For episode 258, we bring you the first half of a two-part series on the Force of Kindness.His Holiness the Dalai Lama has stated, “My true religion is kindness.” Although frequently denigrated in our culture as simplistic and weak, the quality of kindness has an inherent power to transform our worldview from one of fear and isolation to one rooted in clarity, courage and compassion in action. Kindness is the fuel that helps us truly “walk our talk” of love. Recording in December or 2024 by the Drepung Gomang Center for Engaging Compassion.In this recording, Sharon teaches on:The conditioning we faceHow our culture defines kindnessThe compassionate witnessA ministry of presenceKindness as a motivational stateThe emergent properties of how we pay attentionWho do we pay attention to?Practicing kindness for ourselvesGuided meditation on how we speak to ourselvesPunitive environments cannot sustain growthHow resilience is developed Sayadaw U Pandita's trick questionStay tuned for the second part of this series coming in February of 2025.

Did you know your brain changes when you bleed—opening a doorway to deeper intuition, clarity, and instinctual wisdom?Our ancestors knew this, honouring the altered state of menstruation as sacred. Now, science is finally catching up, revealing how the menstrual phase transforms brain function and heightens our connection to unseen realms.Yet, in a world that dismisses the intelligence of the feminine body, this ancient knowing has been forgotten. In this episode, we explore the fascinating interplay between your cycle and your mind, and how to reclaim the power of your bleeding time.✨In this episode, we explore:How your brain shifts throughout the menstrual cycleWhy menstruation is a time of heightened intuition, insight, and clarityHow science is proving what our ancestors knew—that menstruating women enter an altered, more receptive stateThe ways patriarchal conditioning has severed women from their cyclical intelligencePractices to harness the wisdom of your bleeding time

At the time this episode airs, there are devastating wildfires in Los Angeles – and yet, I've seen some beautiful levels of response. When something bad happens, whether to one person or an entire community, people want to help. Consequently, I've been thinking a lot about how people show up for one another. In a world where so many feel disconnected, helping someone else is a way to feel less alone. Today's episode is about how to be there for people during a loss. These ideas are applicable to anybody experiencing a tragedy, from losing their home to losing a loved one.There is no perfect way to show up. Stop putting that pressure on yourself and be okay with the fact you're probably going to make mistakes. If you're in the middle of supporting someone now, know that you're doing matters. Keep being brave enough to show up.In this episode you'll hear about:Being okay with discomfort and the fact that you can't fix what's happening to somebody – but you can provide support for themLooking at immediate needs first: do they have physical shelter, food, water, or clothing? Do they need a place to sleep for the night?My own personal experience receiving help after losing my mom at age 13 – plus, the realities of freeze stateThe value of specific offers, doing what you're naturally good at, and coordinating with others via existing networksDos and don'ts when it comes to supporting people going through hard times (for example, DON'T try to force silver linings; DO validate their feelings)Resources & LinksLike what you hear?

Many people approach productivity by focusing on systems and discipline, trying to push through tasks with force. This approach often leads to burnout and frustration, especially when we don't address the internal resistance that holds us back. We push ourselves harder, only to feel more closed off and disconnected from the work we aim to do.In this episode, we dive deep into what it means to cultivate an inner state of flow. I explain how being open—filled with curiosity, love, and purpose—can make even the most challenging tasks feel lighter and more fulfilling. I also discuss how a closed state, marked by frustration and resistance, creates obstacles to productivity and how befriending that closed state can unlock new energy and ease.Join me as we uncover how to transform our inner state to make productivity a natural outcome of openness, helping us bring more presence and purpose to our daily work.Topics CoveredThe distinction between open and closed inner statesHow an open state fosters ease and flow in tasksThe challenges of working from a closed stateBefriending our closed state instead of resisting itThe impact of openness on productivity and energyPractical ways to shift toward an open stateThe role of curiosity, compassion, and love in productivityHow to notice and track your inner state during tasksTranscriptYou can find the transcript on the episode's web page by clicking here.Explore Zen HabitsZen Habits BlogFearless Living AcademyFearless MasteryCoaching with LeoConnect with LeoYouTube channelInstagramX (Twitter)LinkedIn FacebookEmail: podcast@zenhabits.netCreditsMusic: Salem Belladonna & Robrecht DumareyEditor: Justin CruzPost-production: Diana C.

We are entering a new phase of understanding how our social environments affect our biology, particularly how they influence the genes involved in brain development and function. This knowledge helps us see how experiences like stress, trauma, and isolation can cause changes at the molecular level that may increase the risk of mental disorders. On the other hand, we're also exploring how positive experiences induced by psychedelics, which create feelings of unity and insight, might lead to beneficial molecular changes.Most mental health disorders, whether psychiatric, neurodevelopmental, or neurodegenerative, arise from both genetic and environmental factors. Recognizing this, research now combines studies of these exposures with molecular biology to better understand how our behaviors and environments can directly impact our genetic expression, shedding light on why some people are more vulnerable to mental health issues. This field, known as behavioral epigenetics, explores how our experiences can shape our genetic makeup and influence our brain health.In this week's episode of the Everything Epigenetics podcast, Dr. Candace Lewis shares her insights into epigenetics, discussing how early life stress can affect gene regulation and how attachment and societal influences shape our biology. The conversation then turns to psychedelics, with Candace outlining the history and ongoing research into their potential as a therapeutic tool for mental health disorders. She explains the mechanics of psychedelic-assisted therapy and the importance of understanding its broader context.We then chat about the therapeutic possibilities of psychedelics and their role in epigenetics, and the importance of creating a safe environment for individuals to explore their emotions and experiences with psychedelics. Candace draws parallels between acute stress and the psychedelic state, suggesting that research into psychedelics could reveal important information about the epigenetic changes they induce. Lastly, Candace also mentions the Psychedelic Genome Project and the significance of collecting data to advance the field.Candace is currently the director of the BEAR Lab at Arizona State University aiming to acknowledge the harm caused by psychology and genetic sciences on minorly groups, increase diversity in training and study cohorts, and change policy to improve mental health for all.In this episode of Everything Epigenetics, you'll learn about: The Brain, Epigenetics, & Altered states Research (BEAR) labComplex relationships between experiences that shape cognition, mood, and behaviorHow stress, trauma, and lack of connection may lead to molecular changes that increase risk for mental disorders.Candace's editorial: What is up with psychedelics anyway?How epigenetics shed light on psychedelic therapyMDMA-assisted therapy DNA methylation of gene systems involved in addiction, cognition, stress, and immune functionHow DNA methylation is associated with MDMA-assisted therapy treatment response for severe PTSDThe hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) AxisSimilarities between the acute stress response and the psychedelic stateThe psychedelic Genome Project (PGP)Where to find Candace:- ASU profile- LinkedIn Support the Show.Thank you for joining us at the Everything Epigenetics Podcast and remember you have control over your Epigenetics, so tune in next time to learn more about how.

One thing is clear from the last four years: public health leaders need to seriously upgrade their skills in communication and partnering. In this episode Anne Zink, who is stepping down as Alaska's Chief Medical Officer, brings us a master class in both topics. Guiding the state through COVID she inspired both a Facebook fan group and the hashtag #ThinkLikeZink. Take a listen and you will see why.We discuss:How we might have avoided the politicization of COVID Partnering with Alaska's tribes to get vaccines to every corner of the stateThe ways her background as a fine art major, mountaineer and emergency medicine doctor shapes her leadership approachAnne is committed to breaking the silos between medical care and public health: “Public health is population health and if you want to make a difference … public health and health care have to be braided together. We need to not think about this in terms of separate systems, but we need to think in terms of patients and to get there, public health is that key chief strategist for population health and needs to be at the table.”Relevant LinksNPR Story on #ThinkLikeZinkArticle on the Five Reasons Dr. Zink is crushing it as a crisis communicatorAn interview with Alaska's top doctorArticle on the rural Alaskan towns leading the country in vaccinationCase study on the partnership between public health and tribes for vaccine distribution in AlaskaInformation on the Watson FellowshipAbout Our GuestAnne Zink grew up in Colorado and moved through her training from College in Philadelphia to Medical School at Stanford and then Residency at the University of Utah. As a mountaineering guide she had fallen in love with Alaska and after residency in Emergency Medicine became lucky enough to call Alaska home. Not only does she love the people and the place, but also the medicine. She quickly became involved in helping improve systems of care as the medical director of her group, then in her hospital and with state and federal legislation, including state legislation to improve care coordination, opioid addiction treatment options, and integration between private systems and the VA, DOD, and IHS facilities and more.Dr. Zink became Alaska's Chief Medical Officer in July 2019. In all the work she does, she strives to create work environments, policies and practices that are data-driven, foster collaboration and build system efficiencies that put patients first.

The Long Nineteenth CenturyThe long nineteenth century really began in 1789 with the French Revolution and ending with World War One. This phrase was coined by the British historian Eric Hogsbawm to describe a series of events that made speaking of 1789 to 1914 make more sense historically speaking than 1800 to 1900. He categorized this long nineteenth century into three connected but distinct eras: the Age of Revolution from 1789 to 1848, the Age of Capital from 1848 to 1875, and the Age of Empire from 1875 to 1914. Hogsbawm was a committed Communist throughout most of his life, and so, he sees History in terms of the Marxist lens of power struggles. In the midst of this time period, there were certainly struggles. The Enlightenment ideals came to a head with the French Revolution's cries of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. The absolute monarchies and conservatism were being challenged and the revolution was willing to use violence, if necessary, to change the dynamic of power and secure liberal values for the common man. At the time, there were three classes in society, known as estates: the first estate was the clergy, the second estate was the nobility, and the third estate were the commoners. And, of course, the king enjoyed absolute power over the whole polity. Once this hierarchical structure was deposed and democracy was awoken, the revolutionary spirit spread throughout Europe. By 1848, only Russia and Britain remained largely untouched, in terms of the monarchy. The Industrial Revolution was in full swing by the middle of the long nineteenth century. Factories were rising up throughout the United States and Europe. These factories often had horrific conditions, but they led to the concentration of wealth among the owners and operators of private enterprises. The tycoons of various enterprises became obscenely wealthy, but with the overturning of the feudal system, the common man was finding it difficult to earn a decent wage. The conditions in factories and mills led to men in their mid-thirties retiring because they were physically no longer able to work. Child labor was common. The work week consisted of six days and the work day was sometimes sixteen hours long. In some factories, tired workers would endure burns, cuts, scrapes, lost fingers, hair getting caught in machinery, or even death. Admittedly the imperial system exported European culture and organizational strategies and structures to locales throughout the world. However, the subjection to hard labor, low pay, and widespread corruption made it hard for locals to see colonization as a good thing. Especially in Africa, the lines drawn on maps by the Europeans created conflict between various tribes which up to that point were at relative peace with one another. The long nineteenth century undoubtedly led to the world in which we now find ourselves. The progress of man in terms of technology, communication, and global interconnection was epoch-defining. However, as we can see from the 20th Century, the abandoning of conservatism, traditional morality, solidarity among people, and Neitzche's “death of God” led to death, genocide, destruction, and a refusal to recognize the dignity fo the human person that the world had never seen on such a large scale. The same Communism that rose to prominence in the long nineteenth century and promised utopia ultimately was the direct cause of the negative effects and human death in the twentieth century. In the nineteenth century, Communism was on the rise, social change was rapidly reordering Europe, industrialization was in full swing and capitalism was becoming the dominant economic system. The working man was mistreated egregiously in many places and communism became more and more appealing. It also should not be forgotten that the aristocracy stood to gain the most from the new capitalist systems. Workers were unambiguously exploited and impoverished. Rerum NovarumIt is in this context, in 1891, that Pope Leo XIII wrote and released Rerum Novarum on Capital and Labor. This letter is the first of his social encyclicals and begins the development of what is now called Catholic Social Teaching (CST). CST is nothing other than an application of perennial Church teaching to the modern developments of capitalism, liberalism, socialism, materialism, and the like. So, CST is not new, but the world's ideologies and systems are. How does the Church speak truth to the world and ensure that people are being approached with true dignity? This is what CST aims to do. It is not a social justice warrior ideology. It is not an endorsement of capitalism or communism.The three major themes of Rerum Novarum are:* The balancing of labor and capital* The common good and * The role of the statePope Leo XIII also recognized the special status of the poor in social issues and especially God's love, compassion, and favor for the poor. This would later be called the preferential option for the poor. Balancing Labor and CapitalPope Leo XIII says early on in the document that:“It is no easy matter to define the relative rights and mutual duties of the rich and of the poor, of capital and of labor. And the danger lies in this, that crafty agitators are intent on making use of these differences of opinion to pervert men's judgments and to stir up the people to revolt (RN, 2).”In this, the Pope is acknowledging why workers are upset. They are being mistreated. He does not deny the good that the capitalist system can bring, but throughout Rerum Novarum he offers a helpful and important critique. He is likewise wary of liberalism and socialism. Without denying the reality of the world around him, the Pope is able to offer a balanced take on the situation. This is why Rerum Novarum continues to be so important throughout the ensuing 132 years. The good distinctions the Pope is making are timeless!Speaking of these rights and duties and offering a critique of the Marxist view of class struggle, the Pope says:“The great mistake made in regard to the matter now under consideration is to take up with the notion that class is naturally hostile to class, and that the wealthy and the working men are intended by nature to live in mutual conflict. So irrational and so false is this view that the direct contrary is the truth. Just as the symmetry of the human frame is the result of the suitable arrangement of the different parts of the body, so in a State is it ordained by nature that these two classes should dwell in harmony and agreement, so as to maintain the balance of the body politic. Each needs the other: capital cannot do without labor, nor labor without capital. Mutual agreement results in the beauty of good order, while perpetual conflict necessarily produces confusion and savage barbarity. Now, in preventing such strife as this, and in uprooting it, the efficacy of Christian institutions is marvellous and manifold. First of all, there is no intermediary more powerful than religion (whereof the Church is the interpreter and guardian) in drawing the rich and the working class together, by reminding each of its duties to the other, and especially of the obligations of justice (RN, 19).”Workers have duties towards their employers, the Pope says. They are to perform their work conscientiously which they have freely agreed to undertake. They should not settle issues with violence nor should they damage the property of their employer. Further they are “to have nothing to do with men of evil principles, who work upon the people with artful promises of great results, and excite foolish hopes which usually end in useless regrets and grievous loss (RN, 20).”On the other hand, employers have duties as well. They should respect the dignity of their workers. There is a contract between employer and worker; they are not indentured servants, nor should they be seen as a factor in production. The employer needs to remember that working for a living is an honorable thing. They are not to overtax their workers by giving them work that is beyond their physical or mental capability. Employers must not defraud their employees into reducing their wages or create undue pressure. He says, “To defraud any one of wages that are his due is a great crime which cries to the avenging anger of Heaven (RN, 20).”One of the most important items that Pope Leo writes about is the idea of what we now call a “living wage.” He says: “Let the working man and the employer make free agreements, and in particular let them agree freely as to the wages; nevertheless, there underlies a dictate of natural justice more imperious and ancient than any bargain between man and man, namely, that wages ought not to be insufficient to support a frugal and well-behaved wage-earner. If through necessity or fear of a worse evil the workman accept harder conditions because an employer or contractor will afford him no better, he is made the victim of force and injustice (RN, 45).”These free agreements duly honor the dignity of man and also lead to the flourishing of the worker, the employer, and the State. So, the Pope argues, the State should ensure that the interests of the working class are “carefully watched over” because it will be a benefit to the whole community that “being housed, clothed, and bodily fit, they may find their life less hard and more endurable (RN, 34).”The Common GoodLet us now briefly examine the second main theme: the common good. In a critique of socialism, the Pope says that people have a right to private ownership. However, this right must be balanced against the notion of the common good. He says:“The chief and most excellent rule for the right use of money is one the heathen philosophers hinted at, but which the Church has traced out clearly, and has not only made known to men's minds, but has impressed upon their lives. It rests on the principle that it is one thing to have a right to the possession of money and another to have a right to use money as one wills. Private ownership, as we have seen, is the natural right of man, and to exercise that right, especially as members of society, is not only lawful, but absolutely necessary (RN, 22).”He goes on to say, though, that:“Whoever has received from the divine bounty a large share of temporal blessings, whether they be external and material, or gifts of the mind, has received them for the purpose of using them for the perfecting of his own nature, and, at the same time, that he may employ them, as the steward of God's providence, for the benefit of others (RN, 22).”So, there is nothing wrong with having material wealth. But these gifts need to be used well and properly ordered for the good of all, in common. The Pope makes this point explicitly when he says, “all citizens, without exception, can and ought to contribute to that common good in which individuals share so advantageously to themselves… (RN, 34).” There must, of course, be a special concern in weighing the good of all in society towards the poor and marginalized, precisely because they are powerless, in many concerns, to advocate for themselves. The Role of the StateThe role of the state is the third main theme. And it is fairly simple. The State exists to ensure the wellbeing for all in society, that the common good is served. And the state must support individuals and families to grow and develop. He writes:“Hereby, then, it lies in the power of a ruler to benefit every class in the State, and amongst the rest to promote to the utmost the interests of the poor; and this in virtue of his office, and without being open to suspicion of undue interference - since it is the province of the commonwealth to serve the common good. And the more that is done for the benefit of the working classes by the general laws of the country, the less need will there be to seek for special means to relieve them (RN, 32).”Besides ensuring the dignity of the human person, this advice is so practical. If workers are benefited from the outset, then the needs of special programs will be lessened and perhaps eliminated. Can you imagine, for example, a society which takes the needs of the lower and middle classes seriously in a preemptive sense rather than pouring money into social welfare programs that address needs after the fact? What would need to change in society for this to be a reality? It is something which I think current and future generations must contend with. And, frankly, the Catholic Church is the only institution which can lead the way, as we always have. The balance needed, especially in our broad and globalized society, comes from the life-giving saving Gospel of Jesus Christ instantiated through the principles of solidarity and subsidiarity.The State should not subsume the place of individuals and families. It should be at the service of them and no more. As the Pope says,“We have said that the State must not absorb the individual or the family; both should be allowed free and untrammelled action so far as is consistent with the common good and the interest of others (RN, 35).”Human beings have dignity and worth, and the human family is the fundamental cell of society. If the State overwhelms this reality then society falls apart. If you are interested in more of an analysis on this, please go listen to my episode on Solidarity and Subsidiarity. In Rerum Novarum, the Pope teaches clearly that an important key to human dignity is the availability of fulfilling work, with pay and working conditions that show care and concern for the needs of the worker. Further, families have tangible needs and communities need to benefit from private enterprise. ConclusionI have not even scratched the surface of the masterpiece that is Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII. I highly recommend giving the whole thing a read through, especially if you are engaged in private enterprise, government work, or are a worker or employer. So, what I'm saying, really, is that everyone should read this document! If you would like a walk through the seven main themes of Catholic Social Teaching, please go listen to the episode entitled: “Does Jesus Want us to be Social Justice Warriors?” Admittedly, the title is a bit clickbaity but I basically just explain the broad movements of Catholic Social Teaching.

Artie Gonzales is a survivor, a reformed individual, and a role model for those seeking redemption and personal growth. Having experienced the harsh reality of the justice system at a young age, Artie turned his life around during his 21 years of incarceration in the California prison system. He has since emerged as an advocate for legislative reforms, a member of social justice organizations, and a campaigner for empathy and humanity in the workplace. Artie's incredible journey is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the value of looking beyond our own prejudices to understand and empathize with those facing great adversity.We found it important to include Artie in our Humanity in the Workplace season because recognizing the humanity of every worker and fostering an environment of empathy and understanding is essential for creating a thriving organization. By embracing inclusivity and valuing each individual's unique perspectives, businesses can develop a more well-rounded decision-making process, increase workforce satisfaction, and ultimately achieve better results. Artie Gonzales's experiences with Manifest Works, a program that trains system-impacted individuals for positions in the film industry, showcases the power of humanizing the workplace. He credits the program for helping him transition back into society, praising their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Artie's story highlights the potential of a compassionate and inclusive workplace to transform lives and create opportunities for personal and professional growth.In this episode, we talk about:The value of a strong emotional wellness foundation for personal and professional growthThe key role of social connections and the consequences of isolation on our emotional stateThe human stories intertwined within the justice systemKey leadership skills that promote humanity and empathy in a work environmentLeveraging empathetic, compassionate, and heart-centered leadership for a unified mission and visionAbout Artie:Artie Gonzales was tried as an adult at the age of sixteen. He went on to spend twenty-one years of a Life sentence in the California prison system, eight of which included housing within a supermax Solitary Confinement unit. Here, he evolved past his surroundings, committing himself to rehabilitation and non-violence. Released as a model prisoner in 2015, he has become a leader in his community, an advocate for legislative reforms, and a member of several social justice organizations.  After graduating from a Hollywood-oriented workforce development program, ManifestWorks (of which he currently sits on the Board of Directors), he rose through the ranks and made a lifelong dream a reality.

She has been an avid equestrian since age four. Before becoming a Chiropractor Dr. Petra was an Equine Sports Massage Therapist for 10 years.She currently operates two businesses: Mancos Chiropractic, a three-doctor chiropractic practice for humans and small animals, and Equus Chiropractic which solely focuses on equine chiropractic. She travels all over the state of Colorado adjusting Top Level Competition horses to Backyard ponies. She loves the variety of her work and has a deep passion for chiropractic history and philosophy as it pertains to animal chiropractic. She has spent countless hours at the Palmer Davenport Archives to gain a deeper understanding of animal chiropractic's past.What many chiropractors don't understand is that animal chiropractic may not be covered under your human chiropractic statute in your place of residency. With this knowledge, Dr. Petra started to gain traction in the state of Colorado to help change the laws so animals could have access to well-qualified, certified, and licensed professionals. She and many others worked tirelessly to change these laws between the veterinary medical association and the Colorado Chiropractic Association. After a full year of negotiations, their Chiropractic Practice Act was passed allowing Doctors of Chiropractic to adjust animals!  So join us today to learn how you can start navigating change where you live to help animals have access to chiropractic care!Topics covered in this episode:How Dr. Petra has helped change the laws in Colorado, so animals have more access to well-qualified, certified, and licensed providersThe benefits of working with your chiropractic association to bring about change in your stateThe different strategies you can use to help you get startedThe barriers that may be holding your bill back and how to overcome those challenges along the wayThe importance of knowing your audienceHow the laws in Colorado were before and after the bill passed, and how it has changed Dr. Petra's practiceHow B.J.

Most 2023 housing market predictions sound like this, “The sky is falling! Sell everything! Houses will be worth $1 next year! This is just like 2008!” Look at the track record of those who shill predictions like this. These are the same forecasters who have been predicting a crash will happen at some point over the last ten years. Now, with a whiff of fear in the air, mainstream real estate journalists will do anything they can to convince you we're having a repeat of 2008. However, this is far from the truth.But how could we forecast the 2023 housing market without data? And where there's data, there's Dave Meyer, VP of Data and Analytics at BiggerPockets and host of the On the Market podcast. Dave and his team have recently released “The 2023 State of Real Estate Investing Report,” which gives all the housing market data you need to invest successfully in 2023. In it, Dave shares how the 2022 housing market flipped once the Fed raised rates, how supply and demand have been affected, and what we can expect for 2023.Dave will also go over the three investing strategies he feels are more appropriate for investing in 2023, including a completely passive way to invest, a cash flow and appreciation combo, and how buyers can take advantage of this market to get deals at a steep discount. While we can't predict the future, we can give you our best insight into what you can do to build wealth in 2023. So turn off the mainstream fear forecasting and tune into real news designed to make you richer!In This Episode We Cover:Why 2023 is not a “normal” housing market and the details leading up to today's stateThe “levers” that affect home prices and why 2023 is NOT the same as 2008Seller's vs. buyer's markets and where prices are most expected to dipHomebuyer demand and how unaffordability has caused most buyers to sit on their handsMortgage rate increases and how the Fed is using high rates to combat inflationThe three strategies that work in today's housing market and how to invest while others sit on the sidelines2023 housing market predictions and when we could potentially see home prices bottomAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an Investor-Friendly Real Estate AgentBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets MerchListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceLearn About Real Estate, The Housing Market, and Money Management with The BiggerPockets PodcastsGet More Deals Done with The BiggerPockets Investing ToolsFind a BiggerPockets Real Estate Meetup in Your AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramDavid's YouTube ChannelBooks Mentioned in this EpisodeReal Estate by the Numbers by J Scott and Dave MeyerReal Estate Note Investing by Dave Van HornConnect with Dave:Dave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's Instagram“On the Market” Podcast“On The Market” YouTube ChannelClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-718Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

The reason I'm talking about trauma today is because it can be a huge part of our relationship with food and our body image.Trauma is not necessarily the event that happens. It's how it gets stored physically, and psychologically.Trauma impacts the capacity to make sense of the past, inward sensations (body sensations), environmental (outside sensations), and the stories you tell yourself (what meaning you create).How it gets stored in our nervous systems can lead to consequences such as fatigue, dissociation from the body, depression, anxiety etc.Trauma can leave us repeating loops to reinforce the view of self and the world. If you learned you're not good enough, you're not safe, you're a failure, you'll subconciously repeat situations to reinforce that. This is where I see the connection between trauma and dieting.When we choose to deprive and restrict ourselves from food, and as research supports, we'll inevitably emotionally eat, binge eat and “fall off the plan” which reinforces the belief, “I'm a failure” and “I can't trust myself.”I think food obsession (dieting) is an attempt to feel in control in some way when there's something you're experiencing that feels out of control such as bad marriage or terrible boss at work. Dieting, or food and exercise obsession can provide an element of control.Dieting might be a way of calming your nervous system and food might be the only source of pleasure for you that feels safe or accessible.What to Do Instead:The first step is to get honest about your relationship with food. Do you fall into the on/off wagon pattern, or perfectionism around food, or feeling out of control? What need is this meeting? What thoughts are you reinforcing about yourself? Is your current relationship with food actually serving your emotional and mental health?If you need more support in your relationship with food and learning to trust yourself, I have a new offer coming early 2023 which will include an option for 1:1 coaching sessions with me.Make sure you stay in the know by joining my email list and you'll get the freebie, Top 5 Reasons Your Diet Keeps Failing.What you'll learn in this episode:Understand what trauma isExamples of complex trauma and why you're stuck in the fight or freeze stateThe connection between trauma and dietingWhat you can do to begin healing your food and body traumaTop 5 Reasons Your Diet Keeps Failing

In this episode, we recap and analyze Episode 10 of It's Okay to Not Be Okay, the hit K Drama on Netflix. In this episode, the children's story is The Girl Who Cried Wolf, based on The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Meun Young says the boy was lonely up on the mountain, which is why he kept crying wolf. When the wolf did come, nobody believed him. Meun Young believes that if even one person had believed him, he would not have died.The episode opens with Sang Tae announcing to the hospital that Gang Tae wanted him dead and that he pushed him (Sang Tae) into the river. He is eventually given sedatives and put into an isolation room. A devastated Gang Tae pushes Meun Young away, telling her that he has woken from a dream and he should have focused instead on his brother. Sang Tae eventually goes home with Ju-ri's mom. Whe Gang Tae comes home, he apologizes for lying to Sang Tae, for saying that he wanted him dead, for wishing his brother was normal. Sang Tae comes out of his wardrobe and comforts a sobbing Gang Tae.Meanwhile, Meun Young threatens Gang Tae, who has rejected him. She goes to Ju-ri's house, asks Ju-ri's mom for seaweed soup because it's her birthday, and then gives the doll Mang Tae back to Sang Tae.The episode also featured:Ju-ri and Meun Young drinking together, and Ju-ri slapping Meun Young in a drunken stateThe publisher and Jae-soo fighting over who is to blame for the debacle between Sang Tang, Gang Tae and Meun Young.Meun Young's dad tried to choke Park Ok-ran, whom he heard singing “Oh my darling Clementine” and reading The Murder of the Witch of the WestAt the end of the episode, Park Ok-ran hits a caregiver on the head with a rock and then escapes from the hospital. Gang Tae figures out that she is headed to the cursed castle, so he races to Meun Young. Meun Young answers a knock on the door and finds Park Ok-ran standing on her front step, wishing her a happy birthday.References:How seaweed soup became Korea's traditional birthday dishSouth Korea's obsession with fried chicken explained8 restaurants you've seen in K Dramas
