai saņemtu konstruktīvu atgriezenisko saiti, lai gan skaidri zinām, ka tas ir pārāk ilgi. Mācāmies kā sniegt šo novērojumu, taču beigās to nestāstām, jo baidāmies otru aizvainot, nevēlamies pateikt kaut ko nepatīkamu. Paldies Iveta Bikse, Organizāciju psihologs, organizācijas attīstības vadītāja Putnu fabrikā Ķekava, par pētījumu un viedokli.Klausies epizodi un uzzini:Kāpēc Hamburgera metode nestrādā?Kādas metodes palīdz veidot atklātu sarunu?Kā veidot veselīgu dialogu darba situācijās?Vai atgriezeniskā saite nozīmē kritizēt?Vērts izlasīt grāmatas, ko pieminējām sarunā:Ben Falk's "Honest Talks": While not a book, Ben Falk's approach in his talks and workshops focuses on honesty and transparency in communication. His methods are valuable for developing a culture where feedback is given in a straightforward, constructive manner."Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life" by Marshall B. Rosenberg: This book is a foundational text in understanding empathetic communication. Rosenberg's framework for nonviolent communication is highly effective in creating an environment where feedback is given and received in a constructive, compassionate way, leading to better understanding and collaboration."Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity" by Kim Scott - Scott's book focuses on how to be both direct and empathetic in giving feedback, fostering a culture of open and honest communication.

Chapter 1 What is Nonviolent Communication"Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life" is a book written by Marshall B. Rosenberg. It is a guidebook that explores a communication process aimed at fostering understanding, compassion, and empathy between individuals. The book introduces the concept of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as a way to resolve conflicts peacefully and improve relationships. Rosenberg presents NVC as a practical framework for effective communication, emphasizing the importance of empathetic listening, honest expression of feelings and needs, and finding mutually beneficial solutions. He discusses how our language and communication patterns often contribute to misunderstandings, conflicts, and disconnection, and offers strategies for transforming these patterns into more compassionate and authentic interactions. Throughout the book, Rosenberg provides numerous examples and real-life scenarios to illustrate the principles and practices of Nonviolent Communication. He also highlights the power dynamics and structures in society that can perpetuate violence and offers insights on how to address these issues through compassionate communication. "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life" has been widely regarded as a valuable resource for those seeking to improve their communication skills, deepen their connections with others, and contribute to peaceful resolution of conflicts in various contexts.Chapter 2 Is Nonviolent Communication Worth ReadAccording to reddit comments on Nonviolent Communication, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is definitely worth reading.

Last year, I started my podcast and welcomed my baby boy earth side." Candice is a mom, podcaster and essentialist who loves to engage in courageous conversations, especially about truth, trust and boundaries. (Check out her podcast, Create the Ripple Podcast) She has learned the power of saying no and speaks openly about subtle abuse as it occurs in relationships - personally and professionally. Knowing that peace, freedom and integrity start inside, Candice is an advocate for knowing your own truth and speaking it clearly and powerfully - at home, at work and to yourself. After a narcissistic partner cheated on her with multiple women, left her (and the country!) with over 350 thousand dollars worth of bad debt, Candice was forced to rebuild her life, her credit and, most importantly, her trust in herself. The journey was not without its impact and Candice shares powerfully about dealing with anxiety, shame and learning to let go. Now, as a self proclaimed Essentialist, she's leading a big life while living in a tiny home (324 sq ft), with her Love, 2 kids, 2 dogs and 1 cat. When grief rocked her world in 2020, Candice knew it was time to finally do the deeper healing work she had been putting off and change her negative patterns for good. Emerging from this place, Candice now embraces her wild, fierce and receptive feminine nature. The journey to be and embrace all the parts of herself has led her to the place to start her wildly successful Create the Ripple Podcast; Trust the Niggle and Tell the Truth - where she features guests who are living in their truth and integrity.

When met with an unexpected situation, do you react or respond? And what is the difference? According to Dr. Matt James, while some people use the words interchangeably, there is a world of difference in their meanings. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/focus-forgiveness/201609/react-vs-respond Tony shares a story of showing up late to a recent speaking opportunity where he learned whether or not he was more prone to reaction or response. Tony shares the results of taking the Implicit Association Test (IAT) https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/ and discusses how understanding how we give meaning to certain people and situations contributes to how we react or how we respond.

In this episode, I talk about letting go of the past. To do that, we need to: Choose that we're ready to let go. Actively work to heal. Accept accountability for ourselves. Tip: When angry, use the skills you can learn from the Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life book by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D. Focus on what your needs are and how you can achieve them rather than blaming the past for your current situation. Want to learn more? Check out the Let Go and Be Free book series.

This poem is an excerpt from the book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg. I never feel more given to than when you take from me – when you understand the joy I feel giving to you. And you know my giving isn't done to put you in my debt, but because I want to live the love I feel for you. To receive with grace may be the greatest giving. There's no way I can separate the two. When you give to me, I give you my receiving. When you take from me, I feel so given to.
How are you doing with communicating what you need with other people? This has definitely not been my strong point BUT I realize how it's vital to peace and growth in a relationship. Today I share with you guys a fantastic book that is helping me grow in this area and I hope it helps you too. The book is called, "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Compassion by Marshall B.

RateThisPodcast.com/createtheripple ** “21 years ago I survived a sexual assault from my boyfriend. 14 years ago I decided not to kill myself. 11 years ago I was left with 350 k worth of bad debt. 9 years ago I walked away rather than endure sexual coercion and harassment from my boss. 7 years ago I welcomed my beautiful daughter into the world. 5 years ago I left my marriage to fall in love with myself. 3 years ago I allowed myself to fully heal and reconnect with my feminine; 2 years ago I rebuilt my life, moved into my own tiny home and found my Lifetime Love. Last year, I started my podcast and welcomed my baby boy earth side." Candice is a mom, podcaster, social marketer and essentialist who loves to engage in interesting conversations with other influencers and entrepreneurs. Her favourite conversations are the ones that take courage to engage in. (Check out her podcast, Create the Ripple Podcast) She has learned the power of saying no, listening to your own heart and speaks openly about subtle abuse as it occurs in relationships - personally and professionally. She's become a voice for listening to your own truth and speaking it clearly, powerfully - at home, at work and in your life. She spends her time living - in a tiny home (250 sq ft), traveling, speaking and sharing candidly with others how to live life after betrayal, to trust themselves, to speak up for themselves and set powerful boundaries. After a narcissistic partner cheated on her with multiple women, left her (and the country!) With over 350 thousand dollars worth of bad debt, Candice was forced to rebuild her life, her credit and her trust in herself. Coming out of this, she encountered her own “Me Too” moment dealing with sexual coercion and harassment in her professional life; saying no resulted in her being the target of gossip that tarnished her reputation. Deeply affected by the gaslighting and the experiences, she adopted a minimalist lifestyle, leaned on her personal network and practiced radical personal forgiveness, acceptance and responsibility. The journey was not without its impact and Candice shares powerfully about dealing with anxiety, depression, shame and learning to let go. When grief rocked her world a little less than 2 years ago, Candice knew it was time to stop her life, hit the pause button and finally do the deep work to heal her heart, self and mindset. Emerging from this place, Candice has begun to embrace her fierce and receptive feminine nature. The journey to be and embrace all the parts of herself has led her to the place to start her wildly successful Create the Ripple Podcast; Trust the Niggle and Tell the Truth - where she features other amazing guests who are not afraid to do the hard work of personal development, listen to their own minds/heart and then speak up and out for those things that matter; to themselves and to make a difference in the world. Candice loves her essentialist lifestyle for the beauty and freedom it offers her. She can never resist the urge to take off her boots to walk barefoot into a clear mountain lake or stream. When she is not connecting or writing, she can be found disappearing into the backcountry trails of Canada with her life-love Mark and losing herself exploring waterfalls and mountain trails. She is a quiet introvert who adores eating clean foods and reading a great book.

Guests Rich Bowen | Paul Berschick Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! On this episode, Richard is at the FOSS Backstage 2022 that is held in Berlin every year. This conference focuses on open source sustainability. He had the opportunity to interview people who were there in-person and talk about software sustainability, what they hope to find in FOSS Backstage, talks they did, and a bunch of other good stuff. Our first guest is Richard Bowen, who's been doing open source stuff for over twenty years, most recently at Red Hat, and just started working at AWS in the open source group. We also have another guest, Paul Berschick, who is one of the organizers of FOSS Backstage, and does Open Source Events at Plain Schwarz. Go ahead and download this episode now to find out more! [00:00:58] Rich tells us what he's doing now since leaving Red Hat. [00:02:13] We hear about Rich's talk he did on, “Delivering Bad News: Helping your community through a rough patch.” [00:04:45] Rich shares his thoughts on what happens when incentives don't align. [00:07:40] If you want a great read, Rich tells us a fantastic book to look into called, The Art of Community: Seven Principles of Belonging by Charles Vogl, as well as sharing advice to hang out with other Community Managers and to listen to his talk if you want to learn something. [00:10:25] How does Rich sees the role of Community Managers going and how does he think of community? [00:14:25] Find out where you can follow Rich online. [00:15:47] We now have Paul Berschick joining us and he tells us about Plain Schwarz. [00:17:02] Paul explains how much FOSS Backstage has grown since 2018, including the pandemic and how that changed. [00:21:35] How is Paul working to recreate and enable the amazing connections that he makes with people through FOSS Backstage for people who are remote? [00:25:28] Richard wonders how Paul has noticed, given his place of an event organizer, that his particular clientele influences how he builds these spaces, and if it changes how he views things because he does open source stuff. [00:27:52] Paul shares how he feels he's helping the ecosystem as a whole besides just having a one-off conference. [00:30:47] Does Paul feel FOSS Backstage could do better at accessing the rest of the long tail open source developers? [00:33:31] Paul shares ideas with having satellite events in other places where there's a more diverse listenership and how would that work. [00:35:24] Find out where you can follow Paul online.

#005 - As designers, we are skilled at managing uncertainty within design processes but how well do we manage uncertainty within our own lives and careers? Atomic physicist, Kung Fu teacher and the co-founder of the Happy Startup School, Dr. Carlos Saba shares his journey of uncertainties and his biggest lessons trying to find his way around his life and career and how it's ok to not know what you're doing or where you're going. He also talks about why knowing how to conduct transactional research with users doesn't automatically make us good as empathising with people we are emotionally invested with. We also talk about the importance of clarifying your definition of success before setting out to achieve it and how prioritising fun could be a happier alternative when making your career choices.In this episode:Viewing success as a feeling rather than an output or outcomeThe language of needs and being aware of your and others' needsEmbracing uncertainty with a beginner's mindPrioritising fun when picking the people you want to work withShownotes:Happy Startup Schoolhttps://www.thehappystartupschool.com/Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B.

His book Move, Connect, Play: The Art and Science of AcroYoga details the core principles of AcroYoga, a practice that melds circus arts with the healing power of massage and the breathwork of yoga. Jason's passion for partner acrobatics began at just 12 years old, and he went on to win silver and bronze medals at the World Championships and performed at the Olympic Games. After discovering yoga, Eastern philosophy, and Thai massage, he began fusing the key elements that would soon become the global practice of AcroYoga. Jason has dedicated his life to AcroYoga and travels the world to study, teach, and unite communities.

This episode is based on one of the most important books I have ever read: NonViolent Communication - A Language of Life by Marshall Rosenberg Nonviolent Communication is one of the most powerful ways of speaking with people that I have ever come across. It eliminates useless strategies like judgment and proving yourself right and instead gives you absolutely tactical techniques to get the things you need for happiness for yourself and your interlocutor. NVC is not a new, gimmicky set of dictum. It boils down the philosophies of Stoicism, the psychological approaches of CBT and cognitive psychology. Marshall Rosenberg was a psychologist trained in the classical analytic, but found it unsatisfying and for the most part, unhelpful. Speaking Giraffe vs. Speaking Jackal NVC is not really a theory or a guide to behavior--it is a language!!! Giraffes only hear feelings & needs, never thoughts Jackal language is about judging, criticizing, analyzing, moralizing and accusing. When we feel unfairly treated, accused or when we want to impose our wishes, we tend to use the language of the jackal. Jackal language is separating. Giraffe language is unifying. The System There are essentially two major parts--The four component speech creation and emergency empathy The Four Components 1. Observation without Evaluation There's nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so. Shakespeare in Hamlet Avoid generalization, only specifics (generally good to avoid the past as well) Separate the observation from the evaluation or better yet, eliminate the evaluation You are the most inconsiderate person--you are always late J Krishnamurti: "observing without evaluating is the highest form of human intelligence" See page 30 for more on pitfalls in observing 2. Feeling Internal emotional states vs. thoughts/judgment If you can replace I feel with I think--then it is not a feeling If I feel is followed by: that, like, or as if then it is not a feeling If I feel is followed by a name or pronoun (whether he, you, or I), then it is not a feeling Eliminate the feel--and see if it still works I feel sad to I'm sad works. I feel Could you feel it alone on a desert island--Ignored is not a feeling, unimportant is not a feeling, resentment is not a feeling b/c they require another to judge/act. It is a thought about how someone else is judging us p.45 has a list of positive and negative feelings Stoicism/CBT--We are the only ones responsible for our feelings We are responsible for everything we do (Replace I have to with I choose to) Do not connect the feelings to the observations through cause and effect. They relate--they are not caused by. When I observe X, I feel Y Even break it down to good/bad People are disturbed not by things, but by the view they take of them --Epictetus "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" from "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare 3. Needs Rosenberg identifies human needs as safety, understanding, respect, warmth, autonomy, etc. When needs are expressed indirectly through assessments and behavioural diagnoses, people are likely to hear criticism and behave defensively or start talking back. Needs https://github.com/cognitivetech/Marshall-Rosenberg-NVC/blob/master/NVC-Training-3_The-4-Part-Model_Marshall-Rosenberg_transcript.md#universal-human-needs To be Heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4. Requests Make the request--would you mind repeating back what you heard me say--I want to make sure I am not causing any misunderstandings Specific, Doable, Optional, Positive Language not vague, sweeping, negative, or demands If they refuse, then they must make a counter-request Can you repeat back what I heard--I wasn't as clear as I needed to be You can never make anyone do anything!!!! All conversation is transactional--when you think it is not, then it is usually b/c you are passively not acceding to the request
Many people ask me for book recommendations or want to know my opinion about popular books on communication. In this episode, I review the book “Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life” written by one of my dear teachers, Marshall Rosenberg, PhD. In Marshall's approach there are four sequential steps, which I describe in detail and give you examples about each of them. I also share 10 teachings from the book that have influenced Language Alchemy. Takeaways from this episode: “Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life” by Marshall Rosenburg, PhD has influenced me in many ways. His method has 4 steps. There can be benefits and drawbacks in following the exact system. There are 10 concepts from the book that transform the way you think about communication --- LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Life-Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships (Nonviolent Communication Guides) https://www.amazon.com/Nonviolent-Communication-Language-Life-Changing-Relationships/dp/189200528X Download the FREE 5 steps to redirect your reactivity, which includes a BONUS section about how to communicate on social media: https://www.languagealchemy.com/5steps To ask your communication questions, click here: https://www.languagealchemy.com/podcastquestion To join the mailing list, visit: www.languagealchemy.com For more resources about communication, go to: https://www.languagealchemy.com/blogandvideo Podcast Music composed by Gary Lapow: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1HlMhcNfKIELxYil5mVqDI Produced by The Podcast Space, LLC.

Real change rarely comes in the absence of crisis. When we're comfortable, there's no real deep, emerging drive that is compelling us to really analyze the bedrock upon which we rest. The awakening and change that come out of crisis; a lot of the time it happens during a moment of panic so it's reactive rather than responsive. For me, the crisis that we're in now is the perfect set and setting to begin moving in the right direction as a community. We have to start reaching out to like-minded people, allowing them to speak authentically, and not feel ashamed for feeling or believing in certain things. - Ben Stewart Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE at wellnessforce.com/CURED ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.

What you can do to build an environment that helps you heal and thrive. 323 Charles Eisenstein Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: An Overview Why change can truly only happen in the face of crisis compared to when we are comfortable. The power of pausing and taking a breath before reacting to something someone has said or an event that has happened. How we can make our communities stronger but letting others voice their opinions and not feel shame or guilt for feeling differently. What steps we can take to step away from fear in order to listen to our intuition and use our natural gifts. [12:30] The Lost Art of Dialogue How Josh has navigated the world, relationships, and his beliefs since the beginning of COVID-19. What you can do to respectfully ask permission to share your opinion with someone who has different thoughts on something like face masks. Why Ben believers we've come to the point in our society where we have lost the art of dialogue and good communication. What you can do if you feel bored and you do not have enough to do each day. Why he believes we communicate according to the current state of our nervous system. How to navigate thoughts and feelings that focus on the need to white knuckle and get things done so that we can let go, be present, and be grateful. Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg PhD Why it's good that we don't see eye to eye with people and what we can learn from each other instead of getting irritated and distancing ourselves away from them. 196 Aubrey Marcus Hierosonic How building good, healthy habits will allow your mind and body to function well every day at a sustainable pace. Why being around people with diverse backgrounds, ways of living, and beliefs will help you grow. Exploring the difference between violent communication and sharing why you are upset or triggered. [28:00] Community Wake Up: See the World from Someone Else's Eyes Discussing when it's appropriate for our inner Mama Bear or Papa Bear to come out and protect the people and things that we love. How we can obtain critical thinking skills while experiencing crisis and chaos. Why his wife and family are his biggest teachers and the other mentors that have inspired his journey. Paul Chek | All Is God What powerful lessons he has learned from the people who have trolled his films or disagreed with him on different levels. Different reasons for why we attack one another from seeking connection, wanting to get a rise out of sending that email, or bring someone down who is succeeding. 345 Zach Bush MD 362 Zach Bush MD 096 Daniel Schmachtenberger The moment Ben decided to shift and refine the content he was creating and sharing after an awakening. Loose Change Zeitgeist His mission to help people realize just how powerful they are to make real change happen in the world. [43:00] The Downside to Following the Herd Why irrational and rational fear can sometimes feel like the same thing for our minds. How we can use fear and adrenaline to positively help us and use tools like breathwork to process them. Why Ben finds news and talking about topics like politics nauseating because news stations are not mature enough. The power of encircling a problem and rejuvenating it back to the community. How gossip and talking about others behind their backs have caused people to naturally agree and go along with it in order to not be ex-communicated from the group. The moment we start to abandon ourselves is when want to keep having safety in the herd even if we don't agree with what others are saying or doing. How we can have compassion for people who go with the herd because it's "the right thing to do" when we've made a different decision for ourselves. [52:00] Intellect vs Intuition vs Instinct How we can navigate the world so that we do not become a victim of our own mind and intellect. Why we don't acknowledge this enough: We are a lot more than just one thing. Breaking down instinct vs. intuition and why instinct is more biologically rooted and intuition projects more out into the future. How to uncover what you believe in, what you commit to, and how you express it. Why science is in all of us and how we can awaken our own inner scientist. The difference between science and the data that is coming in for us to frame and philosophize after observation. 206 Dan Pardi How we've become such a lazy society and we're always looking for the quickest shortcut including what to do with our lives and what to believe in. Why having life be so easy for us has led us to lose communion with the earth and with God. [59:00] The Power and Process of Awakening Consciousness in Chaos Why awakening consciousness affects people in ways other than just the Hollywood allure of it all. How cultivating consciousness becomes a daily habit that we breathe into each day. The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell by Aldous Huxley Why the awakening process is something that is always shifting as we continue to be students of life. What will happen when you experience a new awakening phase. Why some thoughts or experiences are meant to fade and maybe come back to you rather than stay in your present consciousness. Exploring the unique journeys we all go on and why we will be awakened to new ideas at different times than other people.

The subtle seeds that Ben will plant in other people's consciousness to see what comes from it without forcibly teaching them something. Why it can be toxic communication to say "this is my truth" or "I'm gonna say whatever I want" and just leave it at that instead of opening up a dialogue. 276 Eric Godsey Why "my truth" is just what is coming to you bluntly and one doesn't have to take it so seriously. Whether or not you should actually speak your truth especially if you have been triggered. How to explore your thoughts and emotions if you have been strongly impacted by what someone has said to you.

The power of being silent or curious and how to use it in our conversations with different people to help one another grow and learn. 312 Kevin Kelly [1:27:00] What Darkness Can Teach Us In Crisis Why Josh believes there are beautiful things coming for the world and how we can build from that positive energy rather than a negative one. 410 Mark Divine The benefits of experiencing different truths at the same time even if they seem contradictory. Exploring the concept of darkness and using it as a technology. How to augment and shift your breathwork practice for different wellness practices. The fact that darkness predates all concepts, psychedelics, and the breath. What it is specifically about the dark that allows people to have a greater connection to knowing themselves. How Ben sets up his films as an initiation or the experience of a process. What Awaken The Darkness will teach you about the Hero's Journey through the avatar of Aubrey Marcus.

How to take advantage of the free, powerful medicine that is within your reach including breathwork and darkness. The beauty and gifts of engaging with life and any difficulties that may come your way. Vipassana Meditation – A Spartan Race For The Mind The power of community to help us survive in difficult times. How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan 326 John Chavez Power Quotes From The Show Building a Relationship with the Nervous System "We have access to our nervous system; you can speak to your nervous system like it's your best friend - in fact, we should because when we come into a better relationship with our nervous system and acknowledge that some things seem really urgent but in what state do you want to start creating the next step? Do you want to do it in the sympathetic nervous system or parasympathetic?" - Ben Stewart Society Awaking: Opening Our Ears To New Ideas "You shouldn't feel bad for having different thoughts or believes than other people. Let's come together as a community and really listen to one another because we're all in this together. I have no clue what superpower these people gleam from believing things different from me so let's all come together, let's pow-wow, let's talk about what's good about this rather than gossiping and putting each other down. It's great when other people have different thoughts than me; I want to learn what that has done to their mindset and how they move forward in the world accordingly because of it. All of us have a gift to share with the world." - Ben Stewart Learning to Trust Your Discernment "Instead of being corned into fear by the media and relying on something outside of yourself to feel safe, trust your discernment. Start trusting your intuition because when you learn to do that then you know when something doesn't feel right. You don't have to have all of the answers or details; just move slower and be more discerning. Even if you slip up - what did you learn from it?" - Ben Stewart Links From Today's Show Gaia | Ben Stewart Ben Stewart Podcast DMT Quest Documentary Waking Infinity News Podcast Gaia | Waking Infinity 323 Charles Eisenstein Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: An Overview Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B.

Nonviolent Communication is an awesome approach to learning how to say what you mean and mean what you say. NVC teaches you to think and talk in a way that tries to serve life, rather than disconnect us from our feelings and needs (the way we're normally taught to communicate). Here's how you can learn NVC: 1. Search “nvc marshall rosenberg” on YouTube and watch the 3-hour video with him in the red shirt. 2. Read his book “Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life” 3. Practice a lot. 4. Be prepared for all your friends to get angry. 5. Keep practicing. Good luck! More about Nonviolent Communication.
A conversation with friend April Showman inspired by the book: "NonViolent Communication A Language of Life" By Marshall B Rosenberg! April and I talk about learning better words, and a MUCH better way of communicating that allows for personal soverenity and a more clear communication of needs without alienating us from our natural state of compassion.

There's so many subtle details that go into communication. If you think about it, communication is more than just talking. During a normal conversation, we have the ability to process the undertones and layers of communication that go on. We intuitively know how to ‘read between the lines'. Communication is so powerful. It can uplift others, and it can discredit and disempower them. Whether you realize it or not, you are walking a fine balance when it comes to communicating with another person as they are not just listening to what you say, but how you are saying it. It's coming up more and more with Kamini's clients. They're having trouble effectively communicating in the workforce or with their partner. It just feels like each person is on their separate planet. We all know that healthy communication is a big part of having healthy relationships, a healthy home, a healthy workspace, and so much more. There is no perfect way to communicate, though. What is true is that you will learn and improve as you get more conscious on how to better express yourself and your needs. You'll find that by expressing yourself better, you won't be punished for it, but rewarded for it instead.

Episode 66 - What is Nonviolent Communication? Hey all! Welcome to June! Despite the unseasonable cold of the Memorial Day weekend here in the mid-Atlantic, it still marks the unofficial beginning of Summer. During this time, many folks plan for a little time away, where they can finally relax and get some rest and some much-needed relaxation. If you’ve ever tried to take a few days off, you might have discovered that sometimes they don’t always go as planned, and the days we set aside as being “off” don’t always meet our expectations. So often, all of our days, including the empty ones, end up getting filled with items from a “to-do” list. What is it that we really expect from our days off, and why do we sometimes feel like we need a recovery day from a vacation? In this podcast, we talk through what might be going on here and suggest that the anxiety and discontent that some folks experience when attempting to have an empty day might be yet another phenomenon that we can chalk up to a communication problem. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a framework or a set of principles we could draw from to have these murky, uncomfortable conversations with ourselves and others? To that end, we present to you the principles of Nonviolent Communication, or NVC, as we understand them from our humble study thus far. NVC operates from the principle that all actions represent strategies to satisfy our needs, and this absolutely includes how we communicate what it is that we’re feeling, and what our needs with respect to those feelings really are. What would happen if we led from that place??? Check it out, and we hope you enjoy! For more information about Nonviolent Communication, check out the following resources.

The world is moving, and the locals aren’t happy about it. When Larry moved to rural California, he was met with hostility. Trip experienced the same thing when he was a volunteer on an Indian reserve. Connected communities don’t like outsiders and Anna has seen how easy it is to fall into a silo with your other “outsider buddies” and never even pick up the local language in a foreign country. Each community you enter into has its own cultural language and it’s important to do a little bit of groundwork and research to properly acclimate beforehand. Key Takeaways Looking beyond Zoom towns, how will the politics and culture change as more people go home or move to a cheaper state? Trip grew up in Washington, DC, and doesn’t remember differing opinions being so divided. People just seemed to respect each other a lot more back then. Larry grew up in a town of 1,200 people. Currently, Larry lives in a rural part of California that leans red on the political spectrum. However, he’s been warned not to drive into certain states with California plates because they’re hated. Every election cycle, someone wants to move to Canada. It’s actually pretty hard to do. Anna has seen people move to new countries without doing any research on the culture or the long-term residency requirements. Buying a new iPhone in Costa Rica is double the price than what you can get in the United States. Shipping things from Amazon into the country is expensive! Trip shares a story about Trader Joe’s vs. Pirate Joe’s in Canada. When Larry first moved to this part of California, there was not one friendly person to greet him because they knew he was an outsider. Trip encountered something similar when he worked on an Indian reservation. A lot of people are moving; the key is to understand the culture you’re about to enter into and understand the locals may be hostile. Some city folk end up calling 911 when they see a bear. That’s not how things are done outside of the city. Anna went to the United States, and because it’s so diverse, she had no idea who was a friend or foe if they were walking towards her after dark. She needed a culture buddy. Larry experienced the same thing in China. He had no clue what was a safe neighborhood or not. Anna believes we’ll still be seeing silos of the “outsider folk” in a community and they won’t make an effort to get to know the heart of the community they’re moving into. You need to make an active effort to integrate with the local scene because the locals aren’t always going to welcome you with open arms. Larry believes the distribution of people will still be good for us as a whole. However, there will be some growing pains. We’ve heard about “fly-over states,” but it’s going to be “fly-into states.” It’s so easy to compare how your old life was so much better than this new or smaller community you’re now a part of, but the locals will get tired of hearing it. Believe it or not, you can find common ground with people who perceive you to be a murderer. Anna explains.

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
"You shouldn't dream your film, you should make it!" —Steven Spielberg To live actively requires we take action. Seems simple enough, but if teaching my students as well as myself to refrain from using passive verbs versus active verbs in writing indicates anything, defaulting to the passive is happens to be a hard habit to break. What if we are defaulting in the same way in our everyday life and, even more largely, in our vision of how our journey will unfold? A new-to-me podcast, Solo: The Single Person's Guide to a Remarkable Life, shared an insightful approach to living life which caught my attention immediately. What if we, instead of being the hero of our own lives, choose to be the director? Think about it for a moment. When we look at a film from the point-of-view from the real world, the hero in the film/movie/novel/play merely follows the directions of the person behind the camera - the Greta Gerwigs (Oscar nominated director for Little Women), the Kathryn Bigelow (Oscar winning director for The Hurt Locker), the Steven Spielbergs (Oscar winning director for Lincoln), the Amma Asantes (Mrs. America), the Jennifer Getzingers (Orange is the New Black and Mad Men), the Julie Delpys (2 Days in Paris), and the Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman). “Humble perseverance and the ability to observe and grow, in pursuit of making what you love and believe in. Really. THAT is the secret”. —Patty Jenkins, director of Wonder Woman To be the director of our lives assumes the responsibility of having a larger vision for the purpose of each scene, each chapter; however, within each moment, each interaction and revelation, the director knows fully how to craft a scene so as to bring forth a dedication to being present, fully engaged and intentionally clear and knowing about living fully. Being a hero, in theory, is not a bad directive, but it neglects the reality of being a hero - whether saving themselves or another or an entire vast swath of others - the climatic drama of adversity is assumed. And then there is the tragic hero. No thank you. This is not to say that we can direct ourselves to avoid all conflict and adversity. No. From such unwanted and unplanned pains, we grow, we learn, and we gain wisdom, clarity, and strength; however, if we only relegate ourselves to being the hero, we follow a script written by another and directed by someone else as well. While there have been directors who directed themselves, there is a reason why only one has done so and been able to capture an Oscar for both roles - Roberto Benigini in Life is Beautiful (1999), which also one for best Foreign Film as well. It's hard to see yourself clearly - your actions, facial expressions, energy on screen with another, etc.. But wait, if you direct your life, aren't you also the hero? Valid point, and an important one to make. Yes. You are in all actuality both the director and the hero, but again, the director decides who leaves a scene when, how the interactions with others will play out, which details must be included in a shot to further understanding for the audience, what remains out of the shot, the colors of the attire, where the scene is set, the background, the music, all of the details as well as the over-arching storyline (and while often the director is also the playwright or at the very least has some say in how the screenplay is depicted and can mold and tweak it to what would be best for the film, the director has the full reins of the production). What I am saying is we must not forget our primary job - to be the director of our one and only life. Let's take a look at everyday and large over-arching choices and actions imperative for directing our lives well. 1.Who are you? Taking the time to know yourself, unearth your talents, becoming honest about your weaknesses but refusing to let them halt the direction you wish to travel sits at the foundation of a well-lived life. ~Read this three-part series on How to Get To Know Yourself ~Read/Listen to this post/episode to discover how knowing ourselves is the most important ingredient for a healthy relationship with another (episode #179) 2. Learn how to love well Loving well is a skill. We do not know innately how to love another human being as doing so involves emotional intelligence and self-awareness. Models of love or what is purported as love surround us, but many are faulty and derive from a genesis rooted in control, insecurity and many other unhealthy constructs. To follow leads to pain. Knowing leads to peace. Know how to love, and life will blossom. ~In episode #287, discover 5 Things to Do to Build a Healthy Relationship (inspired by the book - How to Be An Adult in a Relationship) ~Listen to episode #166 to discover how to be One Half of a Healthy Relationship ~One of my favorite books on love and being loving in a relationship inspired episode #128 - The Quest for a Soulmate: The Myth Hindering an Amazing Love Life 3. Understand the value of boundaries and understand they will evolve Boundaries define us, as Henry Cloud reminds. Literally, the lines we put in our lives define what we will step forward and try and what we will not. Boundaries can limit us. Boundaries can protect us. Boundaries paradoxically can set us free. Knowing how to set boundaries after we have discovered what our boundaries need to be for the chapter in our life we find ourselves gifts us with a powerful foundation. Without boundaries, the wind can take us where it will because we don't know what where we want to go and we certainly don't know how to head in the right direction. On the flipside, rigidity when it comes to boundaries can be harmful if it prevents us from exploring what we are capable of sharing with the world. Ah, a tenuous dance which requires of each of us to do our own homework, not follow, because it is our heart, our life that will be set free when we find the sweet spot between the right boundaries and vulnerability. (Listen to episode #126 to discover the Powerful Couple that is Boundaries & Vulnerability.) 4. Learn the skill of effective nonviolent communication For every director who wins praise from their cast and crew, there is a director who bullies, rants and whines. Effective communication, nonviolent communication, is a skill we must choose to learn if we want to have a fulfilling life and strong and healthy relationships with others. To model said communication, observe someone who understands the components of nonviolent communication certainly helps us to acquire the skill, but we must take it one step further to understand why they are communicating as they are. We must again be the student for our lives to reach their fullest potential. As I shared in episode #293, I highly recommend reading Marshall Rosenberg's book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life. I have read and will reread this book for understanding how to understand anger, understanding the four basic steps of clear, effective, empathetic communication, and how to honor my own journey, letting go of guilt, shame, anything the outside world wishes me to feel in order to stop me from traveling a path that brings joy. Effective communication with ourselves and others is the way toward directing an award-winning life to continue with the analogy. To clearly convey and know what you wish to materialize, you need to be able to work with others being empathetic and aware along the way, not only of those who will walk with you or cross your path, but with yourself. 5. Understand and practice the fundamental physical components of you To delve a bit deeper into the physical aspect of #1, knowing how your body, your mind, your temperament function and how they can function well will give you a roadmap of how to design the set of your life. It will also help you clearly understand what your boundaries need to be. 6. Be Brave Living an active life, being the director of your own life demands of you to take action. You cannot wait to see what someone else thinks, whether someone else approves, whether the prices will be this or that or another, at some point, you simply need to act. Wait a second, you may be saying, didn't I say each of us is the director not the actor? Okay, perhaps a poor choice of words, but not really. Remember, you are the director of those actions. You decide when to take the first steps, when to set out and try something for the first time, when to let go, when to say yes, when to determine a certain chapter of your life has now concluded and you will be stepping into the next. Being brave. A choice made by the director, and it is no act. Being brave takes raw courage after months, perhaps years of deliberating about when or if you should indeed do just that - be brave. Let me reassure you, being brave will set you free. In the meantime, you will quake, but you will not crumble if what you seek aligns with what you know to be true about yourself (remember #1). “Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.” —Helen Keller The analogy of the director does not perfectly align with living our one and only life. After all, we are talking about a fictitious story capable of being enjoyed for generations. Our lives are anything but fictitious. No, we know our lives are all too real, but do we? I ask this question because what if poet David Whyte correctly nailed it when he wrote "What if the world is holding its breath - waiting for you to take the place only you can fill?" Why aren't we filling it? Perhaps because we have chosen to follow someone else's script, and not direct our own. Perhaps because we have forgotten to write our own script and direct it as well. We can have chapters in our own lives, the one prior being necessary for the next, not less relevant or bad, simply vital to live the journey we are on, trusting the steps we need to take in a new direction. Today, tap yourself, hire yourself, assign yourself purposely and intentionally as the director of your life, and I am confident, you will begin to see the positive and desired change which may have only been a dream previously.

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
"When we speak a language that denies us choice, we forget the life in ourselves for a robotlike mentality that disconnects us from our own core." —Marshall Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life Two lives may look like one another, but one may indeed be fulfilling, while the other a life of disdain and pain. Choosing to live as we do versus living a life out of an expectation, obligation, avoidance of guilt, approval, to avoid shame, or to gain money is to choose a life of integrity according to Marshall Rosenberg. When we choose a life of integrity, we discover the ability to tap into our essential and most sincere self, and enable ourselves to share with the world the gift and talent only we can give. While sharing a list of actions to refrain from taking as to avoid the latter of the two options mentioned above would certainly simplify how to choose to live, there is no such universal list. Rather, the list of what we choose to do versus what we do out of a feeling of "have-to" will be unique to each of us. How can we discern the difference? Rosenberg's determinating factor is if the sole motivating force for our actions comes from a place to "simply make life wonderful for others and ourselves" then we are choosing the life we are living. And the latter - making life wonderful for ourselves - is perhaps the most important. We must pay attention to our needs. Rosenberg writes "we cultivate self-compassion by consciously choosing in daily life to act only in service to our own needs and values rather than out of duty, for extrinsic rewards or to avoid guilt, shame and punishment". Understanding fully and completely what our needs are is the homework we each must tend to in order to live a life everyday that we enjoy living. I highly recommend reading Rosenberg's book as he delineates clearly and in great detail the common societal pushback to his assertion about choosing how you live versus adhering to a life out of anything but choosing it. The result of any action made void of choice is a deprivation of joy at the very least and resentment, detestation, misery, anger, and a loss of self and a denial to the world of the uniquenesss only we can share at the very worst. We have been taught falsely and ironically selfishly by outside institutions of many sorts to believe choosing and valuing our needs is hedonistic, wrong and, self-absorbed. Primarily we have accepted such a purported claim because their "marketing department" is skilled in the ways of psychology as they tap into our perceived need to be accepted - approved. However, the needs Rosenberg writes about are fundamental to valuing ourselves, and thus living a life of integrity. "In fact, when we do things solely in the spirit of enhancing life [for others AND ourselves], we will find others appreciating us. Their appreciation, however, is only a feedback mechanism confirming that our efforts had the intended effect. The recognition that we have chosen to use our power to serve life and have done so successfully brings us the genuine joy of celebrating ourselves in a way that approval from others can never offer." When we seek to live a life of choice, we contribute positively to the world, and that means contributing positively to others' lives, and the cycle continues forward as others choose to tap into their unique gifts and talents that contribute positively without expectations, simply out of joy of living the life we have the opportunity to live each day. At the core, we are seeking joy, thus contentment, and both can only be found within. To live a life out of obligation, guilt, to avoid pain, to avoid shame, may be seen as a survival mechanism, but don't we want to thrive? When we permit ourselves the freedom to fully seek joy in living - to fulfill our unique needs, it becomes far easier to stop the judgment, comparison, blame, criticism, insults, put-down, and labels. Why? Because we recognize each of these negative and unhelpful behaviors are reactions to living a life void of choice. When we take responsibility for our lives, we take on a weighty task of exploration of our feelings and needs. For so long and in so many cultures, current and past, American and endless others, feelings have been equated to weakness. But human beings have feelings and when we acknowledge them in ourselves, it is far easier to observe them and communicate healthily and helpfully with others to deepen understanding and to discover empathy. Rosenberg shares it is empathy that is often the missing ingredient in frayed relationships - not only an empathy to acknowledge fully and entirely what others are feeling, but to refrain from being empathetic to ourselves. What do we each need? Why do we feel pained after a conversation with a loved one we are "supposed" to have a relationship with? Why do we feel hurt and disconnected when we go about tasks we thought we chose of our own free-will? Everyone around us applauded when we made said decision, but why doesn't it feel right within ourselves? Each of these and many more feelings are what each of us needs to explore to determine how to live a life we love living. Choice is at the heart of living with true contentment, not obligation, not duty, not to avoid guilt, not to avoid punishment. Choose you and let others choose for themselves as well. The journey forward of both individuals will be unknown, but when lived by choosing the path will be fulfilling and full of respect and true love for ourselves and for those we have set free to be who they truly have always been. ~Read Marshall Rosenberg's book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life Petit Plaisir: —New episode of The Hookup Plan (Plan Coeur), Season 2 - The Lockdown Plan, episode #7 ~The Simple Sophisticate, episode #293 ~Subscribe to The Simple Sophisticate: iTunes | Stitcher | iHeartRadio | YouTube | Spotify ~Note: Some links shared today are affiliates in which upon purchase TSLL receives a small commission.

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
Books about happiness ubiquitously fill the publishing world, but the fundamentals of happiness quite simply are just that, simple. We become overwhelmed, and then it becomes easier to fixate, and often superficially so, which expends our finite energy rather than focusing our attention on the core fundamentals and choices of what happiness requires to be deeply and sincerely felt. When the directions are wrong you will never see materialize what you desire. Stop the pursuit. This is something I’ve discussed on the blog before, but I think it is worth exploring again. This time, I am going to explore more concretely the fundamental components of experiences real happiness, and much more of it in our everydays. Let's get to the seven truths below. 1.Discover a tune that is melodic for you If you enjoy living your life, your everyday life, happiness is the result. Continually, here on TSLL, I have shared that contentment is the feeling we can have at all times. Happiness cannot be infinite 24-hours a day. Happiness is an outcome. Contentment is a state or way of traveling. I had it entirely wrong when I was younger, doodling “Be Happy” on my high school peechee folder while daydreaming in class. You cannot be happy constantly, but you can be content along the way to happy. 2. Spend time doing tasks that enable you to lose track of time Getting lost in a project, exploring a new [enter a place/area of curiosity], resting your mind and being in a healthy way, these will divert your attention naturally away from checking the clock. And when you are thinking about what’s next, you are present. And when you are engaged fully in the present moment, you have more chances of being happy. 3. Sharing time with loved ones to simply be in each others’ company. Giving your life space to be together, even if in silence, can be incredibly peaceful, supportive and loving. A contentment shared is happiness reached. 4. Not having existential worries because consciously you know your health, finances and basic needs are tended to Through the choices we make, we can build the sound and stable foundation that will enable us to feel content in our everydays. Everyone will make choices which align uniquely with their journey which is why outsiders may define the choices we make to usher in more happiness for ourselves as sacrifices. However, a choice is not a sacrifice if it brings you closer and eventually to a way of living that brings you peace and contentment. It is when we achieve contentment that more happy moments can be experienced and savored. 5. Refraining from thinking at any time “when I achieve [enter goal]” or when [enter aupposed life milestone], then I can be happy. Focusing only on the outcome and forgetting about how we travel to arrive at the destination is a recipe for unhappiness. However, if the travel does not involve contentment, the outcome you seek is not as likely. Why? It is when you enjoy the journey, when you can be yourself along the way, that the outcome is relinquished, thereby not putting so much pressure on the outcome to hold all the goodness. It is when we expect or assume that we step out of being present along the way, hurting ourselves and others along the way, and thus tainting the outcome so it can never be a source of real happiness if ever it is reached. 6. Find peace in how you travel through life How you speak and think of yourself, how you engage with others - communication with words, body language, etc. - contentment is felt in our mode of travel, and no matter life’s circumstances, it can be constant. Sleeping well and deep and long is a mode of travel as it allows you to wake up with a clear mind, acting from a place of calm, clarity and full awareness. Taking breaks when our mind needs it, ending the ‘work’ part of our day when we can no longer be productive, eating well and slowing down to savor it, slowing down and refraining from default patterns of speech, being fully aware and listening, then thinking well about what we have heard before responding - each of these ideas and practices of day-to-day living are modes/ways of traveling that cultivate contentment as we move through our days. ~Book to explore: Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall Rosenberg 7. Letting go of others’ maps for our lives Certainly a courageous decision. A decision which is exceedingly difficult during the first and second chapter of our journey, but with time and support, the journey becomes easier and far more rewarding than any other direction would or could have offered. All of this is to say that the key to happiness is to discover and cultivate contentment in our everydays so that the happiness deepens and more frequently can be fully observed, savored and appreciated. ~Please do tune to the audio version as each point above is discussed in much more depth. Check out TSLL's first two books which discover the idea of cultivating a life of contentment that is uniquely your own. ~Book #1 (2014): Choosing The Simply Luxurious Life: A Modern Woman's Guide ~Book #2 (2018): Living The Simply Luxurious Life: Making Your Everyday Extraordinary and Discovering Your Best Self Petit Plaisir ~Sunset in the Blue by Melody Gardot (October 2020) Visit Melody Gardot's website Learn more about the worldwide collaboration for the song "From Paris with Love" https://youtu.be/RCckn1H5DIE Sponsors for Today's Episode: Wine.com/simple Sanebox.com/sophisticate Issuu.com/podcast use promo code Sophisticate Betterhelp.com/simple ~The Simple Sophisticate, episode #292 ~Subscribe to The Simple Sophisticate: iTunes | Stitcher | iHeartRadio | YouTube | Spotify

"It is so important, I think, to name the inner voice. Mine is named Lennie, he's kind of a jerk, but also, Lennie needs support" - Elise B Amanda brings on her friend and Vocal Warrior, Elise Besler. Elise is a Voice Teacher and Voice Empowerment Coach based in Halifax NS Canada. She has an extensive performing career as a singer songwriter, and is the creator and founder of her Voice and Voice Empowerment training facility, Nusong Studio. Elise believes in the power of the human voice to heal and create change. She works with Singers and Public Speakers to help them gain skill and confidence and overturn limiting beliefs to own their voices and rock the mic! In today's episode, they discuss: How to identify, name and manage that every present "inner critic". They discuss what is the purpose of the inner critic and how to handle it when it invades your thoughts or actions. Elise shares about how she treats her "inner voice" in a way that you might not expect! They talk about how to use our voice to say yes or no to the things we want to ACTUALLY say yes or no to...in an honest and authentic way. Elise discusses the importance of making sure the boundaries you set around yourself are yours and not those of your inner voice. You get to control of what you let in and out. Are you afraid of conflict? Then listen as they both dive a bit into how to have non-violent communication during disagreements in a way that benefits both people, even if you're insanely angry. This is very timely when wanting to use our voices to call out racial injustice. To practice this skill, she recommends a book called "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshal Rosenberg.

Soul Soil: Where Agriculture and Spirit Intersect with Brooke Kornegay
Imagine your daily grind--your house, your car, your commute, your job....Now imagine what it would be like to spend days camping in the woods, drinking spring water, breathing clean mountain air, eating freshly picked foods, and spending all day in Nature...learning about growing and gathering cultivated and wild food, making tools, tracking, tanning hides, natural building, and living in a community. What would happen to your energy? Your spirit? Natalie Bogwalker is a fan of watching the transformation that takes place when a guest spends days on her property, exploring their relationship with the land. Natalie is the founder and director of Wild Abundance, a permaculture and homestead school. She’s passionate about teaching and sharing skills that are essential for living harmoniously within the natural systems of the earth. She and her family live at the Wild Abundance homestead campus in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Natalie spends her time harvesting in the wild, building, gardening, planting, putting up food, growing, teaching, connecting with the community, and playing with her daughter. Amidst all of this she’s constantly scheming about how to introduce more people to Earth-based living, while worshipping the beauty around her. In the midst of all the turmoil of our modern society, Natalie reminds us to breathe deeply, be outside, put one foot in front of the other, and find like-minded people for support and inspiration.

There are all kinds of emergencies, but did you know that many people experience what is called a spiritual emergency? A spiritual emergency or spiritual crisis can be scary and sudden with symptoms such as hearing voices and seeing visions, but it can also be an opportunity for healing and for many, it's a powerful catalyst for spiritual growth. Join us in our conversation with Lisa Wheeler, a Licensed Professional Counselor, as she explains how she helps people through these kinds of emergencies. During this conversation Lisa shares her own experiences that led her to eventually do the kind of work she does now. Topics that are covered in this episode include: What is Spiritual Emergence and the Spiritual Emergence Network? Lisa's spiritual crisis and paranormal experiences. The power of emotions, the energy behind them, and the information they provide us with. The importance of speaking your truth and being assertive. Is a spiritual crisis planned by the soul? Coping with a spiritual crisis. Lisa's work with teens and families through a spiritual crisis Do the people in your life reflect your inner spiritual growth? Effective paths to healing. Recommended reading: Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg Lisa Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor whose area of special interest is helping individuals whose experiences fall outside of the cultural norm, i.e. hearing voices, seeing visions/entities, lucid dreaming, and unexplained knowing, among others. Lisa believes that these creative mechanisms are organic, relevant, and serve to balance out the individual. When these expressions are collaboratively examined in a gentle and non-judgemental manner, the possibilities for the individual are endless. Whether you sense events before they happen, see the walking dead, or have continual experiences that you find difficult to accept and talk about due to shame, you have come to the right place.

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive
Today’s episode pulls together a lot of threads from previous shows, and will also give you some really concrete new tools using what’s called Nonviolent Communication to support you in your parenting. It’s not like these are concepts that we’ve never discussed before, but sometimes hearing them in a different framework can be the key to making them ‘click’ for you. Our guest Christine King has been teaching these techniques to college students, teachers, and parents for over 17 years. And I’m releasing this particular interview today because these tools are ones we’re learning how to use in the free online workshop that I’m kicking off on Monday July 8th. In the workshop we’re going to spend a couple of weeks learning why our children trigger us so much and how to stop being triggered, and how we can move beyond the power struggles we get caught up in with our children so we can have the kind of relationship with them where their true needs as people are respected and met – and so are ours.

I'm so excited for today's episode because I think it really pulls together a lot of threads from previous shows and it will also give you some really concrete new tools to support you in your parenting. It’s not like these are concepts that we've never discussed before, but sometimes hearing them in a different framework can be the key to making them click for you. I'm releasing this particular interview today because these tools are ones we are learning how to use and the challenge that I'm kicking off on Monday, July 8th. In the challenge, we're going to spend a couple of weeks learning why our children trigger us so much and how to stop being triggered and how we can move beyond the power struggles we get caught up in with our children so we can have the kind of relationship with them where their true needs as people are respected and met and so our ours. Jen: 00:02:30 To help us with part of this, I'd like to introduce my guest, Christine King. Christine is a credential K12 teacher, mother of three and describes herself as a teacher and perpetual student. She says on her website that when she discovered the tool we're going to discuss today, which is called Nonviolent Communication or NVC “it seemed like my entire worldview fell into place my lifelong interest in politics and justice, self-transformation and mindfulness.” Christine is a center for nonviolent communication certified trainer and has been teaching NVC principles and strategies to children, college students, teachers and parents for over 17 years. Currently, she teaches NVC at San Quentin State Prison and at the University of California. Today, we're going to talk about how to bring NVC, which helps us to truly understand ourselves and our children to bring a new depth of relationship...

GUEST: MARTIN UCIK Martin Ucik is a German born entrepreneur who trained with Eckhart Tolle as a Power Of Now group facilitator and founded www.singles2couples.org, an Association for Healthy Relationships. His studies of Ken Wilber’s Integral Model allowed him to integrate his personal experiences as a divorced father and the wisdom from over 200 relationship books into Integral Relationships: A Manual for Men which Ken Wilber calls “a terrific book!” and his new book Sex Purpose Love. (Please listen to the podcast episode or read the transcript to hear explanations, stories and examples.) LISTENERS’ QUESTIONS: First listener’s question: “I stumbled upon your podcast on Spotify and since then have found great value in it with my current relationship of 1.5 years. If possible I have some questions/topic that I would love to hear you cover. … One relationship question/topic that is a big stressor in my relationship is: My boyfriend is a police officer and in the National Guard. His jobs have really changed him like how he judges people really quickly and so on. Have you ever covered a topic similar to this?” Second listener’s question: “My worry is that I’ve grown and matured in my thinking over the past couple months and that my boyfriend and I won’t be on the same page. I tend to overthink and my boyfriend tries to simplify things, so oftentimes we balance each other out. However there are times when I think I’m maturing a lot faster than him and it sort of creates a mental gap between us. I’m not sure if that’s because we’re not compatible or if there’s a better way to communicate.” INTEGRAL THEORY Lines of development 5 stages of spiritual development 8 stages of consciousness 4 quadrants Personality matrix Developmental Lines for Relationship, based on Martin Ucik’s approach: Emotional availability Consciousness development Sexual development Spiritual development Anima/animus 8 STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT, BY MARTIN UCIK How we see the world and how we communicate. Survival Magical thinking Ego centric Mythic Rational Pluralistic Integral Transpersonal “Experience without theory is blind but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.” by Immanuel Kant How partners meet each other matters. In the past, partners would meet each other in places where they were likely to have similar perspectives, beliefs, and world views, like college, church, and interest based groups. It was more likely that partners would be at similar stages of consciousness. Whereas today, partners are meeting each other online and are more likely to be at different stages of consciousness, which poses great difficulty for couples. How do you determine what stage of development as person is in? Listen to what really matters to them. What do you recommend for a couple that is dealing with being at different stages of development? Talk about your experience. Look at the stages of consciousness together. Be gentle in your approach with one another. Invite an openness and a willingness to explore. Sometimes, people will not be ready or willing to grow and develop.

Her experience of empowering herself and others was so transformative and inspiring that she pursued a Whole Person Coach® certification and launched a business to help women recognize and make the most of their unique gifts, and—like her—spend the rest of their lives doing work they’re madly in love with.

Speaking of Partnership: Personal Stories of the Power and Payoffs of Partnership
Clayton Olson has been empowering individuals and couples from around the world to find harmony and authenticity in their relationships. A Certified Coach and Master NLP Practitioner, Clayton takes a holistic approach to carefully reconstructing what is truly possible for his clients. Through his work he has revitalized relationships, brought together lost loves, and witnessed clients finding their soul mates. Clayton's content has been seen on Fox News magazine, Huffington Post, The Goodmen Project and his work has been featured on The View. Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra The relationships we create outside of us are a deeper reflection of what we create inside of us. When You Tripped Up When Clayton was a teenager he had his first relationship and he was in love. But he had no back bone in the relationship. He became a chameleon and tried to be whatever she wanted him to be so she would love him the way that he loved her. As you might imagine, it ended horribly. And it was so painful that he created a contract with himself to never let this happen again. Never again be that open and vulnerable. Clayton spent the next 7 - 10 years moving through life being extremely protective. And him having needs from his partner was acceptable. This led to superficial relationships. Proudest moment in partnership Clayton and his recent partner went through a tough time recently. And they ended their relationship for about 6 weeks. During this time apart it was so difficult, and they both grew tremendously. He sat with the pain and actually felt it and allowed the pain to carve him up. Through this separation and being in a place of uncertainty led to both of them getting powerful perspective on themselves. Because of this they were able to come back together and reunite. Now the relationship has a completely new flavor to it. They did not get back together out of a fear of being alone. They came in with their eyes wide open and reunited from a place of love and choice. What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received? To be in love and to love someone is to continually risk. And to trust that no matter what happens, you’re strong enough to get through it. And if you do get hurt, it is better than not having loved.

How can the Nonviolent Communication Method by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg improve your life? Want to sell your home? Get a FREE home value report. Want to buy a home? Search all homes for sale.Conflict resolution is a major aspect of my job. I want to share some of the top communication strategies I use to get people working together.Most of the strategies I use are based on the work of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, a true pioneer who invented the Nonviolent Communication Method. This method has been used successfully for many years to do everything from negotiating peace in the Middle East to negotiating peace between warring couples or children and parents. His method is even used by top hostage negotiators all over the world.“Using this statement helps you start a really productive conversation. Of course, I can only go over a few tips with you today, so make sure you check out his book called “Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life.”Dr. Rosenberg’s method is based on the fact that as human beings, we have the same needs and experience the same emotions. The point of nonviolent communication is to get to the heart of the matter, which isn’t easy. The problem is that most of us don’t have a comprehensive vocabulary for our feelings or our needs. You can visit www.cnvc.org/training/needs-inventory for a free Needs and Feelings Inventory list to get a handle on things. You can even message me and I will email you a copy of each.That is a good place to get started, but how can you use this method in your day-to-day life?Let’s say that you get home from work really late and that your significant other appears to be upset the minute that you walk in the door. You would use this statement: “Honey, are you feeling _____ because you need _____?” Of course, it is up to you to guess what your significant other is feeling and what they need.It can be challenging to use this statement, especially if your significant other greets you by saying, “You are the most insensitive person I’ve ever met.” Don’t get angry. Simply say, “Are you feeling angry because you need to feel important and loved?”This is a magic formula. People immediately drop their defenses before they respond. They will either say, “Yes, that is exactly it,” or “No, that’s not it at all.”Now, you did not agree or disagree with them or rise to the bait; asking them this question helps you strike right to the heart of the matter. What are they feeling and what are they needing? Even if you didn’t accurately guess what they need and feel, you opened up the opportunity to have a really productive conversation.That is just a tidbit of what nonviolent communication has to offer. Check out this video of a workshop by Dr. Rosenberg for more information. He really shows you how to start using nonviolent communication in your everyday life.I hope you found this information useful. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to speaking with you!
Biz and Theresa wonder if everyone deserves a trophy or if the cut-and-dry world of "1st, 2nd and 3rd Place" make us stronger.

ACT NOW – SPOTS ARE FILLING UP! A Gift: For the first 40 people who contact me, I am offering a complimentary strategy session to help you learn effective strategies for how to improve your relationship! To book your session and discover the keys to keeping your relationship strong, just email me and let me know when is a good time for you and your significant other. LISTENER’S QUESTION: “If I see that every morning when I work from home my partner is rushing to get the kids out the door to daycare and is 5 or so minutes late, every time. She is able to stay in the home. I pay all the bills. I also know that this is happening on days when I am not there. It is very hard to rush 3-5 Yo’s, things just take time. I think she needs to get out of bed at 7:30 instead of 8 to give herself (and the kids) more time so she can start some of the process’s earlier. Usually I am gone to work as I leave the house at 6:30. I think this would alleviate the stress or being late every day. I’m worried that suggesting such a thing would cause a “conflict” where she would be mad at me. So therefore I won’t say anything. I guess I just don’t know how to be. I really like/want to talk discuss everything and she doesn’t. I realized that her and I have different definitions of peace. She feels peaceful when there is no “confrontation” even if that means we don’t talk. I want to talk about everything. I want to work through everything and have all our feelings out on the table. I’m very much and extrovert and she is an introvert, in terms of wanting to interact physically or emotionally. I feel like we are so different. Our conversations always go so poorly, I end up feeling like I’m so wrong and in order to have the closeness that I crave I just “can’t say anything”. I’m not even clear on what is reasonable or ok to say/suggest.” TIPS: 1. Recognize Differences in You and Your Partner’s Style and Pacing Extrovert’s are typically comfortable verbally and processing aloud. Introvert’s are usually more comfortable reflecting and processing internally. 2.Make Room for Your Partner. Slow down so that you can connect with your partner. Listen for the emotional tone of your partner and try to attune to them. Strive for collaboration. 3. Gain Awareness Notice opinions or judgements. What is it like for me when she is late? What would her being on time allow me to feel? What is it that I am wanting or needing? Is this something that I can accept? (This question may give you a better sense of your boundaries.) 4. Get Curious What is her experience in the morning? What does being late do for her (Is she needing more sleep? Is she needing a deadline to motivate her in the morning? Is she used to running on adrenaline and stress?) Get to know her experience more fully. 5. Work Towards Constructive Communication How can communicating feel comfortable for both of you? Practice relational communication Talk about you and your feelings rather than expressing judgments or opinions of your partner. Relational communication is very different from other types of communication that you might use at work or in other areas of your life. Get support to create a new communication patterns.

Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
COMMON MARRIAGE ISSUES These are my podcast show notes. Be sure to listen to the full episode to hear stories, examples, and more tips. Over the last few weeks, I have been addressing a listener’s question. She basically asked, “What do you do when you have gotten into a pattern of not avoiding the Nine Destructive Behaviors in relationship conflict? Also, how do you deal with past hurts in this regard.” To answer her question, I first addressed The Most Important Ingredient To Shifting Conflicts. In my next podcast, I talked about Being The Best You Can Be In Relationship. Third in the podcast series, I discussed How To Repair & Resolve Hurt In Relationship. Today, I am talking about How To Clear An Issue With Your Spouse/Partner. Basically, I am discussing the 7 important elements to successful communication when you are having an issue with your partner. The exercise I refer to in this episode is A Step-By-Step Guide To Turn Any Argument Into Effective Communication. HOW TO CLEAR COMMON MARRIAGE ISSUES: 1. LEARN TO TAKE PERSPECTIVE The purpose of this communication exercise is to take perspective. As you genuinely put yourself in your partner’s shoes, you can gain new understandings and awarenesses you would have not otherwise gained. You and your partner will feel emotionally closer and connected as you both share and authentically listen to one another. 2. DON’T INITIATE THE CONVERSATION WITH A ONE TRACK MIND You get stuck because you want your spouse/partner to validate and acknowledge your experience. You want them to take ownership for their impact on you and you want them to be understanding and sympathetic to your feelings. However, if you lead with trying to get them to take ownership, it is likely they will push back and be defensive. If both of you are wanting to be heard at the same time, then you can get stuck in a power struggle. 3. REPRIORITIZE THE GOAL If your goal is to have more understanding and resolution, then it is important to shift the priority (from trying to be heard exclusively) to engaging in a process together. Ideally, you will both be working towards the common goal. It is almost like the adult version of sharing when you do not want to. 4. LEARN THIS NEW LANGUAGE TOGETHER Communication is a two-way process. There is a sender and a receiver. It isn’t communication if the receiver can’t understand the message. It would be like speaking a foreign language to someone but they cannot understand you. 5. RECOGNIZE THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY There is a small window of opportunity to practice this exercise. If you are too upset, you may be too defensive and triggered to be open to learning. “Do I want to find resolution?” If “yes,” then proceed. If “no,” then take some space. Only you can decide if you will fully participate. 6. MOTIVATION What comes first: inspiration and motivation or taking action on a task that you don’t really want to do (i.e. cleaning chore or homework assignment)? People who think motivation comes first tend to procrastinate. If you wait for inspiration or motivation, it may never come. Motivation often comes after taking action. “Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have — and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up.” ~ James Belasco and Ralph Stayer 7. THIS EXERCISE IS HARD! It takes a great deal of strength to tolerate your discomfort to be present to your partner’s pain, especially when your partner has an issue with you. This is part of the growing, developing, and maturing that relationship/marriage offers us. Knowing you will feel closer, more connected, intimate, and bonded will help inspire you to put forth the effort.
