Seamus Stackpoole is my very open, honest and generous guest this week. Seamus chats about his experience of losing weight, making healthier life choices, eating better and exercising more. We also try to answer the question: WHY is it SO DIFFICULT for adults to do what's best for themselves and their own health? What is it about us that causes us to make dreadful decisions?  We also talk about the language and mentality around food, weight loss etc.  This was a great chat. Thanks to Seamus for allowing us to discuss this issue.  Please like and share the podcast... but above all, enjoy! :)

Kelly Larson has climbed mountains. Literally and figuratively.   (Check out her TED talk  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49CaCeC4C_Y)!  As the CEO of Aquarian Space, there’s always challenges to be overcome, just like the challenges we must overcome within our universe. Major space weather events. Solar flares, coronal mass ejections. Don’t worry, Kelly’s working on it.  Beth and Kelly share a casual conversation that answers:    What’s more difficult? Being a CEO to a space start-up, or completing a Ph.D.?  What motivates Kelly to climb mountains when it can be SO DIFFICULT?  A LOT of our asteroid detection is done by volunteers. This global threat has some great people working on this and they’re doing a great job. Is it enough?  Which leadership traits can be implemented from years of yoga practice and instruction?    “This industry is a key essential about life… our capacity to be in touch with the wonder and the awe that space reminds us of. To be in touch with that, I believe, makes us better humans.”-Kelly Larson from Casual Space Podcast  About Kelly Larson: CEO of Aquarian Space, TEDx speaker and a serial entrepreneur, Kelly Larson, ABD, is an innovator at the intersection of business, science and leadership. As a farm girl grown into a Yoga and transformation entrepreneur turned space CEO, she trail-blazes new business ventures and connects people and ideas across the globe. Kelly is widely known for her innovative approaches to business and her strategic range. She currently specializes in aerospace market-ready development strategies with an emphasis in collaborative international partnerships and high-level entrepreneurial ventures. Kelly sees that we can only develop a strong interplanetary economy together.  “We’re going to network the solar system so that people going to Jupiter, anybody that wants to go out into space can send a signal back to Earth- we’re offering a higher data capacity option.”  About Aquarian Space: https://aquariandevices.com/ Aquarian Space (formerly Devices) is the world’s first commercial Space Based Interplanetary Communications Provider.  Their Space Based Relay Network allows customers to send and receive high volumes of uninterrupted streaming data quickly and reliably, 24/7.  Aquarian Devices is building the foundational infrastructure for a fully networked Solar System that will relieve a major bottleneck in lunar and deep space communications and open the door for humanity’s expansion into the next frontier. PS- Aquarian Devices is currently looking for a CTO, and a COO! More details at the end of the show notes.     BONUS SHOW NOTES & QUOTES:  On being a female CEO: “During today’s space conference, I’ve been noticing on the panels where both male and female CEO’s are presenting, the females are asked about risk, and the males are asked about their upsides.” I feel like I’m paddling upstream sometimes. I prefer to be kind, and a relational-based person. That means that (at times) people tend to often underestimate me. I have advantages: I can relate with people really well. I have a fresh energy. What I see in my future is an adventure. To me, being a woman and being a leader is not just about breaking stereotypes, it’s also about bringing the gifts that are innate. I have different hormones in my body and I’m wired differently, so I feel delighted in trailblazing as one of many women that’s about femininity that’s really powerful in leadership.” About Being a CEO: “I’ve done start-ups before. The bootstrapping. It’s hard. I mean, it’s really hard. Raising capital is a whole other level with the team. Doing a start up with one of the more audacious technologies, and one of the most ‘out there’ industries, it was so hard. It was so challenging. I just listened to my gut and I just knew that this was going to be a long-term thing for me. I got through the first layer of fire, and now it’s really fun.”  “I never questioned that I was supposed to be doing this. When I’m committed, I’m committed. What kept me climbing mountains and walking through fires (as a CEO)? The answer today, is that it’s FUN. I’m not just getting to create a really cool company in an incredible industry, but a company that’s going to make a major impact on the space industry AND, one of the technologies our company makes possible are space weather and asteroid detection, which are two of the biggest threats to human kind. I get to literally and very functionally contribute to the preservation of our species!” “I get to speak about space, and get people re-connected to space and the beauty & magnificence of it. It feels like a privilege and an honor. It is so hard and it’s great.”  About Solving the Problems of Space Threats: “NeoCam Near-Earth Object Camera is coming, and it will help, but it doesn’t help cover all of the problems. So what we can do at Aquarian Devices is the first high-data rate deep space communication, to help with space weather and asteroid detection. Through 360 degree cameras and AI, we are able to get the data so that the brilliant scientists on Earth can predict and track the threats.” On the Space Exploration Industry from Kelly’s Unique Perspective: “Space right now is in this profound moment of growth and change. It is THE time that start-ups are starting to thrive and take off. Everything is changing right now.”     Aquarian Devices: Chief Technology Officer (CTO)  Salary Upon Funding • Co-Founder equity position to vest with milestones  Aquarian Space is an interplanetary communications start-up company offering 24/7 high data rate, high speed delivery relay satellites between the Moon, Mars and Earth.

Women who experience abuse are five times more likely to be killed if their partner has access to a gun. However, a gun never needs to be fired to entrap and terrorize a victim of intimate partner violence. On this episode we look at the relationship between firearms, domestic violence, and coercive control—a form of relationship abuse in which a woman is threatened, surveilled, and degraded by her male intimate partner. We speak to Dr. Susan B. Sorenson about her research on non-fatal gun use, coercive control, and how policy change can help keep guns out of the hands of abusers.

Carl Jung said, ‘It’s a privilege in life to find out who you really are.’ Tapping into your inner wisdom has gotten short shrift in the hectic rush of our lives today. Yet there’s so much more to discover by tuning in, according to today’s guest Laura Coe. Our bodies have wisdom. Yet we drift away from our natural passion and purpose simply because we forget to listen. ‘What do YOU want right now?’ Laura asks – and it’s a wonderful question. For some of us, it can even be a little hard to answer. In my own experience, I have often been unable to tell the difference between my own thoughts and the opinions of others In fact, in the first part of this podcast, I share a relevant essay I wrote last year, called “Why It’s So Difficult to Know What You Want?”  You can begin by talking about micro truths, Laura advises. And try -- even just for today -- to be honest, real and authentic in your small decisions. Ask yourself, ‘What do I want?” and then start to notice the floodgate of sentences that follow. For most of us there will be a pattern of denial or acceptance, and from this we can discover more pathways back to happiness. Here’s more that I learned as I talked to Laura: How her own mid-life mega-shift came about, and told her what to do next What to do about ‘life inertia’ when life is ‘fine’ … but, actually, it’s not How an inauthentic life takes root, and where it comes from How to tune into our bodies instead of our brains to find our own personal truth Where anxiety, depression and disease originate in our bodies and minds Simple easy solutions for getting back in your body and healing your own ‘emotional obesity’ How to create new healthy mindsets for ourselves – and a simple test to see what your own are How to use yoga to get back to the authentic self Where ever you are at with your own authentic self, may I encourage you to let the sun shine in! And may our thoughts steer you well, today. Thanks for listening!   RESOURCES Emotional Obesity; A Philosophical Guide to Lighten Your Life By Laura Coe   The Art of Authenticity Podcast    BIO Laura Coe co-founded Litholink Corporation, a healthcare company serving over 350,000 patients per month nationally. When Litholink sold to a Fortune 500 company, she left corporate America to pursue lifelong passions. Even while working in corporate healthcare, Laura always specialized in breaking down complex concepts for to make them easy to digest, understand, and apply. Now she channels that unique skill into “translating” philosophy and ancient wisdom – breaking down monumental, life-changing wisdom in a way that everyone can apply to their own lives. Laura currently devotes her energy toward writing, coaching, helping others implement spiritual teachings in their everyday lives. Her first book, Emotional Obesity, is available for purchase.

Why do we learn so slowly? Is it because we’re not good learners? Is it age? Or is it something quite different? The problem of learning (and teaching) is dependent on the concept of Teacher vs Preacher. When you’re a preacher, you give the feeling of a ton of information, but there’s no true learning, no true application. A teacher, gets the student to apply the skills. When you’re creating info-products, writing books or articles, this is what needs to be kept in mind.
