Parenting Today's Teens With Mark Gregston

#2185



Sometimes a healthy pursuit can have unhealthy manifestations. Like trying to belong and fit in.



Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.



When your teen seeks personal validation from peers… this isn’t inherently bad. It may look like rebellion to you. It may lead to inappropriate behaviors. And some strange choices in clothing and music at times. But in reality, your teen is just a little off track.



So …how do you steer a kid that’s headed in the wrong direction?



Well, let your child’s choices teach him the truth. If he looks like a dork, he sounds like an idiot, he acts like a jerk… eventually… he can’t continue in that direction without facing deeper trouble.



Let him face those consequences without rescuing him. That’ll do more to change his future behavior than anything you can ever say. Failure is an irreplaceable education for living in the real world!

A Little Off Track

#575 – Student Story: Alexa



Ever wonder why your son or daughter hangs around with a questionable group of friends? 



Are you worried that your teen is being dragged down by his peers? 



This weekend on Parenting Today’s Teens, Mark Gregston helps parents make sense of their child’s choice of friends and protect their teen from choosing the wrong crowd.

WEEKEND: What If Your Teen’s Friends Are Bad News?

#2184



I work with troubled kids. Teens who’ve lost their way. And their parents often ask me what to do when their teen is arrested.



Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.



Well… I believe in allowing a child to own the consequences of his behavior. I believe it’s best to not bail a kid out right away… especially if he truly deserved being arrested in the first place.



It’s a tough decision, but letting your child sit for a day or two in jail may be the lesson that’s needed. And correction at a younger age is far better than imprisonment for a lifetime as an adult.



Think about it. Jail time might just speak to your son or daughter louder than you ever could! It’ll bring a sobering sense of reality to the choices… and consequences!

Jail Time

#2183



When you have an older teen spinning out of control and not responding to your discipline… it may mean you have a very important choice before you. You can let that teen stay at home and wreak havoc in the household. Or… you can ask him to leave.



Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.



It’s a difficult decision. But parents shouldn’t allow one out- of- control teen to destroy the good things going for the rest of the family. Sometimes the best option for an older teen is to release them. Let them go.



And as parents, we should pray for their growth and development in the world… in ways they weren’t grasping at home.



Scary. Yes. But sometimes a child won’t listen to our advice …until he gets to the end of himself.

Leaving Home

#2182



At Heartlight… our residential counseling center for troubled teens… one of my jobs is to repair the horse fences. I need to ensure that the boundaries are strong.



Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.



These sensitive… and sometimes stubborn… creatures need to know where they can go, and where they can’t. If a horse breaks any part of a fence, I fix it. When they constantly push on the fence to the point it becomes weak… I reinforce it with stronger wood.



Well, personal boundaries are like good fences… they offer protection and help define what’s good.



Establishing …and constantly reinforcing… strong boundaries with your teen will insure that even if they push their limits, they won’t get lost, or tread into unknown and dangerous territory.



So mom … dad … keep buildin’ and protecting those fences! Some day …your kids will thank you.

Good Fences

Parenting Today’s Teens

I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. Words so many love to say, but very few know how to live. Only those that are truly dedicated and disciplined truly achieve the mastering of their fate and become the captain of their souls.


WARRIOR WEEK is the cornerstone experience of the ...

"Dustin Luce, and his wife, Emily, are Coach Sam’s special guests in this episode of Warrior Week: Parables From the Pit."  Parable #1: Intro to Warrior   Garrett’s provocative ads caught Dustin’s attention and introduced him to the world of Warrior. He purchased WarriorBook in the fall of 2017,  joined KingsKit in the summer of 2018, and attended WCON3 in December of that year. Upon attending WCON3, Dustin quickly realized this was not going to be a “normal” conference.  “It was an immersion that was scary and mesmerizing at the same time. I was thinking this is not normal AND I’m hungry for it!” As he received the invite to attend Warrior Week, Dustin felt he needed to do it, but at the same time was really nervous about stepping forward into it. “I’ve never spent that much money on myself – EVER – and I had never stepped out and made myself that uncomfortable.”   What was your initial response to Garrett’s ads and presence?   Parable #2: Warrior Week  Dustin describes day one as an explosion of sorts. Amidst the chaos, he knew he needed to trust the process. “Walking into it, I was shaking, not knowing what to expect. There was fear as well as certainty as we were led into a place of not being able to hide. That day could’ve been a week.” Dustin received a personal message from the Voice on day two. “We were on the beach where we had just finished crawling a mile through the sand on legs that were bleeding. We huddled up as brothers, looking out on the ocean. As I leaned back into the arms of one of the coaches, with all the brothers’ hands on my heart, it was simply a realization that I AM ENOUGH.”   What message have you received from the Voice recently?  Parable #3: From Euphoria to Drifting  Coming out of Warrior Week, Dustin experienced euphoria. Suddenly he was wide awake! It was as if he had never had there for his family, and then all of a sudden, he was. Emily explains, “There was a distinct change. He loved on his family; he wanted to know about all of us and wanted to have detailed conversations with us. He was so hungry to get to know us.” Many people believe that when they arrive at a place where life is good, they’ve essentially “arrived.” However, life will always be filled with challenges that lead to constant expansion. “That feeling [of euphoria] can drift away, and that’s where the daily work is necessary. If you don’t do that and are not plugged in, and are not part of a brotherhood to challenge you and call you out, it does go away.”   What is your daily routine that keeps the fire within burning?  Parable #4: Numb From the Hunt  At church recently, the Voice shared a message with Dustin. “Men hunt for the bacon, but in the process, they lose the thing they were supposedly fighting for. They are numb from the hunt. We’re building this empire, but then we lose our family in the process. How does that make any sense? I am building the canister and filling it. I’ve been awoken, and now I must train and equip.” “Your children are arrows in your quiver. As parents, we can only go so far. Our goal is to shoot them as far as we possibly can. The question becomes, how can I train daily, not for me but for my kids? How can I equip them to go so much further than I can?”   What are you doing to train your children?  Parable #5: Isolation  Coach Sam explains, “In a world filled with technology that connects us, we are actually very disconnected. When it comes to social media, so many are sucked into that vortex that creates doubt and fear in the game of constant comparison. And within a window of five seconds, you can receive a message from someone that can completely make you feel worse.” Many parents are sucked into the social media vortex and, as a result, avoid their children. “Your head is in this world [social media]. It’s today’s reality. On one side, it connects us; it’s beautiful. On the other side, it keeps us apart. COVID and all of the restrictions are reinforcing this isolation.”   What can you do to create more connection vs. isolation?   “Parables From The Pit”  “There’s only one thing that is a cure for ‘numb from the hunt,’ which is awareness, aka, awaken and remember. Being aware of the fact that men are numb, they must remind themselves of their priorities, and realize they are constantly going to be going up and down. It’s in that up and down process that men actually move up.”   –Sam Falsafi  “I’m seeing a massive level of certainty and confidence moving forward. It’s a baseline that’s positioned where we have every opportunity in front of us. It’s not coming from a place of lack; it’s coming from a place of growth.”  — Dustin Luce  “We’re ending this year on a really positive note of growth. It’s very disturbing what’s going on in the world, but we’re not entering 2021 depressed; we’re already steamrolling forward.”  –Emily Luce

ARROWS In Your QUIVER | Warrior Week: Parables From The Pit | EP 104

"Matt Edmundson, Warrior Week 61graduate, and his sixteen-year-old son, Kade, join Coach Sam Falsafi in this special episode of Warrior Week: Parables From the Pit."  Parable #1: The Gates Of Warrior   In 2018, Matt found himself in a dark place, blaming everyone for everything that was going ‘wrong’ in his life. It was at that time he bought WarriorBook, read it cover to cover, and tried living the Warrior’s Way by himself. He was also listening to the Warrior On Fire podcast with his family, but when it was brought in-house only, Matt lost his fire and was back to square one. Whereas Matt was first turned off by Garrett’s message, he began identifying with Garrett’s life experience of trying to find a path, improve himself, constantly learning, and then bumping into walls. Matt found he was always trying to do things by himself, his pride and ego getting in the way of asking for help.    What was your first intro to Warrior? How did you respond?   Parable #2: What Is Required?  The Warrior Week experience came across to Matt as an intense boot camp experience.  He wasn’t in a good place physically at that time and was not interested in intentionally “beating myself up.”  Matt realized he was avoiding what was necessary to move forward. “I want what’s on the other side, but I’m not willing to do what’s required  to get there.”   Where in your world do you avoid that which you know will help move you forward?  Parable #3: Conditions to Conclusions   Coach Sam reminds us that we all have different current conditions, aka, one might be overweight, another might be lost or have an addiction, etc. Many people fall into a belief their current condition is the way things will ALWAYS be, not realizing that their current conditions do not define their entire life experience. “So many men just ‘conclude.’ This shit went wrong, so I must be an idiot, I must not be worth it, I must be evil. We are so quick to place labels on ourselves.“ The reality is, the stories we run in our minds create our circumstances, whether it be freedom or self-made prisons.   What are the beliefs you hold onto around your current conditions?  Parable #4: Before & After Warrior Week  Balance was the reason Matt initially came to Warrior Week but he quickly discovered the real reason was that he was lacking a connection to God. “During my life, I had been leading with my brain and had been rewarded for that. It was during Warrior Week that I surrendered my brain, and connected to my heart.” After Warrior Week, Matt thought he would have all his shit figured out and have all the answers. But the first day back into his regular environment, he felt like he had never left. “Everything around me collapsed right back to who I was.”   What was your experience after Warrior Week?  Parable #5: The Sixteen-Year-Old World  Kade shared what he views as the current 16 year-old-prison. “There’s a lot of pressure with social media and how everyone portrays their life as amazing, which causes us to question our own life.” Kade knows he must answer the questions: Who am I? What is my purpose in the world? What am I put here to do? What do I want to be? And inside of the current COVID restrictions, he must put himself in the right position to succeed and find his own way, rather than sedate all day.    What can you do to assist your teens inside of the current world conditions?   “Parables From The Pit”  “Our current condition doesn’t define the conclusion.”   –Sam Falsafi  “Without judgment, there is a level of acceptance that we all have our shit, and we’re all a bit crazy. But within Warrior, we can all envision a future self that is bigger and better, and are committed to trying to find the way forward to achieve what that is…and continue leveling up.”  — Matt Edmundson  “…as like a seed of doubt, right now, some kids will just go home and play video games all day, and not deal with the world. Or, a lot of other people just don’t talk about it and internalize it.”  –Kade Edmundson, 16

CURRENT CONDITIONS Do Not Define CONCLUSIONS | Warrior Week: Parables From The Pit | EP 103

Welcome to a very special episode of Warrior Week: Parables from the Pit with Coach Sam and Warrior Week 57 graduate Marc Beauchamp.    Parable #1: Retire vs. The Next Challenge     Marc’s first immersion into living the Warrior’s Way came via KingsKit 2 in 2018. At the time, life appeared successful from the outside looking in, yet Marc was bored and had no new challenges going on in his life. He wanted to get his fire back.  It was during WC3 where he felt the push to apply for Warrior Week. “I was 55 and running a large payment-processing company. One day my wife said, “We’ve got it made, we’ll retire and travel…” But Marc was far from that place and was ready to climb the next hill in front of him.      Where in your world is the next hill you know you must climb?      Parable #2: Release the Rage     Marc remembers the first day of Warrior Week being “a long-ass day!” Having released and dealt with a lot of rage about his father, Marc was certain there was nothing left to process.  Late that night, he realized residual resentment remained as he let go of a “shit load of rage,’ afterward feeling liberated and free.      Where are you still holding onto rage about something from the past?     Parable #3: Pain, the Great Motivator     September 15, 1990, is a significant date and turning point in Marc’s life. It’s the last day he had a drink. “30 years ago, I was literally close to death. The choice was to either quit drinking or die.”  Marc had hit rock bottom. His first wife left with their one-year-old daughter; he had no money, no car…nothing. “Pain was a great motivator for me.  While today l change proactively, back then I had to have something like pain to change me.” He credits everything he has in his life today to that pivotal decision to not take another drink.      What message is the pain in your life telling you?     Parable #4: Under the Influence     Coach Sam experienced a life-changing moment twelve years ago in 2008 while on a business trip. This is the year he chose not to take another drink. For him, it wasn’t about the pain; it was more of a natural path.  He no longer associates drinking with having fun. Instead, he has found non-alcoholic beer to be a delicious and satisfying substitute. “When under the influence of alcohol, we were not ourselves,” remarked Coach Sam. It’s not that something is wrong with you if you drink or that those who don’t drink are better than those who do. However, they agree that with any drink or drug, you are no longer yourself; instead, you’re under the influence of whatever you’re drinking or ingesting.      What is the message speaking to your heart?     Parable #5: 30-Day Challenge     Coach Sam is extending a challenge to you. “Listen to the Voice without being under the influence of alcohol for 30 days. Then evaluate your relationship with God, your wife, your kids, yourself…and life itself. Ask yourself how your life improved, evaluate the quality of your prayers/communication with God. While Marc and Coach Sam have challenges in other areas of their life, cutting out alcohol is one less thing they have to worry about.“ Marc also cut out smoking. “Once I started seeing these changes and effects in my life, it created momentum.”      Are you ready to take the challenge?        "Parables From The Pit"     “Zero delay in transactions is the name of the game with Marc Beauchamp.”      --Sam Falsafi    “A lot of guys have no issue with alcohol. But for me, I had to figure out who I was without it.”     -- Marc Beauchamp   coachfinancing.com marc@coachfinancing.com  

Get HELP or DIE | Warrior Week: Parables From the Pit | EP 102

  Parable #1: Veneers, Lambos, and Surfing    Dr. Todd's first encounter with Warrior was through Garrett's wife, Danielle, who showed up in his dental clinic looking for veneers. Not long after that, he saw a Lamborghini in his parking lot one day, snapped a photo alongside it, and stepped into his office to find a tattooed man waiting for him.  After a couple of conversations and surfing sessions, coupled with a curiosity-driven visit to Garrett's online presence, Dr. Todd was all in with Warrior. "I was in a place at that point in time where his message resonated with me. I was burnt out in my career, I was stressed, and it cascaded over into my marriage and personal life, where everything felt stressed and overwhelming. I was going nowhere, and if anything, I was going backward and drowning."     How did Warrior come into your life?     Parable #2: Armor of Steel & Emotional Backpacks    Coach Sam recognized Dr. Todd’s humility in their conversations. “You’re a doctor, you’re a healer, you’re a businessman. That, by itself, is a fuck combo, emotionally.” He understands why so many doctors, dentists, and surgeons feel alone because of the armor they have to constantly wear and never take off, in addition to the emotional backpack they carry around filled with things no one wants to talk about.  Dr. Todd explains that the majority of doctors and dentists are introverts and are not usually social, outgoing people. Over time, the artistry of building and fixing teeth becomes who you are. It’s common to take things personally or beat yourself up when something doesn’t work correctly or when a patient complains. This leads to burn-out and dentists wanting to throw the towel in after twenty years in.     How has the reality of "we don't talk about it" affected your life?    Parable #3: The Many Faces of Dr. Todd    There’s the crazy soul that pushes things to the edge, the calculated doctor, the healer whose heart kicks in, and the artist extraordinaire that creates. At the end of the day, it’s his hands and fingers that are the agency of his art. As such, it creates a wide-open space for the plague of elf-sabotage to inch its way in. Dr. Todd thought that Warrior might be a way out for him. “I was definitely conflicted with all the different things I was doing. To drop everything and just start doing Warrior was interesting. After doing my own thing for so many years, and then instantly stopping and having someone telling me what to do was tough for me." The lead-up process to Warrior Week itself was not an easy process for Dr. Todd, nor was it an enjoyable one. It was actually brutal and exposed lies and stories he was unaware of.     How many different hats are you wearing daily?    Parable #4: Soul Searching    With so many different personalities vying for his attention, Dr. Todd questioned who was it that he actually wanted to be? This entailed a lot of soul-searching and questioning on his part. He recognized that creation without follow-through or having too much creation, and too many battles to fight becomes a problem. He also came to recognize he lacked the necessary tools to handle the chaos he was experiencing and realized he needed to let go of the perfectionist in him. He began implementing 90-day challenges and creating weekly Doors to walk through.     How do you currently handle the chaos of life?    Parable #5: Legion    Dr. Todd has the opportunity to speak throughout the year to dentists worldwide, teaching the how-tos of dentistry. However, what is lacking is the opportunity to talk about life, problems, and chaos present in every dentist’s life. Over time, there is a massive buildup of emotional weight they carry with nowhere to talk about it. He created LEGION, an online experience that teaches dentists about what’s most important and equips them with the tools they will need. “At some point, you will have a meltdown, you will have some problems, and what you don’t realize is the problem is you.” Dr. Todd teaches them the Warrior doctrine and how it can save their family and business and allow them to have a good life going forward…if they choose to play the game.     What tools and weapons are in your arsenal to win the war?       "Parables From The Pit"    "There was a war that was brought upon our door. We’re in a transition to surviving 2020, but the goal is not to survive war; we’re here to win the fucking war. What we do now defines how we’re going to win in 2021.”     --Sam Falsafi    “My armor had holes in it, but I’ve built new armor…and I’m coming to help the rest of the dentists. My message? Let me show you what you could be doing so you’re working less, you’re making more, life is more fruitful, you have more time with your Maker, your family…and you’re passing it along to your children."    -- Dr. Todd Snyder 

LEGION | Ep 101 | Warrior Week: Parables From The Pit

No doubt, 2020 came out of nowhere, and, for a time, human potential and momentum were seemingly put on pause. Human beings were “forced” to take a step back and revisit their strategizes and plans for the year. At the end of the day, it all comes down to focusing on what matters. Welcome to the 100th episode of Warrior Week: Parables From the Pit, with head coach, Sam Falsafi, in this very special father-son edition with guests Mike Hardy and his son, Jacob.  warriorweeknow.com   Parable #1: Warrior Week 29 & 51  Before Mike entered the gates of Warrior Week 29, nearly five years ago, he was in a place where he knew he needed to change his thought process. Work was becoming all-consuming, and he was aware that he needed to reprioritize and realign his role as husband and father and his entire life. Warrior Week 29 was perfect timing for Mike because it helped him get centered, focused, and clear on the things that were really important to him. Why return to Warrior Week 51? Mike realized that if there’s no intention to grow with a healthy environment, it’s part of human nature to easily slip back. “Warrior Week 51 was almost a recommitment to “no compromise” in all areas of life. Things were moving in a good direction, but I think I needed to re-anchor the foundation, and get to a place where I had a higher level of certainty, and double-down on what worked.”  QUESTION  What caused you to enter the gates of Warrior?  Parable #2:  Letting GoK  Often we will stay in a place of comfort for years. However, in order to grow, it is imperative that we learn to let go and step out of that comfort zone – especially if it’s working for us – and have the courage to step into the new. The hardest part of getting to great is giving up good. Mike: “One of the things I’ve always struggled with is that I am a very calculated risk-taker. Through the Warrior training, I’ve learned to slow down long enough to take that quiet time (meditation) every morning to listen to that still, small voice, and then act on that, which is not always logical. There are windows in time, like a strong intuition, that open up worlds of opportunity that I would have completely missed out on had I not slowed down and listened.”  QUESTION  Where in your world do you know it’s time to let go and step outside your comfort zone?   Parable #3: A Father’s Impact  Coach Sam recalls something his father told him on his wedding day that has stayed with him throughout the years. “Living a life with someone is easy, but building a life with someone is difficult.” When things get heated between two people, he realizes that he could live with someone for a very long time, but to build something and have common projects is something entirely different. Mike’s son, Jacob, is currently nineteen years old. At the time of his father’s entry into Warrior Week 29, he was fourteen. He recounts several projects he and his father have worked on together throughout that time, notably fixing up his first car. “He let me just kind of figure it out, and then I worked through it.” Currently, they are working towards getting their pilot’s licenses.  QUESTION  What message from your father has remained with you throughout your life?    Parable #4: The Pit  “There is a miserable process that takes place on day one of Warrior Week that’s long and goes into the night. It’s called the Pit. It makes us face things and feelings that we’ve kept inside, things that we regret, relationships that caused us harm, and the pain that resides deep inside. No matter what man you look at, all of us have this pain inside of us, but the majority of us are not willing to feel the pain. The first night is a transition into allowing a man to feel some of that pain.” Coach Sam “There’s a heightened learning experience that takes place when I’m pushed to my limit. There are things to let go of and lessons that can be absorbed that just wouldn’t happen otherwise. There’s a catharsis from being able to let go. My belief is that it’s almost impossible to really grow into who you’re supposed to be, and experience what’s possible for life if emotional baggage and anchors are holding one back.” Mike  QUESTION  What emotional baggage are you hanging onto?  Parable #5: Exposed  Mike recalled his experience during one of the evolutions, where a picture of his family was presented to him. “There’s something about when what you love most and have to fight for, a human being can make anything happen.” Knowing that intellectually, he experienced it firsthand during this evolution., “It was like a little microcosm for my capacity of what I can do for my family.” From the beginning of time, every generation faces a heavy crisis that they have to go through. Ours is COVID. Mike sees this as a gift, not a curse. “When there are challenges, people will fall to the level of their foundation or their base systems. Everyone is being exposed right now for who they really are. As Einstein said, within every challenge is an opportunity so great that it will literally dwarf the problem itself.

WARRIOR WEEK

I’m Mickie Zada and I lived in abuse…for 34 years…from age 19 until I was 53.  
I believe we create our realities, and I chose to stay in a damaging relationship for so long because I thought it was my Calling.  I was wrong.
I changed me.  I am now an enthusiastic participant in Life.  
 “The words ...

This podcast episode is about business. Specifically, My Business. And the fact that it’s not working. Warren Buffet is the third richest person in the world…he has owned and started businesses that have not worked.  Here is one of my favorite Warren Buffet quotes: “In a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.”– Warren Buffett You know that I have changed my mind, changed my life, changed my name, changed my business and its name.  You know that my foundational belief is “If we don’t change, nothing changes.” I have hung on for several years in a chronically leaking boat. I’ve tried several stints of patching leaks to keep from sinking. Changing vessels is more productive for me now than patching leaks. I always considered the podcast, live videos, and articles to be my passion and a business.  The business part was coaching and creating paid classes and groups to support, inspire, and educate women who have escaped domestic abuse. Paid classes and groups have not been supported.  In spite of my efforts, this business is not viable. The cost to create what I offer for free is almost $1,000 a month.  I thought by this time I would generate enough income to at least break even.  That has not been the case.  The bottom line is that I can no longer justify staying in this chronically leaking boat. This is the final episode of SHATTERPROOF Thriving After Domestic Abuse Podcast. Listen to the podcast to learn more about my decision to take the fork in the road. I do intend to continue building an online community. My focus will be on personal growth for women over 50.  Content and lessons will apply to creating our authentic lives after domestic abuse, but that will not be the primary focus. If you are a member of the open or secret SHATTERPROOF Thriving After Domestic Abuse FB pages, or The Second 53 Years, and you’re interested in continuing to follow me, please like my personal page, Facebook Mickie Zada   I will continue posting content there. I appreciate the support I have received from this community.  As one of my coaches told me, the only thing consistent in Life is change.  It keeps us growing and moving forward.  I am open, ready, and willing to embrace whatever new venture Divine Intent is leading me into.  Choose to like my personal Facebook page and invite your friends to join that community, too.

My guest today is Jitka Bernardova.  Jitka grew up in the Czech Republic behind the Iron Curtain. Despite the confines of living in communism with very controlling parents, she was a very happy and active child. Her parents were very strict and she didn’t feel loved enough, so she was constantly seeking love from babies and animals. Jitka loved to play outside and take care of all the neighbors’ kids on the street.  She was so blinded by looking for love that she didn’t see the problems she was taking on when she married an alcoholic man at the age of 18. His drinking got better and then it got worse…then it got better, and then it got much worse. Jitka discovered it was not ONLY drinking that he was doing.  He was also cheating on her: Cheating with her friends!  To make matters worse, everyone knew (even her parents) and no one told her. That was emotionally devastating and it was the catalyst to motivate her to know she couldn’t live like that anymore.  Jitka divorced her husband after 24 years of marriage. Her kids were all grown up and on their own at that time. The divorce left her suddenly alone and not needed. Being the strong woman she is, Jitka didn’t look too far ahead: She chose to rebuild her life day by day.  She focused on herself, she focused on creating a life she wanted to live.  She began a well-planned program of walking on the beach, working out, adding a healthy diet, meditating, learning English, learning to drive and reading. She became a different person. she became stronger, happier and healthier than she had ever been. Reach out to Jitka at New Stronger Me

I Created A New Stronger Me! Jitka Bernardova

You never know the influence you have on someone’s life.  As you deal with your reality, feeling like you are drowning in emotions and responsibility, someone else’s view of you is that of inspiration, strength, and success. My cousin died last week.  She was a favorite cousin, my big sister by proxy.   She was the one I ran to when I left my abuser for the very first time. At that time, she was recently divorced, had emotional and financial responsibility for two young sons; she was a full-time Master’s Program student and worked full time.  Her life was on overload.  I’m sure she felt like she was at the end of her rope. Then I showed up. In crisis. To me, she was a savior.  A strong woman in charge of her life, moving forward on her dreams, dealing with responsibilities, and creating a safe, healthy life for herself and her sons. No matter how shattered your life may feel to you, to someone else you may be the exact inspiration another woman needs.  That’s what my cousin was for me.

You May Be the Exact Inspiration Another Woman Needs with Mickie Zada

People often see the victim of narcissistic abuse as “crazy” and full of fear and doubt.  The narcissist shows up cool, calm and collected.  Right? Why is that?  Because the narcissist has the ability to make their victims responsible for any and every negative thing.  Even things they make up…using our words!  They convince us we are crazy.  They convince us we are the abusers!  They separate realities and stay calm, while the light us on fire.  You are not, and were not, crazy.  You were abused. Now it’s our choice to change our perspective, to accept that building our own safe, happy and authentic live is OUR responsibility.  The abuse was real.  We did not deserve it.  We did not ask for it or enjoy it.  Now it’s our choice to use that experience to grow, and to help ourselves and others heal.  

You're Not Crazy; You Were Abused

It was the lies and emotional abuse that lead my guest to research and discover that BOTH her Exs had extreme childhood trauma.   She said “This fact was something NOT taught in a triple Masters program in Psychology!”  After 2 years of research, she discovered childhood trauma leads to emotional abuse and that made total sense, for her healing and the healing of her psychotherapy and coaching clients as well.   My guest is Riana Milne.  She is a certified, Global Life, Dating & Relationship Coach, a #1 best selling author, and podcast host.  Because so many women want to know WHY things went so bad when they were great in the beginning, Riana has developed, and she presents for us, the TEN TRAUMAS that are experienced during childhood that affect an adult later in life and in their love relationships.  Riana also offers 3 free gifts to listeners of SHATTERPROOF Thriving After Domestic Abuse podcast.  All are available on her website – www.RianaMilne.com  1) Free Life & Love Transformation Strategy Session  (a $500 value for Singles; a $1000 value for Couples); FREE when you mention this interview! 2) Free Chapter downloads of both her books; LIVE & LOVE Beyond Your Dreams. 3) Free eBook on this topic: found at – www.HavetheLoveYouDeserve.com

Bad news is all around us. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's an accurate reflection of the current state of our society and world, which is why in today's episode, I cover the importance of maintaining perspective and arming yourself with fact—not fear—based information. This is Part 5 of a 5-part series about how to effectively cope when you're inundated with bad news stories and negativity. And while the world may seem all doom and gloom, research and evidence show that we actually live in an increasingly peaceful time. That's not to say there isn't still tons of room for improvement, however. But we should also focus on the positives and factor in the progress we've made as well. Notes from the show:  - We actually live in a more peaceful time now than we ever have before - Advancements in communication technology put information at our fingertips so we are just hearing about the bad news in the world more now - Every generation seems to have a problem with the subsequent one; it's easy to let emotions take over and see things from a negative point of view without examining the facts - Pretty much everyone thinks they are doing the right thing - We are all one community, one big ecosystem - Looking at situations from other people's perspectives help to bridge the hate Links and Resources Mentioned:  Study from Tel Aviv University - "Peace is more profitable than war"  Article from Slate.com - Measurable progress has been made to lessen the amount of violence towards women  Another article from Slate.com - There's a downward trend for genocide  And one more - "The world is not falling apart"  Article from Salon.com - Education and empathy have played significant roles in decreasing the amount of violence in the world

Part 5: How to not get sucked into all the bad news stories

It's no secret that the news has been inundated with negative stories and happenings lately. But the reality is that if we have time to worry and complain, then we have time to take positive action, too. And that's exactly what I talk about in today's episode. This is Part 4 in a 5-part series about practical tips, staying open and resourced, and shifting our mindsets so we don't become weighed down by all of the bad news stories. We should be aware of what's going on in the world but we should digest that information when we're in the best frame of mind to do so. That way, we can spend our time doing something useful about it—something that can make the world a better place. Notes from the show:  - Share what you believe but do so in a way that comes from a place of clean energy - Post supportive, love-based thoughts and stories on social media - Attend peaceful protests or use artistic expression to convey your message - Take Mr. Rogers' advice and "Look for the helpers" - Volunteer, make donations, send energy - do whatever you feel most comfortable with Links and Resources Mentioned: Change.org - Website where you can sign petitions, or create one of your own, about causes that you care about  #LoveForLeslieJ - Love-based hashtag started in response to the incredibly racist commentary aimed at the actress Leslie Jones  Everything She Says She Means - An art project started by Spencer Tunick in which women reflect heir anger over oppressive attitudes and policies through art  Police and Black Lives Matter Hold a Cookout - A positive story about the Wichita, Kansas police department spending time with members of the community at an event planned by Black Lives Matter activists  BBBS - Volunteer with the Big Brother Big Sister of American organization RachelRofe.com/questions - If there's anything you'd like to ask me or have me podcast about, please go here and let me know

Part 4: How to not get sucked into all the bad news stories

If you don't stay open and learn how to manage your intake of current events in a way that empowers and enables you to cope with love rather than fear-based thinking, it's easy to become weighed down by bad news stories. This is Part 3 in a 5-part series about the tools you can use and the actions you can take when you start to feel overwhelmed by too much negative news. So much of the way we navigate the world around us has to do with our mindset. And luckily, that's something we're in charge of (to a large degree) and can tweak to create an overall more positive and joyful life for ourselves. I really hope you find this series helpful! Notes from the show:  - The value of appreciating each day and treating it as a gift - How to reframe your mindset to be one filled with gratitude, not worry or fear - A challenge to commit to doing something that brings you joy every single day - You have the power to re-examine your expectations and treat negative feelings as opportunities for fulfillment Links and Resources Mentioned: #100HappyDays - A challenge started by Dmitry Golubnichy "to inspire more people to choose happier living." Chad Hadsell interview - In this episode, Chad talks about the four things you need in order to stay as happy as possible.  Hal Elrod interview - Hal discusses how to go from deeply depressed to living a thriving life. RachelRofe.com/questions - If there's anything you'd like me to podcast about, please go here and let me know.

Part 3: How to not get sucked into all the bad news stories

Bad news deeply affects many of us. And there certainly is no shortage of it these days, so it can be difficult not to become totally consumed by it. This is Part 2 in a 5-part series filled with tips and resources that will help you better cope with all the negative news. Turning a blind eye to what's going on in the world is not what I'm proposing. Rather, I'm suggesting ways that you can take charge of your mindset and make sure that you stay open and continue operating from a place of love in spite of the negative things happening around you. I really hope you find this series helpful! Notes from the show:  - Empowering yourself to be in charge of your experiences versus allowing your experiences to be in charge of you  - How negative news infiltrates your subconscious with worry and fear-based thinking, blocking effective communication and trust  - A Chrome extension that lets you block news from yourself until you're better equipped to handle it - Doing something that's worthwhile and productive with the information you take in as opposed to letting it drag you down  - Putting more love into the world is the only thing that's going to truly help  Links and Resources Mentioned:  News Feed Eradicator - Use this extension to block news from your Facebook news feed until you're in the right state of mind to see it.  

Part 2: How to not get sucked into all the bad news stories

It seems like there's been a lot of bad news out there lately, and even the most evolved people have a hard time getting sucked into it. This is Part 1 in a 5 part series filled with tips that will help you feel better about all of the negative news. I'm certainly not advocating ignoring it - but we can also approach things like this from a place of empowerment and genuine desire to help versus getting sucked into fear-based thinking that only makes the world worse. I hope this helps - it's really needed right now! Notes From The Show: – Fear limits us - love expands us. - Breathe deep in order to connect back to yourself - Bringing attention to the present moment helps you reduce anxiety - "It’s often the attempt to make anxiety go away, not the anxiety itself that traps us in anxiety disorders.” – Ruth M. Buczynski, PhD - Go out in nature or do something to connect you to yourself - Write a letter to yourself - Remember your true essence Links and Resources Mentioned: RachelRofe.com/questions – If you’d like me to answer a question, post right there.

Learn how theories in psychology affect you in everyday life. Upbeat and interesting podcasts from experienced psychology teacher Michael Britt give you a bit more insight into you and your life.

How does music affect us emotionally? Why do minor chords sound so sad? In this episode of The Psych Files I explore ideas from Daniel Leviton's fascinating book, Your Brain on Music, especially those ideas concerned with what composers do to draw you into their music by first conforming to your musical expectations and then carefully confounding them in order to surprise and delight. I talk with guitarist and composer David Temple to get his perspective on this process as well. Along the way you'll hear excerpts from some fascinating pieces of music and David and I will discuss what makes them so compelling, especially those in the minor key. My My piano playing skills are pretty rough but get ready for some fun.

The Psychology of Music: The Role of Expectations and Minor Chords

In this episode of The Psych Files, host Michael Britt explores three fascinating new psychology studies. First, research found that making hospital alarms more musical could help prevent dangerous mistakes caused by alarm fatigue. Next, studies on cats and dogs suggest they likely dream about their waking experiences, just like humans do. The brain activity of a sleeping dog resembles when it is chasing a ball, for example. Finally, not all personality tests are created equal - while popular, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) lacks scientific support, whereas the Big Five model and its personality traits are well-validated by research. However, no test can capture the full complexity of your personality. Psychological science is always uncovering new insights into how our minds work, with much still left to discover.

Peace through Cultivation * Episode 29 Now Available! * We made our way down to my old college stomping grounds in Santa Cruz CA,  to sit down with @aaron_newsom , one of the founding partners behind @s.c.veteransalliance . This former Marine Veteran has taken his life long mission of serving his community and applied that mission to serving fellow Veterans in his local community since 2010. * Along with his partner Jason, they have been serving free cannabis to local veterans every month since 2011, without fail. Their mission is grounded in the idea of safe access, and that no man/woman is left behind. Tirelessly working to take care of one another in helping veterans replace pharmaceutical consumption with natural plant based medicines. * This conversation was a little bit of cannabis, and a whole lot about life. Learning acceptance of the world around you, even when it seems out of control. We discussed the idea of silence and how it can truly be revolutionary in self-discovery and healing. There is a constant underlying theme of being present in the moment, to be exactly where your feet are. * “Life is a game. If you do not like what level you are currently on, then you better get up and play the game.” “If you love life, Don’t waste time!” Aaron is on a crusade to steer local veterans toward Preventative Maintenance for Health through plant based medicines rather that prescription mediation. * I’m grateful to call this man a friend and an inspiration for always keeping his word to the people he serves so selflessly. Continuing on his fight for safe access, Aaron has a relentless attitude of, “one unit, one fight.” * The easy way in life, always leads to the hard way. The hard way in life, always leads to the easy way. Find your Art and never let go. Life is a game, and no one is going to play your position for you. * Join us for a deep conversation about cannabis, philosophy, human trauma and the spirit to overcome all obstacles that stand in front of you. * Peace through Cultivation * Mastered and Produced by @beatsbycanna * Content provided by @dirt.md & @_cowboybrand_

Peace through Cultivation

Cannabis Paradigm  Episode 27 Now Available In this episode we travel to the great state of Oklahoma, to sit down with Matt from @arlosytems. One of the leading voices behind permaculture and regenerative cannabis, Matt is an all American ganja man pioneer. From once being a troubled kid heading down the wrong path, to making a shift in perspective and passion, cannabis saved his life. Matt has built his career within the application of permaculture design around cannabis cultivation. He calls this journey “a pathway of trial and error through passion.” A constant attempt to build community through soil. This man’s journey into cultivation through organic living soils, always has been, and still to this day, all about helping to heal the people he loves the most. Family has been at the center of his career and life’s work. Making a conscience decision to make a shift in health many years ago, he has based his focus and attention on quality cannabis and patient health. Chasing the idea of being one with ganja. Constantly in pursuit of becoming one entity with cannabis, instead of two. From Massachusetts to California and everywhere between, Matt has traveled all around this country both in cannabis and hemp. He has been self taught through application of research and development. Many years of failures, setbacks and falls have built this man into one of the strongest humans I know. To say his experience and spirit is refreshing and humbling, would be an understatement. Join us as we talk about embracing the mysteries of life and cannabis, while constantly striving to be a better person than you were the day before.

Episode 26 . In this episode we travel to the Sierra Nevada Foothills to sit down with Eric Brandstad from @light_dep_greenhouse and Greenhouse Advisory Group. . We discuss his journey through cannabis from the time he was a young  man in the early 1990's in Southern Humboldt to traveling around the globe representing grassroots cannabis culture. . This story reflects the tenacity and ambition you must have to survive this industry. Do the right thing regardless of the consequences. Choose what is right, no matter how it may effect you personally. . Go the Extra Mile! . He put in the extra hours of work and go above and beyond what was expected of him. Eric practiced aggressive patients and never stop pushing forward. Constantly putting himself in uncomfortable situations that forced him to level up. . Be willing to start over from zero and be humbled by the experience. Your name and your integrity are you ultimate lifeline. Like Eric, you must stand up for what you believe in, even if that means you are standing alone. . Eric has been a close friend, confidant and someone I look up to for many years. I'm very proud to announce that Eric has also accepted the invitation to sit on the Board of Directors for The Coalition. Excited to add this mans passion and experience to this growing movement. .

Episode 25 . Join us as we travel down to Southern California to sit down with notorious brothers, Bill and Jeff from @beardbros_pharms. . We discuss the journey of them heading the call of cannabis and traveling across the country in pursuit of a dream built on determination and grit. . Their strategic decision making has been based on a long-term. big picture vision with the idea that "outlaws always find a way." Its hard to find two men more laser focused on achieving their goal at any cost. . Bill reminds us that there is no Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Cannabis Culture. This culture is not learned inside a master-mind or keynote speech. This grassroots culture is learned through pain, sacrifice and failure. . We sit down and discuss the current medical system, big-pharma, lobbying, taxes, policies and the systemic issue of battling corporations who are pushing profits. . The Beard Bro's lay out a powerful message of understanding the power of branding in today's market, as well as properly relaying that same passion and ethos to patients/consumer. Bill and Jeff also give us their prediction for what the future holds with federal legalization across the country. . This is an absolute must listen for anyone inside the cannabis space. I couldn't be more proud to call these men some of my closest friends, and it has been an absolute honor to watch their journey over the years. .

Introducing: Nourish

Hi friends,  As many of you already know, this is our last official episode of the Around the Table podcast.  In this episode, we share more about what’s behind the decision to close the podcast, and open up about our favorite and least favorite moments of the past three years of doing the show. We also share what’s next for each of us. You'll hear that there’s no juicy drama or Big Spiritual Reason behind our decision to end the podcast; we’ve simply made the show we wanted to make for nearly three years, and it’s time to move on. Knowing when to quit is never easy, but we feel peaceful and assured about the timing. Please do continue to follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter as one of our favorite things about Around the Table has always been YOU, the wonderful people it allows us to connect with.   We can’t thank you enough for your support -- know that we’re forever grateful for you.   Intention + Indulgence (and hugs), Jacey and Maggie
