Jen is the married mother of three boys and a traumatic event survivor.  In this episode Jen shares how a traumatic life event provoked a change in perspective and a shift in her locus of control.  Jen uses a technology called "Stick Theory"  to evaluate her approach to life, finding balance and simplicity. Jen says she likes to "stay curious, not furious".  

Locus of control refers to the degree to which an individual feels a sense of agency in regard to his or her life. Someone with an internal locus of control will believe that the things that happen to them are greatly influenced by their own abilities, actions, or mistakes. A person with an external locus of control will tend to feel that other forces—such as random chance, environmental factors, or the actions of others—are more responsible for the events that occur in the individual's life.

In this episode I explore the concept of Reality Transurfing with Renee Garcia - a lifelong entrepreneur, Certified Reality Transurfing instructor, and an Alternatives Space adventurer. From Renee:  "I am here to offer up an alternative system for navigating reality to those who are open and willing to try something different. And this system is built on the foundational belief that your theories - about life and what you’re capable of accomplishing within it - matter. In fact, they matter more than just about anything else.

Renee Garcia is a lifelong entrepreneur, Certified Reality Transurfing instructor, and an Alternatives Space adventurer.  

Having ventured deeply into the metaphysical world of Reality Creation, she has transformed personal failure into success, poverty into abundance, sickness into healing, and a bleak perspective into one brimming with joy and magic.

She has developed the only English language Reality Transurfing instructional program officially approved by Zeland.

A burgeoning professional ego and a quest for meaning propelled me from the safety of my kick ass job working for my dad into the Integrative Medical space. Passion fueled this business venture and ultimately blinded me to the endless challenges that lay ahead. Want to know what being an entrepreneur feels like....??? It feels like concrete blocks on your shoulders day and night. But after failing miserably, albiet admirably, I took my losses and started again. I vowed to use this experience as a guideline for what NOT to do.

It a true act of radical feminism, my father gave me, his only daughter, my big entrepreneurial break.

Director of the Longevity Institute at USC, explains that one of the ways to remain fully functional into our nineties and beyond is to “Exploit our body's innate ability to regenerate itself at the cellular and organ levels”.  And one of the most potent ways we can do this is to fast. I completed Longo's Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) last week.  This is my review of the book that explains the research and science behind the Longevity Diet and the FMD, both created by Dr. Valter Longo, as well as an experience report after completing the fast.

Microdosing coach John Downs joins me to discuss the cultural resurgence of psychedelic medicine. He explains how microdosing with small doses of psilocybin or acid can help humans to improve mood and sense of wellbeing. Further, one can transform stuck patterns and outdated ways of being by facing and experiencing uncomfortable feelings and memories without the intimidation and fear around high-dose trips.

Regenerative Farmers Gail Fuller and Lynette Miller share their journey of going from industrial practices to sustainable agriculture. They explain the danger of pesticides and glyphosate, and how it's causing mental health issues for farmers.

Gail’s life journey has taken him on a path from a 3200-acre conventional corn/ soybean farm to a 162-acre food farm that grows multiple species of livestock and literally dozens of different grains, fruit, nut, and vegetable crops (regenerative). Along the way, he has learned the value of healthy ecosystems to both his farming operation as well as his own health. Fuller puts

emphasis on principles, not practices and thinks farming should be about (re)growing

communities. Fuller believes we need to be growing our food in systems designed to live thrive according to nature's principles.

Gail has spoken at conferences and workshops all over the country and in 2012, along with help from Jill Clapperton, started the Fuller Field School. It has quickly become recognized as one of the premier advanced educational events in the US with speakers and attendees coming from all over the globe. 

Gail is planning on adding more educational events on his new farm and is passionate about educating consumers as well. He believes the only way to change food

production in the US is from the bottom up. We can’t sit around and wait for the government to fix our broken food system, to heal our broken farmers, or to guide consumers on proper diets. We have to do this ourselves, one consumer at a time and one farm at a time.
