#294: Vitamin E: How To Cultivate Equanimity Amidst Political Chaos | Election Sanity Series | Roshi Joan Halifax It’s part four in our Election Sanity series. Throughout October, we have been trying to help you stay engaged in current events without losing your mind. As you know, we’ve been drawing on an ancient Buddhist list called The Four Brahma Viharas, which are four mental skills that can be enormously useful. Over the last three episodes, we’ve taken deep dives into loving-kindness (or friendliness), compassion (or giving a crap), and sympathetic joy (the opposite of schadenfreude). This week, it’s equanimity, the secret sauce that allows you to apply to aforementioned skills in difficult times. Our guest this week is perfect for this subject, precisely because she freely admits that equanimity -- which she calls “vitamin E” -- doesn’t come easily for her. Roshi Joan Halifax is a Buddhist teacher, Zen priest, anthropologist, and pioneer in the field of end-of-life care. She’s been passionately politically engaged for much of her life-- and, as you will hear, she doesn’t hold back on her own personal views, even as she calls for extending respect to people with whom we disagree. Wherever you stand politically, this interview is filled with practical advice for cultivating equanimity without going dull. Quick reminder before we dive in: our Free Election Sanity meditation challenge starts in the Ten Percent Happier app TOMORROW, you can join the challenge right now by downloading the Ten Percent Happier app and be ready for day 1 of the challenge tomorrow. We're really excited about this Challenge. We designed it specifically to meet you in this moment and help you lean into the commotion of the election, without getting burnt out or overwhelmed.

Throughout October, 1Xtra Talks is exploring black identity. There are a number of health issues, conditions and experiences which are affecting the black community more than any other demographic. Reece Parkinson and a range of guests discuss why this is and the impact it’s having. The UK Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths has found that black women are five times more likely to die in childbirth than white women. Black babies are 50% more likely to die in the first 28 days of birth than a baby from any other race. Candice Brathwaite is a blogger and the founder of Make Motherhood Diverse - a platform encouraging a more representative and accurate depiction of motherhood in the media. Agnes Mtunga is also a blogger and founder of the GloMama Awards - which celebrates and recognises motherhood online and in the media. In general, people from black and minority ethnic groups living in the UK are more likely to be diagnosed with mental health problems and more likely to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Black men are ten times more likely to develop a psychotic disorder. Dr Samara Linton is a junior doctor and editor of The Colour of Madness - a new book exploring mental health in the BAME community. Eche Egbuonu is a mental health advocate. In 2015 Eche was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Sickle Cell disease is an inherited health condition that affects the red blood cells. Sickle Cell is a serious and lifelong health condition. Black people are far more likely to be diagnosed with Sickle Cell than any other demographic. In 90% of British patients, the individual was someone of African heritage. Chris Abdullahi and Esther Gbogboade tell us how Sickle Cell has impacted their lives.
Throughout October, we remember all the babies in heaven who didn't have a chance to grow old in this world. It is a month of reflection and sadness as parents reminisce on what could have been, but also hope that we can overcome the tragedy. In honor of our lost little loves, this week we bring you an interview with Kaci McGuire from Queen Bee Fertility. This interview first aired on The BumpCast podcast in October 2018 but everything in it is still relevant to the tragedy of infant loss, miscarriage and infertility today. During this special episode of the podcast, we discuss the importance of preparing holistically for pregnancy to give your body and your pregnancy the best chance for success, pregnancy loss, as well as postpartum care and the importance of surrounding yourself with a support system in all stages of motherhood, loss, and life. More than anything, it's really important to give yourself grace. Too often, we mamas put so much blame on ourselves and many times, there’s not much we could have done to prevent the tragedy. Please visit Kaci's website: www.queenbeefertility.com If you're going through a loss and would like the list of resources Kaci mentions in the interview, please email her at: hello@queenbeefertility.com You can also connect with Kaci and Queen Bee Fertility on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/queenbeefertility/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/queenbfertility
Throughout October, 1Xtra Talks is exploring black identity. And to kick off Blacktober, we look at what it means to be black. Can it ever really be defined? How damaging are phrases like "you act white" or "you talk black"? Can your music taste, the food you eat, or your dialect have an impact on "how black" you are? Chi Chi Amuzu-Monlaw is a Birmingham University student, who is conscious of how she is received in different spaces and often results to conforming. Rakeem Omar is a journalist and radio presenter on BBC West Midlands who thinks being black is by definition a result of our race and heritage. Aliyah Hasinah is a poet and public speaker. Her work often touches on social issues and the experiences of black people worldwide.

Throughout October on Eco Chat we chatted about sustainability and our kids…. How to foster eco-conscious children, how and why we need to get our kids playing outside more, how to nurture a love of science in our children…. And even how to be a happier mama. Today I’m joined by Belinda Smith of The Root Cause to hear how we all can instil healthy eating habits in our children. Bel Smith is a health and wellness coach and a mum on a mission to transform children’s health, one lunchbox at a time. The long-term health prospects of Australian children are a real concern. 27.4% of our children in Australian between 5 & 17 are now overweight or obese. Of these children, 80% will go onto become overweight or obese adults. This stat alone is not the only concern. Chronic illness is now on the increase. Diabetes type 2, once an adult onset illness, is now occurring in our children, and Australia has one of the highest allergy rates in the world. Together with her husband and 2 children, Bel travels Australia in their big green bus Kaley, running fun and interactive workshops for children and parents about making better food choices.
Throughout October on Eco Chat we’ve been talking about how we can foster a love, respect, and curiosity of the natural world in our children, and today we’re going to take it one step further. I’m joined by Sarah Rouche of Red Cat Science to hear how we, as parents and educators, can best ignite a love of science in children. In this episode we’ll cover: Why it’s important to foster a love and capability of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) in our kids; What are the biggest barriers to getting kids to continue learning, and choosing subjects in this area; Some simple steps we can take to engage our kids in maths and sciences. What has this got to do with sustainability you ask? Well as environmental issues of the world become more and more complex, we’ll need more smart and savvy scientists to solve them and to come up with the solutions. Our kids might be within this next generation of scientists and engineers!!! But it’s not just in sustainability, current studies have shown that at least 75% of future jobs will require science, technology, engineering, and maths skills, yet only 17% of university students are studying these subjects. It’s time to close the gap and Sarah has some great tips to help us get started in this area so we can best nurture the budding scientist within our kids…. Let’s dive in!
