Naomi Shihab Nye opens the talk reading a new, recently penned poem, Current Affairs. Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish then introduces himself and segways into the realities of his experiences growing up in Gaza, the Jabalia Camp, what he has seen and witnessed, the loss of his three daugthers and niece in 2009 from an Israeli tank shell (i.e., I Shall Not Hate) and his pride in his Palestinan heritage, family, and community. He shares his deep belief and conviction 'nothing is impossible in life.' He also expresses: Medicine as a great human equalizer Toward human rights, once people step away from the border of the hospitals, they become categorized and labeled 'Palestinian' or 'Israeli' If you believe in Humanity, we must all stand for all Human Rights is deeply tested in Gaza, people must stand up for human rights Advocate not for peace but for dignity, justice, freedom, and human rights for all: peace will follow when these conditions are cultivated Naomi shares her family history and the experiences of relocating after the Nakba. Naomi also shares: As a poet, every voice is important in the world, every voice represents humanity. Regarding Gaza, this is an overwhelming tragedy of sorrow The importance of actions based on one's convictions The power of the military industry complex to overide the voice of the majority and humanity's collective voice How can we be heard, how can we be listened to? Who is listening? The idea, our obligation is to our humanity, looking within our selves we recognize our humanity Dr Abuelaish shares his experiences as an author. The priority of Palestinians toward education. Human Rights, respect and dignity for all. What is our modern sense of responsibility and obligation toward our fellow humans, what is our modern sense of meaning, mission, and purpose. A human being is a human being [only] through another person. Truth telling as means of healing. The situation is Gaza and West Bank harms Israel deeply as well. Naomi shares Hibu Abu Nabab's poem, Not Just Passing. The political power and politics contrbuting to the crisis in Gaza and the West Bank. Dr. Abuelaish reviews the history of Gaza since 2000. And, Naomi closes with her poem, For Gaza The children are still singing They need & want to sing They are carrying cats to safe places Holding what they can hold Red hair brown hair yellow They will wear the sweater Someone threw away They will hope for something tasty You won't be able to own them Their spirits fly to safer worlds They planted seashells in the sand They never committed a crime A president pardons turkeys He pardons his own son He doesn't pardon children The children are still singing. Naomi Shihab Nye was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Her father was a Palestinian refugee and her mother an American of German and Swiss descent, and Nye spent her adolescence in both Jerusalem and San Antonio, Texas. She earned her BA from Trinity University in San Antonio. Nye is the recipient of numerous honors and awards for her work, including the Ivan Sandrof Award for Lifetime Achievement from the National Book Critics Circle, the Lavan Award, the Paterson Poetry Prize, the Carity Randall Prize, the Isabella Gardner Poetry Award, the Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry award, the Robert Creeley Prize, and many Pushcart Prizes. She has received fellowships from the Lannan Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, and she was a Witter Bynner Fellow. From 2010 to 2015 she served as a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. In 2018 she was awarded the Lon Tinkle Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Texas Institute of Letters. Nye was the Poetry Foundation's Young People's Poet Laureate from 2019-2022. Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, MD, MPH, is a Palestinian medical doctor who was born and raised in Jabalia Refugee Camp in the Gaza Strip. He is a passionate and eloquent proponent of peace between Palestinians and Israelis and has dedicated his life to using health as a vehicle for peace. He has succeeded despite all odds through a great determination of spirit, a strong faith, and a stalwart belief in hope and family. He has received a number of awards and nominations in recognition of his promotion of peace through health, and has been given seven honorary degrees. He has been nominated three years consecutively for the Nobel Peace Prize, and support for his candidacy keeps growing exponentially every year. He is the recipient of the Stavros Niarchos Prize for Survivorship, and was also nominated for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. Since 2010 Dr. Abuelaish has also been named one of the 500 Most Influential Muslims by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre in Amman, Jordan for three consecutive years, and was the first ever recipient of the Mahatma Gandhi Peace Prize. Dr. Abuelaish's book, I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey, an autobiography inspired by the loss of his three daughters Bessan, Mayar, and Aya and his niece Noor to Israeli shelling on January 16, 2009, has achieved critical acclaim. Published in 2010, it has become an international best-seller and has been translated into 23 languages. The book has become a testament to his commitment to forgiveness as the solution to conflict, and the catalyst towards peace. Naomi Shihab Nye's poem Current Affairs I don't want to be one of those modern people who reads about Gazans being crushed wholesale entire blocks extended families invisible kitchens then continues scrolling. We will not delete you. We would give you anything we have. Your pain is not money. Feel us from a far place. Howling in darkness. What are you supposed to? No one should have to bear.

Steven Mills has reached a crossroads. His wife and son have left, and they may not return. Which leaves him determined to find out what happened to his own father, a brilliant, charismatic professor who disappeared in 1984 when Steve was twelve, on a wave of ignominy.As Steve drives up the coast of California, seeking out his father's friends, family members, and former colleagues, the novel offers us tantalizing glimpses into Steve's childhood—his parents' legendary pool parties, the black-and-white films on the backyard projector, secrets shared with his closest friend. Each conversation in the present reveals another layer of his father's past, another insight into his disappearance. Yet with every revelation, his father becomes more difficult to recognize. And, with every insight, Steve must confront truths about his own life.Rich in atmosphere, and with a stunningly sure-footed emotional compass, The Imagined Life: A Novel (Knopf, 2025) is a probing, nostalgic novel about the impossibility of understanding one's parents, about first loves and failures, about lost innocence, about the unbreakable bonds between a father and a son. Andrew Porter is the author of the short story collections The Disappeared and The Theory of Light and Matter and a previous novel, In Between Days. A graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, he has received a Pushcart Prize, a James Michener/Copernicus Fellowship, and the Flannery O'Connor Award for short fiction. His work has appeared in One Story, Ploughshares, American Short Fiction, Narrative, and elsewhere.

Wilgus highlights the need for churches to involve older teenagers in mentoring and to support families with technology and discipline. He advises grandparents to communicate respectfully and not side with grandchildren against parents. They also stress the importance of understanding and engaging with younger generations' beliefs, rather than imposing one's own views. The conversation underscores the role of the church in guiding multi-generational interactions.Grandchildren play a huge role in our lives as grandparents. Dr. Wilgus will help usunderstand the extent with which we can impact and encourage our grandchildren as they age. These truths can be impactful in the developing multigenerational relationship in the church as well.-------Dr. Wilgus has been a practicing psychologist for over thirty years.

Send us a textAs we age, living with and influencing our adult children is a huge theme in life. In this podcast, listen to Hal as he interviews well-known psychologist, Dr. Ken Wilgus about life with adult children. Ken has written an exceptional book entitled, Feeding the Mouth That Bites You, and while Ken's book focuses on the adolescent years, the principles he shares are timeless and critically important in the years we share with our adult children.Dr. Hal Habecker and Ken Wilgus discuss the challenges of parenting adult children and the concept of planned emancipation. Ken emphasizes the cultural shift in how children transition to adulthood, noting the lack of a universally agreed-upon method. He highlights the importance of signaling to children that they are seen as adults and respecting their choices. They also touch on the impact of cultural changes, such as expressive individualism, on identity and the isolation it creates. Dr. Habecker stresses the need for Christians to live strong adult lives and encourage their children spiritually, using personal stories and experiences rather than lectures.-----Dr. Wilgus has been a practicing psychologist for over thirty years.

Send us a textDr. Luis Martinez is back to speak with us about his journey. As a senior venture associate at Capital Factory, a venture capital firm, his love of science began by noticing what was missing–people doing science who looked like him. Luis was raised in an incredible town on the U.S.-Mexico border–El Paso, Tx. His introduction to science came from experiences at the local library and shows like Star Trek and Cosmos. As a high schooler, he was on the science team and had the opportunity to take a state exam for chemistry. But, rather than studying, he took the exam without any preparation. And somehow he passed; ranking first in the state! This, for him, set a path to pursue science in college. He attended Trinity College as a first generation college student and had the incredible opportunity to complete research as an undergraduate. As a junior, he declared himself as a chemistry major and was introduced to graduate school by a guidance counselor. The decision for Luis was easy–graduate school was free–it was a clear yes. As a graduate student at Harvard University, he remembers his involvement in a major scientific discovery that focused on developing organic molecules using efficient and sustainable methods. From this discovery, he also learned about patenting and scaling innovations; important lessons he would need for the future. At the end of his doctorate, Luis had to decide between a postdoctoral fellowship or joining a consulting firm. He chose the latter. After a few years, however, a family emergency brought him back to El Paso to join the university as a chemistry professor. Later on, he again moved to Trinity University as a professor of entrepreneurship and innovation to lead an undergraduate entrepreneurship program.

No new lectures on leadership, instead I'm sharing the amazing podcasts created by the students in my Leadership for Sport Professionals class. In this bonus episode of Season 5, I'm sharing "Shaping Champions" which was created and produced by Seth Jacobs and Joe Mehary. Here are their liner notes: Shaping Champions is a podcast formed by Seth Jacobs and Joe Mehary; the objective of the podcast is to interview sport industry leaders seeking insight about their perspectives on developing leadership skills. In Season 1 Episode 1, Seth and Joe look at the textbook "Leadership: Theory and Practice," to draw inspiration from the Leader Membership Exchange (LMX) and chapter 16, team leadership. More specifically, Seth and Joe, talk about the dyadic relationships and building trust between players and coaches, and how heterarchical (lateral) oriented teams can have advantages compared to hierarchical teams. In this episode, Seth and Joe are joined by Todd Wildman. Todd is a Trinity University alumni who is a multiple time national champion, competing numerous events, including multis. Todd graduated from Trinity with a double major in finance and accounting, receiving a masters degree in accounting from Trinity as well. Todd now owns a real estate company along with his wife, a fellow Trinity alumni. In his spare time, Todd raises his two boys, and coaches for the Trinity track and field team. Specifically coaching hurdlers and supplementing in other areas when needed. In the episode Todd discusses his time at Trinity, being a leader on the Track team, a student, a professional, and lastly, a coach. Todd puts an emphasis on the discipline that being a high performing athlete taught him, as well as, the organizational skills that being a student at a rigorous university taught him, and how these skills were a catalyst for a successful professional career. Being a coach, Todd tries to build relationships with his athletes to the point where it feels like a mutual respect between both parties. He also believes effective team leaders are those who are committed to the team and approach each day with a purpose, it is not about vocalness or popularity, it is simply about one's will to success for themselves and their teammates. We hope that our conversation with Todd will give you some useful insight on leadership within sports and the application of those same skills in the professional and academic environments. We really enjoyed our conversation and hope that you will as well. Music Credits: Getting Wild Instrumental by jonworthymusic

This spring I'm releasing bonus episodes of The Take Home. No new lectures on leadership, instead I'm sharing the amazing podcasts created by the students in my Leadership for Sport Professionals class. In this bonus episode of Season 5, I'm sharing "Leading on All Fronts" which was created and produced by Eric Liao and Kathryn Detweiler. Here are their liner notes: In the premiere and only episode of Leading on All Fronts, hosts Eric and Kathryn explore the critical themes of Inclusive Leadership and Team Leadership from chapters 12 and 16 of Peter G. Northouse's Leadership: Theory and Practice (9th Edition). They discuss key leadership strategies such as embracing responsibility, mastering clear and consistent communication, fostering a collective “bought-in” mentality, and exemplifying qualities that inspire others to follow. Their guest, Jeff Mueller, brings a wealth of experience and insight to the conversation. As a partner at Polen Capital and co-portfolio manager of the firm's Global Growth strategy, Mueller combines deep expertise in finance with a disciplined approach to leadership. He also serves as an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School, where he teaches Compounders in the renowned Value Investing Program. Mueller's path to leadership is both dynamic and inspiring. Over a decade of service in the U.S. Marine Corps, he flew more than 200 combat missions in F/A-18 aircraft, honing his skills in high-pressure, mission-critical environments. He later transitioned to finance, earning his M.B.A. with honors and distinction from Columbia Business School while being recognized as a Tillman Scholar. Before that, he graduated from Trinity University with a Bachelor of Arts in communication and business administration, captaining the men's tennis team, achieving All-American status, and contributing to a national championship victory. Today, he resides in Florida with his wife and two children. In this episode, Mueller reflects on the lessons learned throughout his career, emphasizing the importance of continuous growth and embracing the question, “What's next?” He also shares a powerful insight from his Marine Corps experience: the motto, “Mission first, Marines always.” This guiding principle underscores the need to prioritize team cohesion as the foundation for achieving a shared mission—wisdom that resonates far beyond military service. Through engaging dialogue and actionable insights, this episode provides a thoughtful exploration of leadership and its impact. It's a fitting way to both introduce and conclude Leading on All Fronts. Music Credits: ● Intro: "Epic" by BlackTrendMusic ● Outro: "Epic" by Lite Saturation

The co-authors of "Letters in Black and White" found common ground in their frustration with America's polarized racial discourse. Our conversation explored provocative ideas like "Blackness as oppression"—a concept that shook Wink's foundational beliefs about identity—and Jen's jarring return to an America where diversity training often stifled genuine dialogue.We challenged simplistic narratives of "privilege," examined the controversial topic of reparations (with Wink offering a compelling case for Black agency over victimhood), and questioned how society's racial scripts influence our thinking. Throughout our discussion, we highlighted the power of curiosity and personal storytelling to bridge seemingly insurmountable divides—inviting listeners to reconsider their own perspectives on race and identity in America.Winkfield Twyman and Jennifer Richmond are co-authors of Letters in Black and White: A New Correspondence on Race in America.A former law professor and current author, Winkfield (Wink) Franklin Twyman, Jr. is a southern writer from a small-town suburb outside of Richmond, Virginia. Wink lived on Twyman Road until the age of eight. Everyone on Twyman Road was a Twyman. A graduate of the University of Virginia and Harvard Law School, Wink has penned articles and essays in the South Carolina Law Review, the Virginia Tax Review, the National Black Law Journal, the St. Croix Review, the Pennsylvania Law Review, the Intellectual Conservative, The Civil War in Pennsylvania: The African American Experience, the Richmond Times Dispatch, the Chicago Tribune, and the New York Post.

In the second episode of season 5, Andrea dives into how Sophie's Evangelical Christian beliefs colored her worldview. From claiming that adopting a child from Zambia was God's path for her life to allegedly performing an exorcism, Sophie's faith is an integral part of this case. We hear from Dr. Lauren Turek, an Associate Professor of History at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX and author of To Bring the Good News to All Nations: Evangelical Influence on Human Rights and U.S. Foreign Relations, gives us a context about Evangelical Christianity in the US and abroad and helps us understand Sophie's religious upbringing and worldview. Andrea is then joined by some of the Nobody Should Believe Me team: Senior Producer Myrriah Gossett and Lead Researcher/Producer Erin Ajayi to attempt to fill in the many blanks left by Sophie's memoir about her time in Zambia. The three of them lay out a timeline leading up to Sophie's adoptions of M and C, while at the same time examining the series of omissions and half-truths riddling Sophie's story. *** Links and Resources: Learn more about Dr. Lauren Turek: https://laurenturek.com/ Preorder Andrea and Mike's new book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy Catch Andrea and Mike at their Seattle Book Launch Event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/andrea-dunlop-and-mike-weber-the-mother-next-door-tickets-1097661478029 Click here to view our sponsors.

Interested in a career in semiconductor manufacturing? Check out ASM's website here: ⁠https://careers.asm.com/global/en/ ⁠ My guest on todays episode of the podcast is a Mechanical Engineering graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and started her career designing components of the International Space Station. Yeah... that MIT... and that International Space Station. After a solid start to her career at Honeywell, Sue Wong then went to Motorola where she continued her career in Mechanical Engineering. Now Sue is at the center of the engineering and technology world, working as a Mechanical Engineer at ASM. According to ASM's website: "Chips (or integrated circuits) make the impossible possible. Technologies that were once unthinkable become real: from autonomous vehicles to the next gaming console. Our technology enables the production of those chips." Sue has been making the impossible possible for her entire career, always holding a major role in achieving the cutting edge of all engineering throughout her career.

Did you know that Syrians welcomed Bashar al-Assad as "a breath of fresh air" when he initially assumed power? My guest, Dr. David Lesch, has visited Syria 35 times. In 15 of those visits, he met with Mr. Assad to write his biography. But after the biography was published, Mr. Assad invited Dr. Lesch back for more meetings! What you may find amazing about Dr. Lesch's meetings with Mr. Assad is the wide latitude he enjoyed in his conversations with Syria's president - he could essentially ask him whatever he wanted, including whether or not Mr. Assad ordered the killing of a certain foreign leader. In this interview, Dr. Lesch tells us the story behind the story, and we also talk about the following: transition from Hafez to Bashar Bashar: Syria's hope Syria's lost hope - the turning point for Bashar The Alawites Syria's obsession with the Golan Heights A 2012 prediction that the House of Assad will fall? *****

In the season 5 finale episode, I explore Hill's approach to Team Leadership as detailed in chapter 16 from the 9th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I highlight connections to our class' definition of leadership, discuss the importance of a strong culture, provide an overview of the model, and conclude with strengths and criticisms of the model. For the final Living Leadership interview of the year I'm joined by Deb Boughton, the Deputy Athletic Director at Marshall University. Before arriving at Marshall, she had a similar role at Northern Illinois University. Deb is a 1997 Trinity University alumna. While at Trinity she was a standout on the women's soccer team and was in the first class of Trinity Master's of Accounting program.  She speaks glowingly about role models and mentors like her head coach Nick Cowell, accounting professor Dr. Petrea Sandlin, and Trinity's longtime Director of Athletics Bob King. Deb firmly believes that nothing gets done if you haven't built strong relationships and emphasizes the difference between management and leadership. Speaking about relationships and the value of intercollegiate athletics, Deb says "A coach connects you to a program, but your teammates keep you there." She highlights that great leaders see no boundaries or limitations, but that they need strong colleagues to help them be aware of the pitfalls or proverbial alligators. I love how she describes what college athletics was for her and what it is for so many others - a place to learn, overcome fears, and develop confidence. During the conversation we discuss fruit salad versus gumbo as metaphors for why diversity matters and her two tenets of leadership: 1) reliability and 2) trust. This is an amazing conversation to conclude season 5 and I hope you enjoy!  

In episode 7 of season 5, I lecture on chapter 6 from the 9th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I describe the Path-Goal leadership approach, highlight the basics of how Path-Goal theory works, and conclude with strengths and criticisms of the model. Before the lecture, I was joined by Elizabeth Eder Northern for the Living Leadership segment. Liz graduated from Trinity University in 2009 with a Bachelor's degree. As an undergrad, she double majored in Religion and math, was an three time National Qualifier on the cross country team, and took full advantage of all that Trinity has to offer. She was a true Renaissance person and embraced the university's Liberal Arts ethos. After leaving Trinity she completed a Master's degree at Penn State and has served as the longtime Director of Research at Tarrant County College (TCC). In addition to being recognized by the Fort Worth Business Press with 40 Under 40 Award, Liz was also named as one of the Trinity University Alumni Association Tower 5 Award recipients in 2019. In our conversation she talks about the importance of mentors and friends, both in terms of pushing her to achieve things she never would have dreamed of and for holding each other accountable. As a leader of a team at TCC, she details the importance of hiring for complementary skill sets, helping team members maximize their strengths, and finding meaning in the work. Liz describes why setting developmental goals is good, both for the individual and the organization, and why having a leader that trusts their followers is paramount. Liz and I also talk about her successful distance running career (which isn't over!). While her accomplishments as a distance runner are wildly impressive, I hope you'll agree that her leadership approach and philosophy make her the kind of person we'd all like to work and learn with. She is a great role model for leaders everywhere. I hope you enjoy our conversation. And please, drop us a note on LinkedIn - or send me a tweet (@TingleJK) - to let us know your Take Home.

In episode 5's Living Leadership segment, I was joined by my teaching partner and outstanding Trinity University alumna '88, Allison Hawk. Allison is the founder of AHC Consulting LLC and was previously the Director of Corporate Communications and Community Outreach at the National Football League's St. Louis Rams. Allison highlights how her in and out of class experiences at Trinity shaped her leadership philosophy and that studying abroad is the single most important thing any student can do. She says that great leaders have the ability to learn, the ability to write, intercultural awareness, and adaptability. Her approach is to model the way, have an open door, to inspire with a detailed vision, and make sure that her team has the tools they need to be successful.  Allison highlights her own journey through the leadership labyrinth and tells stories about important mentors who made sure she was invited into the room AND had a place at the table. She also eloquently pushes against traditional notions of success by debunking the myth of the success narrative. Most importantly, Allison emphasizes the need to be kind - to others AND to yourself.  To conclude the episode, I lectured on chapter 14 of the 9th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I discuss the Glass Ceiling and Leadership Labyrinth metaphors which are used to describe the intersection of gender and leadership in the sports world. Those interested in learning more are encouraged to read these two research articles: 1) Gendered Leadership Networks in the NCAA: Analyzing Affiliation Networks of Senior Woman Administrators and Athletic Directors (request full text here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323505935_Gendered_Leadership_Networks_in_the_NCAA_Analyzing_Affiliation_Networks_of_Senior_Woman_Administrators_and_Athletic_Directors) 2) Passage Through the Leadership Labyrinth: Women's Journey in the Collegiate Recreation Profession (request full text here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/352483507_Passage_Through_the_Leadership_Labyrinth_Women's_Journey_in_the_Collegiate_Recreation_Profession) I hope you enjoy the episode.

An Interview with Dr. Kimberly Bauser McBrien Kimberly Bauser McBrien finds the Secret Book of James to be a humorous critique on the idea of apostolic authority. From our 21st-century perspective, it is difficult to decipher the difference between a weird or absurd tale from a clever parody on a serious subject. She argues that this late second century author is taking shots at his contemporaries who gave weight to apostolic credentials through false claims of unity or the experience of temporary ascending. Dr. Kimberly Bauser McBrien is a Lecturer at Trinity University, teaching various courses in New Testament and Early Christian History. Her PhD from Boston College was on social memory theory and the way it helps us understand how the sayings of Jesus were preserved and produced. This podcast is a discussion of her new article in the Journal of Early Christian Studies, titled “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Third Heaven: Reading the Secret Book of James (NHC I, 2) with a Parodic Imagination,” (Summer 2024 edition).

They're there through an evolutionary construct and that's, I think, such useful information when our brain is grappling with depression and anxiety or suicidal considerations, or just trying to find a way to keep breathing. Fundamentally, Because our brain's good at keeping us alive. It's its number one job. It's not so good at reading the instruction manuals that the 21st century has handed to us for a thriving life. ⁣ ⁣ 00:36 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ There are people in your life that you will meet that will either be there for a moment, a season or a lifetime You've heard this before and somehow someway no matter how much time they are in your life, because it's just a measurement of time you need to decide the role that they're going to play, especially as life is going forward, and I'm not only talking about those positive moments either, because life is truly about contrast. ⁣ ⁣ 01:04⁣ It's about growth, it's about finding balance, personal development right, and Dr Kate Truitt knows that all too well. If the name sounds familiar, it's because she has been here on the HIListically  Speaking podcast before, and she was here talking about her first book, healing in your Hands, which was the story of really how we can put self-healing and self-havening into our lives. But now she's back with something much more personal, and I am so elated to have you Kate. Kate the Great, as I call you, someone I consider a friend, a mentor, especially in the world of havening, and you're an award-winning clinical psychologist, neuroscientist, internationally recognized for your work in trauma and stress and resiliency. But more so, you are just a human being going through this life like anybody else, with your own story, and that is really what your newest book is about Keep Breathing and I'm just so glad I get time to share space with you again. It's always a gift. ⁣ ⁣ 02:07 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, well, right back at you, Hilary. Thank you so much for inviting me on and I just. You are a friend and a dear colleague and I admire you so much, and so I'm really excited to share about Keep Breathing and to dig in? Yeah, because at the end of the day, we are all just humans doing our best. ⁣ ⁣ 02:27 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Yeah, Like there's one quote that I love, Kate, and it's we're all just walking each other home right, and that's kind of something that you and I have talked about before, especially with this journey that you're sharing in Keep Breathing. That we're going to get into. But the whole idea that the old school, the old way of therapy and psychology, and sitting across the from your therapist, feeling like you're being judged in a way like tell me all your feelings. It has really changed, because now it's we're seeing more of the traditional therapy, including parts of ourselves, so that you can share with your clients and your patients to let them know I'm human too, and that's. That's so much about what we're we're reading in this newest book, isn't it? ⁣ ⁣ 03:17 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, and it well, it's about connection fundamentally. And the purpose of this book in so many respects was to highlight what you just said. When we're a psychotherapist, when we're trained and we've we've got the license, we've got the things, we're put into this expert role and sure there's a lot of information that we have. And, on the other hand, the number one thing that supports the healing journey is connection and report. And when we're invited to divorce our humanity from the healing process, sure there are some reasons for that, clinically, why we do that. And, on the other hand, in a world where disconnection is the rule of thumb, as our job now as empaths, as healers, is to be a connecting space, it really is about that. ⁣ ⁣ 04:12 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ So the hope for the book was. ⁣ ⁣ 04:13 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ yeah is to highlight hey, you can know a lot of things and, at the end of the day, just a human brain doing human things. ⁣ ⁣ 04:21 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ I think it also goes back to not just connection but a trust in knowing that as we're walking through this life, we're going to be impacted, we are going to be touch, moved and inspired by different things that come into our lives. And how do we process, how do we go through these things? And I think that's what makes your book a little different than just a traditional memoir. You're sharing this really deep part of yourself through years and this book just isn't about grief. This is so much further. You actually said this is part autobiography and part scientific exploration. Can you elaborate on that? ⁣ ⁣ 05:04 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, it's raw. ⁣ ⁣ 05:07⁣ I think the tagline that keeps coming back and being reflected to me is it took me five years to write this book and, for context, my first book I wrote in eight months and I love my first book, but this book took five years and it took 10 years to be able to write it, because it does dig into not only the sudden traumatic loss of my fiancee a week before our wedding and that's actually the opening chapter, is me going to give the eulogy and then it uses my story as the case study. ⁣ ⁣ 05:43⁣ The Case Study, told in real, deep, first-person, intimate terms, of understanding the impacts of childhood trauma, of chronic illness and pain, of suicidal considerations, and grappling with that very real human darkness that can seep into our souls and hold us captive for so long. And fundamentally also, it's a love story about coming home to self and learning how to partner with our mind and our body and our soul so that we can show up in the world around us no matter what's happening. And then, of course, because I'm a science geek and this is why it took five years really gently integrating the nuances of science into all of that, why is the brain doing these things? Why are our behaviors showing up in these ways that are deeply painful and negatively impactful on our lives, and I talk a lot about that Because really my goal for both of my books was to turn around to my young 16-17 year old self, if I could, and say, if only you'd had this data, dear one. And perhaps somebody else now will have the data and it will help them. ⁣ ⁣ 07:00 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Yeah, what would you say to your 16 year old self now? ⁣ ⁣ 07:05 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ It's okay, hang in there, baby girl. ⁣ ⁣ 07:07 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Yeah, hang in there. Isn't that something we constantly need to say to ourselves? We're not separate from the parts of ourselves that are younger. I mean, all parts matter, as we've heard. That's big in the community, but being able to hold space for that younger part of yourself that's feeling scared or insecure or undecided, showing up for that part of ourselves, is really important. ⁣ ⁣ 07:40 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Extremely important and even the parts of ourselves that are looking at exiting stage, left out of life. One of the final stories I added into the book was and this was a big leap that my editor supported me in making and Chelsea Thompson, thank you. You're amazing, I love. You was really looking at my young, 10 year old self who was struggling with suicidal ideation, and using that as another story to highlight the pain of childhood, the lack of awareness that our young selves can struggle with. And one thing Chelsea said to me as I wrote the story was I'm a mom. I don't really think about the fact that my little kiddo could be going to that level of deep despair. I think about anxiety and stress and depression, but I don't think about that for them. And when I told her how young it started for me, that's her brain. She's like you. Please, if you feel like you can safely tell the story, please do. ⁣ ⁣ 08:51 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ What's even scarier about that is that you and I grew up in an age where there was no social media, and you know my work as a health journalist. I've covered a lot of stories that tap into that area of how social media can have a real negative impact on your emotional well-being. ⁣ ⁣ 09:12⁣ In fact, there have been some statistics and I've shared them before on the age group that it's really impacting. You know that younger age group, the teens, into the early 20s even, and you know, with us not having that and how heavy it was for us then not having this global village to be able to tap into at the touch of a fingertip. How much more is it now and how much more important is this type of book to have so that kids know that they are supported, or the adult in us that's looking back at the child knows they're supported. ⁣ ⁣ 09:51 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Right. ⁣ ⁣ 09:51 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ You know. ⁣ ⁣ 09:53 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Well, yeah, and looking at the idea of the village and how fundamental that is to our deep, deep, beautiful, dear friend. ⁣ ⁣ 10:03 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Amy, make it work. We love Amy. ⁣ ⁣ 10:05 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, and those core values of safety and belonging and loveability and success, being able to get those core needs met, which is something that I've been developing as part of my model for 25 years. ⁣ ⁣ 10:20⁣ But I came up with the idea of Amy when I was a young 20 something working in a rat lab, because I couldn't figure out where. My brain just wanted me dead. And you know, and I had an amazing human who shown so much healing and care on me, which was John, and then 10 years later he died. And that grappling with myself within all of that and really knowing that, as you're sharing, there's our village, and then when we put it into that social media sphere, it escalates exponentially the pressure and the expectation of these fundamental values that our brains are evolutionarily hardwired to lean into. And so if we feel like what rejection feels like in a home environment and then we take that to a global populace, is what and that's what it can feel like in social media, especially for adolescents and teens, and that's why suicide is the number one killer of our young humans these days. It's devastating. ⁣ ⁣ 11:20 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ It's beyond devastating. Having to dig into those, those statistics, is both a doctor, a neuroscientist and also a journalist. The other side of things, to sit and to come from a compassionate place, because you and I are both empaths, as many people who are of service in this work are it. It's devastating to sit there and think how can I help? And in your writing of Keep Breathing, was that something you thought about? Because it is your own healing journey, that writing this. I'm sure it's cathartic, therapeutic, but were you thinking? In writing this, I really want to share some kind of in a way it's guidance, a guide that lets people know they're okay just how they are and they're supported. ⁣ ⁣ 12:13 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, I never would have done it otherwise. It's one thing to pen a story. It's another thing to go through the journey of publishing a book. As I know you're working on your own books and I know you know so well. The vision for this was so much bigger than me. ⁣ ⁣ 12:35⁣ Yeah, yeah, my story and it's interesting, Hilary, because my story used to be a unicorn story of being widowed so young, of grappling with chronic illness and layering through that the difficulties of a complicated childhood and a complicated mind, body system, with health and pain and everything. And then, when the pandemic hit, my unicorn story became a normal, devastating story of millions of humans facing unexpected loss and death, of chronic illness seeping into the very fibers of our society. And that was a huge part of what kept me moving forward when many times I wanted to set the book aside. And then the other piece is my fiance, john, who's a victim of the opioid epidemic and looking at chronic illness and pain and so much that has happened in terms of opioid use at a national level. And now you know Netflix has done a great job putting out a lot of really important stories around it and there's a lot of conversation now, more so than ever and at the same time. I was a psychologist, I was trained, I was working with individuals who are navigating addiction. ⁣ ⁣ 13:58 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ And here my own partner died of an accidental overdose from opioids and I remember what hit me with your book was very early on and I don't want to give this away, but we know that this story is so impactful. But when you went to the blame game and I saw in the quotes I should have been there, I was like ugh, and I think that is one of those things that we go through with. Grief is how the anger, the avoidance and then the blame of what could I have done differently? But you were actually in that space and to be also working in the space, it's kind of there's a level up there. ⁣ ⁣ 14:43 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ You know I felt like I, leveled up on the guilt and the shame and the judgment and just how I flogged myself emotionally for it and carried that. ⁣ ⁣ 14:56 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ I felt like I failed. What do you feel was the shift? And I feel like it's more than just a shift. But where did you really start seeing a change in how you wanted to change the narrative on this story of losing the love of your life a week before your wedding, really coming to terms with what you've been through in your own life as a child, with your own illness and your own suicidal ideations? Where was it where Kate said I got to do something with this? ⁣ ⁣ 15:33 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ There was an incident at my offices where a past patient of mine came to the offices with the intention of harming me and it was a very scary event and luckily everybody was fine and the situation was contained and the person who needed support got support. And that was one of those moments for me of reconciliation and recognizing that there's so much pain in the world and the slight sidestep here. But this really deep connection to mental health and wellness or human rights and therapy is a privilege. And saying that as somebody who runs a group clinic and also has a training institute and a nonprofit like how do we do everything we can? And then being a part of the havening community, of course, is one of the co-developers to create the butterfly effect of larger change. And in the havening world it's been really powerful and beautiful to witness how those tools and that's where I'm the creator of the Healing in your Hands programs can be disseminated into the communities and, on the other hand, the education around what's happening in our brains isn't readily available and one of the things after that incident in my office is that my team continually reflected and the patients who were in the offices when the event happened and we had full swat on site to helicopters Like this was no joke. ⁣ ⁣ 17:12⁣ One of the things that everybody kept continually reflecting back to me was thank God I understood my brain and what happened next in terms of their own journey. And I told everybody go get therapy, go get whatever support you need, go do acupuncture, go get whatever you need. Build me, including all the patients who were there. So my entire team and all the patients like, just know, we've got this, you just send us the invoices, no questions asked, whatever you need. Nobody took me up on it, and for two critical reasons. One, everybody went to the offices and applied havening with their clinicians and literally one of my clinicians was on the roof with her patient of a three-story building. ⁣ ⁣ 17:57 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Hey, there's no area that's off limits with this work. ⁣ ⁣ 18:00 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ He's there, no limits, just megawork. And that they understood their brain. And that was where the request really for me started to bubble up and say I've been a specialist in neuroscience and trauma and resilience for going on 20 years now because I needed to make sense of my brain and I've got a pretty wackadoodle story. ⁣ ⁣ 18:25 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ You're using that word. We love that word. Yeah, I do. ⁣ ⁣ 18:31 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ And to the point of the expert being Because people as experts were like, oh, they don't really experience this. And then we're on the pedestal and it's like no, no, no, no, no. I've had panic attacks in shows. I've done the continual freak out texting with people and just next thing I know it's pages after pages of text messages and nobody's responding. And there's a narrative why our brain engages in those behaviors and they can be so pathologized rather, and instead it's like no, you're just human. ⁣ ⁣ 19:04 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ That. I'm so glad you say that, because I've been there too and the first thing we want to do is shame ourselves for being human and think I should have known better. Much like I should have been there. ⁣ ⁣ 19:19⁣ We think, because we have this higher level of education LNOPs after our name we're on the top of what we do in the world, that we don't feel, and what makes us so beautiful is being vulnerable and courageous to say, oh no, I go through it too. And I'm glad you said that, because I think hearing it from somebody who isn't a place in a platform multiple and I'm not just talking social media, I mean in general where people look up to you we're not untouchable, or you're not untouchable, we're just human beings first right. So you go back to mentioning something you mentioned, something early in the book too, about flash bulb memories and to those who might not understand what that is in the scientific community, can you talk about that a little bit? ⁣ ⁣ 20:26 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ It's a reliving of an experience that has already happened and it's different from deja vu. Sometimes we have those experiences of deja vu of oh, I've been here before, this has happened before In a flash bulb memory. The experience is literally taking over our brain and we're reliving it in the moment, from everything we're hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, touching, all the way down to our somatosensory or body response, the body memories of the encoding and the thoughts, the feelings of all of it. And when it happens, it's extremely disorienting because our brain has lost sight of the present moment or back in the past, and it's really, really painful and for so many people who don't know what they are but experience them, because that happens in trauma it's extremely crazy. ⁣ ⁣ 21:19 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Making yeah, and really that's when we have to show up for Amy and say all is well, this is not happening, it happened right. And really having the tools, of which there are many out there, it doesn't have to just be havening. Obviously, it's what you want to put in your little brain candy jar, as I call it. Pull out what you need in that moment. And just a side note that those listening, there is a wonderful toolkit that Dr Kate is offering. It's Keep Breathing Healing Companion Toolkit. That is a free resource. It's a wonderful download. ⁣ ⁣ 21:58⁣ I highly recommend you grab this in addition to Keep Breathing the Book which is coming out in April, and it's a Keep Breathing, a psychologist's intimate journey through lost trauma and rediscovering life, and I'll have that book, as well as Healing, in your Hands available. These are both two wonderful books to put in your library when you need them. Read them more than once. I know this book just from starting to read it. It'll be one of those books I want to read again because it's such an intimate journey and I think this is the kind of book that every time you read it you find something new right. ⁣ ⁣ 22:36 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, well, the hope in integrating the science is really helping people partner with their brains and have a theoretical construct for all of those wackadoodle things that happen, and being able to say, oh OK, amy, the Amy, della, amy's having a really hard day, this is happening, that is happening. And being able to reconstruct not just the past but also find through lines on how to create the present. And that's where the Healing in your Hands book is a lovely companion as well. ⁣ ⁣ 23:13 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Yeah, we will share both those, definitely, yeah, yeah, what is it that you're hoping to see happen with Keep Breathing? That might be different from Healing in your Hands, with us being authors and sharing our journeys and sharing what we know and wanting to put it out there in the world. We just want to help people, right? What's the difference between your first book, healing in your Hands, and where you're hoping to keep breathing? ⁣ ⁣ 23:42 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, Healing in your Hands is a healing journey, and it utilizes the self-havening touch as a mechanism of action to empower an entire suite of neurobiological healing tools, and so that is really about partnering and guiding one's own healing journey. ⁣ ⁣ 24:06⁣ Through the lens of a lot of the client's case studies that I've worked with and it's so much fun writing it. ⁣ ⁣ 24:13⁣ Keep breathing, on the other hand, my vision really was to do a trauma-informed version of the Body Keeps the Score by Vistle VanderKohl, because that is a phenomenal book, but it was originally intended for clinicians and it's become the Bible of understanding trauma, for very good reason. ⁣ ⁣ 24:32⁣ It's beautifully written and extremely well-informed and yet it can be a really tough read for people who have trauma. And to take the Brené Brown framework and integrate it into the science, which then basically became kind of me belting out my own story every step of the way, which Brené does so beautifully, in order to reduce shame and enhance self-connection. So really the vision for Keep Breathing is to have a trauma-informed, safe way for people to learn about what's happening in their mind-body system and multiple different levels, not just traumatic loss and grief, because grief is weird. There's so many weird things about grief and loss that feel crazy-making and I use the word crazy with a deep love and care, because that's a term I've given to myself for going on 40 years now, and so I've partnered with that term because I can feel pretty chaotic, which is what crazy is Like ah, what's happening but to also help people see that they're not alone, yeah, and we need that more than ever. ⁣ ⁣ 25:43 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ And there's humor in the healing anyway, right. So, whether it's crazy wackadoodle, what's the other term. You say, oh, crazy pants McGee. Crazy pants McGee. I think that's the title of another book. Yeah, that's exactly what I mean Crazy pants McGee. But when we find the humor in the healing, we're kind of taking ourselves out of it in the moment, right, almost like what you said about the flash bulb. The landscape of where our brain is taking us in that moment, making us think like the fender bender that we're going through, the intersection of where we had a fender bender once, is actually happening right now, right, and being able to see oh OK, I'm OK, I'm safe, I'm good. I might be crazy pants McGee at the moment, but just holding space for ourselves in that area I think is really important. ⁣ ⁣ 26:36 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, yeah, absolutely yeah, and beautifully stated. Because those behavioral responses, those flash bulb memories, they're there through an evolutionary construct. Yeah, and that's, I think, such useful information when our brain is grappling with depression and anxiety or suicidal considerations or just trying to find a way to keep breathing. Fundamentally Because our brain's good at keeping us alive. It's its number one job. It's not so good at reading the instruction manuals that the 21st century has handed to us for a thriving life. ⁣ ⁣ 27:20 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ And making things more conversational. Like you said, the body keeps a score is a great book. It is a lot to read, right? And then you think about the books that Brene Brown has put out there which have a little bit more lightheartedness. It's like you're sitting down having a conversation with her, yeah, but you're blending the two in a way that makes this a much more conversational. Yet scientific exploration into a personal psychologist journey, you know, oh, that's pretty good. Actually, I like how I just said that. Oh yeah, that was beautiful. ⁣ ⁣ 27:53 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ But it's, I'm just going to pause on that. You can have it. ⁣ ⁣ 27:59 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ You have for the longest time, in every email, many times in some of your posts even have used the term phoenix rising. You know the phoenix rising. Where did you come up with that? And I know that's a real thing, but why is it so closely attached to Kate? ⁣ ⁣ 28:20 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Way back in my sweet young teenage years I adopted the spirit animal, the cockroach, and context of that is cockroaches can withstand anything. You cut their head off, they will live for two more weeks. I got to go in a deep dive researching cockroaches when I decided to put this in the book because otherwise, like you need to give context for that and of course it hit the cutting room floor. It's not the context of the human background. We'll keep it in here for you. ⁣ ⁣ 28:52⁣ It's here. Thank you, use the data. They're gritty, intense features and by the time I was 18, I think I'd almost died around nine times and I don't go into depth around all of it, but there's just been a lot. And when I met John, he kind of took a stand against me around the whole concept of the cockroach and said you know, that's not exactly the best framework because they're survivors and I'd always been a huge fan of Greek mythology and mythical creatures and leaning into narrative and story. ⁣ ⁣ 29:37⁣ And then one day, when I was in the throes of a really, really deep panic attack, I remember feeling that I felt like my body was on fire, which is how panic can often feel and I had severe, debilitating social anxiety. That's how I started in the rat labs, because rats are friendly and they're kind, they don't judge humans are terrifying. And it just started to shift for me the space of I keep going into the flames, I keep feeling like I'm burning up, but I keep coming out of the phoenix, and so that was a totem. I started to try on. And then when I met my now partner, nauz, who I know you've met and hung out with and Irish danced with, we did. ⁣ ⁣ 30:22 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Who are you kidding? You were the one that was killing it in the Irish dancing. ⁣ ⁣ 30:28 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ No, no, that was Kim, that was Kim. ⁣ ⁣ 30:30 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ I don't know, no, anyway, yes, knowing Nauz he's great. ⁣ ⁣ 30:35 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, on our very first date we were chatting and he shared with me that he had a totem of the phoenix and he survived and been through a lot and growing up in India and religious wars and just being exposed to a lot of really painful, complex things. And it was this bonding moment that we had of you know what? There will be ashes, there will be fires and pain into power, wounds, into wisdom. And then, because I'm just going to keep talking, hilary, do you know what a group of phoenixes is called? I'm not even gonna guess. ⁣ ⁣ 31:15 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ An odyssey. ⁣ ⁣ 31:17 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Oh, oh, I like that you mentioned that in the book I do, I do, I do, and so, as I mean, this was something I'd known for a little while and then, when I met ran, it started doing, havening and moving into this new way of being in the world, and I had phoenixes along the way of my journey, I started noticing this collective community of an odyssey, and from there it's just expanded beyond the haven in community, which is phenomenal and amazing, and to this larger global collective that I walk alongside, and these are all humans who have been in the flames. ⁣ ⁣ 32:01⁣ I don't know a single human who has done their work that hasn't burned up, and the reason I call it done their work is being a phoenix means you are aware that you burned. Oh yes, and the scars are things you're proud of. ⁣ ⁣ 32:19 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Yeah, the first step to any change is the awareness right. ⁣ ⁣ 32:23 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah. ⁣ ⁣ 32:24 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Yeah, love that. ⁣ ⁣ 32:24 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ And rather than being, and the transition to the phoenixes. Wait, I'm not going to be ashamed, I'm not going to judge myself, I'm not going to be stuck in self-living, and if I do get stuck there because we do as humans, I'm also going to lean into my village, my odyssey, you. It's the story of the phoenix. ⁣ ⁣ 32:50 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Love that and you mentioned that in the beginning of the book when I was first reading your acknowledgements you had. It was somewhat of a dedication to your odyssey, right? Yeah, it is literally. ⁣ ⁣ 33:03 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ I think it's the actual dedication. It is a dedication. ⁣ ⁣ 33:06 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ I just didn't want to leave anyone out, if but I remember reading that going oh. I love this. ⁣ ⁣ 33:11 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, to my village, my odyssey, and we continue to always phoenix up. ⁣ ⁣ 33:16 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ I love that, kate. The other thing I love that you do mention Nas, because I was going to bring him into this anyway and in that way that you're writing this book. It's really while it's not just about the grief and loss of a partner that you had. There's so much more to the book. But how has it been to be in another relationship, referencing back to an older relationship, and feel vulnerable enough to share it without feeling that you're possibly impacting the relationship you're in now? ⁣ ⁣ 33:57 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, and it's interesting you highlight that because that's something my mom has consistently brought up ever since I met Nas, which is like don't talk about John, don't. And from the most loving Karen's face, and Nas is very specifically, uniquely him, human. I have no better way to say it. ⁣ ⁣ 34:18 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ He's pretty cool. ⁣ ⁣ 34:20 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ He's pretty cool. Yeah, he's pretty cool and from the very you know it's interesting. I told him on her second date that I knew I would never be able to biologically have children. I didn't tell him about John until our 10th date because that, on her second date, was information that he needed to have so he could make a specific choice about whether or not he wanted to continue the relationship. As my body had considerations With John, I was so mindful that I didn't want to be that person that, whatever my brain said that person was. ⁣ ⁣ 35:06⁣ And when I started telling him about what had happened, he consistently showed up in a space that was just it's a part of your story. I want to know as much as you feel comfortable sharing. And that's been his through line from day one and writing this book. I kept checking with him because he did. Let me write about him in the book and he's deeply, deeply, deeply private. He's one of the most private people I've ever met in my life, and so I kept reading him excerpts that he's in and, in his own cheeky way, sometimes now he'll quote them back to me and be like, don't forget. ⁣ ⁣ 35:50⁣ Page 300 or 200, you said Sometimes I see more than you think, because literally he said that to me last night. ⁣ ⁣ 36:03 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ I love it. That's a good connection. It'll be fun this time Was that Write a book in what It'll be fun, right. ⁣ ⁣ 36:13 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ But I think the best way to describe it is he's seen all of these weird universal idiosyncrasies and just been there for all of them, and even this diamond that I wear. Nas gifted me last year, for he gave me two necklaces, one for anniversary, one for Valentine's Day, and this is the engagement ring that John gave me. This is the diamond. And then he gifted me another necklace that has the diamonds that were would have been on my wedding band with John and he was just saying John's always with you, he's your angel, he's always with you, and that's Nas. ⁣ ⁣ 36:57 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ That's more than just a confident human being. That's someone that gets it. It's someone who realizes that that's part of your story and you're here and you two are together now because it's exactly where you're supposed to be now. Right, it's like that quote, that, what is it? I was just sharing this today with a client. Life will give you whatever experiences are most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. ⁣ ⁣ 37:27 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ How do you know it's the right? ⁣ ⁣ 37:29 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ experience, because you're having it, that's. Eckhart right and that's a good one, because you sit there and you're like why is this happening? And then you think, oh, it's happening, because it's happening. Right, nas came into your life when he did, because he was meant to be there when he's there. So the reference back to something that was is still part of the is, but it's not the. ⁣ ⁣ 37:54 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Now you know what I'm saying, I do, I do. And John, the week before he died and this is a story that was one of the hardest stories to write in the book he had said I've always known I was going to die young and I was so mad and literally, driving on the freeway, pulled off onto the shoulder of the freeway, was so mad. He wasn't suicidal or anything, he just he's just this dead pan. And John had a certitude when he spoke about certain things. He was a joyful I mean, he's an April Fool's baby and he embodied everything you could imagine about an April Fool's baby, which is why the book coming out in April 2nd is so precious. And he said this and he looked at me and he said and you will find great love and I'll let you know you have to and my inner 13 year olds going, you're going to die alone and I'll die first. And he's just like you will know. ⁣ ⁣ 38:53 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ When you look back on that now, how does that impact you? Yeah, oh, he, let me know. Yeah, the greater awareness sometimes people have, we don't even realize it, you know. ⁣ ⁣ 39:04 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, it's a larger universal connection. And the chapter two opens up with a quote from John and do you mind if I read it? Oh please do, it's so poignant. ⁣ ⁣ 39:20 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ And while Kate's finding that, just a reminder that keep breathing healing companion toolkit, she's giving that away. That's a free resource that is available to you. It will go beautifully with the book. What a beautiful companion to the book. So we'll have that in the podcast notes as well as links to the book, which this book keep breathing, drops on the 2nd of April. And then there's also the other book, healing in your Hands, that we'll share as well, because it's why not have both right Right, kate the great in your pocket whenever you need her. But that's the goal. ⁣ ⁣ 39:52 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ That is the goal. If only we could have Kate the great all the time, and on the Dr Ketra dot com, we're cultivating a library of free resources. ⁣ ⁣ 40:01 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Love that. We'll share all of that the tool quotes there. ⁣ ⁣ 40:04 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, we have a bunch of neuroplasticity exercises because, you know, healing and the life journey is not just about healing the past Beautiful we also have the opportunity to build the future. So John yes, so the chapter called Tomorrow Begins, and this is starting the morning after I found him and I couldn't save his life. And the quote is and the transformation from flesh to earth. We see this symbolic form of transcendence, suggesting its inevitability, whether we see it as fit. ⁣ ⁣ 40:41 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ He said that and you remember that he said this when he was like 23. ⁣ ⁣ 40:47 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ And you, remember that I have a trunk. He and I were. He was also a prolific writer and so we would, he said. For context, I was in the hospital when I was in my early twenties and he sent me a three-ring binder. That was this thick of our remember AOL and Stitmus. Oh yes, of our aim conversations, because texting didn't exist yet. ⁣ ⁣ 41:12 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ You're dating us and yeah and it was all of our conversations. ⁣ ⁣ 41:17 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ I still have that, and so when I started writing the book, I went back through, which was a real journey into just my soul, and that was one of the quotes that I found from a poem that he'd written when he was in his early twenties. ⁣ ⁣ 41:32 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ It's quite extraordinary to think that the internet could be well contrasting, right, positive and negative, because it allows us to really go into the digital library and Rolodex of things that we might normally have to find in a huge library, and it could take hours and hours, in fact. Suddenly I just went back to. I had a flashball moment, but a good one. ⁣ ⁣ 42:05 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ And then it was a good one. ⁣ ⁣ 42:06 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Yeah, so when we were at the when we were at the library on the campus of Trinity University in Dublin and that library I remember looking around while we were there. ⁣ ⁣ 42:15⁣ We went on that tour and thinking how in the world do you find what you need in this place? Back in the day we're talking hundreds of years ago and you know we're of the dewey decibel system age, right, but now everything is just so at our fingertips with the digital age. It really makes us. It gives us, rather, the opportunity to transport ourselves to a place that maybe we have not been to in a very long time. ⁣ ⁣ 42:51 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah, you know, and reviewing the stories and conversations that we had and I brought a couple into the book Because they're just such in hindsight, going back to your question and how, when I think about what he said, now there's so many flickers to Eckhart Tolle's beautiful point of what was to come and the that quantum physics, human consciousness, integration. ⁣ ⁣ 43:33 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ With this book being so personal and understanding. Somewhat well, understanding authoring a book, was this one you did completely yourself, or did you find it helpful to have someone? Oh good, no. ⁣ ⁣ 43:50 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ No, no, no, I had. I was on the phone till 4am sometimes with friends as I was writing it. Rebecca who many people who've been to our trainings and knows Rebecca very well. She's on my lead trainers, also just a chosen sister and family member, a fellow Phoenix. She really incredibly helped me tune some of the harder parts of my family's narrative. I, every step of the way, was in conversation with my parents because we do unpack the family story and the narrative and it was critical to me that I be very respectful of every human's journey. Nobody has intended harm, despite the experiences that occurred. And how do we honor and hold space for that and the ancestral journey of all of that transgenerational trauma? So my parents were a huge voice within all of it. Rebecca really played a critical role in identifying some key ways to present some information that would sponsor the story and honor everybody's unique stories. I'm accusing the word story, but that's what it is. ⁣ ⁣ 45:04 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ And also I've found that there are. Well, we all have a story right. Every single one of us Not everyone's going to pen a book. Not anyone, not everyone's going to talk about it, and part of the difficulty might be for fear of saying or hurting somebody, because you are sharing your truth, right. ⁣ ⁣ 45:29 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ And and with John's family. It was so important to me to be respectful Because I could I could tell the story that I lived with him and they were my family for 10 years and during many of those years they were more my family than my own family and to share the information I was sharing. How do I do that in a respectful, kind, loving manner and also not unpack any information that wasn't mine to share? I'm walking that very fine line and I was very grateful that when I was going through that huge binder, one of the things that John repeatedly circled back to was a permission that I didn't know would happen 10, 15 years later of you have to tell your story, and whatever version of my story is a part of that tell it. And that refrain shows up over and over and over again, going all the way back to when I was 20, 21 years old. ⁣ ⁣ 46:39 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Kate, this is such a gift. It's going to help many and I imagine it continues to help you. Yeah, you know it does. This helps me. Oh well it helps me too. I think we learn from each other. You know, and that's so much of what community connection the Odyssey is Right, so I'm so glad that you brought that brought that up, because that was that was definitely an important piece Before we go. ⁣ ⁣ 47:09⁣ You know I do this, you know it's coming. I hope you haven't been writing down words too, because I want to do our little rapid fire. As you know, for those who are new to the HIListically Speaking podcast, I do a game called rapid fire at the end, where I write down words that were said by our lovely guests and want to think about the first word that comes to their beautiful brains. So not always positive, not always negative, just is doesn't matter, it's just a word, right? ⁣ ⁣ 47:43⁣ So here we go. You ready, yes, okay, some of them might be two words, but right, because you've been on before, so I got to change it up for you, all, right? Well, why don't we start with Odyssey? ⁣ ⁣ 47:58 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Village. ⁣ ⁣ 48:00 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Breathing. ⁣ ⁣ 48:02 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Life. ⁣ ⁣ 48:03 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Whackadoodle Laugh, because that's our favorite word, amy Superhero. ⁣ ⁣ 48:13 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Belonging Hard one. ⁣ ⁣ 48:19 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Safety Hard one. ⁣ ⁣ 48:22 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Success Complicated. ⁣ ⁣ 48:27 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Oh, you didn't. Okay, you changed it up a little bit. All right, she's throwing me for a loop. Okay, community Odyssey Self love Hard one. Can I keep using the same one you? ⁣ ⁣ 48:42 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ can do whatever you want. There are no rules, all right, all right you make the rules, just play the game. ⁣ ⁣ 48:47 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ That's the rule. Okay, okay, grief. ⁣ ⁣ 48:54 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Oh, that's a hard one, especially because I'm running this huge workshop and I've been knee deep in all of the science of grief. Grief, it's just, it's a part of life. It needs to be a part of the conversation. Yeah, two words. ⁣ ⁣ 49:11 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Childhood trauma, heartbreaking. ⁣ ⁣ 49:15 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Suicidal, the escape hatch. Phoenix Wounds into wisdom baby. ⁣ ⁣ 49:31 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Yeah, we're closing on that, yeah. ⁣ ⁣ 49:34 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ We're closing on that. Yeah, wounds into wisdom, baby. ⁣ ⁣ 49:40 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Yeah, we're closing on that Love, that Beautiful. I adore you. ⁣ ⁣ 49:45 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ I really do. ⁣ ⁣ 49:49 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ I have not ever had a guest come on more than once, so congratulations, I did not know that. ⁣ ⁣ 49:54⁣ So thank you. Yes, I mean, I look, you know that this show is my baby. It is my heart's work and I do get a lot of people that want to be in this space and I'm so grateful for that. But to be able to have you back on and share this other part of Dr Kate Truitt to me felt just so natural. Thanks, Right. So I adore you, I admire you. You are such a mentor and such a spark of wisdom and just there's just so many ways I could describe you, Kate, Kate the Great. But thank you for being here, Thank you for everything you were putting out there in the world. ⁣ ⁣ 50:40⁣ And just a reminder we will share everything in the podcast notes, including Dr Kate Truitt's free resources, the book Keep Breathing, even Healing in your Hands, if you haven't heard about it. But go back and listen to that podcast episode, which was, I think, 101. But I can't be certain of that, but we'll put that in there. Good memory. I know it was in the hundreds, early hundreds. Now we're at 149. So look where we are. Of course you are, and I just want to give you a moment to share some final words with those tuning in. ⁣ ⁣ 51:17 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ It's not going to be too different from what I think I wrapped up our last conversation with, which is, Hilary, just be gentle. If we're all a little more gentle with ourselves, it's a skill. It's not frequently something we're taught and it's the game changer. Being human and living in a human world is complicated. When we're soft and we're gentle with ourselves, it opens up entirely new opportunities for connection, for growth and for inspiration. Life really. ⁣ ⁣ 51:55 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Gentle is such a beautiful word. As you were saying that and just speaking the word. It really. You know how words have feelings, like colors. Just hearing you say the word gentle, it just seemed nurturing and loving. ⁣ ⁣ 52:12 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Yeah. ⁣ ⁣ 52:13 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ That's a really beautiful word and leaving with that, I like that. That's where we're going. Good deal, yeah, thank you, kate. ⁣ ⁣ 52:25 - Dr. Kate Truitt (Guest)⁣ Thank you, joy and an honor. ⁣ ⁣ 52:27 - Hilary Russo (Host)⁣ Always All right, my sunshine. It's time to be a part of that odyssey that Dr Kate Truitt talks about. Grab a copy of her latest book Keep Breathing a Psychologist's Intimate Journey Through Loss, trauma and Rediscovering Life.

Timestamp (11:33) Cayley's story TW – domestic violence and sexual assault. Cayley Mandadi's family say she had blossomed into a beautiful young woman, inside and out.  They have also said that her life was joyful, full of love, beauty, compassion and intelligence. Cayley was 19 in 2017.  She was attending Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and she had recently started dating a man, Mark Howerton. Mark was known to be abusive and violent.  He had trashed Cayley's dorm room at one point and her friends said they had seen bruises on Cayley. Cayley and Mark went to a music festival in October 2017.  Mark's story was that the couple had left and sex in their car and that soon after, Cayley fell asleep.  Mark continued driving to their destination and claims to have only noticed later that Cayley was not breathing. He took Cayley to hospital where she died from blunt force trauma to the head, days later. Mark went to trial twice for Cayley's death.  The prosecution argued that Mark had beaten Cayley brutally and caused injuries that caused her death. In 2023, Mark was found guilty of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury in relation to Cayley's death and he was sentenced to twenty years in prison. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the brutal death of Cayley Mandadi.  Was justice served?

Join Jim and Greg as they appreciate new research from Trinity University in Ireland and The Ohio State University showing that the climate alarmists are way off and that increased carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and others plants and makes them stronger - just like we learned in basic biology class.They also wince as the Biden administration continues to tread very lightly with Iran despite more than four dozen attacks on U.S. positions in the Middle East by Iran proxy groups and the hijacking of a ship in the Red Sea by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.Finally, they get a good laugh out of a USA TODAY story bemoaning the serious injuries illegal immigrants are suffering by falling off of our new 30-foot high border walls. And of course, there's no suggestion that the migrants are responsible for their own actions. No, it's the wall's fault - and the people that wanted it.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!
