The Power Within: Unleashing Your Potential Against All Odds Conservation With Daniel Packard (https://www.danielpackard.com/)Overcoming Anxiety and Fear for a Victorious LifeThis podcast episode from the 'Walk in Victory' show, hosted by NaRon Tillman, features a deep dive into personal struggles and breakthroughs. Sharing his own story, NaRon recounts his early challenges, including being kicked out of college and battling with depression and anxiety. He emphasizes the importance of confronting underlying issues rather than just changing one's environment. The episode introduces Daniel, who has developed a revolutionary program aimed at permanently resolving fear and anxiety through a unique, mechanical approach, likened to fixing a mechanical issue in the body. This solution promises to help individuals not just manage, but be completely freed from their anxieties and fears, enabling them to lead happier, more fulfilled lives. Daniel shares insights into the development of this method and its profound impact on people's lives, including increasing productivity, enhancing relationships, and boosting overall well-being. The discussion also touches on the challenges of introducing such an innovative solution and the skepticism it faces, despite its effectiveness and the life-changing results it delivers.Time Line00:00 Welcome to Walk In Victory Podcast00:47 NaRon Tillman's Personal Journey: From Struggle to Insight08:13 Guest Daniel Shares His Story: Overcoming Academic and Emotional Challenges19:16 Tackling Fear and Anxiety: Daniel's Innovative Approach23:39 The Importance of Motivation in Overcoming Fear and Anxiety33:03 Freud's Influence and the Founding of Modern Psychology33:45 Challenging Traditional Therapy with Innovative Results34:57 Making Mental Health Solutions Accessible and Affordable37:37 Personal Journey to Revolutionize Mental Health38:17 The Skepticism and Challenges of Introducing a New Solution43:36 Real-Life Success Stories: Transforming Lives46:10 The Commitment and Mechanics of the Program50:43 Beyond the Program: Impact on Personal and Professional Growth56:17 A Call to Action: Transforming Communities and Lives01:00:16 Closing Thoughts and EncouragementBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/walk-in-victory--4078479/support.

Would you show love to a masked gunman who abducted you and your family? For Jamie Winship, the answer was yes. As he shares the details of this frightening experience, Jamie will inspire you to exchange fear for love as you seek God's true identity for you. Key Takeaways Being in your true identity makes you more relational, take risks, and face reality. The enemy is always in the hypothetical future, but God is in the present. To identify false identities, ask God, “What are the things I believe about myself that hurt me?” Your true identity in God will be others-focused, self-emptying, and characterized by unconditional love for your enemies. Jamie Winship Jamie Winship is known for bringing peaceful solutions to some of the world's highest conflict areas. His work in law enforcement and education led his family around the world, including South Asia and the Middle East. Jamie and his wife, Donna, are co-founders of Identity Exchange and have three adult sons. Key Quotes 11:26 - "When you watch Jesus, Jesus never runs anywhere. He's never in a hurry. He's never freaked out. He not dramatic. He is intense. Like when He throws over the tables, but it's so tactically smart what He's doing, it's so well thought out. He's not just dramatically reacting to drama. So never participate, the enemy loves drama. The enemy loves drama because drama goes out of control. 15:36 - "You're in constant conflict. Either inside yourself or with people around you. Those are the signs of the false self. It's self-protection. Self-promotion. Separation is a sign of the false self. The false self will always move in separation, never in connection with others. It'll constantly separate out. The soul that sinneth, the soul that separates it will die. It's not about you did a bad thing, God's going to kill you. It's like human beings were made to live in connection with others and God. And when we separate it, it basically destroys us. Those are the symbols, the signs of the false self. But deeper than that, this is the exercise I would suggest is just sit alone with God and just breathe and relax and try and settle down and just say, God, search me right now. And would You help me to be able to say the things that I believe about myself that hurt me? What are the things I believe about myself that hurt me? And and just let them come to your mind."

Jamie Winship is no stranger to conflict. From working as a police officer to living in international war zones, he learned how to tackle fear with faith—and he modeled it for his children, too. In this episode, Jamie details some of the dangerous situations his family faced as they followed God's calling. Plus, he'll inspire you to hang onto joy, even when fear tries to swallow you whole. Key Takeaways When living in a high-conflict area—whether a warzone or your home—you have to gamify preparedness with joy instead of fear. There are times when you may need to pray to be invisible. If you're afraid to fail, you won't be able to model courage in front of other people. God cannot invite you into greater challenges in the future if your only goal is self-protection and self-promotion. The greatest gift you can give your kids is the truth of who you are. Jamie Winship Jamie Winship is known for bringing peaceful solutions to some of the world's highest conflict areas. His work in law enforcement and education led his family around the world, including South Asia and the Middle East. Jamie and his wife, Donna, are co-founders of Identity Exchange and have three adult sons. Key Quotes 20:13 - "Only the fear of falling and loud noises is is innate in us, but all other fear is learned. I want to say to your listeners, what are you afraid of? That's the most important question, what am I afraid of? And this is a daily question. It's not a one off. It's even incident into incident. Why am I afraid right now? Fear is beautiful because it's a warner, it's a flashing warning light. It's an invitation to transformation. It's an invitation to a conversation that leads to transformation. God, why am I afraid right now? What am I afraid of?" 21:34 - "God wants me to know I can protect you in any situation. Though a thousand fall on my right and 10,000 fall on my left, yet will I stand? God says, I want you to know that I can protect you in this kind of situation. How would I know that? By staying. By staying. Why would you want me to know that? Because in the future are greater challenges than this that I want to invite you into, But I can't invite you into them, if the goal of your life is self-protection and self-promotion. Because that's how fear works. And if your goal is self-protection and self-promotion, it will become the goal of your kids. Let's teach them other than that worldview." 29:39 - "External conflict produced by internal conflict, produced by fear, produced by false identity. What's the shift? The shift is not in, stop the war, bring financial aid, change religions. None of that stuff has ever worked. It's a transformation of the human heart, which the whole Bible is telling us. And we're looking for some other solution. Spiritual transformation in your own heart. You're living in a false identity. It's a shift into the true identity, which can only be known in Christ. Shift into true identity moves you into courage. It encourages you, which moves you into internal peace, which makes you able to create external peace."

In this episode, I dive into the topic of failing forward and starting regardless of being bad at the beginning. I had some epiphanies while I was in my Zumba class… When have you stopped yourself from doing something because you were afraid you would look bad? Or afraid you could do it? Or afraid that you would fail? Or afraid that others will judge you? I have been afraid of all these things! I have extreme expectations for myself and I strive for perfection. This mindset has shifted for me but it is a work in progress. At Zumbia I had many interesting thoughts that turned into beautiful lesions. I had to suck at something in order to become better (the thing is referring to my dancing skills

Fear can infect you and lead you down a path of negative thoughts. You can begin to recognize and stop the negative thoughts by catching and beating the "What If" monster. Psalm 34:4 and 2 Timothy 1:7 were mentioned in today's episode.
Hello, well here we are at week 11 the penultimate podcast in this series. And in response to one of the main themes of the catch up calls and (as you'll find in the podcast) data from the CDC in the USA [the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention- they play the same role as Sir Chris Whitty and colleagues in the USA] showing that fear and anxiety was the second biggest cause of hospitalisation and death when someone fell ill with COVID.In this podcast, we speak with Gavin Andrews, MD of HeartMath UK and Ireland, co-founder of WeAddHeart a now global meditation initiative set up in response to the pandemic and also of Syntropy, a new app that integrates digital art, music and meditation to help people get faster and easier results from their meditation and relaxation efforts.And we also get into the great advice many of you shared in the questionnaire from last week. There were some fantastic contributions showing the care and wisdom in this community. Thank you.

“If you can recognize that you want to feel empowered, that you want greater vitality and health, that you want to be able to deal with stress better, that you want to find a community that you belong to.

Scientist & entrepreneur Komal Dadlani is starting some powerful shifts in science and education. While studying biochemistry in the University of Chile, Komal recognized the lack of scientific instruments in laboratories. So, in 2013, despite having had no prior knowledge of entrepreneurship and business start-ups at the time, Komal courageously took on the challenge of co-founding and becoming CEO of Lab4U, a company that develops technologies that transform mobile devices into scientific instruments. Lab4U is designed to supplement the gaps in science and education and allows its 120,000 users around the world to have a lab in their pockets. Komal, guided by her desire to serve humanity, is committed to democratizing science and revolutionizing education by helping students become more inquisitive about the world. She has received numerous accolades in recognition of her work, including the Cartier Women's Initiative Award. In today's episode, Komal and I discuss the gaps in science & education in Chile and Latin America and how those inequalities inspired her to start Lab4U. We describe the beauty of science and how we can all don lab coats and be scientists of our lives and explain why, as a society, we need to grow our “threshold” of science. We also highlight the importance of integrating spirituality, science, and business and how revolutionizing science and education can impact society and alleviate suffering in the world. “Good intentions are not enough to solve the world's problems - we need a real understanding of science to change them.” - Komal Dadlani This week on Shift-Starters: The impetus behind Lab4U The science & education inequalities in Chile and Latin America The beauty of science and what defines a scientist Life as a series of data points and why a PhD is an entrepreneurial venture Bringing the scientific mindset into education and entrepreneurship The power of inquiry-based learning and the importance of helping students inquire about the world The fundamental philosophy of coaching Science as an approach to life and the long-term vision of Lab4U Exploring epistemology and the philosophy of science Transforming education to reduce social pain and the importance of civic & scientific literacy The lessons Komal realized about being a woman entrepreneur in a male-dominated world My past life in the tech industry and the perspective that's missing in start-up culture The place of spirituality in science and business The tension between science and religion and how the two can work in symbiosis Resources Mentioned: The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality by His Holiness the Dalai Lama The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: A New Paradigm for Sustainable Success by Jim Dethmer, Diana Chapman, and Kaley Warner Klemp Related Content: Leave it Better Than You Came with Sophia Wood Connect with Komal Dadlani: Lab4U Lab4U on LinkedIn Lab4U on Instagram Lab4U on Facebook Lab4U on Twitter Komal Dadlani on LinkedIn Komal Dadlani on Instagram Komal Dadlani on Twitter EMAIL: info@komaldadlani.com / komal@Lab4U.co Let's Start Some Shift!

Where in your work do you hold yourself back, discounting your knowledge and experience, thinking that everybody knows what you already know? Do you often think that the wisdom you possess is simply obvious, so you hold yourself back from sharing it with your clients, peers, and the wider world? These thoughts occur to many of us so frequently that they prevent us from sharing our gifts, talents, and wisdom with the world. We tell ourselves we don't have anything worthy to say or teach. We never put up the coaching programs or workshops we said we would because everyone already knows what we have to share with the world. In this episode, I reveal the curse that many high-achievers, top-performers, and lifelong learners suffer from - and how you can move through it. I describe our tendency to undervalue our knowledge and expertise and explain how this tendency prevents us from working with others and creating valuable content. I also discuss the importance of taking risks in testing whether the knowledge you possess is simply common and underscore the power of asking “why?” “Remind yourself that you have so much more to give to this world than you are giving yourself credit for.” - Erin Baker This week on Shift-Starters: A clapping experiment and the curse of knowledge The curse of knowledge and how it can impede entrepreneurs and leaders from creating and sharing our gifts with the world How we undervalue our knowledge and what our experience tells us How the curse of knowledge affects me in my everyday life A strategy for getting past the curse of knowledge Testing how obvious your knowledge and experience are Pulling an idea and creating social media content, workshops, or courses around your knowledge and ways of being The value of surrounding yourself with beginners Let's Start Some Shift!

Across the span of his career, Norman Bacal, a retired entertainment attorney and founder of the Toronto Office and former national co-managing partner of Canadian law firm Heenan Blaikie noticed a void between what he was taught in law school and the practical skills he later developed that actually made a difference in building a successful career. Last week we spoke about his book, Take Charge, The Skills to Drive Professional Success. I asked him to come back to talk about how to tackle fear, failure, and risk.

Executive & Leadership Coach ClaireYvonne Naisbitt was already creating some great shifts in her life when I first met her. After 20 years of being a senior leader in the oil & gas industry, ClaireYvonne decided that she wanted to do something completely different in her life. So, she left her corporate job and went on a journey of deep work and self-exploration where she contemplated femininity, duality, and the “ands” of the world.

In this episode, ClaireYvonne and I discuss how we can turn the loud concert in our heads into birdsong. We share what leaving her corporate job taught her about trusting our path, even if we don't fully understand it. We discuss the importance of cultivating a space where we can listen to the subtle wisdom of our heart and body. We also underscore the role of nature in healing, the importance of bringing more femininity into the world, and highlight how creativity and happiness come whenever we reconnect deeply with ourselves. “Nature is a big bomb for the soul.

When he was elected, Angela soon found herself in the White House serving as an aide and became the first African-American woman to serve as the White House Usher, a role where Angela had the opportunity to manage staff, logistics, and operations. After seven years of service in the White House, Angela spent the last part of her political career as the first and only Leadership Development Director at the US Department of Education.

In this episode, Angela and I discuss what it takes to move the needle of racism and bridge our biggest divides in society. We discuss her journey and how searching for purpose helped Angela know she was on the right path. We define what it means to be courageous and highlight why it's okay to not know every step of the way in life's journey.

Where in your life have you decided you simply can't? And in this area of your journey, have you ever stopped to think what can happen if you asked yourself, “What if it's possible?” Because that's exactly what started some shifts in the life of Tim Snell, Head of Performance at the London tech start-up Modulous. Asking “what if'' questions took Tim on a journey that led him to a path of healing and self-discovery that opened his heart. Today, in addition to working on projects and initiatives at Modulous, Tim is also a Certified International Leadership & Performance Coach and SOMA Breath Advanced Instructor who leads his clients into places they never imagined they could achieve. In this episode, Tim and I discuss how the story of a young boy inspired him to embark on a spiritual journey and discover what's possible. We describe how Tim had lost his hearing at age four and how he later questioned the diagnosis about his hearing loss. We explain what shifts started happening as a result of Tim's deep exploration within. We also discuss the memoir Tim is currently writing, the challenges of the writing process, and the reason writers should never hike alone. “The process of ‘what if' is about opening yourself up to a different reality. It's also about working through other real blocks inside you.” - Tim Snell This week on Shift-Starters: Tim's journey of self-discovery and learning why he lost his hearing at a young age How Tim was treated differently after losing his hearing Turning to spiritual explorations to find answers The story of a boy who healed himself through meditative practices What Tim learned about his hearing loss when he went to a retreat in Peru Going deep into one's personal shadows and re-learning how to listen Discovering the blocks that prevented Tim from hearing How it's easy for us to blame other people for our problems and the importance of ownership Integrating our challenging experiences into ourselves The circumstances that inspired Tim to write his book The value of telling stories to help others Common misconceptions about writing and the writing process Why people should seek a community of writers Resources Mentioned: Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life by Shelley Paxton Connect with Tim Snell: Tim Snell Website Tim Snell on LinkedIn Tim Snell on Instagram Tim Snell on Facebook Tim Snell on YouTube Email: tim@timsnell.co Let's Start Some Shift!

Whenever you hesitate to take a leap of faith into something you dream of, what sort of questions pop into your mind? Are they around the lines of “What if I can't start a business,” “What if I can't write a great book,” or “What if I don't earn enough income?” We tend to go down the rabbit hole of such doubts, preventing us from starting some shifts. But there are better questions that we can ask ourselves. And, like consulting a compass that guides us through life's journey, asking ourselves better questions can shift our mindset and approach towards different actions we want to take. In this episode, I share two better questions you can ask yourself in your shift-starting. I discuss some of my coaching principles and why I do them. I reveal some of the most common questions I hear from people who are about to embark on new journeys, whether it's starting a business, writing a book, or creating a podcast. I also describe what happens when we shift our mindset from “What if I can't?” to “What if I don't?” and explain how we can change the energy of fear by asking powerful questions. “When we ask ourselves ‘What if I can't,' we shut down possibility and creativity. When we ask ‘Can I?' we open up so much more in the world and take risks.” - Erin Baker This week on Shift-Starters: My coaching principles and why I don't give my clients answers The biggest fear clients face when they're starting new projects Better questions to ask yourself before starting some shifts in your life The top regrets of the dying and how we can shift from “What if I can't?” to “What if I don't?” The impact of asking “Can I?” How we can allow ourselves to take risks and try new things Why finding answers aren't everything and the value of curiosity Finding an incredible question to live into Let's Start Some Shift!

We discuss what prompted Erin to create b Authentic Inc. and describe her journey writing her new book, You do You(ish). We also underscore the importance of putting on a lab coat and being a scientist of authenticity, experimenting with life, continuously designing our life path as we go, and starting some shifts. “Authenticity is more than just being yourself. It is less about you and more about connecting with others.” - Erin Hatzikostas This week on Shift-Starters: The meaning of authenticity and why it's more nuanced than just being yourself How being authentic can make people listen to you more What authenticity isn't about and the power of (re)designing our lives Why the “find your true self” trope in the personal development space can be problematic The reason Erin created a movement around authenticity The 50% Rule and Erin's writing process for You Do You(ish) Why Erin cut 20,000 words of You Do You(ish) Life as data points and the value of experimentation Resources Mentioned: Why You Don't Have to Compromise Your Career | Erin Hatzikostas |TEDxFarmingdale Connect with Erin Hatzikostas: b Authentic Inc b Cause Podcast b Authentic Inc on Facebook b Cause Podcast on Twitter Erin Hatzikostas on LinkedIn Erin Hatzikostas on Instagram Erin Hatzikostas on Facebook Erin Hatzikostas on Twitter Book: You Do You(ish): Unleash Your Authentic Superpowers to Get the Career You Deserve by Erin Hatzikostas Let's Start Some Shift!

One of my favorite songs is from the second act of Hamilton called “Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story?” It just gets me in the gut every time I listen to it. Not just because I'm a fan of musicals: it's also because I resisted telling my story for so many years. Despite having the platform to share my knowledge and wisdom in psychology, leadership, and personal development, I was reluctant to share the experience that made me... me. I didn't believe I was someone who had a story to tell, nor that I was qualified to tell one. Fortunately, life stepped in and taught me the magic of storytelling. In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about my gender identity. I then discuss the power of storytelling and how it impacts both the storyteller and the listener. I explain how we sometimes avoid stepping into our truth just so we can satisfy society's expectations of us. I also describe how you can pick up some wisdom you may have overlooked from your life experience and how you can use it to connect with humanity. “The first person who'll convince you that your story matters is you.” - Erin Baker This week on Shift-Starters: Why I used to hesitate about sharing my story with the world How creating an authentic, inclusive, and equitable world starts with working on our own authenticity A childhood conundrum and how I knew I was different My experience with getting bullied in middle school and high school How we sometimes fear discovering our own truth My college years and stepping out of society's box Discovering and embracing the non-binary identity Claiming my connection to my body and how I decided to get surgery The fear of “what if…” versus the fear of “what if I don't…” and the importance of choosing yourself How getting surgery changed my life What “affective forecasting” means and how being in my truth brought me closer to people How being your most authentic self can be the most powerful thing you can do for your mission Creating a timeline of your life and recollecting the wisdom of your experiences The magic and power of storytelling Let's Start Some Shift!

Chaga mushrooms, a natural way to regrow hair? Tokushima University (Japan), February 28 2021 Alopecia areata is a condition characterized by hair falling out in patches. Research suggests it is caused by the immune system attacking the hair follicles, causing them to shrink and slow down hair production. Because of this, alopecia is called an autoimmune disorder. According to statistics, alopecia is a common autoimmune disorder that affects about 6.8 million people in the U.S. alone. One in five people who suffer from alopecia has a family member with the same condition. Hair loss, however, can vary from nothing more than a few patches to complete loss of hair on the scalp or the entire body. There are currently no mainstream cures for alopecia, and the reason why the immune system attacks hair follicles is still unknown. But in a recent study, researchers at Tokushima University in Japan reported a natural medicine that can potentially reverse the effects of alopecia. Inonotus obliquus, commonly known as chaga, is a parasitic fungus that grows on birch and other trees. It is traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal diseases as well as to maintain healthy hair in many countries in Asia. The researchers screened chaga mushrooms for useful phytochemicals and found that it contains plenty of potential anti-alopecia agents. They discussed their findings in detail in an article published in the Journal of Natural Medicines. Compounds in chaga mushroom promote proliferation of hair follicles Chaga mushrooms refer to the resting body, or sclerotium, of I. obliquus. In countries like China, Korea, Japan and Russia, these mushrooms are known for their favorable effects on lipid metabolism and cardiac function. Research has also found that they possess antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-tumor properties, and even exhibit antiviral properties against the hepatitis C virus and the human immunodeficiency virus. On the other hand, phytochemical analysis of chaga mushrooms reveal that they are rich in polysaccharides, triterpenes and polyphenols. They also contain two components commonly derived from birch trees, namely, betulin (or betulinol) and betulinic acid. Studies show that betulin can help lower cholesterol levels and increase insulin sensitivityin mice, while betulinic acid can activate signaling pathways that lead to cancer cell death. According to Japanese researchers, chaga mushrooms are used in Mongolia to make shampoo that helps with the maintenance of strong, healthy hair. This prompted them to investigate whether chaga mushrooms can be used for the treatment of alopecia. Bioassay-guided fractionation of chaga mushroom extracts allowed them to identify five lanostane-type triterpenes whose structures they confirmed using spectroscopy. The researchers then conducted proliferation assays using human follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs) and found that four of the five triterpenes can promote the proliferation of HFDPCs. The compounds were identified as lanosterol, inotodiol, lanost-8,24-diene-3B,21-diol and trametenolic acid. The researchers also reported that these lanostane-type triterpenes were more potent than minoxidil, a conventional treatment for male-pattern baldness that’s used to promote hair growth. Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that the lanostane-type triterpenes in chaga mushrooms are potent anti-alopecia agents that can be used to stimulate hair growth naturally. Association of serum folate, vitamin A and vitamin C levels with greater bone mineral density Tiajin Fifth Central Hospital (China), February 22, 20221 According to news originating from the Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital research stated, “The conclusions on the associations of specific vitamin levels with bone mineral density (BMD) were controversial. Therefore, the aims of this study were to examine the associations of serum vitamins levels with BMD and the modified effect of race/ ethnicity on these associations in the US adults.” The news editors obtained a quote from the research from Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital: “This study was from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. All participants aged 18 years with complete data were eligible. Serum vitamins A, B9, B12, C, and E levels were assayed using the Quantaphase II Radioassay Kit (Bio-Rad). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was employed to measure BMD, including femur neck and the total hip. There were 6023 participants included in the final analysis. Serum folate, vitamins A and C levels were positively associated with BMD. No significant associations of serum vitamins B12 and E levels with BMD were observed. There were positive associations of serum folate level (b = 0.00027 and 0.00032; and 95% CI: 0.00002-0.00057 and 0.00002-0.00063, respectively), vitamin A level (b = 0.01132 and 0.01115; and 95% CI: 0.00478-0.01787 and 0.00430-0.01799, respectively), and vitamin C level (b = 0.00027 and 0.00029; and 95% CI: 0.00012-0.00042 and 0.00013-0.00045, respectively) with BMD at femur neck and the total hip only in the Not Hispanic participants.” According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Elevated serum folate, vitamins A and C levels were associated with a higher BMD. Furthermore, sex and race/ ethnicity modified the associations of serum vitamins levels with BMD.” Study shows mother's diet may boost immune systems of premature infants Johns Hopkins University, February 25, 2021 Medical researchers have long understood that a pregnant mother's diet has a profound impact on her developing fetus's immune system and that babies -- especially those born prematurely -- who are fed breast milk have a more robust ability to fight disease, suggesting that even after childbirth, a mother's diet matters. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these connections have remained unclear. Now, in a study published Feb. 15, 2021, in the journal Nature Communications, a Johns Hopkins Medicine research team reports that pregnant mice fed a diet rich in a molecule found abundantly in cruciferous vegetables -- such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower -- gave birth to pups with stronger protection against necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). NEC is a dangerous inflammatory condition that destroys a newborn's intestinal lining, making it one of the leading causes of mortality in premature infants. The team also found that breast milk from these mothers continued to confer immunity against NEC in their offspring. Seen in as many as 12% of newborn babies weighing less than 3.5 pounds at birth, NEC is a rapidly progressing gastrointestinal emergency in which normally harmless gut bacteria invade the underdeveloped wall of the premature infant's colon, causing inflammation that can ultimately destroy healthy tissue at the site. If enough cells become necrotic (die) so that a hole is created in the intestinal wall, the bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cause life-threatening sepsis. In earlier mouse studies, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine showed that NEC results when the underdeveloped intestinal lining in premature infants produces higher-than-normal amounts of a protein called toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). TLR4 in full-term babies binds with bacteria in the gut and helps keep the microbes in check. However, in premature infants, TLR4 can act like an immune system switch, with excess amounts of the protein mistakenly directing the body's defense mechanism against disease to attack the intestinal wall instead. "Based on this understanding, we designed our latest study to see if indole-3-carbinole, or I3C for short, a chemical compound common in green leafy vegetables and known to switch off the production of TLR4, could be fed to pregnant mice, get passed to their unborn children and then protect them against NEC after birth," says study senior author David Hackam, M.D., Ph.D., surgeon-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Children's Center and professor of surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "We also wanted to determine if I3C in breast milk could maintain that protection as the infants grow." In the first of three experiments, Hackam and his colleagues sought to induce NEC in 7-day old mice, half of which were born from mothers fed I3C derived from broccoli during their pregnancies and half from mothers fed a diet without I3C. They found that those born from mothers given I3C throughout gestation were 50% less likely to develop NEC, even with their immune systems still immature at one week after birth. The second experiment examined whether breast milk with I3C could continue to provide infant mice with protection against NEC. To do this, the researchers used mice genetically bred without the binding site on intestinal cells for I3C known as the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). When AHR-lacking pups were given breast milk from mice fed a diet containing I3C, they could not process the compound. Therefore, they developed severe NEC 50% more frequently than infant mice that had the I3C receptor. The researchers say this shows in mice -- and suggests in humans -- that AHR must be activated to protect babies from NEC and that what a mother eats during breastfeeding -- in this case, I3C -- can impact the ability of her milk to bolster an infant's developing immune system. In confirmatory studies, Hackam and his colleagues looked at the amounts of AHR in human tissue obtained from infants undergoing surgery for severe NEC. They found significantly lower than normal levels of the receptor, suggesting that reduced AHR predisposes infants to the disease. Finally, the researchers searched for a novel drug that could be given to pregnant women to optimize AHR's positive effect and reduce the risk of NEC in the event of premature birth. After screening in pregnant mice a variety of compounds already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for other clinical uses, the researchers observed that one, which they called A18 (clinically known as lansoprazole, a drug approved for the treatment of gastrointestinal hyperacidity), activates the I3C receptor, limits TLR4 signaling and prevents gut bacteria from infiltrating the intestinal wall. To show the relevance of what they saw in mice, the researchers tested A18 in the laboratory on human intestinal tissue removed from patients with NEC and found the drug produced similar protective results. "These findings enable us to imagine the possibility of developing a maternal diet that can not only boost an infant's overall growth, but also enhance the immune system of a developing fetus and, in turn, reduce the risk of NEC if the baby is born prematurely," says Hackam. Plant-based diets improve cardiac function, cognitive health Boston University Medical School, February 25, 2021 What if you could improve your heart health and brain function by changing your diet? Boston University School of Medicine researchers have found that by eating more plant-based food such as berries and green leafy vegetables while limiting consumption of foods high in saturated fat and animal products, you can slow down heart failure (HF) and ultimately lower your risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Heart failure (HF) affects over 6.5 million adults in the U.S. In addition to its detrimental effects on several organ systems, presence of HF is associated with higher risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Similarly, changes in cardiac structure and function (cardiac remodeling) that precede the appearance of HF are associated with poor cognitive function and cerebral health. The adoption of diets, such as the Mediterranean diet (MIND) and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), which are characterized by high intakes of plant-based foods are among lifestyle recommendations for the prevention of HF. However, whether a dietary pattern that emphasizes foods thought to promote the maintenance of neurocognitive health also mitigates changes in cardiac structure and function (cardiac remodeling) has been unclear until now. The researchers found the MIND diet, which emphasizes consumption of berries and green leafy vegetables while limiting intakes of foods high in saturated fat and animal products, positively benefited the hearts' left ventricular function which is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body. The researchers evaluated the dietary and echocardiographic data of 2,512 participants of the Framingham Heart Study (Offspring Cohort), compared their MIND diet score to measures of cardiac structure and function and observed that a dietary pattern that emphasizes foods thought to promote the maintenance of neurocognitive health also mitigates cardiac remodeling. According to the researchers previous studies have highlighted the importance of diet as a modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia. "Our findings highlight the importance of adherence to the MIND diet for a better cardiovascular health and further reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in the community," explained corresponding author Vanessa Xanthakis, PhD, assistant professor of medicine and biostatistics at BUSM and an Investigator for the Framingham Heart Study. Although Xanthakis acknowledges that following a healthy diet may not always be easy or fit with today's busy schedules, people should make a concerted effort to adhere to healthy eating to help lower risk of disease and achieve better quality of life. Fear of memory loss impacts well-being and quality of life Trinity College Dublin, February 23, 2021 Research from the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) at Trinity College suggests that experiencing high levels of fear about dementia can have harmful effects on older adults' beliefs about their memory and general well-being. To date, few studies have measured the impact of dementia-related fear on daily functioning, despite its clinical relevance. In this new study, published in the journal Aging and Mental Health, researchers investigated if fear of memory decline predicted increased memory failures and poorer quality of life in older adults. Dr. Francesca Farina, Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health at GBHI, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Cambridge, University of Maastricht and Northwestern University developed a novel scale—known as the Fear of Memory Loss (FAM) scale—to capture different components of fear related to memory loss. Using the scale, healthy older adults aged 55+ were assessed with respect to the different dimensions of fear. Questions probed specific fears like becoming dependent on others, being treated differently by friends or colleagues, and loss of identity, as well as coping strategies like avoiding social situations for fear of embarrassment. Findings from the study showed that having higher levels of fear about dementia was associated with reporting more memory lapses and a lower quality of life. Notably, these results were independent of performance on memory tests and the level of reported anxiety. That is, fears about dementia had a negative influence on peoples' beliefs regardless of how they performed on an objective lab-based memory test, or how they rated their anxiety levels. Key findings: Heightened fear of memory loss significantly predicted lower quality of life and increased self-reported memory failures, after controlling for objective memory performance and general anxiety. There was no difference in the level of fear expressed between those with and without a family history of dementia. Though surprising, this result is consistent with evidence of widespread fear of dementia among the general population. Over half of respondents (57%) said they worried about losing their memory and feared how people would treat them if this happened. The novel FAM scale highlights the important role played by avoidance behaviors in maintaining fear, along with subjective experiences and cognitions. Findings also have important healthcare implications. Fear of dementia is a psychological process that can be modified using interventions such as psycho-education and psychotherapy. The researchers propose a preliminary fear-avoidance model, where perceived changes in memory result in fear, which over time, creates avoidance and social withdrawal. This combination of fear and avoidance has a negative impact on everyday functioning, which then impairs mood and sense of self. Identifying effective ways to challenge fears about dementia could prove beneficial to individuals and society. On the individual level, reducing fear could lead to improvements in how people view their memory function and quality of life. At the societal level, acknowledging and addressing fears about dementia would help to eliminate stigma associated with the condition. Dr. Francesca Farina, Atlantic Fellow at GBHI, and lead author said: "Almost 80% of the general public are concerned about developing dementia, according to the World Alzheimer Report 2019. Evidence also suggests that these fears increase with age. Given global population aging and the increased visibility of dementia, it is crucial that we find ways to address peoples' fears. Understanding and tackling these fears will serve to promote brain health and well-being, and reduce societal stigma for people living with disease and their carers." Tackling Fear and Stigma Through Art Data from the study inspired "Remembering What I Have Forgotten': a fictional diary written from the perspective of someone experiencing symptoms of dementia. Created by Irish artist Aoibheann Brady, student at the National College of Art and Design, the diary aims to capture the feelings and perspectives of people experiencing memory loss. Through the medium of a diary, "Remembering What I Have Forgotten' offers a realistic insight into the experience of dementia, with entries such as "I feel more withdrawn and am not going out or connecting" and "I am anxious that I will make mistakes." This diary, however, was not written by a person—but by a software application known as a chatbot, which had been trained on anonymous interviews with healthcare professionals and carers of people living with dementia. Aoibheann Brady, creator of "Remembering What I Have Forgotten' said: "With this project, I aimed to create work that is a crossover between art and science. I hope it helps demonstrate, to younger generations and members of the art world, that dementia is something that should be considered more in artistic practices." Diet of fish and olive oils beneficially modifies membrane properties in striatal rat synaptosomes National Institute of Neurology & Neurosurgery (Mexico), February 25, 2021 According to news reporting originating in Mexico City, Mexico, research stated, “Essential fatty acids (EFAs) and non-essential fatty acids (nEFAs) exert experimental and clinical neuroprotection in neurodegenerative diseases. The main EFAs, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), nEFAs, and oleic acid (OA) contained in olive and fish oils are inserted into the cell membranes, but the exact mechanism through which they exert neuroprotection is still unknown.” The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the National Institute of Neurology & Neurosurgery, “In this study, we assessed the fatty acids content and membrane fluidity in striatal rat synaptosomes after fatty acid-rich diets (olive- or a fish-oil diet, 15% w/w). Then, we evaluated the effect of enriching striatum synaptosomes with fatty acids on the oxidative damage produced by the prooxidants ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) or quinolinic acid (QUIN). Lipid profile analysis in striatal synaptosomes showed that EPA content increased in the fish oil group in comparison with control and olive groups. Furthermore, we found that synaptosomes enriched with fatty acids and incubated with QUIN or FeSO4 showed a significant oxidative damage reduction.” According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Results suggest that EFAs, particularly EPA, improve membrane fluidity and confer antioxidant effect.” This research has been peer-reviewed. Soy intake is associated with lowering blood pressure in adults: A meta-analysis of randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (Iran), February 24, 2021 Soy has several beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, results of clinical trial studies are equivocal. Thus, the present study sought to discern the efficacy of soy intake on blood pressure. Methods The search process was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, to ascertain studies investigating the efficacy of soy intake on blood pressure in adults, published up to June 2020. A random-effects model was applied to pool mean difference and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Meta-regression analysis was performed to discern potential sources of heterogeneity. Begg’s and Egger’s methods were conducted to assess publication bias. Results Pooled effects from 17 studies revealed a significant improvement in systolic blood pressure (SBP) (-1.64; -3.25 to -0.04 mmHg; I2 = 50.5 %) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (-1.21; -2.29 to -0.12 mmHg, I2 = 50.7 %) following soy consumption, in comparison with controls. Subgroup analysis demonstrated a reduction in both SBP and DBP in younger participants with lower baseline blood pressure and intervention durations of

Like many fitness professionals around the world, Holistic Health & Wellness Expert Terri Cramb had it all. She had a beautiful family, a healthy body, and two thriving fitness studios. But underneath all the external things that made her look successful, Terri was terribly exhausted, stressed, and unhappy. She was tired of trying to keep a business afloat and meeting everybody's expectations of what kind of person she should be. Then, she decided to take a shift that forever changed her perception of life, business, health, and wellness. In this episode, Terri and I discuss her philosophy on health and wellness. We explore the experience that led her to close her fitness studios and inspired her holistic view on what “wellness” means. We highlight the challenges of a service-based business and explain why running one should serve its owner first. We also consider the downsides of today's fitness industry and underscore the power of self-awareness in creating health and wellbeing. “There's a way we can feel good about ourselves physically and soulfully; a way that truly ripples out to the rest of our lives.” - Terri Cramb This week on Shift-Starters: Meeting other people's high expectations and living life like a hamster in a wheel Why Terri decided to shut down her fitness studios The challenges Terri faced after she closed her studios and began to shift The feeling of failure and the terrible stories we tell ourselves about ourselves The business of helping other people make shifts Why service-based businesses need to serve their owners first The time Terri avoided introducing herself as the owner of her business Terri's philosophy on health and wellness A holistic view on health and the dangers of cookie-cutter fitness programs The power of self-awareness in health and wellness How Terri developed her wellness program The role of patience, trust, and perseverance in transformation and shifting Connect with Terri Cramb: Terri Cramb Website Terri Cramb on LinkedIn Terri Cramb on Instagram Terri Cramb on Facebook EMAIL: terri@t-fit.ca Let's Start Some Shift!

Shifting from a “relationship” to a “partnership” is an encompassing theme in the life and work of mentor and spiritual teacher Ken Bechtel. A couple of months away from getting married, Ken was devastated when his former fiance ended their relationship, expressing that her needs were not being met by the relationship. But like her, Ken recognized in retrospect that he had his own unexpressed needs and quickly realized that communicating needs is necessary for a relationship to evolve into a partnership. Today, this epiphany inspires Ken's mission to elevate the level of love in the world and to help women build an inner foundation of love by partnering people with the best version of themselves. In this episode, Ken and I discuss the difference between a “relationship” and a “partnership,” and what it means for a couple to shift from one to the other. We explore the importance of communicating needs and illustrate how a partnership can give us the freedom to have a life outside of it. We ponder on the story of a long-term couple, why they choose to stay unmarried, and how a partnership is created moment to moment. We also elaborate on how fear hinders us from standing up for our own truths and highlight how we can reconnect to our sincerest needs. “A partnership is where we're committed to being the best version of ourselves. And to be the best version of ourselves, we need to let our partners know what our needs are.” - Ken Bechtel This week on Shift-Starters: The relationship experience that made Ken interested in the idea of partnership The importance of expressing our needs How Ken worked on his healing after his separation from his former fiance How fear prevents us from expressing our needs in a relationship The worst reply to an expression of need The spatial quality of relationships and how it's different from a partnership Why “partnership” means having a life outside of your relationship Trusting the validity of our needs Self-trust, self-love, and the need to have compassion when we make ‘wrong' decisions Connecting and trusting intuition and bodily wisdom What it means to have true confidence The power of the now The story of an unmarried couple and how a partnership is created moment to moment Selfishness and expanding our definition of what it means to do things that are good for us Getting to know and reconnecting with your needs Cultivating safe containers to encourage transformation Connect with Ken Bechtel: Ken Bechtel Website Speaking of Partnership Podcast Speaking of Partnership on Facebook Speaking of Partnership on Twitter Ken Bechtel on LinkedIn Ken Bechtel on Instagram Ken Bechtel on Facebook Let's Start Some Shift!

Have you ever felt like the universe was trying to tell you something? Or maybe you've noticed your inner critic rearing its ugly head again, despite all of the hard work you've devoted to personal growth and overcoming mindset blocks. There's an expectation that when we make a change in how we think, feel, and behave that we have moved past it and it never comes back. But that's not the case - at all. The thing about shifting is not to get rid of the things we don't like about ourselves - our inner critic, our dark sides, or our weaknesses. After all - extinguishing those would actually be taking away what makes us human. So how do we shift the way we relate to shifting? Today, I discuss why we need to shift the way we relate to shifting. I explain how many people perceive shifting as a way of eliminating negative thoughts, feelings, or weaknesses. I explain why it's not about becoming more perfect, but about how we relate to our human imperfections. I also explain how you can embrace your flaws, inner critic, and imperfections while continuing to move forward - even when it feels like you've taken a step back. “Shifting is not to become more perfect or less ‘human'. It's about how we relate to all of those parts of us that we don't like.” - Erin Baker This week on Shift-Starters: Common misconceptions and expectations we have about mindset shifts Embracing our flaws and imperfections What ‘shifting' really means and the role of self-compassion Understanding that your thoughts are just thoughts How to embrace your imperfections while continuing to move forward Resources Mentioned: Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life by Shelley Paxton Let's Start Some Shift!

Wake up, look at the scale, go to work, eat a greasy hamburger at lunch. Even though you know you shouldn't grind out a job that you don't like to go to. Mindlessly, scroll through profiles on dating apps. Go to sleep. Rinse and repeat. This was a regular day in Mahrukh's life until she decided enough was enough. She knew she was wasting her one life and potential and knew there was a more fulfilling way to live waiting to be discovered. So fast forward five years, and Mahrukh plays cricket for the Canadian women's team, and is building a side hustle as a content creator on TikTok. All of this is because of sharing her shifts to help others be the best version of themselves. In this episode, Mahrukh and I have a conversation about the constant challenge of growing in your life. We discuss the importance of serving yourself first and letting go of the things holding us back. We talk about the importance of focusing on experimentation instead of focusing on the outcome when trying new practices. Mahrukh also shares some ways she helps keep track of her goals and making sure that she is still enjoying the work. “I don't have to have my sh*t together. But if I keep taking action, I'm way ahead of where I was five years ago.” – Mahrukh Imtiaz This week on Shift-Starters: How Mahrukh and Erin met at a conference Accepting the importance of taking action regardless of “having everything together” Recognizing when we get in the way of accomplishing our dreams The power of masterminds and not “going it alone” Why experimentation is important in learning and having fun How Mahrukh was able to focus on the process instead of the outcome Understanding that your business is about you first Giving up on the dumb sh*t in our lives that hold us back How writing down your “why” can help you accomplish your goals What shifts Mahrukh is helping create in the world Why we need mentors and community in our lives Mentioned Resources: Mahrukh Imtiaz on Life in the And Podcast Book: I Will Teach You To Be Rich, by Ramit Sethi Brene Brown Podcasts Matthew Hussey Connect with Mahrukh Imtiaz: Website The Spicy Chai Podcast Mahrukh on Instagram Mahrukh on TikTok Mahrukh on Facebook Mahrukh on LinkedIn Let's Start Some Shift!

What does it mean to be committed and unattached to achieving our goals? Is it even possible, or is it an unattainable oxymoron? I believe that being committed towards goals AND being unattached to if, when, and how they get achieved is where the most exciting things happen. But most of us are committed and ATTACHED. And that creates tunnel vision at best, stress and misery at worst. In today's episode, I talk about shifting our big audacious goals from being something we must achieve into something that inspires creativity in us. I explain what it means to be committed and unattached to your goals and how unattached does not mean detached. I discuss why we shouldn't attach ourselves to results and when failure can be exciting. I also share a framework for assessing your level of commitment and attachment to your goals, and several questions you can ask yourself to lower your attachment. “The most boring thing we can do is set out for a goal and get there. And yet so many of us get really attached to that being the outcome.” – Erin M Baker This week on Shift-Starters: The power of my favorite word, “and” What it means to be committed and unattached The exciting parts of failure and what meanings we make of it Moonshot goals and what we expect from achieving those goals How attaching yourself to achieving goals can prevent you from pursuing other things Learning to enjoy the process instead of getting the results The difference between being “unattached” and “detached” How you can assess your level of commitment and attachment to your goals The questions you can ask yourself to help you become more unattached to your goals Let's Start Some Shift!

Are you thinking about your long game? It's easy to get stuck thinking that the problem directly in front of you is all you need to focus on. Instead of worrying about the immediate wins and losses, shift your focus on collecting wins over time. Playing the long-term game can help you feel liberated without the pressure to succeed and make you more comfortable with taking risks. In this episode, I explain the concept of long-term and infinite games. I provide examples of different kinds of long-term games from my mentors, friends, and my own life. I talk about how infinite games can help take off the pressure of starting a business and trying to grow. I also ask you some questions to help figure out what infinite games you need to work on. “My compass is my long game. My map is right now, what I'm doing right now for this one set of destinations.” – Erin M Baker This week on Shift-Starters: Celebrating the monumental shift that is happened on Inauguration Day in the US Explaining the concept of infinite and finite games Examples of people playing longer-term games to accomplish their goals Breaking down your career path into 5-year sections How my business is a part of my long-term game to make a more equitable world Why long game planning is vital for starting a business How the long game helps us accomplish bigger goals Mentioned Resources: Heather Cox Richardson Book: Finite and Infinite Games, by James Carse Book: The Infinite Game, by Simon Sinek Rich Litvin 4PC Coaching Vicki Shillington Let's Start Some Shift!

Chris Colbert built and ran several domestic and international companies focused on innovation and business optimization. After guiding a bold revamp of Scholastic's core publishing business and its return to positive growth, he left in early 2014 to explore the world of higher education and innovations that might help improve its value. He eventually joined the Harvard Innovation Labs, where he ended up as the Managing Director until May 2019. Since then, he focused on speaking, writing, and consulting as a means of helping countries, companies, and individuals respond to the ever-accelerating pace of change by establishing more adaptive and competitive capacities and cultures that are centered on realizing their full human potential. In today's episode, Chris talks with me about what happens when we shift into being more intimate with ourselves. Chris shares some of the "acceptable" rock bottoms he experienced that forced him to realize he needed to change. We discuss how social media has created a validation complex within our society. Chris also talks about how he wants to run for president but is not interested in actually winning. “Knowing who you are allows us to know other people. Loving who you are allows us to love other people. Understanding your dark and light allows us to accept the dark and light of other people.” – Chris Colbert This week on Shift-Starters: How Chris ended up giving his “Technology is Dead” speech in front of 60,000 people Understanding why humans hate change and how this affects innovation The unintended consequences of innovation like social media Asking yourself to contemplate your behavior when you seek validation Chris's one regret in his life The acceptable rock bottoms Chris experienced to realize he needed to make a shift Our capacity to choose courage over fear How self-love actually helps draw people closer to you What you can do to work on loving yourself more How fear leads us to seek out validation Why Chris wants to run, but not actually be president Mentioned Resources: The 5 Regrets of Dying People Connect with Chris Colbert: Website Technology is Dead Speech Book: This Is It, by Chris Colbert Podcast: Insert:Human Connect with Chris on Instagram Connect with Chris on LinkedIn Connect with Chris on Twitter Let's Start Some Shift!

Quite often, we feel that we need everything figured out before we can even act. If we do act on our goals, we sometimes finish thinking about what went wrong, and why we didn't try something else. People assume that if we keep learning and keep researching, we will feel competent enough to take action. The only problem is that we keep thinking about this backward. In today's episode, I discuss how taking action is the fastest way to grow confidence. I talk about what happens when we focus on learning everything before we act. I share advice that I received about how action helps us find our message. I also talk about how action helps creativity. “Action creates. It's not the other way around. We cannot think our way- we cannot get ready to get ready into our mastery.” – Erin M Baker This week on Shift-Starters: Recognizing the cycle of getting ready to get ready How we think competence creates action, and why we have it backward Why you won't know your message right away, and how you will find it The importance of creativity in helping generate more ideas What creates action and the commitment you need Having emotional resilience to overcome the fear of just beginning Let's Start Some Shift!

Ateeb Khan was born in Karachi, did some undergrad in Montreal, and spent some time in Toronto. He has worked as a CPA for Coca Cola and manages multiple side hustles. Currently, Ateeb is traveling through Canada and developing his own personal brand through TikTok by creating adventure- and personal development-based content. In today's episode, I talk with Ateeb Khan about how we can shift when we create content for ourselves. Ateeb explains how he is playing the content creation game and why TikTok is such a powerful platform to connect with people. He talks about how he started creating for his "Adventure and Growth" niche without a lot of experience and where that has led him. He also discusses why your values are a great compass to guide you on your mission. “You don't know what you're really good at and what you're passionate about until you actually try these different things.” – Ateeb Khan This week on Shift-Starters: What spurred Ateeb to travel across Canada during a pandemic The mindset shifts that inspired Ateeb to accomplish his list of dreams How creative journeys can help you learn where you need to go What it means to be committed without being attached Why Ateeb is using TikTok to create content and connect with his audience Ateeb's creation of the “Adventure and Growth” niche What happens when you create content for yourself instead of creating it for others Ateeb's aspirations with using TikTok and developing a personal brand The importance of just taking the first steps and learning along the way The magic of watching your mission unfold in front of you Using your values as a compass to guide you on your mission Ateeb's one mindset shift you need to make Mentioned Resources: Book: The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, by Stephen Covey Connect with Ateeb Khan: Connect with Ateeb Khan on Instagram Connect with Ateeb Khan on TikTok Let's Start Some Shift!

Shelley Paxton spent 26 years as a highly regarded marketing and advertising executive stewarding some of the world's most iconic brands like Harley-Davidson, Visa, McDonald's, and AOL. In 2016 she walked away from the corporate world to nurture her soul and discover her purpose. She christened herself Chief Soul Officer and called the journey her Soulbbatical. It did more than change her life, it became her calling. She is also the author of the book, “Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life” and hosts the weekly Podcast “Rebel Souls.” In this episode, Shelley and I have a conversation about how we can shift to make a larger impact in the world. We discuss how our impact can carry beyond our line of sight and why we should assume we have a positive impact. Shelley opens up about the difficulties and insecurities she deals with in shifting to align more with her life mission. Shelley also explains what it means to "Rebel for" something and how it differs from rebelling against it. “If I'm really serious about my mission and you're really serious about your mission, we've got to keep growing and we are going to be challenged every step of the way.” – Shelly Paxton This week on Shift-Starters: Celebrating Shelley's Book landing on the Forbes Top 21 Books to Read The process and challenges of writing a book What Shelley's mission in life is and how she measures her success with it Why we need to assume the positive impact we make in the world What it means to “Rebel For” and how it can be empowering The difference between rebelling against and rebelling for The importance of taking time to reflect on what is missing from your life What shifts Shelley has made to be more in align with her mission Why it's important to continue facing fear by just showing up How negative feedback can be a sign of success What Shelley learned from writing a book and how it is helping her shift forward Mentioned Resources: Forbes Top 21 Books to Read in 2021 Book: Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life Book: The Surrender Experiment, by Michael Singer Book: Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself, by Michael Singer Podcast: Unlocking Us with Brene Brown Podcast, Brene on FFTs Connect with Shelley Paxton: Shelley's Website Rebel Souls Podcast Connect with Shelley on Instagram Connect with Shelley on Twitter Connect with Shelley on Facebook Connect with Shelley on LinkedIn Let's Start Some Shift!

So many people want to leave their corporate jobs and do something completely new. Unfortunately, they are often so scared of failing that they never make the necessary shift. We always want to be a master without putting in the time and effort. However, being a beginner gives us more opportunities to learn and explore in ways that a master is afraid to try. It's time to ignore the fear of making mistakes and shift into being a beginner again. In this episode, I talk about the perks of being a beginner. I talk about why we dislike being a beginner at something, and why being a master can be more limiting to your growth. I explain some of the positive effects learning a new skill has on your health. I also provide practices that you can use to figure out how to bring a beginner mindset to your life. “I think we also avoid being a beginner because we see so often that starting something new is equivalent to starting over. We forget that everywhere we go we bring the accumulation of all of our life experiences.” – Erin M Baker This week on Shift-Starters: How our inner critic conditions us to hate learning new things Why we are never absolute beginners because of our past experiences The dark side of mastery and the inability to forgive ourselves The potential to be more innovative as a beginner than a master My experience taking risks as a coach at the start of my journey How learning new things helps promote better brain health Creating a list of what would be fun to be “bad” at Where you can bring in a beginner mindset with your work Mentioned Resources: Book: Rookie Smarts, by Liz Wiseman Podcast: Unlocking Us with Brene Brown and David Eagleman Let's Start Some Shift!

What are you afraid of? There are some obvious answers like snakes, heights, replying all with a snarky response to the boss. Fear manifests itself in many ways through your life. Right now I'm afraid of being a bad dad to my new baby girl. It terrifies me to think that something I do could make her unhappy or change her life for the worse. While fear can be something that holds us back, it's also an emotion that is designed to teach us. We all have fear and it's not always a negative. Sometimes fear can protect us from doing something stupid. Author and illustrator Amalia Andrade tackles fear and anxiety with her latest book, 'Things You Think About When You Bite Your Nails: A Fear and Anxiety Workbook." The book itself is filled with illustrations, checklists, humor and great advice. I had a chance to catch up with Amalia all the way from her home in the country of Columbia. It was great to finally meet her after enjoying her work for so many years. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

The end of the year is nigh, and 2020 has been one of the most stressful in recent memory. Jesse offers some advice for those dealing with fear and anxiety during these times. During times of fear and uncertainty, Jesse draws on Stephen R. Covey's seminal book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The first habit is to be proactive and take responsibility for your reactions to events. To that end, Covey asks readers to consider their circle of influence -- What do you control? Where do you not have control? Drawing a very clear picture of your circle of influence, and defining what you don't control, can help with realizing what things you ought to be fear and what things are outside your influence, and thus should be outside your concern (or at least unworthy of spending mental bandwidth on). When people start budgeting, they often can't control what they make, but they can control some of things they spend on. So focusing on spending, giving their money a job, and following the four steps brings their attention to concrete, actionable things within their circle of influence. Secondly, Jesse recommends learning more about the things you are fearful of. What information could you gather about a topic that would help you better understand it? If you are fearful about money, how about understanding how much you have in your checking account right now? Then take another step. What does that money need to do between now and the next time you get paid? Gathering data points and information about the things causing you fear and anxiety can help make them seem more manageable. Sign up for a free 34-day trial of YNAB at www.youneedabudget.com

This week, there's no guest. Just me. This is the first time I've done this on the podcast y'all. It feels vulnerable, but I woke up yesterday with this overwhelming sense that I wanted to share with you the greatest tool I have to tackle anxiety. Do you ever get those nudges from deep down. It's like God is tapping you on the shoulder and nudging you forward, and you can't ignore it? Ya...that was me this week. I knew that I knew that I knew that I had to share with you about overcoming fear and anxiety as soon as possible. ...All I can remember is this feeling of hot, burning tears squeezing out of my eyelids, and my cheek pressed to the cold tile of the bathroom floor. It was my first anxiety attack. I was in the middle of photographing a wedding when it hit me like a bus. Luckily I had an assistant photographer there to take over while I ran out of the reception. God, what is going on with my body? I felt so scared. I felt out of control. It was that fight or flight response, but the thing is that I was not in a fight or flight situation. The cortisol rushed through my body and my body didn't know how to handle it. I shut down. You see our bodies are designed to heal us. That fight or flight response is activated when our mind signals to our bodies there's an emergency...call in the troops...sound the alarms. It's the thing in us that jolts our body if we cross the street and almost get hit by a car and last minute jump out of the way. But sometimes our fight or flight activates when we're not in a life or death situation. You see our bodies respond to our minds, and our minds respond to our thoughts. There are a million ways to ease the symptoms of anxiety, but what is it that is causing these attacks? We have to dig deeper. At that time, I would have told you that I believed God had a plan for me. But deep down? My core thought life believed: If it was meant to me it was up to me. Other people won't take care of me, I have to take care of myself. God probably wasn't really listening to me. And if those things are true, then ya...a semi-stressful situation becomes overwhelming fast. What are the limiting beliefs, fears, and lies...the thoughts maybe you're even afraid to admit you have that are sparking fear and anxiety within you? Here's the thing, there's hope because: Light always overcomes darkness. And truth defeats fear. ALWAYS. So pause. Take a deep breath in and out. Can you identify the fear? Can you replace it with something that is true? As you sit, take a moment to do this. Breathe in and breathe out longer. When we have longer exhales than inhales it physically communicates to our minds that we are safe. It's a pretty wild thing. Once again, our bodies designed to heal. One of the tools I turn to often when fear comes knocking is literally OUT LOUD speaking truth to myself. When I need truth spoken over to me, I turn to a poem written by Danielle Bennett. I can't even begin to tell you how much this woman and her words have brought life to my weary soul in my moments of need. “She has seen a succulent survive enough times to know that she is much stronger than she thinks.” Tune in to the episode to hear the full poem. Find what resonates with you. Share with me over at @therefinedcollective on Instagram. You are not alone on this journey. This episode is brought to you by the guide I made on moving through fear.

In the inaugural episode of Business Hustle, we talk about the fear of failure, perfection and self awareness.
Hi Friend, Welcome to Episode 34 of Sally’s Performing Arts Lab Podcast. Today, my husband, George, my daughter, Emile, and I discuss fear of failure and Impostor Syndrome. I’m your podcast host, Sally Adams. Every week I talk to people about creating original work for a live audience. Send an email anytime to Sally@sallypal.com. Your ideas keep great conversations coming every Monday evening. Check out sallypal.com/join for the free 20-page theatre resource. Creator’s Notebook Insert #2 on scheduling will soon be available. In the meantime, you can listen to Episode 31 if you want an in-depth convo about scheduling for your production. It’s never too late to sign up to have access to the Creator’s Notebook inserts. I’m interested in knowing what creators need as a performing arts resource. Do you need more information about venues? Do you want to know how to put butts in seats on the cheap? Would you like to connect with other creators? Do you need more practical tips? If there are things you want included in the Creator’s Notebook, let me know by sending an email to sally@sallypal.com! I read them all… challenge me. Be sure and listen until the end of the interview for Concise Advice from the Interview, and Words of Wisdom from George. Fear of failure can be barely noticeable or paralyzing. For artists in the world of performance, the fear of failing can overpower the drive to perform. Some great ideas and performances languish in hiding because an artist can’t seem to get their work on the stage. The artist who succeeds in getting the work in front of an audience may struggle with another roadblock to full expression: Impostor Syndrome. Impostor Syndrome is defined as, “a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success.” The term Impostor Syndrome was coined in 1978 by clinical psychologists Pauline R. Clance and Suzanne A. Imes. According to a study out of Georgia State University, a third of successful adults believe that they don’t deserve to be where they are. Feelings of success are often overshadowed by the feeling that you are a fraud and anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know enough to recognize your incompetence. A few weeks ago, I asked performing artists to share what they saw as roadblocks to mounting a successful production of original work. I expected to see things like, “finding a venue,” “funding a show” and “putting butts in seats.” While these received honorable mentions, the overriding responses were, “fear of failure” and “Impostor Syndrome”. I distinguish between these two although they have a lot in common. Fear of failure usually keeps you from acting. While Impostor Syndrome means you took an action but you can’t believe your success is anything more than accidental. I’m currently reading a book given to me by my daughter Emile’s fiancé, Beckett. The book is titled The Art of Possibility. Written by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander, it exposes the assumptions on which fear of failure and Impostor Syndrome are based. As a longtime drama teacher I was never a big fan of arts competitions. I love arts festivals, performances, and sharing programs. But competitions where the work of one group of artists is measured against the work of another group of artists to determine which group is “the best” strikes me as sending the wrong message. It’s a version of sports competition based on opinions rather than objective measurements. Many of us believe competitions are a necessary evil to inspire student artists to push their work to a higher level. But the arts competition model is flawed and the Zanders explain why: “All the manifestations of the world of measurement – the winning and losing, the gaining of acceptance and the threatened rejection, the raised hopes and the dash into despair – are all based on a single assumption that is hidden from our awareness. The assumption is that life is about staying alive and making it through – surviving in a world of scarcity and peril.” This is where the book begins. The world we live in every day does not position anyone to reach their potential. For most of us, the opposite occurs. The book, The Art of Possibility, goes into detail describing ways to break free from the competition construct. One quote stood out for me. It’s a quote from Agnes DeMille’s book, Martha: The Life and Work of Martha Graham. In it, DeMille quotes Graham as saying, “There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.” This conversation is touched on from time to time in other interviews I’ve recorded. Pat Hobbs in Episode 32 talks about imperfect perfection. He says that giving yourself freedom to make mistakes can take your performance to a whole new level. Vanessa Adams, in Episode 28 knows that being vulnerable as an artist has risks and can feel dangerous. But that authenticity can help audience members connect both to the work and to each other. Emile Adams, in Episode 31, revealed that she doesn’t attend rehearsals of her own works to avoid what she calls “backseat directing” and trying to control the expression of the work. During the conversation I mentioned the off-Broadway production of Peter and the Starcatcherzzzz. The actual title is, Peter and the Starcatcher. It’s singular… there’s only one Starcatcher. The show is now closed but it was amazing. We also mentioned the amazing Hamilton by Lin Manuael-please-be-on-my-podcast-Miranda. None of us thinks Hamilton is garbage. In fact, Emile and I have been a bit obsessed with the show. But even Miranda admits the early days of creating the show had challenges. And just as I have no evidence of crappy versions of Hamilton, I have no proof that Eric Clapton didn’t start out as a guitar god at age twelve. It’s just that teaching middle school students for over a decade, I can guess that he didn’t start out playing Layla or Tears in Heaven the way he does now. When it comes to creating art for an audience, we all must start somewhere or we don’t start. Today, my husband George, my daughter, Emile, and I explored fear of failure and Impostor Syndrome. Concise Advice from the Interview is a short version of tips on dealing with fear of failure and Impostor Syndrome. Here are 9 important bits of advice. 9) You can do this - Don’t be afraid to give it a try 8) Learn to motivate your self 7) There’s nothing about “downward spiral” thinking that’s useful. 6) You can write garbage or you can write nothing. Writing garbage means you’re still writing 5) Bragging and Sharing Your Work are not the same thing 4) To get to the place where you can create an amazing thing, you MUST create some garbage along the way 3) You won’t learn if you can’t fail 2) Let go of being technically perfect and your work will connect with an audience 1) When someone compliments your work… Just say, “Thank you” Check out the blog, SallyPAL.com, for articles and podcast episodes. You can be part of the momentum that’s building. Keep an eye out for social media opportunities to share with the SallyPAL community. I want this podcast to give you tools to defeat your fears and share your unique artistic expressions. “If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost.” The show notes include links to some of the things talked about today.

Ray and Dr. Conte respond to this week's tragic school shooting in Florida. Dr. Conte talks about how people respond to fear with anger, so when we can snap out of anger we can get out of a place of fear. The guys talk about how things won't get better until adults start to ask like adults. People have to put their immediate needs aside for the greater good. It's time for each of us to be the peace.

What changes can you make in your life today that will enable you to live immediately? That is really the essence of the episode this week. My guest today is Ricki Coleman, a man, who at his heaviest, weighted 130 kilograms. Ricki lost his father at a young age, he turned to excessive eating and alcohol to numb the feeling, to the point where his weight had paralysed him from living the life he truly wanted to live. But Ricki’s story is so much more than lost kilograms. It is about taking control of your life, making the decision to change and allowing that change to slowly happen. Ricki talks about the importance of a support network, getting back on the pushbike to clear his head, and learning patience. The change we need to make can often be simple, but that doesn’t make it easy. Every change will come with its own challenges, it will push us and make us question if we really want the change to take place, even if we know we will benefit from the outcome of the change. We might not all have 45 kilograms to lose, but I am sure we all have self-limiting beliefs or fears that are holding us back just as much. What change will you make today? I hope you enjoy x www.liveimmediately.com

Fear is something most people face on a regular basis. King David found the answer in praising and seeking the Lord for help and in Psalm 34 he sets out a blueprint for dealing with fear. The same God who delivered David will deliver you if you will seek Him! Jean-Louis opens the word.
