Philippians 2:1-5, 2:14, 4:4-8 / March 31-April 2, 2025 The Nazis stripped Victor Frankl's life down to almost nothing. Once a renowned psychiatrist, Frankl was reduced to being a slave labourer at the notorious death camp Auschwitz. He could have seethed with hate and self-pity but, instead, Frankl realized that the Nazis could never steal, shape, or dictate his attitude.

Most businesses start with a bold “why,” but along the way, profits take over, and purpose fades into just another corporate slogan. Now, with ESG and purpose-driven business facing backlash, companies are backing away, fearing controversy and short-term losses. But the truth is that leaders who abandon purpose risk more than just bad PR; they lose trust, culture, and long-term success.In this episode of The Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari sits down with Thomas Eckschmidt to explore how organizations can evolve beyond profits, embrace conscious leadership, and create a culture of trust and impact—without sacrificing success. Thomas Eckschmidt is the co-founder of the Conscious Capitalism movement in Brazil and CEO of CBJ Conscious Business Journey, a global network driving conscious business transformation. A seasoned entrepreneur and advocate for Conscious Capitalism, he has launched multiple ventures, won 12 business awards, authored 11 books, and filed four patents. He also serves on corporate boards, helping organizations integrate conscious business practices.Things you will learn in this episode:• Understanding the Four Tenets of Conscious Capitalism• The Danger of Losing Your "Why" in Business• Ego vs. Ecosystem Leadership• The Power of Stakeholder Orientation• Reframing Business Success Beyond Just Profit• The Rise and Challenge of Conscious Capitalism• The Leadership Reset—Why This Matters NOWResources:✅• Thomas Eckschmidt's website: http://www.cbjourney.com/ • Creating Better Businesses for a Better World | Thomas Eckschmidt | TEDx: https://youtu.be/9Oqy8zywipU?si=GOnG6TCj7HFcBdeC • Harvard Global Leadership Development Study 2023: https://www.harvardbusiness.org/leadership-learning-insights/global-leadership-development-study/• The Conscious Business Activator: https://www.cbactivator.cc/ Books:✅• “Purpose Canvas for Business: Making it clear why we are in business” by Thomas Eckschmidt: https://a.co/d/gRYSAfy • Conscious Capitalism Field Guide (Harvard) co-authored by Thomas Eckschmidt: https://a.co/d/gRYSAfy • Shakti Leadership by Nilima Bhat and Rajendra Sisodia: https://a.co/d/3Vao9Ra • The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben: https://a.co/d/bSSr9nE• I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong: https://a.co/d/hIFnx7K • Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl: https://a.co/d/jiIH4Gk

Pourquoi certains réussissent malgré l'incertitude alors que d'autres échouent ?

Change as a constant threatens our ability to build resilience as HSPs. The key is to learn how to manage our HSP reactions to change so we can accept it more quickly and from there choose willingness to anchor into and use our HSP strengths to stay the course. This takes courage. It also takes conviction. Now more than ever, our unique HSP strengths as “royal advisorscourage of conviction” is needed in the world. We are being called to use our courage of conviction to navigate the world’s chaos for ourselves and those we serve. And also more than ever, being in aligned community, such as the Highly Sensitive Leadership Programs, is necessary in order to receive the support we each need to consciously become our own anchor. You have the privilege of agency to choose to receive that support and create your best year yet. In this week’s episode, I share two people who have been on my mind lately and who have greatly influenced my own journey of becoming my own anchor to maintain courage of conviction through constant change. I open up about the impact the loss of my mother at an early age had on me, and how my cousin’s loss of his mother two months later impacted him and how different choices led us each in very different directions. I also discuss how challenge and adversity present the unique opportunity to practice managing our reactions to change in order to strengthen self-esteem, self-trust, and self-security and keep us moving forward in heart guided inspired action. “I decided to consciously become my own anchor.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:53: How does loss drive HSP coping mechanisms 6:10: Who is Victor Frankl and why does his Logotherapy matter 9:59: How to see yourself as limitless 12:10: Ways to cope with change 15:4: How to ask for help and why “We are in a time of transition and as part of this transition, we are each being called upon to be the architect of our own destiny; to set your own anchor and embrace courage of conviction.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather's book DIFFERENT: http://www.differentthebook.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com/ Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/204

While shopping Wal-Mart, I recently listened to a podcast with Victor Frankl's grandson, Alexander Vesely. He discussed his Frankl's book Man's Search for Meaning, one of the greatest books of the 20th century. In response to a question about Frankl's most favorite quote, Vesely identified a frequent question that everyone asked his grandfather, "What is the meaning of life?" In this episode, I explore Frankl's response and why it resonated so much with me. Wal-mart is a powerful incubator to answering some of life's most pressing questions.

Sean is solo in the first episode of 2025 – he covers the frightening start of the year with the New Orleans and Las Vegas terrorist attacks, and the challenges that will face the Trump administration from the start. Terrorism will continue, Leftist radical Islam sympathizers will protest, and Democrat Attorneys General will sue. In a word, chaos. And, on the policy front, we see tension between tech bros and populist MAGA – Elon vs Bannon as evidenced by the recent dust-up about H1B visas. But there is good news! ASU Football is back! And in looking forward to 2025 Sean reminds listeners to follow the words of Victor Frankl and “to life [you] can only respond by being responsible.” Happy New Year!

If you want a better present, you need a bigger future. This principle from Victor Frankl's “Man's Search For Meaning” has been proven in positive psychology - to truly thrive in your present, you need something you're working toward. I came across this years ago when I had two little kids at home and felt aimless, with days dragging on. That's when I started developing my yearly vision practice, and it's become the single most transformative tool in my journey from surviving to thriving. In this week's episode, I'm walking you through the five steps of creating your vision for 2025 using the CREATE framework: Capture what happened (by reviewing the previous year) Rewrite your story (shifting from default negative stories to empowering ones) Envision the year (exploring possibilities in all areas of life) Assess your roles and foundation (who do you want to be in each role?) Think long-term and evaluate priorities (where are you heading?) Whether you're deep in survival mode and can barely think beyond today, or you're ready to dream big for your family's future, this framework will meet you exactly where you are. Your vision might be crystal clear or totally fuzzy right now - but either one is a perfect starting point. If you'd like to work through this with me, you can find the Create Your Vision Mini Course and workbook at thrivinginmotherhood.com/vision. These principles are also built into the 2025 Thriving in Motherhood Planner, but they work in any planning system you already love. I truly believe this practice can help you move from just surviving your days to finding more joy and purpose in motherhood. It has for me. We'll also be working through this together in the Thriving in Motherhood Collective if you'd like some community support along the way! You can join that HERE.

David Auge is a fascinating person who has been in the sustainability realm for a while now, so understands it on a much deeper level than some (possibly a lot) of us. So much so, that he just had a book published by the name of this episode - Man's Search for Sustainability. He talks about a book that he was inspired by, Man's Search for Meaning, by Victor Frankl.In his book, David focuses on bees and locusts - how we consider one more valuable than another, their differences and their strengths, and how they relate to sustainability - that is fascinating! Something I certainly never considered before, but I'm so glad David and I discussed it! These are David's words: "Sustainability is a normative term - one that describes a lot. As a result, it describes comparative choices in a journey - not an end point." It's about the journey, not the destination...

Molly Watts discusses the concept of "thinking on purpose" to manage stress and anxiety, particularly in the context of recent events like the US presidential election. She emphasizes the importance of pausing, breathing, and taking just 10 minutes to avoid immediate, reactive responses. Watts introduces the "PB and J" method: Pause and Ponder to interrupt automatic thoughts, Breathe to calm the nervous system, and Just 10 Minutes to allow emotions to fade. She also suggests a "thought download" to externalize anxious thoughts and evaluate their usefulness. Watts encourages listeners to practice these techniques to foster resilience and intentional thinking.Action Items[ ] Practice the "PB&J" technique when feeling anxious or overwhelmed by news or events.[ ] Try the "thought download" exercise to process anxious thoughts.[ ] Implement the strategies discussed during the upcoming holidays and other stressful periods.OutlineUnderstanding the Concept of Thinking on PurposeMolly Watts introduces the episode's focus on neuroscience, brain health, and mindset, particularly in the context of recent events like the US presidential election.She emphasizes the importance of thinking on purpose and harnessing the power of the pause to create space between stimuli and responses.Molly explains that default thinking during turbulent times often leads to anxious or pessimistic thoughts, which can be overwhelming.She highlights the need to choose our thoughts deliberately to avoid getting stuck in a negative thought spiral.The Power of Pause and Its Role in Managing StressMolly references Victor Frankl's quote about the space between stimulus and response, emphasizing the power to choose our responses.She discusses how the primitive brain can react to stressors like election news as if they were physical threats, leading to paper tiger paranoia.Molly introduces the PB and J method (Pause, Breathe, and Just 10 Minutes) as a tool to manage stress and emotional reactions.The first step, Pause and Ponder, involves interrupting automatic thoughts and observing them to engage the prefrontal cortex for logical decision-making.Deep Breathing and Its BenefitsMolly explains the importance of deep breathing in calming the nervous system and shifting the brain out of fight or flight mode.She guides listeners through a deep breathing exercise, emphasizing the relaxation it brings.Deep breathing helps in observing thoughts rather than being swept away by them, providing space for intentional responses.Molly encourages listeners to practice deep breathing to manage stress and emotional reactions effectively.The Role of Just 10 Minutes in Managing EmotionsThe J in PB and J stands for "Just 10 Minutes," which helps in managing powerful emotions or strong urges to react immediately.Molly advises allowing intense emotions to be present without acting on them, as they often fade with time.She suggests asking oneself what one really wants and what response will align with values during the 10-minute pause.This practice helps shift from a reactive mode to a more intentional, empowered mindset.Thought Downloads and Observing ThoughtsMolly introduces the concept of a thought download, where one writes down all anxious thoughts to observe them with distance.This practice helps in seeing thoughts as data and deciding if they are helpful or moving one forward.Molly emphasizes the importance of not censoring or judging thoughts during the thought download.By observing thoughts on paper, one can choose to let go of unhelpful thoughts and adopt new ones that support better responses.Visualizing the Space Between Stimulus and ResponseMolly encourages listeners to visualize the space between stimulus and response, as described by Viktor Frankl.She suggests picturing this space as a tangible buffer that can be created whenever needed.This visualization helps in managing overwhelm from news, social media, or conversations about stressful events.Molly emphasizes the importance of using this space for pausing, breathing, and reflecting to find freedom in choosing responses.Practicing Compassion and ClarityMolly highlights the importance of compassion for oneself and others during difficult times.The pause creates room for self-compassion and clarity about what truly matters.She encourages listeners to practice the PB and J method during stressful times, including the upcoming holidays.Molly emphasizes that the more one practices, the more natural the pause becomes, leading to thinking on purpose and managing stress effectively.Conclusion and EncouragementMolly concludes the episode by encouraging listeners to practice the PB and J method and other tools discussed.She reiterates the importance of creating space, managing the mind, and finding calm amidst a chaotic world.Molly signs off, wishing listeners well and looking forward to the next episode on Monday.She emphasizes the ongoing practice of managing stress and emotional reactions to show up as the best version of oneself. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode I breakdown the life lessons I learned from running my 4th Marathon, second this year! Overall I go through 4 things I learned that are life lessons for everyone, not just runners. One of the main lessons gained from this race was the importance of purpose. Victor Frankl said, "Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose." Such an important concept for life and for running. Do you have purpose in your goals and in your life? Listen in for the other things gained from this time through the 26.2!

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Dean Hall, a two-time cancer survivor and powerful advocate for holistic healing. Dean shares his remarkable journey back to health after facing life-threatening illnesses and explains why he considers himself a "bio-haver" rather than a biohacker. He opens up about the link between environmental toxins and disease, shedding light on the factors that may have contributed to his diagnoses. He also discusses the healing power of nature and cold therapy, two practices that played essential roles in his recovery. From hiking scenic trails to embracing cold water immersion, he reveals how reconnecting with the environment helped him find peace, resilience, and strength. This conversation dives into his unique perspective on health and wellness, offering listeners actionable insights and a reminder of the body's incredible capacity to heal.Dean is a licensed therapist and success coach with over 30 years of experience, a best-selling author and highly sought-after speaker, a two-time cancer survivor, and a two-time world record-setting extreme distance swimmer. He is the first person in history to swim the entire 187-mile length of Oregon's longest river, the Willamette River, (which he did as an active cancer patient) in 2014, and Ireland's longest river, the River Shannon (180 miles), in 2017.Dean's unexpected radical remission from his cancers as a result of his immersive adventures in nature inspired him to create his organization, The Wild Cure Way.

Do you acknowledge the choices you have?  You may not always have the choices that you wish you had, but you always have a choice.  Today Cinthia discussed what it means to take ownership of your life and the choices you have.  Acknowledging your own choices means giving up the option to blame others for the entire direction of your life (although it does not mean accepting blame for things that were not your fault -- In fact, sometimes one of the choices you have is whether to accept and affirm that someone else's choice was not your fault, however deeply it may have impacted you.).  Even people in very tragic situations (e.g., POWs) have choices within their situations, though those choices may be more limited.  Victor Frankl wrote about his experiences in German concentration camps; he observed that prisoners who chose to accept their situations but also find meaning in their suffering were more likely to survive the experience.  They chose not to accept full victimhood by owning the choices that were theirs; they did not fully surrender their internal freedoms, even when their outward freedoms were horribly taken away and their mental states were affected. When you choose to abdicate your own choices to others, this is also a choice.  For example, do you abdicate your mood to others, to society, etc.?  Think of all the choices you have in one day.  How many do you abdicate? Cinthia discussed the “Wise Choice Process” which involves using a template for the decision-making process.  What is your decision-making process?  How do you choose?  One example has the following steps, which Cinthia illustrated with an example from her own life (i.e., deciding what to do about her anorexia when she was younger): Define the problem. (This step impacts all the others.  It includes owning the problem and can sometimes be very uncomfortable. It requires acknowledging reality honestly, as well as separating the symptom from the underlying problem.  For example, Cinthia had to recognize that she needed to gain weight in order to stay alive and become healthy.  She also had to recognize that this was problem was actually a symptom of a much deeper problem, which was the hostile relationship she had with herself.  She did not feel good about herself and was very angry at her own body.  She was using food/weight loss to try to mimic feelings of self-worth, gain a sense of power over her own life, get accolades from some others, and manage family dynamics.) Identify limiting factors. (For Cinthia, these include her intense fear of gaining weight, the impossibility of being objective about her own body at that time, difficulty trusting others to help her, not liking various aspects of reality and wanting to create her own, reliance on anorexia nervosa as a kind of empowering friend, enjoyment of the positive social rewards she got from continued weight loss, her own self-talk, aversion to eating around others, etc.; on the other hand, the possibility of death from anorexia represented a much more permanent limitation, one she would encounter if she did not overcome the other limitations.) Develop potential alternatives. (This can involve brainstorming and may sometimes involve others. The proposed solutions may not be perfect but have some kind of potential to move you toward health, though it must also be acknowledge that quick solutions may not ultimately solve the real problem.  The discussion must focus on potential solutions to the specific problem, the real problem as identified in step 1.  For Cinthia, options included trying to fix the problem on her own, beginning to eat with trusted others, and going into treatment.) Analyze the alternatives. (This may involve getting more information about costs and benefits. It is also a good time to notice any resistance within yourself and what this may tell you about your attachment to the problem; as much as you may hate the problem, it may also be providing you with some benefit or meeting some underlying need that will need to be met in other ways if you make steps toward solving the problem.) Select the best alternative. (Again, you may not have a perfect alternative and may have to decide among imperfect options.) Implement the decision.   Cinthia discussed Adam and Eve as the human beings to make choices.  God gave them choices, allowing them free will.  Adam knew what he was doing even though he could not fully comprehend the outcome.  But God also made choices in response to their choices.  As Cinthia says, “We fell to hell, and God stopped the drop.”  He could have let it go, leaving us to our own destruction, but He did not.  Meanwhile, Adam's sin brought fear, the first negative feeling.  We were not originally designed for negative feelings.  God also experienced negative feelings in response to our choices, but He was willing to accept different feelings to be in relationship with us, much like parents are willing to feel feelings to have their children and be in relationship with them.  Adam's choice brought knowledge.  Knowledge is what brings fear and shame.  However, God continued to offer them the opportunity to make good choices with their knowledge.  Consider Deuteronomy 30:15-20.  He offers us life and death.  Sometimes our choices do not lead to immediate physical death but to the death of other things, like the dreams God has for us.  We need to repent when we choose death, taking responsibility for our choices and turning instead to God.  We can use our free will to submit our self-will to God's will so that He can undo the damage of our sin.  Consider also Ephesians 4:21-24.   Another decision-making model involves the following questions: What is my present situation? (What is and is not working? Am I ok with it?  We need to be truthful with ourselves.  Go for objectivity here.  Get feedback as necessary.  Consider dreams, hopes, necessities, experiments, absolutes, etc.) What would I like my situation to be? (What would be the perfect scenario?  It's ok to fantasize at this point. This is not a guaranteed outcome; it is a direction for your brain.) What choices/options do I have? What is the likely outcome of each option that I have? (You may need to get more information to answer this question.) Which choice(s) will I commit to doing? (Do not pick them all at once.  Limit the initial choices, but give them your all.  Remember that not all choices are mutually exclusive, but some are.) You can use your choices to pursue the dreams God has for you, the purposes for which He made you.  Sometimes our mistakes are just as valuable as our good decisions if they help us make better choices in the future.  You always have a choice and, therefore, have a lot more power than you may give yourself credit for.  Nobody really wants to change.  Actually doing it, however imperfectly, is something to be proud of.  It is owning your own life, and your life is a gift.

When we feel stuck or overwhelmed by society, how can we find joy and courage?Steven Tierney asks us to challenge the notion that we are stuck with no way out. He emphasizes that rather than avoid the difficult, we can find a way through by embracing Buddhist teachings and practices.This can include:Living with Intention:Drawing from Victor Frankl and Thich Nhat Hanh, he underscores the importance of embodying the teachings and living with intention.Joy and Bliss in Buddhist Practice:He examines the concept of the "jhanas" or advanced meditative states that lead to joy and bliss, cautioning against quick fixes or commercialized paths to spiritual fulfillment.Investigation and Self-Understanding:Emphasizing the importance of self-investigation (Dharma Vaya), Steven discusses how understanding our true selves, beyond societal expectations or prohibitions, is crucial for personal growth and finding joy.The Role of Courage:He also highlights the role of courage in living authentically and taking action in the world. Steven connects courage to joy, suggesting that joy naturally arises from deep self-understanding, while courage is needed to express this joy in the face of external challenges.Moving Through Pain:He encourages us to face pain fully, without becoming a victim of it, and move through it as a path to deeper understanding.______________Steven Tierney (Kai Po Koshin) is a Dharma transmitted teacher in the lineage of Suzuki Roshi. Steven has a new Sangha: Oceans Compassion Sangha and also practices with Gay Buddhist Fellowship, Meditation in Recovery at SFZC, Great Spirit Sangha, SFLGBTQA Sangha, and the Hartford Street Zen Center.Steven believes that we can find wisdom, compassion and awakening wherever good people come together for practice, healing, service and joy. Dr. Tierney is a psychotherapist in private practice and Professor Emeritus in Counseling Psychology at CIIS.He is a Certified Addiction Specialist and has been named a Diplomate in Clinical Mental Health by the American Mental Health Counselors Association.

Developing the freedom to choose how you respond to situations in life is a core part of building a growth mindset. A fixed mindset approach leaves you at the mercy of events in life that will make you angry or sad and blame your circumstances with no control from you. A growth mindset allows you to build the space to determine how you react in any situation and be the person you want to be rather than the person the world pushes you to be. To achieve that we examine: The nature of Free Will and desire The role of our consciousness as an observer and actor Unconscious thought processes and behaviours How to master control of our responses in any situation How to observe physical and mental pain with curiosity This episode touches on some very important concepts deep in the fabric of our experiencing self as a human being. By understanding internal processes we can better control our actions and outcomes in life. Sponsors:

 Another throwback episode.  Although just before the episode I share a short story of the miracle of the maueverability test.  Just had to share.  Then to the episode because I think we all could use a reminder about what it means to be proactive in life.   Enjoy!“Response - ability” the ability to choose your response. This week I talk about habit 1 - to be proactive from the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.  Being proactive has many different facets.  First I cover the unique human capability to have self-awareness.  Then thanks to the work of Victor Frankl the idea that between stimulus and response we have the ability to choose.  I share this idea that to be proactive includes being responsible - the ability to choose our response.  Then there are lots of other little ideas and ways we can think of being proactive.  First I mention being aware of our language.  The other concept within this habit I discuss is our circle of influence versus our circle of concern.  Then I briefly share the idea of the have's and the be's as well as moving toward being more proactive by keeping commitments to ourselves and to others.  With this concept we can  learn to be led by our values and character rather than our moods.  Come and listen as I share some stories about my calendar, my mom circle of influence and a walk a thon.  I would love to hear from you!

We continued with St. John's summary of discernment and its particular fruit in the spiritual life. However, it does not read like a summary. Each saying opens us up to a divine reality and a participation in the life of Christ that comes to us by grace and the ascetic life. One cannot help but be captivated by the beauty of what St. John describes. It becomes evident that what we are being drawn into is the very beauty of Christ and that of the kingdom. Grace has the capacity to transform even the darkest of things within us and to illuminate the mind and the heart to see clearly what has eternal value. With the reading of each saying one begins to experience a holy desire growing within the heart.

Welcome to Episode 39 of the QR Lab Podcast, where we delve into the irascible nature that resides within all of us. In today's society, anger often seems prevalent, but is it truly necessary? Is it justified, and does it serve as a productive force in accomplishing our goals? These questions prompt us to explore the complexities surrounding anger and its role in our lives. Join us in a thought-provoking dialogue as we examine the necessity and consequences of anger. Does the expression of anger contribute to achieving justice in society, or does it hinder our progress? We contemplate the wisdom of ancient prophets and modern thinkers alike, recognizing the strength not in succumbing to anger, but in mastering its restraint. Victor Frankl's profound insight reminds us that within the space between stimulus and response lies our freedom—a freedom to choose how we navigate our emotions, including anger. Yet, we cannot ignore the sobering truth that anger often leads to regret, prompting us to question its place in our lives. This episode is an invitation to explore the intricacies of human nature and the delicate balance required to navigate the turbulent waters of anger. As we delve into the depths of our irascible tendencies, we confront the challenge of harnessing this primal force while striving for greater emotional intelligence and inner peace.

Authentic Grief: Finding Meaning In Your After In this series of podcasts we want to address the topic of grief. Grief is something we all experience so we want to take an authentic look at this shared experience. David Kessler wrote a book as a 6th stage of grieving titled Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief. We will be recording this podcast series as an overview to this book and be inviting you to a conversation about grief and how we can approach it through meaning.  What is Grief? Grief is the response to the loss of something deemed important or essential, particularly to the loss of someone or something to which a bond or affection has been formed. Part I – Every Loss Has Meaning Chapter #1 What is Meaning? The person who sees death as sacred has found a way to find meaning in it. Pg 14 Kessler references Victor Frankl's cornerstone work, Man's Search for Meaning. Kessler says that this book is a beacon for those who wonder how meaning can emerge from tragedy… Frankl suggested that when we are faced with a situation that is hopeless and unchangeable, “we are challenged then to change ourselves”. When we make the choice to change ourselves, we can turn tragedy into an occasion for growth.  Pg 14 The hope that we find in individual situations of grief leads to a life full of meaning. As we move from one grief to the next, one disappointment to the next all the while we are challenged to change. Grief doesn't get smaller over time, we get bigger. Pg 15 Pain, death, and loss never feel good, but they're unavoidable in our lifetime. Yet the reality is posttraumatic growth happens more than posttraumatic stress. 15 Whenever you find it, meaning matters, and meaning heals. Pg15  Vision from the great Avengers of Marvel Comics says “What is grief, if not love persevering?” Chapter #2  Grief Must Be Witnessed Each person's grief is as unique as his or her fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining. Pg 29 Sitting shiva in Jewish culture seems to get the idea of grieving. For a time period of 3 to 7 days friends and family come to the mourners home and just sit with the people in grief. They say nothing unless they are spoken too. They are just present for the people that are grieving. This really is what grieving while having a witness is all about. Just being present. Just being seen. But in our hyper-busy world, grief has been minimized and sanitized. Pg 30 we have diluted it because it's scary to think about our own death. We like things we can control and we can control our busyness. We are very egocentric and attached to this life. We don't like not knowing exactly what awaits us in the next life.  Grief should unite us. It is a universal experience. 30 The act of witnessing someone's vulnerability can bring the person out of isolation if the witnessing is done without judgment. (Great theme statement for AMG) 31 Grief is what's going on inside of us, while mourning is what we do on the outside. Pg31  When people ask me how long they're going to grieve I ask them, “How long is your love one going to be dead?” That's how long. I don't mean you will be in pain forever but you will never forget that person. 31 Loss can become more meaningful-and more bearable- when reflected and reflected accurately, in another's eyes. 33 If the love is real, the grief is real pg. 34 Good interaction exercise – Have two people who are grieving stand facing each other and place their hands over their own hearts. Then look into each other's eyes and say, “I witness your grief, I see your healing.” This kind of witnessing of another's vulnerability can be very healing.  Pg 34 As I read this in the book I found myself tearing up when thinking of the grief I have experienced with others. My wife and I created A Grief Workshop for a large church that we served on staff with early in our careers. I wish that I would have known of this exercise when we were developing this workshop. How powerful to look into another's eyes and say, “I witness your grief, I see your healing.”  Something goes out of alignment when we try to avoid sadness and grief. 35 Life gives us pain. Our job is to experience it when it gets handed to us. Avoidance of loss has a cost. Having our pain seen and seeing the pain of others is a wonderful medicine for both body and soul. Pg 35 Life has peaks and valleys. It's our responsibility to be present for both. Pg 35 “The time will come when memory will bring a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eyes” That's how it goes, pain first, meaning later. Pg 41 Having grief witnessed is about making loss real. Pg 42 When we feel it, we release it and we can be free.  Pg 44  (My rephrasing– When we feel it, we can feel free to release it.) Funerals and memorials are important. Something profound happens when others see and hear and acknowledge our grief. Pg 44 Two things bring us together: 1. Love 2. Suffering Our children, just like us, need their pain witnessed, and a funeral is important to them. Pg 46 We are not meant to be islands of grief. The reality is that we heal as a tribe. Pg 47   We see this often in men's groups as men invite other men to connect with them by sharing their loss and grief openly.  Chapter #3 The Meaning of Death Without suffering and death, human life cannot be complete. Victor Frankl. Pg. 49 The death shapes the grief.  Pg 49 I often teach that in grief, pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Pg 51 Writing proves helpful in processing our grief  pg. 52  Journaling seems especially helpful in the processing of grief Kessler says that writing proves helpful in three ways: 1. It examines causes and consequences. People who write use more words and phrases like: because, understand, realize, and work through. When we examine writing we use our arm and our hand which is between our head, the center of our thoughts and our heart or out our gut (which in eastern thinking is the center of our emotions.) So by writing we are expressing our thoughts and our feelings. When we further examine this we also realize that writing engages the two hemispheres of our brain, the left hemisphere which is responsible for language and speech and the right hemisphere which plays a large part in the interpreting the visual information and spatial processing. So in writing it is rather like lining up the crosshairs of a scope. We bring into alignment thoughts and feelings and language and processing. 2. There is a shift in perspective. From I and me to he and she and then to us  It is important to remember there is not us and them. It is just us and we all experience grief.That which is most personal is most universal 3. Finding positive meaning in the traumatic experience.  The way we view death reflects how we look at life.  Death most often is thought of as a failure. Listen to how we speak of it: She succumbed to the illness, He lost the battle with cancer, and they didn't make it.  Pg55 Apparently, no matter how great our life, we are destined to fail in the end. That doesn't have to be our understanding of either life or death, however. Pg 56 Fear doesn't stop death. Fear does stop life, however, but it doesn't have to. If we allow ourselves to live with the consciousness of death, it will enrich us by making us understand how precious life is. Pg 56 But painful as it is, if we can view the approach of death as a reminder to us to value every moment, we can find new sources of meaning. Pg 58   Death makes life valuable.  Pg 58 This life is a limited time offer. Pg 58 My mantra is “What's meaningful?” I ask it all the time. Pg 60 What presence is worthy of my essence? What's meaningful can change our experience of imminent death… But for so many the last chapter of life is not the most interesting one, or the most important. We almost see it as a meaningless, “throwaway” part of life. Instead of using the precious time to complete relationships, to express our love, we allow the final chapter to become the series of medical issues to be conquered; a frantic search for a cure when one is no longer possible. Pg 62 Everything that lives must die. But while life has to end, love doesn't. Pg. 64 The end of your loved one's life is not the end of your relationships, since your love lives on. Pg 65 Instead of sitting in the room with their loved one staring at them when they are unconscious or sleeping try turning to face away from them so you can start practicing their presence without being able to rely on sight. Pg 65

Ever find yourself caught in the whirlwind of climbing the professional ladder, only to realize the view at the top brings its own set of vertigo-inducing challenges? I'm Sean, your battle-tested guide through the trenches of leadership growth. Today, I unfold my journey from a white belt in Jiu-Jitsu to blue belt, paralleling the experiences of clients who've stepped up to the daunting plate of senior leadership. We tackle the pressures and expectations that morph with every promotion, weighing the thrill of advancement against the burdens it can add to our shoulders. As your comrade-in-arms, I'll share strategies to keep the fire burning for your craft, even when the heat seems overwhelming.Navigating career transitions or belt advancements isn't just about sporting a new title; it's an emotional odyssey. From sharing the raw sting of being fired to the unforeseen benefits that surface from such trials, I dive headfirst into the emotional undercurrents that steer our courses. The journey prompts us to question our perceptions of success and the role setbacks play as inadvertent mentors. This episode isn't just about licking wounds; it's a clarion call to recognize opportunities clad in the guise of failure and a reminder that our greatest lessons often come at the price of our most challenging experiences.And what of the pressures that come from the outside world, those that sneak into our psyche and nudge us towards places we might not venture alone? I summon the wisdom of the legendary Victor Frankl to dissect the double-edged sword of external expectations and intrinsic values. As we ascend to new heights, the challenge lies not in shouldering the weight of responsibility but in balancing it with the weightlessness of joy that once drew us to our fields. Stick around for insights on harnessing the power of focus to navigate the maze of post-promotion life, ensuring your professional evolution is as rewarding as it is relentless.Are you an executive, entrepreneur, or combat veteran looking to overcome subconscious blind spots and limiting messaging to unlock your highest performance? Feel free to reach out to Sean at Reload Coaching and Consulting.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, I got the chance to be in-studio here in Pensacola, Florida with my two guests and local Floridians: Justin Otto, host of the Dharma Junkie podcast, founder and instructor of Gulf Coast Dharma, childhood cancer survivor, former addict, and current wonderful human being; and Max Komes, licensed yoga instructor, operator of Clarity Wellness Collective, student wrapping up his Masters in Psychology, and also a current wonderful human being! In this conversation, we peel back the layers of psychology and physical health a bit, discussing the mind-body connection in a way that seeks to dispel some of the New Age half truths that are really ancient wisdom taken out of context. We get into yoga, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and also discuss the psychologies of Carl Jung and Victor Frankl in the context of the mind-body connection. Among the ailments of this physical spirituality, we bring up debilitating bodily pains and even conditions like cancer (no, not astrological conditions!) And, as a final cherry on top, we take the time to get into the potential religious "superpowers" that esoteric circles of Buddhist monks are said to gain as byproducts of their enlightenment process, with certain a caveat: you must never use them to placate your ego, which basically means that you can't use them intentionally or they are said to disappear. Very curious, and definitely some black hoodie shit! Justin helps us navigate this more. All this and more this week! We hope you dig it.

What if art and beauty were the most potent tools for evangelizing in the 21st century? Join me as we explore this intriguing concept with Emily and Isaac Gay, founders of Parallel Society. Through personal anecdotes and insights, Emily and Isaac shed light on the transformative power of artistry - how the triad of goodness, truth, and beauty can point to the divine. They highlight how their journey as artists led to the realization that artists can be today's evangelists, communicating gospel truths through their work.We don't just stop at understanding the potential of artists, we dive right into the role they play in society. Emily and Isaac elaborate on how artists, often undervalued within the church, have their fingers on the pulse of culture, shaping ideologies, impacting legislation, and education. Referencing insights from Vaclav Havel, the former Czech Republic president, they underline the power artists wield in shaping a nation's heart. Together, we envision a future where artists are nurtured both within and outside the church, enabling them to reach the lost.Our discussion takes a fascinating turn towards the power of art and beauty, especially in times of crisis, using real-life examples such as a video of a woman playing the violin in a Ukrainian war bomb shelter. We reflect on the importance of imagination and creativity in maintaining our humanity in the face of adversity, inspired by the experiences of Victor Frankl in a concentration camp. As we wrap up, we peek into the future of faith-based art, discussing how it can embody Christ's ethic and morality, and the potential for artists of faith in the future.

There are people who are coming to your life and they leave for just a season. And if you make the mistake of thinking that and opening your heart up too much to somebody who doesn't deserve that part of you. Then you're, you're opening yourself up to getting hurt."  - Keith Kalfas Topics Covered:  Impact of external circumstances and internal responses on personal and business growth.

Nick Shaw, an executive coach who has faced the unimaginable sorrow of losing a child, joins James to discuss his profound journey and the insights he shares in his book My Teacher, My Son: Lessons on Life, Loss, and Love. This conversation is not just about coping with grief but about the transformative lessons that can emerge from it. Shaw's reflections offer a poignant look at how personal loss can inform and deepen one's approach to life and work.Shaw's narrative begins with a day that turned from idyllic to tragic, resulting in the loss of his nine-year-old son, William. In the throes of mourning, Shaw experienced a moment of revelation: his son had been his teacher all along, imparting wisdom that would carry him forward. "My Teacher, My Son" is more than Shaw's memoir—it's a guidebook for anyone grappling with the complexities of being present, letting go, and seeking connection in the wake of loss.Throughout the episode, we explore the themes of resilience, the search for meaning, and the ways in which tragedy can illuminate our most significant life lessons.Shaw's experiences as a father and coach converge, providing unique insights into embracing life's unpredictability with grace and fortitude.
