Letting go: For real this time. Part 1

This episode is based on the wonderful work of John Purkiss, author of "The Power of Letting Go". I will walk you through the steps to let go and my hope is that whatever is holding you back, no longer does. For me, it's my attachment to having a relationship with my son...for starters.

Transitioning our Identity

In this episode, I chat with a dear friend, Colleen, about the challenge of transitioning our identity whether due to retirement, work pressures or life circumstances. Colleen shares a bit about her challenges and what she has learned about living life in a powerful way.

Still trying to let go of that Alienated Child?

Recently I fell in love with the Youtube Channel "The Anti-Alienation Project". The young lady has a range of videos where she shares her perspective from that of an Alienated Child. She and a recent conversation inspired this episode.

Take time to listen - to you.

Busy? Feeling overwhelmed? Gadgets, social media, tv, video games, and the list goes on of what we spend our day listening to. What about taking the time to listen to you instead of searching for busyness outside of ourselves. 

Are you defensive?

Defensiveness destroys countless lives and relationships. Lower our defense system and we may create peace rather than fear. I believe a lack of an ability to be open and honest with people is creating the mental health crisis that is growing in our world. Fear is the root of all evil. 

Growing up with an alcoholic

Are you hypervigilant? This episode may explain why.

Our drive and loving our shoes

This is the final in the series based on the work of Dr. Paul Conti and the Huberman Lab. In this episode I put everything together in how the reflection work done so far leads to choice. We need to generate the choice and how does one do that? You are about to find out...

Self-Defense and the consequence

I am continuing to chat about the work of Doctor Paul Conti and my own journey of self-awareness. In this episode, I discuss our defense mechanisms and how they impact our behaviours.

Evaluating the trauma experience

Part 2 of this mini-series based on the work of Dr. Paul Conti, gets into better understanding our trauma and the beliefs it may have created. I touch on our defense mechanisms as well. By knowing this, we are better able to manage our automatic reactions.

Agency by getting conscious of the unconscious

The Huberman Lab Podcast continues to be a gift in my life. In the last three episodes, he interviewed Dr. Paul Conti about Mental Health and the power of self awareness. This is part 1 of a mini-series I will do that reflects on his work and how it can be applied to my behaviours and beliefs.
