We discuss Japan's unique health culture, the downside of misleading supplements, how “victim mentality” is holding people back, and why simple nutrition advice often gets overlooked.

Asking questions such as, what does it mean to carry a home, a history, a language, a legacy, and a lineage.Julianknxx's work merges his poetic practice with films and performance; he engages in a form of existential inquiry that at once seeks to find ways of expressing the ineffable realities of human experiences while examining the structures through which we live.In casting his own practice as a ‘living archive' or an ‘history from below', Julianknxx draws on West African traditions of oral history to reframe how we construct both local and global perspectives. He does this through a body of work that challenges fixed ideas of identity and unravels linear Western historical and socio-political narratives, attempting to reconcile how it feels to exist primarily in liminal spaces. In the episode, Julian reflects on his transition from poetry to incorporating film and performance in his artistic practice. He shares how influences from his West African heritage and personal experiences led him to explore new mediums that could encapsulate his narratives more holistically. He delves into his project for Sharjah Biennial 16, inspired by a dancer named Dorothée Munyaneza, who performed a ritual dance reflecting on her grandmother.-------------------------------------------------------------------- WHERE YOU CAN FOLLOW ME AND SUBSCRIBE Instagram - Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sadeolo/https://www.instagram.com/lightworkcompany/ YouTube - Subscribe to my YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/@lightworkco Website - Sign up for my newsletter https://lightworkco.com/

In this insightful episode of The Write Place Podcast, host Wayne Kelly welcomes historical fiction author Karen Heenan for her third appearance on the show. Karen shares her journey from being traditionally published with a small press to becoming a successful self-published author with multiple series under her belt. She discusses the challenges and rewards of indie publishing, offering valuable insights into book marketing, cover design, and Amazon advertising.Karen's latest novel, French Lessons, is the newest entry point into her Ava & Claire series, which originally followed a family in 1930s Philadelphia. This new instalment shifts the focus to Pearl, the eldest daughter, as she embarks on a long-awaited adventure in post-war Paris. However, the reality of a city still recovering from occupation is vastly different from her romanticised expectations, making for a compelling “fish-out-of-water” story.Beyond discussing her writing process, Karen reflects on the learning curve of self-publishing, from regaining her rights from a small press to finding the right cover designer to attract her ideal readers. She details how advertising—particularly on Amazon and through BookBub deals—has played a crucial role in increasing her book sales, helping her achieve an impressive $47,000 in royalties last year—a significant leap from the previous year.For authors considering the indie path, Karen offers encouraging advice: self-publishing doesn't mean giving up on traditional publishing; instead, it provides flexibility, control, and the opportunity to build a sustainable writing career on your own terms.She also shares the book that saved her life, which deeply resonated with her as a child and helped shape her understanding of the emotional power of fiction.This episode is packed with practical tips, industry insights, and inspiration for writers at all stages of their careers.

Dr. Cheryl, how can I be happier in my circumstances? Why is my anxiety so overpowering?  How can I stop obsessing about the future? What's the cause of happiness? Could you be happier in a prison than you'd be in a monastery? And if we're accepting where we are, no matter good or bad, doesn't that mean that we're free?  Today's episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants features a Dharma Talk centered around suffering and why so much of our mental hardships are a choice that we make. Have you ever felt at times like you can't get out of an emotional state of anxiety or worry? Even when you know that much of it is a story and a lot of it is casting worry about the future? Even when you know that it's something you'll be able to pivot and cope through? If you've answered yes, there's no reason to be ashamed. There are times when we all fall prey to thinking like this.  In This Episode, You Will Learn: This too shall pass (06:11) Whether your in prison or paradise, your attitude is your choice (28:24) We all have self-imposed labels that stop us from being free (30:54) Beliefs are simply understandings that make sense based on what we currently know (47:37) We often find ourselves in the prison of the past or the prison of the future (51:29] Want to learn more about Buddhism and relationships?

Dr. Cheryl, how can I learn to sincerely apologize? Should I be worried that my partner and I fight?  How can I make up with my partner after we argue? Imagine I install a camera in your home and record everything you say to your partner for a week—would you be comfortable sharing that footage with your nearest and dearest? The good, the bad, and the ugly? Or would you be ashamed and embarrassed at how you speak and interact with your sweetheart, especially in times of anger or frustration? Human beings in relationships are going to have disagreements—that's a fact of life. It sounds harsh, but if most people actually recorded themselves for a week and listened back to the way they spoke to their partner, they would be very disappointed in themselves. The trick is to make sure you and your honey both have the tools to have disagreements that aren't destructive - disagreements that actually help bring you closer together. I know, right? In this throwback episode, I talk about why a sincere vow to do better is one of the most important tools in your relationship arsenal, and why a mindful apology is an art in and of itself. I teach you the value of what I call “do-over. This love hack  is super   beneficial when you're arguing with your sweetie. In fact, I'll show you  how you can start practicing the technique today. Speaking kindly and thoughtfully to your partner is an integral part of a successful relationship. We can't just sit back and wait for our relationships to become fabulous and earth-shattering—we're responsible for creating that ourselves...  In This Episode, You Will Learn: If you're just sitting around and waiting for passion—good luck with that! YOU are responsible for creating a great relationship.  (04:26) When you're agitated, your body floods with adrenaline and cortisol, creating temporary aggression and irrationality (06:24) The opposite of kind speech is ugly speech. This includes name-calling, swearing at one another, and using absolute language. (09:50) If you're in a relationship with a real, live human being who's not six feet under, you're going to have disagreements… and that's totally fine.  (12:45) Don't make excuses—apologize like a mofo.

In this conversation, Andreea Tamas and Jason Marc Campbell dive into the transformative concept of 'Selling with Love.' They explore the emotional barriers many face in sales, the importance of mindset, and the ethical considerations of selling. Jason shares his journey and insights on how to overcome limiting beliefs, the significance of understanding the client's needs, and the necessity of exposure therapy in developing sales skills. The discussion emphasizes that selling is not just a transaction but an energy exchange that should be rooted in empathy and self-love. Takeaways Selling can be a transformative, life-enhancing activity. Many people have negative beliefs about sales due to past experiences. Mindset is crucial in overcoming fears related to selling. Sales should be viewed as an energy exchange, not manipulation. Understanding the client's needs is essential for effective selling. Exposure therapy helps in overcoming the fear of selling. Reframing sales as a skill can alleviate anxiety. Self-trust and confidence are key to successful selling. Sales techniques can be learned through practice and feedback.

If you want coaching from me on your hormones this month is your best bet to sign up for 1:1 or group coaching at this linkWe're back for round 2 of the birth control and informed consent series and today I'm going to deep dive on the copper IUD. It's the MOST effective form of birth control with only a 0.6% failure rate, and it's not hormonal...but does that mean it doesn't affect hormones at all? As you may have guessed, anything that you put in your body is going to affect more than just one body system so I'm going through the way the copper IUD works, how it affects your hormones, minerals, liver, and body as a whole, and I'm even talking about how you can support your body if you decide that the copper IUD is the best choice for you. Birth control is such a personal choice and I would love to help you make an informed decision that fits your needs, so share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it and keep coming back the rest of the month as we talk about different birth control options and how to support your body through birth control use and how to recover/replenish when you're coming off of birth control.

How can I fall in love with them again?” “I'm constantly annoyed by my partner, is it time to break up?” “Why is my sweetheart always doing things to piss me off?!” Think about a negative thought you've had about your partner—one that you might not be so eager to share publicly. Maybe they were late for a meaningful dinner, maybe they neglected an important chore, or maybe they even forgot about your anniversary… You were probably pretty irritated, right? But what if I were to tell you that it's all about the way you react?

Want to rate your relationship on the three keys to great long term love? Take the Passion Quiz. Today's episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants is one of my favorites from the early days of the podcast. In it, I talk about why a sincere vow to do better is one of the most important tools in your relationship arsenal, and why a mindful apology is an art in and of itself.  If I installed a camera in your home and recorded everything you said to your partner for a week—would you be comfortable sharing that footage with your nearest and dearest? The good, the bad, and the ugly? Or would you be ashamed and embarrassed at how you speak and interact with your sweetheart, especially in times of anger or frustration? Human beings in relationships are going to have disagreements—that's a fact of life. It sounds harsh, but if most people actually recorded themselves for a week and listened back to the way they spoke to their partner, they would be very disappointed in themselves. The trick is to make sure you and your honey both have the tools to have disagreements that aren't destructive—disagreements that actually help bring you closer together. I know, right? In This Episode, You Will Learn: YOU are responsible for creating a great relationship (04:26) When you're agitated, your body floods with adrenaline and cortisol, creating temporary aggression and irrationality (06:24) The opposite of kind speech is ugly speech (09:50) If you're in a relationship with a real, live human being, you're going to have disagreements… and that's totally fine.

The definition for a sexless relationship is one where sex is had six or fewer times per year. That means that if you're making love but it's only once every two months or so, you and your sweetheart are in what is defined as a “sexless” or “lower sex” relationship.  On today's episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants, I'm teaching you all about sexless relationships and the solutions out there that can work for you.  Many of you may have not made love for years… And that's way more common than you think. One of the biggest problems is that no one talks about it, so we end up having a lot of shame, embarrassment, and confusion around those changes instead of finding a solution that works for our relationship.  In this episode, you'll learn: We're so busy running our lives that we often lose each other (03:53) Make your sensual life a priority—especially if you're in a long term relationship (10:33) Sometimes, we get so good at running our lives like a business that we know longer see our partner as a sexual being (11:48) The idea of scheduled intimacy doesn't sound romantic but it just may save your sex life (14:41) Today's LoveByte (23:06) Have questions about meditation or about your relationship?
