“There’s some distance between the spark and the flame, and in that distance, it gives you the freedom to respond more skillfully to the situation.”  Depression is part of a common human experience but finding relief from it is incredibly complicated.   Depression is a relapsing illness, and taking an antidepressant is not always a viable or effective solution for those suffering.   In this episode, I talk with Dr. Stuart Eisendrath about how to treat depression when the antidepressants just aren’t enough. He walks through the definition of depression and anxiety, how they distort time and how we experience the present moment, and then finally how to align ourselves back to the present moment. Specifically, Dr. Stuart Eisendrath talks about mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, which teaches people a different way to respond to their depressive state, and how to take action in the moment.   Take a listen to learn more about mindfulness practices and cognitive therapy, and how these techniques can shift one’s relationship with depression to finally experience healing.    About Stuart Eisendrath:   Dr. Stuart Eisendrath is the founding Director of the University of California San Francisco Depression Center. He has treated a full range of depressive disorders, from mild to the most severe over the last 40 years using multiple modalities. His lectures on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for the University of California TV has been viewed over 1.5 million times, and he’s rapidly developing MBCT as a modality for individuals currently in episodes of depression.    Some Questions I Ask:   What drew you to writing this book? (2:14)  What is mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy? (5:57)  How does anger play into depression? (19:52)  How can someone stop the process of rumination?

“Safety primes neuroplasticity: a sense that as you move through this, you’re okay and you’re safe.”  Introduction:   When was the last time that you experienced letdown, hurt, or even a traumatic event?   How did you rebuild yourself and your life after the event?   A significant part of the human condition is experiencing negativity in our environment, then that energy infiltrates itself into the brain. Brains tend to have a negativity bias. This means that one negative response from another person has more power over our minds than all the positive interactions within that same relationship. Whenever this happens, life and relationships must be rebuilt, no matter how small or large the damage was.   This is resilience. While resilience is largely an innate skill, it’s still possible to build it and strengthen it through various exercises and strategies.   In this episode, Linda Graham talks about how to build and strengthen resilience. She shares some deep insight into the wiring and functioning of the brain when stimulated with negativity, and how to learn to bounce back. Linda also shares how therapists and non-therapists alike can implement various strategies, mindsets, and somatic tools to refine the skill of resilience as well.   Take a listen to Linda’s thoughtful and practical strategies, tips, and tools to bouncing back into life.   About Linda Graham:  Linda Graham is a psychotherapist and award-winning author. She is passionate about guiding people on reliable paths of personal growth, self-transformation, and building relationships. Her professional specialty areas include helping reverse the impact of stress and trauma, cultivate mindful awareness, and ultimately recover a sense of resilience. Within her private practice, she integrates modern neuroscience, mindfulness practices, and relational psychology into her international trainings on resilience and wellbeing.   Some Questions I Ask:   How would you define resilience? (4:59)  How does our brain’s capacity to respond to stressors become derailed? (6:53)  Why is it difficult to develop resilience? (12:00)  How can we address the brain’s negativity bias? (19:05)  What are the 3 Levels of Disruption, and 5 Intelligences? (21:20)  Where should someone start with finding relief and building resilience? (27:10)    In This Episode, You Will Learn:   Why individuals respond differently to the same stressors. (4:23)  Where an individual’s resilience originates and how to install new circuitry that increases the capacity for resilience. (7:22)  How resilience is strengthened through post-traumatic growth. (15:41)  How somatic tools help calm the mind and enter back into a space of resilience. (17:10)  How practicing positivity shifts the functioning of the brain into more receptivity and resilience. (19:14)  What therapists can integrate into their practices from Linda’s book. (29:13)    Resources:   Resilience: Powerful Practices for Bouncing Back from Disappointment, Difficulty, and Even Disaster by Linda Graham  Bouncing Back by Linda Graham  Linda’s Website

In 2008, she co-authored a how-to book, “Sixteen Weeks to Your Dream Business: A Weekly Planner for Entrepreneurial Women” which spent time on Amazon’s best-selling business book list.   Speaking and seminar opportunities accompanied a book tour and Nada realized that there was much to be done to support women in this space.

“At the end of life, the person who wins is the one with the most stories.”    This one sentence perfectly encapsulates Sean Ogle's attitude to life and business.  He's an adventurous and  relatable entrepreneur, who has  created a strong community and a portfolio full of travel and epic narratives.   Sean started his entrepreneurial journey after an eye-opening trip to Carnival in Rio de Janero.  Upon his return to the States he decided to leave his 9-5 job as an analyst and hasn't looked back.    His genuinity and curiosity led him to befriend Chris Guillebeau of the Art of Non-Conformity Blog, early on.  Chris recommended that Sean start his own blog, not for the writing necessarily, but as a means to make his goals public and to add some accountability, kicking him into action.   Sean credits his willingness to connect with those he respects as a great precursor to his success.  He gives lots of great advice on how to do this:  Be genuine in your communications.  Follow their advice then tell them about the success you had by doing so.  Get in touch and go one step further than others would by sending them a personal physical hand-written letter.  Find their address by getting on their email list and sending it to the address at the bottom.  Genius!  Sean developed a three-step process for creating a location independent life after unintentionally going through it himself in the first two years of building his successful blog, Location Rebel.  He credits this process as the key to his success:  Learn relevant skills – SEO, copywriting, social media for business, WordPress and design fundamentals.  Practice these skills as much as possible.  Freelance work – Put your newly found skills to work helping somebody else.  Apply the skills in your own biz– Create your own projects that utilize the skills you've learned.    He decided to put this strategy to use by creating Location Rebel, a course and community for growing a location independent business. His goal is to get all of his members making $100/day.  When you're making this much you have something to work with and build upon.    One of the funnest things about Sean is his ability to accomplish so much and still find time to do many of his favorite hobbies and activities.  He would say that in actuality, he doesn't find the time--he makes the time--as this is what energizes him.  He credits doing fun things on a regular basis as helping him overcome resistance to doing work.  He's also consistently putting in at least two hours a day of solid work.  It might not sound like much, but when you're consistent about it, you can accomplish a heck of a lot.    Putting in consistent work like this is a big part of his success, but Sean also credits his relationship to uncertainty and how he's learned to overcome it.  According to Sean, there are three phases of uncertainty:  Fearing Uncertainty – fearing uncertainty causes people to not do the things they really want to in life and avoid risking their “comfortable life”  Overcome the Uncertainty – when people are scared but doing it anyway because they trust that the outcome will be positive.  Embrace the Uncertainty – this is where most successful entrepreneurs lie.   “Because I have no idea what's going to happen in the future, I can create any future that I want.”  To Sean, being bold means embracing uncertainty.  “If you can embrace the challenge and embrace the unknown then that's about as bold as you can be.”       SOME QUESTIONS I ASK:  Who inspired Sean to start writing?  What was the catalyst for his blog Location 180?  What new products is Sean working on?  What are some of the lucrative decisions made due to the mastermind that he's involved in?  How does Sean get work done and consistently overcome resistance?    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:  Which influencers and thought leaders has Sean connected with and how he does it.  How Sean is putting ‘The ONE Thing' to use in his business  Some great tips for webinar conversions  Which areas he's undisciplined in and how he gets around this  The habits and beliefs that Sean credits for much of his success  Plus much more…    DON'T STOP HERE…  Learn more about Sean: Website | Instagram | Twitter  Location Rebel: Website  Location 180: YouTube  “A Secret to Business Success” Vlog: View  Sean's Quest to play the top 100 golf courses in the world, Breaking Eighty: Website    ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:  Chris Guillebeau and the Art of Non-Conformity: Blog  Taylor Pierson from Episode 2 of The Bold Life Movement: Listen  ‘The One Thing' by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan
