February 09, 20238 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 69 - Making Important Decisions
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Dr. Pearson continues to describe the negative impact of our personally created drama cyclones and how it robs us of energy and life force. This week she talks about the pain of making a decision that you know deep down is not right, but yet still feel justified in making.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
We don’t get to live the kind of life we would like to because of the self-imposed drama we create.

Are you not being fluid when making important decisions?

You may feel justified in the decisions you have made, but deep down inside you know it’s not right.

Are you pretending so that you don’t see the details that are unpleasant or will force you to make even more significant decisions?

Dr. Pearson gives a personal example.

Are you hiding from the conflict your decisions make and pushing your belief forward even though you know it’s not right?

Does the decision you are making, need to be done at that exact moment or can it be held off for a better time that will not cause you drama?

Have your decisions hurt others or caused damage to a relationship?

Stop pretending and stop hiding from the deeper details while making decisions.

EPISODE SUMMARY:
As we further explore our causes of possible drama, this week Dr. Pearson talks about learning to “see” our lives.

As always, she gives a personal example of how she busted up a lias that was leading her towards more unneeded drama.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
As we get older we realize that we do not view the world the same way as we once did.

Throughout our lives, we being to build filters that we look through.

It is very hard to see your own bias. So this podcast might be good to share with a friend.

Wake up and smell the coffee; become aware of your situation.

Dr. Pearson gives us a personal example.

We are here to encourage others through their journey of life.

Seek to understand not to be understood.

January 19, 20238 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 67 - Challenged Relationships
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Further self-exploration of drama continues. In this episode, Dr. Pearson talks about pretending to like someone when you don’t. What are the signs of challenged relationships, but more importantly what can you do about it to turn them into an ally?
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
Pretending to like someone when you don’t.

If you don’t figure it out then you will end up having some blowups.

Life is too short.

You will never get to a solution if you don’t become brave enough to sit down and have a conversation with that person.

Excuses and denial will not work.

Feeling disrespected or not heard can cause a great deal of drama.

These problems can happen all the time with different people, but you need to keep note and notice when it’s happening 4-5 times and then take action.

If you have the capacity to fix it then fix it.

Seek understanding, find out the why’s.

Dr. Pearson gives a few examples.

Make sure you are planning out a different time to sit down and talk. Don’t do it in the heat of the moment.

Let the other person know what the meeting is about.

Have them write out a list of the things that bother them about you and let them know you will be doing the same.

Naturally, we hate being wrong, but we hate even more being wronged.

The solution takes a calm mind, it takes a mind of awareness, and then patience because it will take some time to make things the way you want them to be.

January 06, 20238 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 66 - Being Ungrateful
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Dr. Pearson speaks to how easy it is to compare yourself to others, all the while forgetting what is working well in your life. Choose to be grateful for anything, anything at all. This will help pull you out of the drama dug out!
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
No matter who you are there is always someone who has it worse than you.

“Comparison is the thief of joy.”

Often when we are being ungrateful we are comparing ourselves with others.

When you wake up in the morning think about what you have to be grateful for.

Focus on the good things and not the negative things we wish were different.

Dr. Pearson tells us about a client she used to treat.

Sometimes we overlook the beauty others see and only think about the things that bother us so much that we don’t realize that no one else sees those things as ugly or bad.

Pick one part of your body that you can learn to love.

Sometimes gratefulness is the key to a longer life.

Own what you look like, and be grateful for the pieces that you have got.

Sometimes you have to go to extremes to be grateful.

What if you lost the thing you are being ungrateful for? How would your life change if it was totally gone and there was nothing you could do about it.

No matter how small say thank you and be grateful for the working piece.

Be grateful for the things and people around you.

December 08, 20228 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 65 - Lying
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Dr. Pearson discussed the 5th drama creator in our lives - lying. She discusses the art of lying, why we lie and how it shows up. More importantly, she gives a few tips on how to be an honest human and leave the nastiness of the pull on our heartstrings behind. The goal is to lose the drama and move towards a sense of freedom.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
At nine years old Kelli lied to her mom and learned a lesson quickly and never lied to her again.

Sometimes we lie because we can’t face the truth.

Sometimes we lie because we don’t want to be wrong.

Truthfully the imperfections in each human are what make us.

There are many different reasons why we might lie.

What should we do instead?

As soon as you realize the truth you need to own it!

Sometimes we tell so many little white lies that it becomes a habit.

If you are going to come forward with something make sure it truly is for the better not just for you, but others.

This week try to come clean with a lie.

November 17, 20228 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 64 - Fear
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Dr. Pearson takes on the 3rd reason for perpetual drama in our lives. Fear. Are you choosing “yes” or “no” to an action based on the fear associated with that possible next step? She talks about multiple instances in our day-to-day when we are wracked with fear, whether we know it or not. (Spoiler, she talks about scary things she has done despite the felt fear, including doing the flying trapeze at age 65)

ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
Dr. Pearson talks about Fear, another factor that causes drama in our lives.

Everyone has fears whether they know it or not, whether they are willing to admit it or not.

There are times when you let fear overwhelm you.

Dr. Pearson gives us a few examples.

Sometimes fear keeps us from taking action for recovery.

Sometimes you just have to do one...two…three…do it!

People who hold things intend to have a lot more body pain than those who do not.

You have to get to the other side of the fear to see or feel the magic.

Too many people choose fear instead of possibility.

You don’t want to let your song die inside of you.

You have to take a risk.

You have to believe in yourself.

November 02, 20228 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 63 - Self-Doubt
EPISODE SUMMARY:
With Dr. Pearson’s exploration of defining drama, this week she explores self-doubt. In keeping with her willingness to be vulnerable, she provides a few stories of when she lost the battle with self-doubt and reminds you of your greatness just by virtue of being a human. You can do it!
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
We create a lot of drama in our lives based on self-doubt.

We compare ourselves to others which helps build our self-doubt.

Sometimes we will see something and think something totally different from what is actually happening.

Sometimes believing what someone says can also create self-doubt that will change the course of what you are really capable of.

Speak up! Speak for yourself! Believe in yourself!

October 31, 20228 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 62 - Drama
EPISODE SUMMARY:
What is drama? Dr. Pearson starts a series of podcasts defining “drama” and how it ages us. It is not always what we do with our body related to movement, or what we put in the mouth that sets the stage for early aging. This series will focus not just on defining drama, but on what we might do to change the impact. You get to experience vulnerability on this show.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
If we can recognize the drama in our lives, we can choose something different and have less personal angst.

Dr. Pearson gets vulnerable with us and tells us a story from about ten years ago.

What is drama? Dr. Pearson is writing a second book about a breakdown of drama.

September 28, 20228 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 61 - Oh It Will Be Fine
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Dr. Pearson talks about the silly situations her patients have reported that have led to chronic and hard-to-heal conditions. The theme of her message is the need to seek treatment sooner than later. The body is amazing in its ability to heal, particularly if you give it a head start.
Recommended books:

Chris Maher - Free For Life
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
Dr. Pearson starts by telling us a story from when she was 18.

She had broken her hand and believing that it was healed removed the cast against her doctor’s wishes.

Now she has an overgrowth bone in her hand that sometimes hits her nerve and causes numbness and sometimes pain.

She looks back now and realizes that she probably should have been more cautious and listened to her doctor.

Dr. Pearson then tells us a story about a mountain climber that broke his leg and shattered his ankle in his early 20s.

He didn’t go see a doctor for several weeks after the injury and by the time he did the doctors told him it was too late to do anything.

Now that he is older he is having to deal with a lot of pain from that injury.

Thankfully Dr. Pearson has been able to help him with movement and he will get a little better, but he will never be the way he used to be.

Another story is about a young gentleman who tore his Achilles heel while playing basketball.

He did have surgery, but no PT and he continued to play on it hard.

Over time it affected his knee.

Pain is our best friend; it can tell us when something is not right and we need to attend to it.

A gentleman fell on a dock and broke about 4 or 5 ribs that ended up puncturing his lung.

He didn’t do anything to help with his rib mobility while he was healing and this affected his ability to bend.

This also affected his back and he ended up with acute lower back pain.

The overall point of all of Dr. Pearson’s stories is to take care of your injury.

Get in to seek professional help right away and then follow it up with proper care and learn how to move that injury the way it was supposed to move again.

DO NOT WAIT TO GET CARE!

September 15, 20228 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 60 - Boomers vs Millennials
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Dr. Pearson takes the time to share out the results of a recent Civility Workshop where half the room were boomers and the other half were millennials. What the group learned was tremendous and the information can be used to make your workplace better, your family better, and your friend group more fun.
If you are interested in attending one of Dr. Pearson’s Zoom Civility workshops, send her an email to [email protected] with the subject line: Request Civility Link. The course is free.
She provides this course to the general public once a month, on the first Tuesday of the month from 9 am to 11 am PDT. Anyone who has an opinion about anything is eligible!
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
This week Dr. Pearson held a Civility Workshop and she learned a great deal from it.

The workshop had half the room as boomers and the other half as millennials.

There is a real struggle in the world right now where employers are struggling to hire and keep employees which is a big stressor.

Dr. Pearson tells us that she will be writing a book based on her findings through the Civility Workshops.

The question they started off with what does it look like to be safe and secure at work.

People are becoming more interested in knowing why they are doing something.

The millennials believe the key is transparency and excellent communication with every change.

We also need to manage expectations.

The millennials are not used to talking face to face and having someone truly listen to them for a long period of time.

So remember take time to just hush and listen to people, let them completely finish saying what they want and you can make them feel totally different without even saying a word.
