This week on Comes A Time, Dr. Anna Lembke talks with Mike and Oteil about “digital drugs” and how they exploit our motivational neural pathways, the balance between pain and pleasure from a psychological standpoint, and why Dr. Lembke prefers natural, behavior-focused solutions over prescribed medication. The three also discuss physical manifestation of spiritual growth, and why it's helpful to treat our relationship with “digital drugs” the same way we treat our relationship with food. Dr. Lembke provides easily-applicable insights on the functionality of the brain that can transform negative habits into positive superpowers- you've gotta hear what she has to say!Dr. Anna Lembke is a Professor and the Medical Director of Addiction Medicine at Stanford University. She was one of the first in the medical community to sound the alarm regarding opioid overprescribing, and she's been a featured guest on Fresh Air with Terry Gross, MSNBC with Chris Hayes, and numerous other media broadcasts discussing her work in researching addiction. In 2016 she published her best-selling book on the prescription drug epidemic, Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It's So Hard to Stop, which was highlighted in the New York Times. Using her public platform and her faculty position at Stanford, Dr. Lembke continues to educate policymakers and the public about causes of and solutions for the problem of addiction.-----------*DISCLAIMER: This podcast does NOT provide medical advice.

Being An Anxious Pursuer In Relationships (REBROADCAST)

Tracy Crossley's Podcast

“I attract avoidants” has almost become a mantra for anxious pursuers who are convinced they are only attracted to people who shun them. They believe relationships require a lot of effort, thus feeling a deeper connection to partners who reject them. If it comes easy, something must be wrong. This anxious pursuer is always focused on their partner, pushing, pulling and waiting for that “wake-up” moment that never comes. Let's say you start dating someone who checks a lot of your boxes, but they rarely contact you so you do all the work. You create excuses to contact them, enticing them with sex or whatever carrot you think will prove irresistible. You live in the fantasy of feeling close to them, making the reality of rejection both painful and comfortable. The irony is that if they DO get close to you, you'll distance yourself. This push/pull dance is a pattern, with fear of abandonment at its core. To break it you need to connect where it hurts, accessing those deep feelings you avoid like the plague. Instead of running from pain and anxiety when they strike, sit with it. Be with it. Do not react or discharge your pain on someone else. It is SO HARD to do and feels like walking through fire, but it will set you free.

Anna Lembke is a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. She sits on the board of several state and national addiction-focused organizations. She is the author of Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It's So Hard to Stop, and most recently she released her second book, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence, which became an instant New York Times Bestseller! Addiction is a serious problem in the US. From the obvious - like drugs & alcohol - to the less obvious, collective addiction we have to technology in the form of video games, social media, screen time, etc. We are on the fast track to total dependence. Anna and I discussed: What a dopamine deficit state is What is the clinical criteria or definition for addiction? How kids will be impacted by screens in 10-20 years from now Her part on the Netflix documentary 'The Social Dilemma' Why porn addiction is less talked about than other addictions Can addiction be used in a positive way? Why does pleasure diminish over time? Social media addiction The social impact of being online too much And much, much more... Anna Lembke My Take: We are all addicted to something, constantly looking for our next dopamine fix. We can't escape technology but we can control what we use, how we use it, and how often we use it. Everything in moderation - easy to say, hard to implement - I know. This is an important topic to discuss, as addictions are currently ravaging the nation and the world on multiple fronts.

It's February…The shortest month of all… and the coldest depending on where you are… For us Nerdcasters it's also one of the busiest! We have an amazing lineup for the month of February (and March too). Check it out!Call for Papers is Open!We are passionate about distributing knowledge, and we feel strongly that knowledge does not have to come from researchers. Working clinicians have so much to share with our community. With that in mind, just a reminder that our call for papers is still open! We've heard from several of you, and we are so thrilled to welcome you onto our show for Season 4. If you have something to teach your community, we encourage you to submit a topic and come onto the show and discuss it with us. The call for papers is analogue to a traditional conference. You will need a title, learning objectives, description, and a few references. Check out this link to learn more and submit!February 10th, 2022FREE Webinar: Goal Writing and Progress Monitoring in Complex Communicators: A Brief Intro We remember times early in our career when it felt just impossible to take data on our clients. In particular I remember one day I was scheduled to take some data on a student for an upcoming meeting and I saw them in a group setting. That day in group I had one student playing with the blinds in the office I was in, one student trying to rip up my therapy materials, and two students who were legit hitting each other. There was zero way I was going to take data that day. Monitoring the progress of our students and clients can be SO HARD, especially in our more complex communicators. And how can we even talk about progress monitoring without goal writing? These two concepts go hand in hand and influence each other so much. It wasn't until we took multiple graduate level courses after our masters degrees in data collection and measurement that we finally felt that we cracked the nut on how to take good data efficiently without compromising the connection with our students.We have an SLP Masterclass coming up on progress monitoring and goal writing, but we wanted to help as many people as possible and if you've been around the Nerdcast table a while you know we hate it when knowledge lives behind paywalls. So, we are hosting a FREE webinar on February 10th, 2022 to discuss progress monitoring and goal writing for your students. It's from 7:00 to 7:30 PM EST and free to attend. The recording will be available on our YouTube channel forever, so if you can't make it you can catch the information there.

We started SLP Nerdcast because we were so tired of the status quo of continuing ed - high pricing, traveling to conferences, and let's face it - huge companies profiting off of keeping knowledge behind a paywall. It shouldn't be so difficult - or expensive - to get knowledge that helps us be the best clinicians possible. Our mission is to change the field of continuing education and create PD that is convenient, helpful, and affordable. As SLPs our jobs are stressful. It should be easy for us to gain the knowledge we need to be the best clinicians we can be. We don't need the added stress of expensive conference pricing, traveling, and crowding into tiny conference rooms hoping for a chance to hear our favorite speakers.We teamed up with Speechie Side Up to co-host the third annual SLP Live Podconference, a podcast based conference that is affordable and convenient. .

Our world is increasingly designed to addict us. What is happening in our brains when we are hooked and what can we do about it? In this episode, Dr. Anna Lembke and Dr. Diana Hill explore the neuroscience of addiction, and how we've become addicted to everything from sex, to food, to our smartphones. Anna and Diana also share their personal experiences with addiction and effective strategies to help you get your life and your brain back into balance.  About Dr. Anna LembkeAnna Lembke, MD is a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. A clinician scholar, she has published more than a hundred peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and commentaries. She sits on the board of several state and national addiction-focused organizations, has testified before various committees in the United States House of Representatives and Senate, keeps an active speaking calendar, and maintains a thriving clinical practice. She is the author of Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It's So Hard to Stop, recently appeared on the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma, is her new book, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence was an instant New York Times bestseller.

[45:46] - Dr. Lembke's Personal Recovery [49:01] - Pressing On the Pain Side with Hormesis [54:41] - Your Daily Practice [56:42] - Connect With The Podcast Key TakeawaysThere are common biological and psychosocial processes that underlie addictions Pain and pleasure are co-located in the brain. Pain and pleasure work on opposite sides of a balance. When we press on the pleasure side of the balance, our brain adapts by increasing the pain side of the equation. We feel awful, which then triggers us to seek out more pleasure. You can become addicted to any substance or behavior that releases dopamine. Most things in our modern world have been “drugified” to increase dopamine release. Two strategies to reset your dopamine brain balance are a 30-day detox and self-binding. Technology overuse at a young age can lead to kids missing out on important developmental tasks like moving their bodies, social skills, enjoying time in nature, and distress tolerance.

Asking for help is one of the hardest things you can do. But it can also be one of the best - how good does it feel when YOU get asked for help by someone else? Let's talk about breaking through the limiting beliefs that hold us back so we can start delegating tasks and become a better version of ourselves.   How to Start Asking for Help Investigate your limiting belief that you shouldn't ask  Be vulnerable enough to ask for help Know exactly what you want so you can ask for the appropriate help Trust yourself that you need this help   Why It's So Hard to Ask for Help If the thought of asking for help makes you cringe, you're not alone. So many of us struggle with asking for the help we know will make our lives easier. I want you to know that there is no weakness in asking for help. We're surrounded by these limiting beliefs that asking for help makes us less. That we're superhuman and are perfectly capable of handling everything on our own, thank you very much. But where did these beliefs come from? There's fear in being vulnerable. But I believe that vulnerability is actually powerful. When you know that you need help and then ask for it, you regain control over a situation that probably felt extremely out of your control.   The Power in Knowing What You Want The whole exercise in asking for help is going to help you understand yourself better. By bringing awareness to yourself and what you want, you'll develop an understanding of how you can be a better version of yourself.  I find it helps immensely to know exactly what it is you want help with. If you have no idea, I like to start by writing out my entire week's to-do list. Then I go through with the “trash, delegate, and to-do” mindset and see what I actually need to do and what I can ask for help with. It's probably going to feel uncomfortable when you first start asking for help, even on the things you know you want help with. That's those limiting beliefs trying to shoulder their way back in. It's okay to feel uncomfortable, it's the first step to getting out of that comfort zone. Find your person. Find the person that you can go to. Maybe all you tell them is that you know you need help, you just don't know how to ask for it. Tell them what's going on. Having a safe space to open up is so important. Find your person. If you can actually visualize who that person is for you, that's a pretty big deal. I want to encourage you to be vulnerable. Be vulnerable in that space you deem safe. Practice asking for help.   In This Episode  Where we develop the belief that we shouldn't need help [10:00] How vulnerability can be powerful [12:45] Why this whole process is about bringing awareness to you [17:00] Why it helps to know specifically what you want help with [19:45] The power of “Trash, Delegate, To-Do” lists [20:30] Why it might feel uncomfortable to ask for help, even when you want it [26:45]   Quotes “We tell ourselves that we should not need help for basically everything. What that does is basically speaks to the idea that we're setting this expectation that doesn't meet human criteria. We somehow believe we have this extra, superhuman gene that we don't need help.” [5:23] “If you are sensing that you need help in some area of your life, what I want you to think about is that if you are able to define what kind of help, specifically, you need, just notice if that feels a little bit lighter to you.” [19:05] “I think that what we all can do is start to decide what we need help with, how we feel about asking for it, and who do we feel comfortable asking for the help from. Ultimately, we sometimes think that asking for help is a sign of weakness.” [25:43]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 81: Say "Yes" to Yourself Episode 87: When Old Thoughts Resurface Episode 79: Do More of What Works

An expert in all things addiction, Dr. Lembke has published more than a hundred peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and commentaries; she sits on the board of several state and national addiction-focused organizations, has testified before various Congressional Committees, and does so all while maintaining a thriving clinical practice.  On today's episode, we discuss her instant New York Times Bestseller, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence, which explores the many faces of addiction. Dr. Lembke notes that addiction is a spectrum disorder, and though we often attempt to otherize “addicts”, the exact same mental machinery engaged in so-called severe addiction is engaged in the compulsive over-consumption that afflicts many of us. We discuss the way in which our brain is wired to balance pleasure and pain and how to know when our consumption has crossed from healthy, recreational use to addictive, maladaptive use. Finally, Dr. Lembke leaves us with some strategies for recalibrating our neural-balance, including the perhaps counterintuitive remedy of exposing ourselves to pain in order to treat our pain.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Identifying the risk factors for addiction…(5:53) The balance between pleasure and pain…(11:45) The Dopamine Guideposts…(18:49)  Finding healing stories and re-calibrating the neuro-plasticity of the brain…(28:21) MORE FROM ANNA LEMBKE: Anna Lembke's Website Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It's So Hard to Stop Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the #SPAITGIRL Talk Show with Yvette Le Blowitz EP.150 - Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence w/Dr Anna Lembke, MD, Psychiatrist, New York Times Bestselling Author Anna Lembke is professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic.   A clinician scholar, she has published more than a hundred peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and commentaries. She sits on the board of several state and national addiction-focused organizations, has testified before various committees in the United States House of Representatives and Senate, keeps and active speaking calender, and maintains a thriving clinical practice. In 2016, she published Drug Dealer, MD - How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It's So Hard to Stop(John Hopkins University Press, 2016), which was highlighted in the New York Times as one of the top five books to read to understand the opioid epidemic (Zuger, 2018). Dr. Lembke recently appeared on the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma, an unvarnished look at the impact of social media on our lives. Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence (Dutton/Penguin Random House, August 2021), an instant New York Times Bestseller, explores how to moderate compulsive overconsumption in a dopamine-overload world. We're living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting - the increased numbers, variety and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation.  As such we've all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption. In Dopmaine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative.  Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In this podcast episode 150  Yvette Le Blowitz Podcast Host sits down with Dr Anna Lembke, MD  who shares more about Dopamine Nation and the secret to finding balance in the Age of Indulgence.

THADDEUS    [chuckles] MADAME   Can you remember how far you got?  Did you reach the second floor landing?

MADAME   Goodbye.  [NO footsteps or door] SOUND   brief, vague rumble of voices, nothing clear.   SCENE 5.   CAROL   Are they having a party? THADDEUS   Who? CAROL   Your neighbors. THADDEUS   Might could be.  You doin' all right? CAROL   Sorry to be such a baby about all this.  When it hurts - well it really hurts. THADDEUS   I know.  Get myself the same thing in my neck sometimes. CAROL   Oh?  [beat, changing subject]  So, do you know her?  The woman asking the questions? THADDEUS    A bit.  She Madame Foulet and work for police, I do know that.  Some years back, she asked me a coupla questions.  CAROL   About what? THADDEUS    Somethin I seen ... way back when.  CAROL   She seems kind of old to be a police matron or whatever she is.  THADDEUS   She one of a kind, I guess.  they cain't afford to retire her. CAROL   Is she a hypnotist?  Was I right? THADDEUS   I don' know nothin about that, miss.  I spect you probly mostly right. CAROL   [decisive]  Well.  If I want this guy caught - and boy do I want him caught, especially if he's the one who killed all those girls - I better get cracking and remember something. SOUND   pacing footsteps CAROL   In the movies, if you hit your head and get amnesia, you can hit your head again to get your memory back.  THADDEUS   I don' guess it work that way in real life, miss.

CAROL   No, no.  You said you never even-- THADDEUS   [amused]  You thinkin I mighta kilt him?  I know I'm a big fella, but I cain't-- CAROL   I meant it as a compliment. THADDEUS   I guess so.  CAROL   Did you have to ... fight him off?  I mean, to save me? THADDEUS    [distinctly uncomfortable]  Nah.  When he caught sight a me, he jest run.  CAROL   [smiling]  You do look pretty intimidating. THADDEUS   Nah.  Look, you should be tryin' t'member-- CAROL   [sigh]  I know, but this takes my mind off it.  I figure, it's like a word at the tip of your tongue.  When you THINK about it SO HARD that you feel like your brain may be squeezed out your ears, it never comes.  Then, the minute your mind is off it, voila!  The word tumbles right out. THADDEUS   That sounds 'bout right. CAROL   I need to get into the stairwell.  That'll really jog my memory. SOUND   Rapid footsteps.  Doorknob turns, but doesn't open. CAROL   What?  Why is the door locked?  THADDEUS   I reckon it's jest stuck, miss.  [worried] But you really don' wanna go into the stairwell.  I- I promise you that. CAROL   Open this door!  I don't like being locked in here-- THADDEUS   With me?

CAROL   What?  Where'd she...? THADDEUS   Madame said she jest needed a lil break.  She didn't say she was goin' off no place. CAROL   But she was gone. THADDEUS   It's real dark in here.  I never heared her go.  CAROL   Then she must have listened to everything we said. THADDEUS   I spect she jest shut up her eyes and her ears and took a lil nap, miss.  MADAME   May we proceed? CAROL   [sigh] Yes.  [fierce] Yeah, I want this fiend drawn and quartered! SOUND   distant brief chuckle, like several people in another room. MADAME   Now, Carol.  We'll start with something easy.  I want you to be comfortable.  I want you to remember something very pleasant.  CAROL   Pleasant? MADAME   Think back to a time when you were happy. CAROL   [thinking]  Oh! No, no - that's too silly.  MADAME   The first thing that comes to mind, Carol. CAROL   Well, I was very sick once, when I was little - measles, I think, but I don't remember too well - Just the itching.  Oh, how it itched!  Mama gave me sweet tea each night she came home and didn't see any scratches on me.  If I could just control myself, I could have sweet tea.  [pause] Of course, I fooled her - I learned to scratch around. THADDEUS   Scratch around? CAROL   Yes.  Maybe it was chicken pox.  But anyway, if you scratch around the spots, it stops some of the itch, but doesn't look like you've been scratching.  THADDEUS   Your best memory is of feelin poorly? CAROL   No, don't be silly.  She just asked me for a memory of a happy time, and it was... oddly enough.  I got sweet tea, AND I fooled my mother.  [giggle] SOUND   distant chuckles CAROL   Sounds like they're having a whale of a time over there. MADAME   Very good Carol.  You sound like you feel better now.  I need you to keep this feeling of well-being with you while we try again. CAROL   I still don't think it will work. THADDEUS   Try. CAROL   All right. MADAME   Ignore any pain.  Ignore any fear.  Ignore any interruptions.  Ignore any distractions.  We must find this man.  We must find him and stop him.  [beat]  You have just reached the second floor landing.  What do you see, Carol? CAROL   [breathing rapidly]  I see the gum wrappers.  Little brat.  Then a shadow.  I hardly ever see people - oh! - on the stairs.  [groans]  MADAME   Continue, please. THADDEUS   Take my hand, Carol, jest like before.  Thass a girl. SOUND   very distant knocking and shuffling noises. CAROL   [whining gasp, obviously in pain]  I turn around, and there's a flash - like sunlight on water.  MADAME   Ignore the flash.  Look only at the face.  SOUND   knocking and shuffling noises get louder, nearer. CAROL   No!  No I can't  - it hurts too much! THADDEUS   Yes you can.  You gots to.  You the only one left behind - none of them other girls can say nothin, but you - you got yourself a chance to be a hero, now.  CAROL   Are you sure he can't come back and get me? SOUND   glass breaks THADDEUS   Sure as I'm sittin here wit you, miss.  He cain't never even touch you - no way, no how. MADAME   Carol!  Stop the movie!  You need to stop it and look!  Break the film in your mind, so there IS NO END.  Nothing but the face. CAROL   No, I can't! SOUND   heavy pounding, neighbors getting upset. THADDEUS   Shh.  Shh.  You takin my hand right off, miss Carol. SOUND   ALL sounds stop abruptly. CAROL   It's a knife, isn't it? THADDEUS   Yes. CAROL    He's holding a knife, but it's on my right - my right...  Oh No!  Oh, Thaddeus, I'm-- SOUND   distant knocking begins again. THADDEUS   That ain't nothing, miss Carol.  You gots to see it's just hysteria. SOUND   Knocking gets louder CAROL   [in tears]  But I'm bleeding!  I have to get to a doctor! THADDEUS   They ain't no blood, miss.  Not a chance of it.  It's all in ya' head, see? CAROL   No, look, my side, it hurts-- THADDEUS   Shh.  I don' see no blood. SOUND   knocking begins to recede CAROL    No blood? THADDEUS   Not a bit of it.  CAROL   [deep breath]  All right.  [realization]  Oh!  But if I saw a knife in his hand, on my right, then he must be left-handed!  That's important, isn't it? MADAME   [very tired]  Very ...good.  I must have another rest.  We shall speak again.  Goodbye.   SCENE 7.    CAROL   How does she do that? THADDEUS   What? CAROL   She just -- it was like she just wrapped some of the darkness around her and vanished. THADDEUS   She probly jest turned off a light.  You doin all right? CAROL   No.  My side hurts.  I want to go home. THADDEUS   Got to finish first.  This GOT to be done. CAROL   I know, but-- [begins to weep] THADDEUS   I shore do like that song Poor Papa you sing sometimes. CAROL   [surprised]  What?  THADDEUS   I heared you sing it over and over one day, so I got it near enough memorized myself. CAROL   [sniffs, but no longer crying]  I was getting ready for an audition.  No one can hear me in the stairwell, so it doesn't bother anyone if I practice there.  THADDEUS   And that song -- that song is jest plain funny.  When mama gets to ride in the car-- CAROL   [cheering up] Oh, yes, when "papa bought a limousine, the most expensive kind, now he wears a chauffeur's suit, and mama rides behind!" THADDEUS   [laughing]  Thassa one, thassa one gets me every time.  One tough female, mama is. CAROL   You really listen to me? THADDEUS   Whenever I hears you in the stair, I'm there quick as all get out, tucked up high so's not to bother you or, well, make you afeared. CAROL   Oh, I'm not afraid of you. THADDEUS    You probly would be if'n we hadn't talked first.  CAROL   [beat] I wish I could say you were wrong.  [deep breath]  Thank you. THADDEUS   Fer what? CAROL   For the distraction. THADDEUS   [teasing]  Is that what I's doin?  I thought I was complimentin you on your singin, thass all. CAROL   Don't act dopey.  THADDEUS   You up to tryin again?  CAROL   Maybe...  Should we see if she'll come back?

SOUND   PACING CAROL   [beat]  This is futile. THADDEUS   Nah-- CAROL   [revving up]  Futile.  Pointless!  Hopeless!  THADDEUS   You know what you needs?  You needs to scratch around. CAROL   What? THADDEUS   You cain't scratch the spot what itches, cause that jest get you into trouble.  Scratch around.  CAROL   [realizing]  Thaddeus, you're brilliant!  [beat]  But, how CAN I think around--?  THADDEUS   Mebbe... you ever see them funny pictures with an artist, and he holdin up his thumb?  How bout if you hold up ya' thumb - block out the part you gots to scratch around. CAROL   I think I see -- Just look at the edges, because the middle is too scary. THADDEUS   Yes'm.

CAROL   Right.  I see a [deep breath] a hat - no a cap, like a deliveryman would wear.  It's [breathes quickly for a moment]  blue- I think it's blue-- SOUND   Thud, like a body drop. THADDEUS   Calm now, Miss Carol. CAROL   --and hair, blonde?  Or maybe light brown.    SCENE 8.   MADAME   Be calm, Carol. CAROL   Yes, a deliveryman.  I remember!  I was thinking it must have been a small package, since he was coming up the stairs instead of the elevator, when-- [hollow, pained] oh! SOUND   LOUDEST thumpings and rattlings yet.  they CONTINUE until noted. CAROL   Oh! THADDEUS   S'all right. CAROL   Oh!  No, but Thaddeus-- THADDEUS   I understand.  I promise you, I do. CAROL   But-- SOUND   CRASH OF GLASS. CROWD   [reactions - gasps, a scream.] CAROL   But, he ... he killed me, didn't he?  [beat] Didn't he Thaddeus? SOUND   Deep creaking & cracking noises. CROWD   [reacts again] MADAME   Carol.  I need to end this now.  Goodbye. SOUND   Sudden silence.   SCENE 9.   CAROL   Thaddeus? THADDEUS   Yes, miss Carol? CAROL   [calm] I'm right, aren't I? THADDEUS   I spect you'd rather not be, but -- yes.  You dead, too. CAROL   Too? THADDEUS   I wished I coulda stopped him, I truly do - but they ain't nothin much a ghost can do!  Jest makin him see me was hard enough, and I was ... too late... CAROL   But, what do I do now?  Do I go somewhere? THADDEUS   [rueful laugh] If'n I had an answer fer that, miss Carol, I spect I wouldn't be here talkin wit' you. MUSIC   SCENE 10.   TOUR GUIDE   [clearly reading]  And here we are at stop number 12 on the haunted hotel tour, the Garibaldi Residential Suites -- rumored to be home to a plethora of ghosts, including a baby in the basement, a chain rattling spook in suite 405, a runaway slave, and the poor girl who was the final victim of the stairway stabber - and can sometimes be heard singing in the stairwells.

Anna helps explain how Dopamine works and the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain. Most important, Anna helps us understand how we can find the delicate balance between the two.

Have you ever felt like you are competing in an oversaturated market? The problem isn't that the market is oversaturated, it's just that you're still trying to fit in with everyone else doing the same thing as each other. You haven't done anything different to make people start to notice you. So what can you do to stand out?Focus on what makes you uniqueIt may be hard to figure out what makes you unique when you don't think you're unique. But how much harder is it for your potential client to think you are unique when you're doing everything the same as everyone else? SO HARD. I promise, you don't want to make it hard for your clients to figure out what sets you apart.If you're struggling with this, ask your close family and friends. A little distance allows them a different perspective. Sometimes we don't know what is unique about us because it comes so naturally to us. Think of things that come easily to you, because I guarantee that it doesn't come that easily for everyone else.No one can do what you do exactly like you do it. So let people know that you do things differently or that you have a strength that is well suited for what you do. Infuse your personality into everythingYou need to put the YOU into your brand.Maybe you think that if you are a certain way that you'll get more clients or people will like you better. All that does is keep your potential clients on the fence. They don't like you enough to be dying to work with you and they don't dislike you enough to move on. The goal is to get them off of the fence. It doesn't matter which way they go. Some will go one way and others will go the other way. But if everyone says on the fence, your business won't go anywhere. That's where you end up being stuck in the oversaturated market. That's when people start competing with you over price. And you really don't want that to happen.So infuse your personality into everything. Some people will love you and some people will not. And that's okay. I know plenty of people who can't stand Beyonce, but you'd better believe that she couldn't care less about them because there are so many people who know she is Queen B. And when people are off the fence you can really start to focus on serving the ones that are on your side of the fence. The biggest reason you want to infuse your personality is that you can just be yourself. And that's significantly less exhausting than trying to be someone else or suppressing who it is that you really are.  Just show up as you!Find out the rest by clicking here.Links MentionedPierced By MacBrand Builder's BootcampPodcaster's KitJoin the Branded Business Collective.

Today, I go "Down the Rabbit Hole" to talk about a topic that is NOT new to me -- in some form I have been living with this since losing Alex nearly 5 years ago.  Unless you have not left your house yet, I am certain that you too have experienced some form of this isolating feeling that comes when you start to interact with people and they bring up children … or mental health … or look at you with that look and say "how ARE you?"  Or "I just don't think I could do this, you are so strong".... OR (Fill in the blank)  … you  even start to anticipate it before it happens. You feel like you are the one to avoid in the room ... ETC!!! Right??? How to cope!!?? As child (suicide) loss survivors we find that going out into public, or social circles, now creates more stress, where it once relieved stress to go out, see friends, be social. Not now, right?  Even in leaving said event - we now carry the fact that once we have exited the space, the people left undoubtedly often talk about us in hushed tones -- "she's the one who lost her son to suicide"  or "do you think she's 'coping' or ' doing ok' or … ??? We TRY to not let it bother us, but it DOES,  It is emotionally exhausting, and very isolating. So, how do we not let it hurt our healing or set us backward. How do we cope IN THE MOMENT?I discuss this and also offer a tool (or two) that you may want to try that I believe will help. It can (& does) get better with time, but it takes work. AND somethings will just never be the same - and accepting that is just part of it too.   THANK YOU for listening, it means more than I can say.  Sending so much love & peace to you all!HERE is a good article from a website called Complex Trauma Resources that explains top-down,  bottom-up & even side-door approaches to trauma healing. I think you will see why I gravitate toward the latter two. This journey is SO HARD my friends, but you can do it, we can do it- together!As with everything you hear on my podcasts, please take that which serves you & leave the rest.
