The Brain Scrub & Beyond Burnout
Burnout may lead to disease, anxiety, more stress, and disconnection from self and others. Years ago I lost my son to an alienating parent. I achieved burnout in the pursuit of my son and striving in being ’good enough’ and ’fitting in’. The Brain Scrub focuses on mental health and I share how I am coping during these unpredictable times by focusing on self-care, improvement and building community. My goal is to support you in living your best life by sharing what I have done during my journey as an alienated parent. This podcast explains my path to living a more authentic life by taking a courageous look at my self and focusing on what I can control, me. I am not an expert and the tools and techniques I share are based on my research, practice and ideas. For mental or physical health challenges, please seek the advice of a qualified practitioner. Absolutely seek professional help to deal with trauma, depression, personality disorders, etc. Support is out there - get it.

Need to say first of all, their are millions of Americans who this episode does not apply to and sorry for my harsh words. Key message is to make efforts to do what the republican leaders don't want you to do: Be a critical thinker. The party seems to thrive off the leveraging points of power, stupidity, and fear.

Yesterday was the day I saw evil in the eyes of top republican members. I can choose not to support these billionaires. Self-Interest doesn't create community and peace - it creates fear and unhealthy power. Bye Bye Facebook and Amazon Prime.

It's taken a lot of work, understanding, compassion and letting go of my fears - and I believe, thanks to all those out there that offer their stories and insights, I am one step closer to peace. Have a listen and reflect on how I am letting go of a future I want, but can't control or influence, so I am choosing a different path.

In many countries, efforts to change the family law system to one that treats alienation cases like a criminal case by identifying the facts, is not working. I hope this episode shines some light on what often hides in the shadow.

Right vs. wrong. What is right and what is wrong. Well, that depends on our mental model. We all have them and if we take the time to understand what they might be, we may all have a chance to build a stronger and sustainable global community. BTW, the museum that I couldn't remember the name of is Pearl Harbour.

The 2024 US election is an example of how people in power positions role model bullying - both sides. Yet, we are trying to teach our youth to not bully. Maybe, to bully, is to be human, and, we do have a choice. In this episode I address how I cleared the air with a bully in my life and my hope is you can do the same. To hate, is to carry negativity in our life, and clearly, most of us carry a lot of that around (As per scientific studies - "According to the National Science Foundation, 80% of our thoughts are negative and 95% of our thoughts are repetitive."

A big shout out to DW news and the amazing job they do in presenting the facts, not the fiction. They inspired today's episode as I watched a great video on Climate Change and why, despite our know how, things are getting worse, not better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK3wf_17hxY
This episode is how to get more motivated to commit to changing. All the best in your change efforts!

Most of our habits are created at a young age. Who teaches us...our care givers? Some of those ways of being with them may be creeping up now as an adult and could risk a healthy relationship. In this episode, I share a bit about my awareness about this.
