In many of our past episodes we've uncovered aspects of emotions that can come up when we're stressed plus this month we're looking into the topic of conflict so today's episode goes into both these areas by looking at the political anxiety many of us may be experiencing around the upcoming Presidential election. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum we seem to all experiencing the same sensation of fear resulting from the polarization we're feeling. We thought it might be helpful to take a deeper look at this by exploring the what and the why when it comes to feeling this way, particularly as election day approaches. We'll call on 3 experts to guide us: Rick Hanson, Amy Chua, and Drew Westen Ph.D. Rick Hanson, Ph.D., is a neuropsychologist and New York Times best-selling author. His books include Hardwiring Happiness, Buddha's Brain, Just One Thing, Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness. He'll help us learn more about mindfulness and emotional regulation.   And Amy Chua is author of the Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations. She is a noted expert in the fields of ethnic conflict and globalization and will help us learn about tribalism and identity politics.   Drew Westen, author The Political Brain, The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation, is a clinical, personality, and political psychologist and neuroscientist. He will help us see how emotions, particularly fear and anger influence politics.   This will be a 2 part series. This is the episode covering the pre-election and the other will be post-election.   Topics Covered: Political Anxiety Defined Rick Hanson's Concept of “Paper Tiger Paranoia” Virtuous Conduct Tribalism and Identity Politics (Amy Chua) Emotions in Politics (Drew Westen) Statistics on the 2024 Election Campaign (Pew Research Center) Mindfulness, Empathy, and Connection   Here are 3 takeaways from our episode:   1.     Political anxiety, driven by high-stakes issues like abortion and climate change, is often intensified by our brain's tendency to overestimate threats, known as "paper tiger paranoia." Mindfulness can help manage these fears by grounding us in reality and reducing the sense of being overwhelmed. 2.     Tribalism, as described by Amy Chua, worsens political anxiety by creating an "us vs. them" mentality. While polarization grows, she remains optimistic that local, community-driven efforts can bridge divides and foster empathy. 3.     Emotions in politics play a major role in voter decision-making, with campaigns often exploiting fear and anger. Drew Westen highlights that positive emotions, like hope and authenticity, can inspire greater political engagement and help alleviate political anxiety.   Mentioned in the Episode:   Rick Hanson: https://www.amazon.com/   Let Be, Let Go, Let In 15-Minute Guided Meditation   https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/anxious-about-election/   https://rickhanson.com/dos-and-donts-of-virtuous-conduct/   https://rickhanson.com/topics-for-personal-growth/navigating-political-turmoil/   https://rickhanson.com/how-to-promote-healthy-human-politics/   Amy Chua, Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations https://www.amazon.com/   Drew Weston, The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation https://www.amazon.com/   https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/10/10/voters-feelings-about-the-2024-campaign-and-election-outcomes-concerns-about-political-violence/   Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/peace-wild-things-0/ How to reach Yo Canny:    Our Store: www.girltaketheleadpod.com/store    Our Website: www.girltaketheleadpod.com  You can send a message or voicemail there.

And if I did something I need to deal with maybe I need to give myself those 15 minutes to really feel it. And then go back into activity. What it does is allows me to cancel a negative thought, or to not have my day go off the rails because I got angry or I got sad about something or something that came in that I wasn't expecting, I can really put it in its right place and then reset. Thoughts on Breathing I noticed when I need to stop and take a full breath in. We all tend to do this to the point that when we're busy, like I gotta get this done. Oh, you're panting stop and breathe. Let your brain let your body feel where it's all coming from in the body. Relax into this, then go into the activities. And the breathing I noticed is a big, big deal.

I was chased home, spit on, and teased. There was a lot of bullying as a young child and I think if I had been taught mindfulness, I would have realized this wasn't about me, it was about them. It was something broken in them, maybe something going on in their home. I think if I had understood the bigger picture to forgive and let that go; to not just see them as bullies, but see them as individuals that just had brokenness they weren't dealing with, even as children, then I could have not attached those to myself for so many years. I was the choir geek. I was the one that had bad hair and braces. My brother was captain of the football team. He was a senior and I was a freshman. I remember his friends even picking on me or throwing footballs at my head in class. I didn't understand then that mindfulness could have helped me just let it go. Let them go and find their own journey. It'll catch up with them, you just stay true to yourself and evolve. I just want to hug them and say, it's okay. These are others projecting their own stuff. Everybody has their own brokenness, and they're dealing with it in different ways.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, for Brain Fact Friday and episode #126 on Building Resilience: A Pathway for Inner Peace, Well-Being and Happiness. If you are listening to this episode on iTunes, click here to see the images in the show notes.  This week’s Brain Fact Friday will take a closer look at resiliency, with some simple strategies that you can implement immediately, for improved results in your personal and professional life by accessing this powerful inner resource that will allow you to walk confidently, especially, on uneven ground. Rick Hanson, Ph.D., a psychologist, senior fellow of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley and New York Times best-selling author is so passionate about this topic, that he wrote an entire book on it, called Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength and Happiness.[i] “If we are going to have lasting well-being in a changing world, we’ve got to be resilient. To be resilient, we’ve got to have inner resources.” (Rick Hanson, Talks at Google)[ii] In Today’s Brain Fact Friday we will cover: What does it mean to be resilient? How can we build it in ourselves and others? And how does it create a sense of well-being, an inner sense of peace and happiness? Welcome back, I'm Andrea Samadi, a former educator who has been fascinated with understanding the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports and the workplace for the past 20 years. If you have been listening to our podcast for some time, you will know that we’ve uncovered that if we want to improve our social and emotional skills, and experience success in our work and personal lives, it all begins with an understanding of our brain. We started Brain Fact Fridays last month to dive a bit deeper into some of top brain strategies we uncover in our interviews, or weekly episodes and from the feedback I have heard, these short episodes are helpful for learning about the brain in quick, easy to digest lessons, so we will continue with Brain Fact Fridays and I do appreciate the feedback! Getting back to today’s BRAIN FACT: DID YOU KNOW: That Mindfulness[iii] leaves a lasting impact on our brain (Rick Hanson) and when we practice mindfulness, we become more compassionate, resilient, and more skillful with others. Rick Hanson quotes “If the mind is like a sailboat, growing inner resources is like strengthening and lengthening its keel. Then you can live more boldly.  Trusting you can explore and enjoy the deeper waters of life and handle any storms that come your way.” I first started to take a closer look at resiliency when I interviewed Horacio Sanchez on episode #74[iv] where Horacio, who named his company, Resiliency Inc[v] defined Resiliency as “a collection of protective risk factors that you have in your life.” He explains how there are some factors we are born with, and others come in through childhood, family, school, life events and social experiences. Horacio further explains that “if you have little risk, it takes less to be resilient. But—if you have a lot of risk, it takes a lot more protective factors to offset the scale.”  This is why two people can possibly respond in two completely different ways after a traumatic experience. One person walks away, and recovers quickly, while the other has a completely different outcome, and needs more assistance. With resiliency, we can overcome adversity or difficulty and have good outcomes in our life, but you can see why not everyone is born with exactly the same protective factors needed, so we don’t all have the same levels of resiliency. Horacio mentioned that “25% of the population are naturally resilient” so his work focused on instilling resiliency in those who were not naturally resilient due to the number of risk factors associated to them. This is what I love about this inner resource—that it can be instilled in others, or that we can build our own levels of resiliency, our own psychological strengths, that we can access at any time of the day, when we need it. And when we take the time and effort to do this, we will create lasting changes in our brain over time, as well as others who we instill with this valuable inner resource. How can resiliency be instilled in ourselves and others? We all want resiliency for our own children, or those we work with or for ourselves. Here are some ideas to build this skill in ourselves and others with the idea that whenever we face a threat (whatever it might be that knocks you off course in life—the Pandemic, the loss of a job, worrying about losing your job, an illness) these strategies will help to provide coping mechanisms, and take away the feeling of helplessness that often accompanies a threat. APPLY PROTECTIVE FACTORS LIKE BUILDING AND MAINTAINING RELATIONSHIPS: Horacio mentioned the work he has done over the years with applying protective factors (like teaching social and emotional skills, or involvement with a caring adult) with those children who had many risk factors, and explained that this took time, with many serious challenges along the way as the students he was working with had to learn the changes that take place over time. If we think about it, lasting change, at the brain level does time and effort, but well worth the results in the long run. He spoke about the fact it was clear that everyone needed help with building relationships, and this was a valuable lesson for everyone involved to build family harmony and stability. It’s a lesson we can all use.   TUNE INTO A MEMORY OF GRIT: Angela Duckworth put this word on the map with her TED TALK[vi] Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance and believes that “Grit is the tendency to sustain interest in and effort toward very long-term-goals” (Duckworth et al., 2007). She believes that although people are born with grit, that it also develops through experience, just like resilience. I saw a powerful example of building resilience in students with Jemi Thompson’s Thriving YOUniversity’s[vii] facebook group. Jemi wrote “never forget that each student walking into our classroom has years of experience we know nothing about.” Students wrote these responses anonymously, and it reminded me of how much we can learn from our students, and children, or even our co-workers when we provide the opportunity to share. (Images from Jemi Thompson Thriving YOUniversity's Facebook Page for SEL Resources). MAINTAIN A MINDFULNESS PROGRAM: We know from our interview with Dr. Daniel Siegel[viii] of the powerful benefits of adding a mindfulness program to your daily practice. He mentions six science-backed benefits that can be seen in the brain: Integration of structure and function of the brain (promotes well-being) Reduction of the stress hormone, cortisol. Enhancement of immune function. Improvement of cardiovascular risk factors. Reduction in inflammation via epigenetic changes. Optimization of telomerase that slows aging. Our brain fact for this week was That Mindfulness[ix] leaves a lasting impact on our brain (Rick Hanson) and when we practice mindfulness, we become more compassionate, resilient, and more skillful with others.  It’s just one of those pieces of research we can only believe as we begin a practice ourselves. There are a few Mindfulness programs I recommend, but the learning only occurs with action. If you want to learn more about the Mindfulness programs I use, I’ll list them in the resource section. When we can take the time to look within for answers, this gives a sense of power or inner confidence, and then add deep breathing to this and we’ll be activating the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system that helps us to feel rested and grounded. It’s much easier to feel optimistic in the face of a threat when you have your body and mind working for you, not against you. I hope you find this Brain Fact Friday useful! Let me know if you use any of these strategies in your schools or workplaces. Have an incredible week, and see you next Friday!

Show Notes:Values are those non-negotiable principles by which you live your life. No ifs, ands, or buts about it! However, if your lifestyle, career, or clients don’t align with those core values, it can be difficult to live a rewarding and fulfilling life. Welcome back to another live coaching episode! Today’s guest is Jade, who has just transitioned from free to paid astrology services. In this episode, Cassandra and Jade discuss that transition and how Jade’s strong feelings that this is what she is meant to be doing have helped push aside the imposter syndrome. Jade also shares her fears around money and where they stem from, and she talks about the polarities inherent in herself, her personality, and the world around her. Finally, Cassandra speaks about the importance of having unshakable core values to return to, learning to come back into the body, and finding the root chakra, in life and in business. Tune in today to hear more!Key Points From This Episode:Jade shares a bit about herself and her astrology work with listeners.Imposter syndrome is easier to push aside because Jade feels so strongly that this is what she is meant to be doing.In the transition from free to paid service, Jade has a lot of fear around money.Where Jade’s money fears stem from and how astrology has helped her overcome them.Being in control of her own destiny while also accepting that we have no control in the end.How Jade has had to let the various aspects of her personality play together harmoniously.What a Grand Cross is in astrology and how it can create conflict for Jade.Jade talks about having unshakable core values and learning to come back into her body.Continually returning to her root chakra, both personally and with her business.Tweetables:“Astrology is like a scaffolding that I have been able to hang all of the intuition and all of the knowledge and the deep love I had for people – I’m able to hang that all on this scaffolding of astrology.” — Jade [0:01:56]“There’s two ways you can go with [control]. There’s the, ‘Watch this! Watch me blow up, watch me get all the things done,’ and then there’s also the, ‘I don’t know because I need someone to give [it to] me’.” — Cassandra Shuck [0:06:30]“When you said ‘coming back into my body’, that really resonated with me. When I have worked with healers in the past, that is what we’re working on. To stay in my body is very difficult with me.” — Jade [0:10:11]Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Jade MillerCassandra ShuckSourced Strategy Course

This week on the podcast, Dan Neumann is joined by Che Ho! Che Ho is leading an agile transformation for the County of Santa Clara, California. He also recently got certified as a Scrum Master Professional through Agile Alliance. And, fun fact: He’s also a martial arts instructor for Wing Chun! He’s been studying it since he was 10 and has been teaching it now for 20-odd years.   Speaking of martial arts, the topic today directly relates to it! Shu Ha Ri is a concept that comes from Japanese martial arts’ kata (AKA forms) and is a fantastic tool for Agile coaches in their approach to agile adoption. In this episode, Dan and Che Ho are completely breaking down the concept of Shu Ha Ri to make it just a little more tangible.   Key Takeaways What is Shu Ha Ri? ‘Shu Ha Ri’ is not levels, nor is it a self-contained stage that you go through The description of Shu Ha Ri comes from Japanese martial arts’ kata (AKA forms) Shu Ha Ri is similar to a pyramid; each phase supports one another and one cannot exist without the other It’s simply a way to look at a maturity level which can help with agile adoption Breaking down Shu Ha Ri: The ‘Shu’ phase: Shu is when you first start learning (it’s essentially like learning the alphabet and how to put things together) Where you learn the ‘why’ The time for getting comfortable with the rhythm of things The ‘Ha’ phase: Ha is about playing with the techniques and stringing them together in your own unique way You can begin to personalize within the framework You can move off script as the framework is internalized Motivation comes to light at this phase The ‘Ri’ phase: Ri is the ‘ultimate mastery’ — it’s described as the phase where the form no longer matters (it’s a ‘formless form’) It’s more of a lifestyle — it becomes so ingrained in you that it just becomes the way that you are rather than something that you do The activity becomes organic Through this, you create ways that are uniquely yours and you can become playful with it A lot of experimentation can signify a ‘Ri’ level of maturity Ri is when you become so comfortable with what’s going on that it just becomes you; and you’re free to innovate, create, and experiment How to address resistance to Shu Ha Ri: Firstly, don’t take it personally — as Che Ho says, “They’ve honed their habits over decades to get to the success where they’re at now — so of course they’re going to resist changing it!” Address the ‘why’ for the change Remember: it takes time You can only get so far studying by yourself but a coach helps you get great A study group can be a form of coaching if they are focused and have their intention set for growth and change Che Ho’s key takeaways: Shu Ha Ri is a way to bring people to the same understanding Be sure to have patience with the change Celebrate the small wins along the way Instead of trying to achieve something, Shu Ha Ri should become an internalization and part of your being   Mentioned in this Episode: Che Ho's LinkedIn Profile Agile 2019 Conference Wing Chun Shu Ha Ri Bruce Lee Coaching Agile Teams: A Companion for ScrumMasters, Agile Coaches, and Project Managers in Transition, by Lyssa Adkins Alistair Cockburn Kata Woody Zuill Agile Coaches’ Corner Ep. 45: “The Benefits of Mob Programming with Chris Lucian” The Agile Manifesto County of Santa Clara Nonviolent Communication (Approach by Marshall Rosenberg)   Che Ho’s Book Picks: Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication, by Oren Jay Sofer Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness, by Rick Hanson Ph.D. and Forrest Hanson Pocket Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology: An Integrative Handbook of the Mind, by Dr. Daniel J.

"Resilence is more than bouncing back from adversity. People who are resilient keep pursuing their goals in the face of challenges. Consequently, learning how to regulate your brain's motivational machinery is a key aspect of resilence." —Rick Hanson, Ph. D, author of Resilient: How to Grown an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength and Happiness Living well and successfully reaching our fullest potential in part resides in understanding what is and is not in our control. Once we understand what we have control over, for example, and for today's post/episode's purposes, the mind, then we need to be willing to take the time to learn how it functions and how we can use its talents to enhance the overall quality of our lives. Dr. Rick Hanson shares in the introduction of his book Resilience that "the brain is continually remodeling itself as you learn from your experiences. When you repeatedly stimulate a 'circuit' in your brain, you strengthen it." After reading his book, which is organized by the needs we have as human beings - safety, satisfaction and connection - readers discover the skills, and then the tools to build those skills to build our resilience. "True resilience fosters well-being, an underlying sense of happiness, love and peace." And in order to foster the sense of each of them and hardwire them into our being, we need to experience them, seek them out and consciously savor them so as to remember how to live each day consciously as we build a life we love living each day. Hanson asserts and I have to certainly agree, when we practice and improve our resilience in good times or seemingly benign moments in our everyday lives, we "will feel less anxiety and irritation, less disappointment and frustration and less loneliness, hurt and resentment. And when the waves of life come at you, you'll meet them with more peace, contentment and love in the core of your being." So let's start by looking at our everyday lives and discovering how we can strengthen the muscle, the skill, that is resilience. 1.Take care of your own well-being first "Being good to yourself is good for others. When people increase their own well-being, they usually become more patient, cooperative, and caring in their relationships." We can only give our best selves when we care for ourselves well. When our needs are met, we can help others who are in need of generosity, understanding and patience. Read/Listen to episode #242 for 31 Ways to Practice True Self-Care. 2. Notice and savor enjoyable moments Creating the habit of being self-compassionate is a learned skill. And with any skill, it takes conscious effort and repetition to habituate the skill into our default systems. Hanson advises, "Once you're having [an enjoyable] experience, feel it as fully as possible and take a little time —a breath or two or ten — to stay with it. The more often you do this, the more you will tend to hardwire psychological resources for yourself." Once you have strengthened this skill, you will be better able to utilize it during difficult as well as joyous times. ~Learn more about self-compassion and how to cultivate it in episode #122 3. Welcome Enjoyable Moments into Each Day Conscious living is thoughtful living to pay close attention to how our days are constructed. Now this doesn't mean we have to plan every minute of the day and it doesn't mean everything must be nose-to-the-grindstone work or striving for nothing but perfection. What Hanson encourages is to understand and find what is enjoyable about the tasks you both want to do and have to do. Completing a project at work for example, while the entire task may not be enjoyable, ask yourself, what is and focus on that. In so doing, you are more engaged, more attentive and more likely to give your best and have a more positive outcome. On the flipside, for those activities you enjoy, make sure you partake in them regularly and savor the enjoyment you derive from doing so. Each time you focus on the reward, the enjoyable part, the brain releases dopamine, norepinephrine and natural opioids which then prioritizes in your mind what actions it wants to continue to pursue unconsciously. So essentially, you are beginning to hardwire your brain for wanting to do things that you consciously know will add quality to your life whether the enjoyment comes from have-to tasks or want-to tasks. 4. Repeat the superpowers you want to be part of your brain's hardwiring "The more [neurons] fire together, the more they wire together. In essence, you develop psychological resources by having sustained and repeated experiences of them that are turned into durable changes in your brain." Hanson shares that our character strengths, mood, skillful ways, outlook, good habits, etc. are predominantly learned as only one-third are innate in our DNA. The remaining two-thirds are acquired through learning. This is good news, but it also means we have a massive responsibility in recognizing that we are who we either consciously or unconsciously choose to become. As Hanson coins, "who we learn to be". 5. Encourage Beneficial Experiences "See the jewels around you." The brain's negativity bias is programmed to protect us, and so it will bring to the forefront, if we aren't the master of our mind, all the negative in our days. However, when we understand why the brain is doing this, we can counteract it by seeking out, observing, savoring and incorporate more positive little moments into our day. From savoring your breakfast or that cold glass of water, observing the beauty of the day, or the happy step of your pup as you head out for your walk, when we pay attention to the good experiences, we are nurturing our well-being. Why? Because if we are regularly letting the negative take the stage of our attention, there is "wear and tear on your body and mind". 6. Understand the essence of learning What we learn, we become, and since two-thirds of who we become is learned, knowing how to learn is essential, so we can do it well and learn what will improve the quality of our everyday and overall lives. Hanson's acrynom for learning is HEAL (H - Have a beneficial experience; E - Enrich it, A - Absorb it; and finally, L — Link it to replace or soothe painful material). The first three steps are the essence of learning. With that said, we need to live consciously. We need to choose experiences that are beneficial or have the potential to be beneficial. To enrich each of these beneficial experiences, we need to be fully present, taking everything in, slowing down, looking for something we had not seen if we are experiencing something beyond the first time, and then become clear as to why the experience is valuable to you. (a more detailed list regarding how to enrich experiences is hared on page 58 of Hanson's book). Once we have enriched it, we need to savor the experience, or absorb it. To be clear, and Hanson points this out and I think this is vitally important to not misunderstand: Absorbing doesn't mean hanging on, clinging and not letting go. In fact, you are letting it go because you were never holding on to it, just noticing it, being present with the experience and appreciating it. Absorbing has to do with letting yourself feel good, letting yourself bask in the warmth of what has been part of your experience and in your own way, letting it become a part of you. Experiences can stay with us forever. Make sure the experiences that stick are wants that truly jewels. 7. "Let the Flowers Pull the Weeds" I love this analogy, and the neurology behind the concept demonstrates how we can rewire our mind to reframe or eliminate negative thoughts and unhelpful attitudes about life and replace them with beneficial ones. Hanson points out that practicing mindfulness will be a helpful tool to be able to grow flowers whilst bringing as well to your attention the weed you want to replace. Because when you are able to hold two thoughts simultaneously, it is then that the good can begin to replace the negative, as you are able to recognize that good that is true and begin to chip away at was no longer serving you. 8. Be Mindful of The Self-Critic and Strengthen the Inner Nurturer "There are two different attitudes or 'voices' inside us all, one that is nurturing and another that is critical, one that lifts up and one that weighs down. This is perfectly normal. The inner nurturer brings self-compassion and encouragement. The inner critic helps you recognize where you've gone wrong and what you need to do to set things right . . . for most people, the inner critic goes way overboard . . . it's big and powerful, while the inner nurturer is small and ineffective, which wears down mood, self-worth and resilience." The inner critic needs to be kept in check, and this can be hard to do when moments in life, people in our lives become frustrating or hard to work with. We can be excessively harsh on ourselves which is why in such moments, we especially need to have a strong inner nurturer. A simple truth to keep in mind is that overtime those of us who allow our inner critic to run rampant are actually less productive in what we are critical about, and ultimately, that bleeds into our overall quality of life the elevation of living well we are able to reach. 9. Practice "liking" more and "wanting" less "The root of [wanting] means 'lack'. It's natural to like things that are pleasurable, such as a sweet dessert with friends. But issues arise as we move from liking to wanting, from enjoying a meal together to insisting on the last piece of pie." When we let our "auto-wanting" take control, we are pulled from the present, we are infusing our minds with the belief that we are not enough or what we already have is not enough. This is draining physically and potentially financially. Instead, practice appreciating - window shopping, so to speak. Whenever you feel "any sense of pressure, compulsion or 'must-ness'", take a breath, recenter yourself and remind yourself that the advertisers are doing their job, but you can still appreciate the beauty, goodness, awesomeness, etc. without funding their cause. This is where the skill of being content will help tremendously. As was shared last week, in episode #244, contentment can be felt everyday, all day, as contentment is not dependent upon external sources. And when we are able to be content, it becomes easier to 'like' versus 'want'. 10. Healthy Intimacy Begins with Healthy Personal Autonomy "Paradoxically, in order to get the most out of 'we', you need to stay centered in 'me'." Intimacy as it appears in our lives can be cultivated with mere acquaintences as well as a romantic partner of 50 years. As defined in the book, intimacy is "to make familiar or known". And the knowledge of self and security within oneself is the foundation. Because when you are confident that you are able to take care of yourself, you can step forward to be engaged with others, knowing your limits, knowing your boundaries. And if necessary, knowing that if the limits or boundaries are not respected, you can step back and take care of yourself well. With the relationshps you begin to build or relationships you are currently in, assess if you are able to do the following things: fully express your thoughts and feelings ask for what you want trust your judgment if others disagree with you stand up to others If you are unable or were unable in past relationships that no longer are a part of your life, you may recognize you do not have full personal autonomy in that particular relationship. These may be relationships you either now recognize need to be stepped away from as you now can pinpoint why they don't feel right, or, if it is only one of the items on the list, you have a specific focus you can bring up to try to improve the relationship. "Much as autonomy enables intimacy, intimacy supports autonomy. Close and nurturing relationships help a person feel safe and worthy as an individual, which promotes a confident independent. In a positive cycle, autonomy and intimacy feed each other. Together, they make you more resilient." Moving forward, keep these abilities in mind as you should be able to exercise all four in a healthy relationship as too should the other person with you in the relationship, thus embodying the paradox shared in the above quote. We often hear the word "resilence" uttered during times of strife or hardship, but the truth is, as Dr. Rick Hanson points out, strengthening the tool or skill of resilience can elevate the quality of our everyday lives in all of the good moments that we have as well. As is often discussed here on TSLL and on the podcast, our mind is an amazing mechanism, and to understand how it works, have patience with the rewiring process if we are choosing to do so, can yield awesome outcomes for our life, enriching the journey and lead us where we truly want to go. Petit Plaisir —On the Basis of Sex ~Felicity Jones stars as Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg and Armie Hammer stars as her husband Marty Ginsburg screenwriter Daniel Stiepleman is Ginsburg's nephew wrote the script which was then approved by Ginsburg's daughter, Jane, a prominent figure in the legal world and in the film as well - she is currently a professor of law at Columbia University Ginsburg was one of just nine women in the Class of 1956 The question posed to the 9 women at their welcome dinner by the dean, played by Sam Waterston was verbatim what was said. When Marty was diagnosised with testicular cancer during his third year of law school, Ruth did collect notes from his friends and typed up his essays as he dictated them—a process that often began near midnight. When he finished around 2 a.m., she would turn to her own coursework. Regarding the case - Moritz v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue - While the legal side of Moritz’s case is accurate, Ruth didn’t fly to Denver to meet with him. It was Marty who made first contact, and he didn’t do so face to face. According to Ginsburg herself, “We met Charles E. Moritz for the first time in the fall of 1971, the night before the argument. He took us to dinner in Denver. He had to hire a babysitter for his mother.” Source for more details regarding the film and history from Slate.com https://youtu.be/28dHbIR_NB4 https://youtu.be/tYH9KJ_T6XM

Are you feeling stuck in a stress mess, overwhelmed, and overstimulated by the demands of your life? Spread too thin and not prioritizing self-care because you feel like it's selfish when so many other people need your help? Well, let's stop for a moment.    How much can we really help others when we're just scraping by, ourselves? At the end of the day, we're only really worth as much as we can give, based on the energy we have in the time that we have.    I'm your host, Dr. Heidi Hanna, and in this stress mastery podcast, we're talking to the experts to find out what they do to use stress as fuel for success and what they do to shift stress in a positive way when they notice it getting out of control.    Because we're all human, we all get stuck sometimes and we can learn so much from each other when we take an honest look at the patterns that are hurting us, and create new patterns that will help us.    So, let's get ready to master stress together in today's conversation!    Key Takeaways:  [1:12] Dr. Hanna welcomes listeners and shares how she met this week's guest, Dr. Rick Hanson — neuroscientist, clinical psychologist, therapist, best-selling author, business consultant, meditation retreat leader and much more!  [3:09] Rick delves into what his new book Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness, is about.  [5:30] If well-being comes from resilience, where does resilience come from?  [7:19] Dr. Hanna asks Rick for a practical example of a quick and focused intervention to help the brain rewire itself.  [9:44] Rick talks about the way people learn and the way it ties into their sense of self-worth.  [11:32] Dr. Heidi moves the conversation to hear Rick's thoughts on the negativity bias which is a struggle that people are not talking about a lot.  [14:19] What to do about this stone-age brain of ours?  [15:07] Dr. Hanna touches on the importance of the challenge as a growth factor.  [17:09] The discussion on challenge brings Rick to open up about the challenging roots that brought about his new book.  [19:15] Dr. Hanna asks Rick why he thinks meditation is so helpful.  [23:26] Dr. Hanna thanks her friend and guest and wraps up the show until next week.    If you enjoyed this conversation, please be sure to subscribe now for exclusive listener gifts and check out the show notes for links, tips, tools, and techniques.    Until next time, please remember that stressing is a blessing, once you know how to use it for good. It gives us the energy and information to fuel positive change if we're brave enough to look into it, stay open and curious to what it has to teach us, and then adjust our patterns in a way that will give us even more capacity to cope and when. When we do that together, we increase the energy we have to bring to the time that we have and we're better together.

Kathryn interviews McGill University inter-sexual dialogue researcher Dr. Paul Nathanson, author of “Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Public Culture”. Thanks to the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, the field of “masculinities studies” has gained newfound exposure. Dr. Nathanson uses an extensive appendix of anti-male to show that in the past ten years, the pendulum has swung too far – arguing that we now live in an atmosphere that discriminates against men. Kathryn also interviews Dr. Rick Hanson, New York Times bestselling author of “Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness”. Psychologist Dr. Rick Hanson presents a scientifically grounded program for developing twelve inner strengths that foster lasting happiness in a changing and sometimes challenging world. Dr. Hanson is featured on BBC, CBS, and NPR.

With a fast rate of change and the pace at which we as individuals are evolving and society as a whole, turning the lens inward and cultivating inner strength is a venture worth pursuing if you want to be equipped to handle life's challenges and develop true self-reliance. My guest today, Rick Hanson, was on the show back on episode 059 to talk about his book Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love & Wisdom, and the work he does around understanding the natural tendencies of the brain and how to leverage that knowledge combined with practical neuroscience to create change. Today Rick is back on the show to dive into his book Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness. This book dives into the principles Rick teaches in his online course, Foundations of Well-Being, which has been practiced by around 15,000 students. It's a deep dive to building 12 inner strengths, which became the basis of this book. Resilient hits the shelves tomorrow March 27th and is already #1 in New Releases on Amazon. In this interview we will unpack some of the key distinction in Resilient and what it means to cultivate inner strengths while getting your needs met. In this episode you'll learn The true essence of self-reliance Why positive psychology is missing a few key pieces and where resilience bridges that gap The 3 Fundamental Needs - safety, satisfaction, and connection Achieving well-being through recognizing, resourcing, regulating, and relating Facing challenges while experiencing our needs being met vs. faces challenges while experiencing are needs not being met Why stress, uneasiness, panic and suffering can become a way of life for people and how they use it to meet their needs The fundamentals of what Rick calls the Red Zone and the Green Zone The difference between reacting and responding to adversity and meeting the next moment already feeling full and balanced inside and MORE...
