Episode 086: “Holding the ‘Old Me’ Hostage”

We’ve all done it — holding on to the old “version” of someone we know… or of ourselves. Maybe it’s your cousin who you still picture as the awkward teen, or the way you define yourself by that job you left 10 years ago. In this episode, JDK and Ashley explain why our brains are wired to cling to outdated stories about people (including ourselves), how this habit creates unnecessary emotional friction, and why learning to allow for change can transform relationships, boost self-esteem, and help us enjoy life more in the moment. With a mix of science, real-life examples, and a few laughs, you’ll learn how to hit “refresh” on your mental snapshots and embrace the ever-updating nature of being human.

About the Podcast:

Diasporaa was Aditya's third startup based in Vancouver, BC. It focused on helping new immigrants in Canada find their feet, get off to a running start and ease their assimilation into Canadian life. A big part of the platform were conversations, community and support. Though the startup stopped growing once Aditya moved to Seattle, WA - it remained alive in the form of several discussion groups and online communities.

Now, Diasporaa has been resurrected in the form of a podcast focused on uncovering and sharing interesting immigrant stories from the South Asian diaspora. It is available on YouTube, all major podcast platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, etc. and is also broadcast as a radio show on Alternative Talk 1150 AM and 98.9 FM HD Channel 3 on Wednesdays from 2-3pm PST.

About Aditya Mehta:

Aditya is a Bombay boy who has lived in Austin, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Vancouver before making it to his current home in Seattle. He has degrees in marketing, urban planning, real estate and strategy but has spent his career in financial services, social media and now real estate - mostly as an entrepreneur and partly as an employee at Amazon.

He balances Indian, Canadian and American culture, loves helping those who are new to North America and looks forward to the interesting stories that his interview guests bring each week. When not podcasting, he is helping his wife Prachi build her pharmaceutical business or hanging out with his son Arjun.

On this edition of Shmooze Radio (originally aired 7/27/10) Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky brings you his message on Parshat Eikev

Today on Conscious Talk… We talk about love and kindness, but we’re missing a very important concept when it comes to living… that’s harmlessness. That’s a term that’s unfamiliar to most of us but more relevant than you imagine. We’ll talk to Karen Bentley, founder of the Warriors Way Training Programs. She’s an expert on the counter-culture practice of harmlessness and why it heals.

“US GLOBAL CURRENTS “Swirling Kite Energy” Astrological Perspective.

We will be exploring an enduring astrological sky pattern called the Kite, which will influence the coming months. Not only Mercury, but also Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto are moving in apparent retrograde relative to Mother Earth. Even newly anointed Uranus turns its gaze backward in early September.

In the April 20th episode of US Global Currents, we focused on a proverbial teeter-totter energy of give and take. This was an in-between period, following the Aries Equinox energies and eclipses near our lunar nodal phase of North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo. Although Neptune had recently entered fiery Aries, three major planetary cycles—Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus—were closing, making our experience feel like a tide ebbing and flowing.

Now, four months later, this caravan of outer planets has shifted into apparent retrograde motion, re-entering their zodiac signs from their last cycle. We find ourselves deeply reflecting on many things, much like Mercury’s Hermetic message that echoes “as above, so below,” This includes in reverse, and moving between inward direction to outward expression,” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of the weekly show. “

Whether in the USA or internationally, these times resonate with strong patterns between dynamic archetypal energies. Importantly, the slower planets form trines and sextiles with the personal planets, creating a powerful, soaring Kite pattern through September. Mars in Libra—and every planet entering Libra in the cosmic map—projects vibrational waves that rock opportunity as we learn to balance creation in the moment”
