PROSTATE PROS Series Finale On the last episode of the PROSTATE PROS podcast, Dr. Scholz and Liz recap important themes and talk about what’s new in prostate cancer, including Lutetium-177 and Orgovyx. Dr. Scholz: [00:03] We’re guiding you to treatment success and avoiding prostate cancer pitfalls. I’m your host, Dr. Mark Scholz. Liz: [00:09] And I’m your cohost, Liz Graves. Dr. Scholz: [00:13] Welcome to the PROSTATE PROS podcast. Liz: [00:15] We have a bit of a sad announcement to make, as this will be the last episode of the PROSTATE PROS podcast. Dr. Scholz and I have really enjoyed working on this project and we’ve covered so many important topics surrounding prostate cancer and men’s health. So for this last episode, we’re going to recap some important themes and talk about some promising new therapies. So Dr. Scholz, on our very first episode, we talked about how important it is to find the right treatment team. This is something that’s come up again and again and again. What are some tips you have for newly diagnosed men trying to find their doctors? Dr. Scholz: [00:53] I think what’s confusing is how much of the responsibility falls on the shoulders of patients. The prostate industry is a very powerful multi-billion dollar industry, and there is a lot happening really fast. When patients are diagnosed, they’re not in a thoughtful perspective, they’re in an action mode, they’re frightened. It is hard to sort out who to listen to and who to stay away from. This process can be aided by family members, primary care doctors, oncologists, and of course, online resources and books. I try to provide some of that information in the book, The Key to Prostate Cancer, but the process, if it was easy, we could give you one simple answer. It is not a simple process. Liz: [01:46] One thing that we’ve talked about is to get a quarterback. So this is a doctor that isn’t the treating doctor necessarily, but it’s someone that will oversee the treatment and work with the other teams of doctors. This is something I hear you doing Dr. Scholz, you’re always talking to other doctors about patients and kind of networking with them to make sure that the patient is getting the best care, even when they’re not in our office. Dr. Scholz: [02:12] I think the issue that you’re relating to is that many of these physicians have a conflict of interest. You’re asking them, what should I do? But they’re a surgeon or they’re a radiation doctor. And as a medical oncologist, I’m neither of the above. This is somewhat uncommon, but you can recruit your urologist or your radiation doctor to help you by explaining at the outset that, “you, sir, will not be my treating doctor, but I definitely need your aid and your assistance in picking the right doctor.” Liz: [02:43] Now you may be thinking that you have cancer and you don’t have time to see all these people, but as we’ve mentioned, prostate cancer is slow growing. So really taking that time to find the right doctor for you is crucial. Dr. Scholz: [02:56] Just yesterday, I saw a very sophisticated new patient who was feeling the rush job, the sense that the clock is ticking, and he did have a Gleason 9. We consider that the High-Risk category of prostate cancer. But, the idea that you have to make a decision within days or weeks is never substantiated by the literature and the science. Patients can take several months to sort out what they want to do. This sort of careful thoughtful process pays off in the long-term with better results. Liz: [03:29] So patients really need to take it under their control. One of the things is to educate themselves. In the past couple of years, there’s been a huge shift towards imaging. So we’ve had the approval of the PSMA PET scan and using 3T MP MRIs and color Doppler to help men diagnose their prostate cancer and watch it. Dr. Scholz: [03:51] What Elizabeth is referring to is that if you don’t have a clear picture of where the cancer is and whether it’s spread outside the gland, what part of the gland it’s located in, it’s not feasible to tailor treatment to the specific needs of the individual. Some men are fortunate enough to have prostate cancers residing on one side of their gland. This opens the door to something called focal therapy, enabling men to undergo treatment with less risk of erectile dysfunction. There were a lot of things we could have covered in this last podcast and the reminder that quality imaging and not only MRI and PSMA PET scans, but scans done at centers of excellence that are read by experts are going to help men be light years ahead in their selection of treatment, because they’ll have a clear picture of what they’re really treating. Liz: [04:43] So we’ve actually gotten emails from people all across the country saying, you know, my doctor’s never heard of the PSMA PET scan or my doctor doesn’t do 3T imaging. So it is really important that you take the time to educate yourself and bring these questions to your doctors. Finding the right treatment team and doing your due diligence to make sure you’re choosing the right treatment is all important because of where the prostate is located. Treatment related side effects can have damaging effects on quality of life. Because prostate cancer is so slow growing, hopefully you’ll have a very long life, so it’s important that that can be lived to the best of your ability. Dr. Scholz: [05:25] That’s so, so important. And these functions, sexual, urinary functions are something that people face every day of their life. In the hustle bustle to get treatment quickly, the fact that if the treatment is not done in an ideal way, that men can be left with permanent issues unnecessarily, certainly if there was no other option, we would live with these negative consequences. But, in most cases now with skillful care, these things can be avoided. Liz: [05:58] Over the past two years, Dr. Scholz and I have covered all the treatment options from active surveillance to surgery, radiation chemotherapy. These episodes will still be available even after the podcast ends, you can go back and re-listen and keep sharing with friends and educating yourself. Dr. Scholz: [06:16] One thing about this information provided in the podcast is not only the idea of which treatment is best and what kind of things to look out for, but the step by step process, the thinking process, the procedures, and how you can come to get the right doctors and the right treatment is implicit in the whole podcast system that we have provided. So you can also just learn from the thought process that leads to successful outcomes. Liz: [06:49] While there are a lot of challenges that newly diagnosed patients face, patients with advanced prostate cancer also are missing out on some tools like Xgeva and Prolia. Dr. Scholz: [07:01] These medicines are to help compensate for men who have disease that’s spread to their bones or men who’ve been on hormone treatment and the calcium is leaching out, a process called osteoporosis. The number of times this is overlooked and people coming to us for second opinions is really quite surprising, as they are FDA approved to help compensate for these problems. So simple second opinions can be so valuable for men, even if they have advanced disease. Liz: [07:35] As we segue into what’s coming up and what’s new in prostate cancer, we wanted to quickly mention that there are a lot of new drugs and things being tested for FDA approval through clinical trials. Clinical trials are a great way to get access to these new medications, if you have a specialist on your team who is constantly looking out for these and keeping tabs on what’s coming up. Dr. Scholz: [08:03] Every new medicine or treatment goes through a process of being researched. Once it’s validated as a treatment, it gets FDA approved. And then after that, it becomes commercialized and broadly available across the country. The things that succeed through that process are very valuable. And we’ll be talking about a Lutetium-177 and a new pill called Orgovyx. These medicines have been available, but now are commercially available. If your physician is not staying abreast of all the new developments, men who could benefit from these treatments will be denied access simply through unawareness. Liz: [08:43] Lutetium-177 is something that we’ve talked about on past podcasts. And it’s not even FDA approved yet, but you’ve actually had some patients who have had it, is that correct? Dr. Scholz: [08:57] Lutetium-177 a was purchased by a Novartis pharmaceuticals for $2 billion prior to all the testing being completed because all the preliminary data looks so favorable recently, they released the code for the large clinical trial that was performed confirming that it does prolong survival. This is a medicine that was evaluated in men with very advanced prostate cancer who had already had chemotherapy who had been on other powerful hormone treatments and they’d stopped working. The man who got treated with Lutetium-177 lived longer, statistically significantly longer, than the men who got an alternative, placebo-type approach. This medicine is well tolerated. It can cause some dryness of people’s mouths. It can lower blood counts a little bit, but it’s a simple injection every six weeks. And it is a potent treatment for men with advanced disease. It may even be a useful treatment for men with earlier stage disease. This will probably be commercially available within a year. Liz: [10:05] To learn more about this medicine, we covered it in Episode 10, Don’t Reject Radiation. So you can go back and listen to that. At the end of 2020, there was a new FDA approval Orgovyx. This is an oral anti-androgen, so it works kind of like a Lupron, but instead of it being an injection, it’s just a daily pill. Dr. Scholz: [10:28] So how much do we really need a new pill? When if you could take an injection that lasts three to six months, and you don’t have to remember taking pills every day, but Orgovyx may have some other advantages when compared to head to head with Lupron and the other medicines like Lupron, such as Firmagon and Trelstar, Eligard, and Zoladex. These medicines all work by shutting down the production of testosterone in a man’s testicles. Orgovyx is interesting for two reasons. One is that the recovery of testosterone when treatment is stopped, seems to be much more predictable and consistent medicines like Lupron, and the others that I mentioned, can have a very protracted and prolonged effect even after they’re stopped, and it’s hard to predict when testosterone is going to return. Another thing that came out in Orgovyx trials was a lower incidence of cardiovascular complications. For years, I’ve made a strong argument that Lupron and other drugs do not cause cardiovascular problems directly, but indirectly in men who have a lot of weight gain, blood pressure goes up, blood sugars start to go out of control. Of course these things can lead to cardiovascular problems, but for some reason, in that randomized trial Orgovyx had a lower incidence of cardiovascular related issues. This is certainly an interesting and potential advantage for this medication. Liz: [11:56] Technology and medicine around prostate cancer is improving almost daily. And one of the things that’s really promising is immunotherapy. We talked about this on Episode 9, The Intelligence of Immunotherapy, and we cover all sorts of different things that will benefit men with prostate cancer, like KEYTRUDA and OPDIVO YERVOY. So if you’re interested in learning more about immunotherapy Episode 9 is a great place to start. Making this podcast has been such a rewarding experience for Dr. Scholz and I, and we really hope that it’s helped you on your prostate cancer journey. And we’ve left you with a little more education and knowledge and empowered you to take control of your prostate cancer diagnosis and spend time really learning about it and understanding, so you can have your medicine personalized to you. You can find the right doctors, seek second opinions, and then take everything you’ve learned to spread awareness about prostate cancer. Remember prostate cancer is a silent disease and it affects so many men and families and loved ones. This really needs to be something that people are comfortable talking about. So we hope our podcast has helped give you some points to talk about with your friends and family members and help them make those treatment decisions. Dr. Scholz: [13:26] So Kaili, my business manager and myself are very grateful to Liz for all the hard work she’s done in compiling these episodes and helping us reach the things that really count. It’s been quite a bit of work along the way, which has been a delight to participate in for me. Liz, can you just share a couple of sentences of where you think you’re going to be going with your own professional career as you’re moving on? Liz: [13:51] Yes. I am actually pursuing higher education to become a professional writer. I am looking forward to it, but I’m definitely sad that I won’t be working with you and bringing this podcast to everyone. I know I’ve had so much fun learning about prostate cancer and hopefully being able to help all of our listeners navigate this subject. Again, these episodes have been archived, so you can go back and listen to all twenty-four of them on podcast.prostateoncology.com, or Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, wherever you like to listen. Another good tip is that the PCRI’s YouTube videos come out every week. These are awesome videos that talk all about prostate cancer. Dr. Scholz is a very frequent guest on there, so I would highly recommend you check that out. You can find them at youtube.com/thePCRI. Thank you for listening and supporting us.

In this Episode, Kyle sits down with Elizabeth Nielson and Ingmar Gorman, Co-founders of Fluence, Training in Psychedelic Integration. They are both therapists on the MAPS clinical trial for MDMA Assisted Psychotherapy for PTSD. 3 Key Points: Elizabeth and Ingmar are co-founders of Fluence, an online Psychedelic Integration Training program. If psychedelic treatments become available more widely, the fear is that therapists won't be as educated on how to handle their patient interactions based on the behavior of each psychedelic. Psychedelic Integration Therapy Training is so important. There are 3 phases to the MDMA for PTSD clinical trial. Phase 1 would be pre-clinical data about the chemistry of a drug, Phase 2 is where you begin to test your treatment in a patient population, and Phase 3 is where you get the data to demonstrate that the treatment is superior to a placebo and other treatments in general.

Navigating Psychedelics Show Notes About Ingmar Ingmar is a previous guest of the show He is a private Investigator for the MAPS MDMA trial He is a therapist and the Co-founder of Fluence About Elizabeth Elizabeth is a Clinical Psychologist She has a long history in working with clinical trials as a therapist She is part of the psychedelic education and continuing care program She does a lot of supervision and training for therapists The Trial The approval of expanded access by the FDA includes 50 people in total They are near the end of MAP 1 (out of MAP 1 and MAP 2) When they transition into MAP 2, it will be a little more refined MAP 2 is different participants than MAP 1 There are 3 phases Phase 1 would be pre-clinical data about chemistry of a drug and how it metabolises, if its poisonous, etc Phase 2 is where you begin to test your treatment in a patient population Phase 3 is where you get the data to demonstrate that the treatment is superior to a placebo and other treatments in general They are done as a double-blind trial, both the therapist and patient don't know if the patient is receiving the treatment or now Take-aways There is a lot of information that has to be shared effectively The therapists are very much in the lives of the participants on top of just the MDMA Instead of learning from the trials of what to do on a practical level, its about inspiring them to bring this as an actual treatment for people The multiple ways that PTSD can manifest and look like, and the may ways that MDMA can look like when administered, have some commonalities The deepening, the broadening, the way they communicate, can all be the same Ingmar holds the belief in the inner healing intelligence of all people One of the first things he does when he begins with a new patient, he says that this is something he really believes in, and his role as a therapist to help them in their own healing process and mechanism What Elizabeth wanted to learn, know and practice while she was going through school, isn't what she she thought it was until she found it She says this work really requires them to trust people's minds and experiences There is something that they tell their patients, “Don't get ahead of the medicine” - Elizabeth There is an interesting paradox between not knowing and following intuition, to having an actual method and following that There is a sweet spot between following a script to following your intuition as a therapist You want to trust that inner healer process of the patient, but also need to know when to intervene (usually from a safety standpoint) Fluence 3 days after Horizons, Elizabeth was at home with a cold, and talked to Ingmar that morning curious for a name for the project Fluence means, magical or mystical power or source of power It can also refer to the density of particles of energy They teach about harm reduction and integration with their patients in their practice They aren't teaching protocols in the workshops, they just think the harm reduction is important The last part of integration is mindfulness Ingmar’s biggest influence are his clients and patients, he is so inspired by them A large piece of the motivation for creating Fluence is from patients just looking for someone to talk about their experience with The Why A mother whose teenage daughter with depression, reached out to Ingmar with trouble trying to treat her depression The family decided it would be a good idea to use Ketamine therapy, which was successful She was doing so well, so well that she then went to a therapist to integrate it The therapist that she went to then instead of responding positively, decided to fire the teen for further therapy, and report the parents to child care services for providing ketamine therapy Ingmar says their position is not that everyone needs psychedelic integration therapy, its specifically for those that don't feel supported by family or community, and it gives them a professional service as an option "Psychedelics are not 10 years of change in one night, they are 10 years of insight in one night. integration is so important." - Elizabeth The goal is to support people in making a change that feels safe and right for them If the treatments become available more widely, the fear is that therapists won't be as educated on how to handle their patient interactions based on the behavior of each psychedelic Mental health practitioners can be a great source for working through those experiences Menla Training Menla Training They could really take their time with the process and training The trainings that they had gone to has made their own Fluence courses better In 2019 they had 5 of the trainings for clinicians, and the trainings will be better and better as they go Ketamine Infusion Therapy The experience is not dose dependent The purpose of the workshop is to educate both therapists and doctors about what can happen in psychotherapy Links Fluence Psychedelics 101 and 102 Workshop at ICPR 2020 About Elizabeth Dr. Elizabeth Nielson is a co-founder of Fluence and a psychologist with a focus on developing psychedelic medicines as empirically supported treatments for PTSD, substance use problems, and mood disorders.

Elizabeth started her career in reporting and quickly moved on to corporate communications, where she felt that she was making a difference for the employees. She then worked for many tech companies as a B2B marketer. After being visited by the layoff fairy for the third time, Elizabeth went to plan B, which was consulting at the intersection of HR and marketing. We talk about why we stick around in terrible workplaces, the three things you should never admit you're good at (writing for one), and the daily sausage fest that is the automotive industry (whether you're in engineering or marketing, interestingly enough). We also discuss the issues with billable hours, how to get off that treadmill and the fallout of years in a toxic, stress-filled work environment. Finally, we share questions you can ask yourself now to determine what good work is and whether the price you're paying personally is worth the paycheque.

It's Not About the Food: Intuitive Eating, Anti-Diet, Body Positivity with Dr. Stefani Reinold
How our childhood affects our relationship with food and our bodies is an important discussion. It's no secret that for many of us, childhood is where we first heard words that our bodies weren't good enough or that we couldn't trust ourselves around food. And it can be more paramount in families with other "dysfunctional" elements and brokenness. This week I'm talking with my friend, Elizabeth Oates. Elizabeth is an author, speaker, and mother of 5 who is passionate about helping women ditch the guilt and embrace freedom. After growing up in a broken family herself, she found real freedom beyond her childhood pains and wants to now spread that same truth to others. She wrote the book, Mending Broken Branches: When God Reclaims Your Dysfunctional Family Tree, and she is also podcast host of the show, Asking for a Friend. In this interview, we discuss: What Elizabeth's definition of "dysfunction" is How Elizabeth's dysfunctional childhood affected her relationship with food and her body How her lack of a father figure affected her childhood How her spiritual life transformed her healing The differences between shame around food and shame with exercise---> some really interesting lightbulb moments for ya here!

I’ve been waiting to interview Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada for a while. She has her finger on the pulse of our nation and planet when it comes to all of the positive changes going on around us. From my perspective she is keyed into them by her awareness of what's needed to pull us back into environmental balance. In this show I was astonished to realize that Canadians are being kept in the closet about how other countries are farther along and considerably more determined with their progress with turning climate issues around. On one hand I felt really grateful that other countries are so committed to saving our planet. On the other it made me question why Canada is so far behind with our own progress. What we discuss on this show: - The profound changes Elizabeth is witnessing on the planet and why Canadians haven’t been privileged to what’s going on - How each of us can help effect change on the planet - How Big corporate industries are giving instructions to people in the Prime Minister’s office- What Elizabeth would do with parliament if she became Prime Minister- How this Environmental Emergency is turning us all into Global citizens To learn more about Elizabeth and her Party you can go to: GreenParty.ca
Who is Elizabeth Burr: Elizabeth is a Scorpio with serious rising and an actress from NYC where she made her professional debut cross-dressing at age 9 as her fathers' son in Joseph Papp”s critically acclaimed production oh CORIOLANUS (her father in the title role). She has worked theatrically off-Broadway, regionally, and done two soap operas as a regular. Both A-list features she worked on were flops which was tragic considering they were with Garry Marshall and Warren Beatty. She”d been hoping either of those two might guarantee more successful films. Oh well. Like every other actor, she is still available for hire. So despite working stage tv and screen, she remains relatively unknown except to some daytime fans who remember her copious tears she’d daily on ABC or NBC Favorite Career Highlight: JT Walsh said I was a great actress. What Elizabeth learned about Bella: A deeper love of Bella Abzug and a how much she rocked Who is Bella Abzug: Bella Savitzky Abzug, nicknamed "Battling Bella", was an American lawyer, U.S. Representative, social activist and a leader of the Women's Movement. In 1971, Abzug joined other leading feminists such as Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm, and Betty Friedan to found the National Women's Political Caucus.

Elizabeth has a compelling story to tell that will resonate with many of you. Key Takeaways: [1:04] Marc welcomes you to Episode 109 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast. 2018 was a year of disruption and clarification for Marc personally and regarding where he wants to take his business and this podcast. Marc will be making some changes to Career Pivot and to the Repurpose Your Career podcast in the very near future. [1:43] In next week’s podcast, Marc will review the results of the 2018 Repurpose Your Career Podcast Survey and the changes he will be making. Almost 60 people provided their input. Marc says thank you. That is double the number of participants over the previous year. The downloads have also doubled or tripled. [2:04] This week, after this episode is published, Marc will publish a Career Pivot blog reader survey and discuss how Career Pivot will evolve in the coming year. If you actively read the Career Pivot blog, please take a moment and take the survey. [2:21] Marc is recording this intro on New Year’s Day, 2019. Marc and his wife have permanently relocated to Ajijic, Mexico. Their Austin condo has been rented. The Millers have greatly simplified their lives and drastically reduced their expenses, all while improving their mental and physical health. [2:48] Looking forward 18 months ago, this is not what the Millers would have expected. Marc will share more on that, next week. [3:00] This week, Marc has a great interview with Elizabeth White, author of Fifty-Five, Underemployed, and Faking Normal: Your Guide to a Better Life. Marc shares her bio. [4:24] Marc will be publishing two separate book reviews of Elizabeth’s book in the coming weeks, written by two members of the Career Pivot Community. One, to be published on January 7, almost simultaneously with the podcast and the other will publish in a few weeks. The book’s official release date is January 8, 2019. [4:49] Marc especially loved Elizabeth White’s story about her relationship with Elijah, and how that relationship gave her perspective. Marc hopes you will enjoy this interview and pick up a copy of her book. [5:04] Marc welcomes Elizabeth White to the podcast and invites her to share her compelling story. [5:24] No one aspires to be the poster child for ‘Broke and Near-broke Boulevard.’ Elizabeth landed there, as many people do, through an event. For some it could be job loss, medical diagnosis, divorce, or something that sets a ‘before-X’ and ‘after-X’ mark in your life. [6:18] During the Great Recession, Elizabeth lost two really good consultancies within six months. Elizabeth was in her mid-fifties with a great employment and education background, but her phone never rang. She used to have a network that would let her hear about jobs before they posted but most of her network was retired. [7:30] Elizabeth wrote an essay describing what it felt like to land there, going from choice of careers to downward mobility. Weeks turned into months and months turned into years where she was getting little, short assignments, but nothing near earning what she was accustomed to earn. [8:08] Elizabeth started to notice that friends were going through the same experience and they talked with each other. The essay she wrote talked about what it was like to be part of the ‘formerly’ and ‘used to be.’ Elizabeth sent it around and it made its way onto the PBS Facebook page. Within three days it had 11K likes and 1K comments. [8:46] The comments were from people saying, this is my story, my husband's story or my daughter’s story. How come we’re not having this conversation? Elizabeth read every comment and she was astonished at the universal reach of her story. [9:08] Elizabeth had the background to look at the data. She was shocked at the magnitude of the retirement income crisis. We’re not talking about it. People sent her long emails messages with story after story of older people who felt like they had done everything right, got jettisoned from the workforce, and could not get back in. [10:05] Elizabeth met with some people who were in the D.C. area or were passing through. Some became friends. Elizabeth started to look more into what was happening to people. She couldn’t find the book that she wanted to read. She didn’t want a dense, scholarly tome but a story from somebody who was having this lived experience. [10:44] Elizabeth wrote her book in the model of standing at her back fence, talking to her neighbor about what it means to land here. She understood that the cavalry was not coming and there would be no big rescue to address these millions of people who landed there. [11:14] The median savings for near-retirees 55 to 64 is $15,000. The middle 40% of earners in that category have $60,000 saved. People talk about the longevity bonus, which is that people in good health in their early 60s have easily another 20 years of life. $15K to $60K doesn’t stretch to cover for 20 years. [12:10] Economist Teresa Ghilarducci says 40% of middle-class near-retirees are looking at poverty and near-poverty conditions in old age. These are not irresponsible ‘bad apples’ who’ve landed here. These are not the marginalized, chronic poor. These are people who are OK and are now looking at downward mobility. [12:59] Boomers do not have pensions. Boomers are in an ‘I don’t want you’ job market. Boomers are looking at escalating costs in housing and healthcare and facing $1.5 trillion in education debt. [13:24] So, why is all the conversation around retirement ‘happy talk’? We hear cool reinvention stories when the truth is that millions of people are trying to figure out how they are going to make ends connect to support themselves over the next 20 years. [14:03] Marc came up with ‘career pivot’ because you don’t go from being an engineer to a pastry chef. You make incremental changes. Marc formed his online community for everyone who feels alone in their circumstances. Boomers were raised not to talk about employment. When they graduated, if they couldn’t get a job, they were ‘screwups.’ [14:51] Elizabeth talks about ‘resilience circles’ as she mentions in her book. What saved her, during the worst part of it, was having a small group of people she could tell the truth to, and not fake normal. She had one friend with whom she would trade $300 back and forth when she or her friend had the need. [15:39] Elizabeth and her friend would play a game of ‘top this,’ comparing their money woes. The worst tale of woe won. Elizabeth appreciated having someone to listen to her difficulties. A group started meeting, not only to share stories but also to share information about community and agency resources. [17:04] A resilience circle helps you not to be alone. When you face burdens alone, you’ll get ‘full up’ of emotion. If you don’t have a circle to share it with first, that emotion will leak out of you in a job interview or a meeting about an opportunity and the person interviewing you will sense there is something there that they don’t want on their team. [18:01] The resilience circle allows you to vent and get some of your frustration and upset out of your system so you don’t leak it where it’s not appropriate to leak it. [18:21] Elizabeth suggests that if you are not comfortable announcing to your friendship circle that you are in this situation, look for a nearby library that could work with you to organize a community resilience circle. Or see if your church has a group that is getting out of debt, or setting financial goals together. [19:37] Elizabeth says, you’re going to have some bad days. You’re going to feel despair. You’re going to have some people that you thought were going to help you, not help you and it’s going to rock you. [20:01] When you’ve lost confidence, you’ll need someone to remind you who you are, what you know, and what you can bring. You’re not going to always be able to pull that out of yourself. In this period, when you are without a map and without a net, you are going to need old-school community. [20:47] Elizabeth has some great stories. She talks about her story of Elijah that she included in the book. She had coffee with him the day of this interview. She had seen him for years around town. He is always barefoot, except for flip-flops he wears when he goes into shops. He always wears cut-off jeans. [22:01] Elizabeth wanted to know his story. In a park she found him and they started a conversation. Elijah suggested they get together and Elizabeth was intrigued. She suggested The Potter’s House. What Elizabeth liked was his freedom from striving. He heard Elizabeth’s story about her rough stretch and gave her a ‘soft place to land.’ [23:52] Elizabeth and Elijah started meeting regularly. Elijah could ‘go off the grid’ in his ideas. Elizabeth will say, “Elijah, I can’t go with you there,’ and he accepts that. Mostly, he’s right there with her. [24:47] In a rough period, Elizabeth needed to borrow from him. She was telling her situation and he told her he was in a position to help. She borrowed $2,500, feeling a combination of gratitude and shame. Looking at him, he was not a guy who could help. [25:29] Her shame came from realizing that for most of her life, she had been in a position where she could help. She thought of the people she had looked at without seeing, such as a friend eating at a restaurant with her, not being able to afford more than a soup and a starter, putting $7 of gas in their SUV or going without a haircut. [26:35] Elizabeth thought of the times she could have easily picked up their meal and didn’t offer. [26:46] Elijah has Veteran’s benefits and he is not homeless but he lives very modestly and spends no money on clothes. He came to her mother’s family Christmas dinner in Bermuda shorts, a shirt, and sandals. He was welcomed there. Elizabeth meets him for a couple of hours close to once a month or six weeks. [29:07] Marc suggests that Elijah is one of the people who doesn’t judge Elizabeth and she doesn’t judge him. Marc talks about Making Stuff Up disorder. Elizabeth felt ‘seen,’ not for her credentials or her successes but for herself. [30:15] Elizabeth shares about the holiday season where there are expectations about things you would do, or donate to, or how much a dinner with friends will cost. It can be a minefield. It is exhausting to evaluate everything against its affordability. She visited a friend recently and they just sat together for six hours. She fell asleep on her couch. [32:00] Elizabeth had a green apple and her friend had some nut spread and a bottle of wine and they shared it and watched a movie. It was comforting for them to know each other’s ‘walk she’s on.’ Elizabeth has a few friends who are ‘right here’ where she is. They have become an extended resilience circle. [32:35] Every now and then you will not be included in something because everyone knows you cannot afford it. She doesn’t have words to describe how that feels. You don’t feel sorry for yourself and you don’t want them to feel sorry for you. Elizabeth lost her mother this year, so she is a little more sensitive to things.[34:27] Maybe you used to be able to cover an ice cream cone for your grandchild or take them to a movie but now you have to ask your son or daughter to pay for it; maybe you cannot help with your mother’s nursing home expenses. The ‘money piece’ is harder during the holiday season. [35:08] Marc frustrates people who want to know what to get him for Christmas. Nothing — he is done accumulating stuff! In moving to Mexico he just got rid of all of it! His self-worth is not related to the stuff he has. [35:44] In the second half of Elizabeth’s book she talks a lot about different ways of living in the second half of life, from health to living arrangements, to living more affordably into our nineties. Marc asks Elizabeth to share some thoughts. [36:08] While Elizabeth was writing, a friend, doing her hair, told her the book better not be a talkathon! She told her to include information and resources. Elizabeth wanted to make sure that this book was chock-a-block full of resources. [36:39] The biggest expenditure for most of us, after healthcare, is housing. After housing, many people can ‘extreme coupon it’ the rest of the way. So Elizabeth covers housing options, from tiny houses, co-housing, other shared housing, multi-generational housing, to moving to Mexico where they could live on their Social Security income. [37:45] Choosing housing is a process of determining your space needs. Can you keep up your current home or is it time to consider other options? A lot of Boomers are living by themselves and are isolated. Maybe, to make ends meet, more of us are going to have to start thinking about living together. [38:57] Elizabeth has included a lot of resources about home sharing, including security checks and credit checks. [39:55] In some ways, the book wrote itself. It was her conversations with lots of people who have landed where she’s landed, and how they improvised and figured it out. They shared their experiences of flourishing and floundering. Boomers are the first generation that will live this long lifespan, both healthy and active. [40:36] There are no rules, role models, or roadmaps, yet for how to make the money stretch. There are no policies or supportive networks, yet. We are figuring this out as we go along. What can we learn from each other? The government’s not doing a lot. [40:56] How are we, who are living this, making this work on housing, on income, on how we navigate with our friends and family? [41:08] Marc says, you are not going to do this alone. You are not alone. Yes, we are making this stuff up as we go along. We’re improvising. [41:25] Marc just finished reading Elizabeth’s book and there are some great stories in it. It officially comes out on January 8, 2019. It will be available on Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Elizabeth’s contact information is in the back of the book. She likes to hear from people. Also, reach Elizabeth at FakingNormal@Yahoo.com. [42:33] Through this writing process, Elizabeth has made some very good friends who reached out to her. Elizabeth has formed ‘a family’ and she wants you to form a family of support, as well. This book is a tool to help you do that. [43:07] Marc thanks Elizabeth for being on the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Marc hopes you will consider getting her book and also passing it along to a friend. [43:31] Susan Lahey and Marc are working on the next edition of Repurpose Your Career, and Marc is looking for your help. Marc is forming a release team of readers who will get access to pre-release chapters of the book to provide feedback. [43:45] By the time this podcast episode is published, Marc will have released the first chapter to the release team. You can be part of this team by going to CareerPivot.com/RYCTeam where you can sign up. [44:03] When you sign up, you’ll receive the pre-release versions of chapters when they become available. What Marc asks in return is that you provide feedback and be prepared to write a review on Amazon.com when the book is released. [44:17] Marc and Susan are adding around eight new chapters to the book and re-writing several others. Marc will release a new pre-release chapter on the podcast and to the team every few months. [44:34] The CareerPivot.com/Community website has become a valuable resource for almost 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project.

“It’s not what happens to you that defines who you are, it’s ultimately your decisions.” - Elizabeth Smart There are a lot of heartbreaking things that happen in this world. I’m sure you have your own stories. Being a victim doesn’t end with the event. It continues on for a lifetime. In the end, you have no control over what happened to you. There’s no going back. What you do have control over is the decisions you make on the other side -- how you let these tragedies affect you. You need to not only stay strong but also learn to forgive. When I say this, I say it from personal experience. I have gone through abuse when I was younger, and I understand how it can disrupt you to your core. But forgiveness isn’t for them. It’s for you. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened is ok. It doesn’t mean you let go of what happened and consider everything to be just fine. It doesn’t eliminate what happened. Forgiveness is about allowing yourself to move forward as a better person. It’s about growing, rather than letting these events disrupt your life anymore. It’s about becoming stronger and learning from the situation to help others. There is no one who knows this better than today’s guest on The School of Greatness: Elizabeth Smart. If you haven’t heard of Elizabeth Smart, she was kidnapped by complete strangers at the age of 14 and held captive for 9 months. She endured nearly every terrible thing you can imagine. Today, Elizabeth is a NYT best-selling author and has dedicated her life to bringing empowerment to survivors and awareness to these crimes. On this episode, we discuss the biggest lessons she’s learned about forgiveness, her definition of hope, the importance of owning your story, and the biggest lesson she learned from her captors. Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 629. What’s been the biggest lesson about forgiveness for you? (6:23) If you could go back to that day would you wish it didn’t happen, or do you feel like you’re better off because of what you learned? (10:42) What was the feeling when you saw your family for the first time? (12:32) Do you feel like you’re still healing today? (16:20) What if you feel there is no hope? (17:32) Does someone who commits these crimes have no hope for a meaningful life? (19:26) Is there anything that you’ve given up hope on? (25:03) Do you believe in people? (27:42) What’s the reason to keep going when things are dark? (29:18) If what we go through doesn’t define us, what does define us? (32:09) How long it took Elizabeth to forgive and move on (9:46) The biggest fear for Elizabeth during her abduction (12:00) What gave her hope while being held captive (14:13) Her definition of hope now (16:46) The difference between a collective community having hope and a single person having hope (24:38) How people can be more educated to not commit these crimes (25:52) What Elizabeth wishes more people would do about owning our own stories (28:12) The biggest lesson that she learned from her captors (29:35) Plus much more...
