June 01, 2017 Persian Dancing, my tree and an Angel.
My next guest is a molecular scientist, a cancer thriver, a Mindfulness
coach, and an author. Welcome to Awesome People Mehrnaz Massoudi.
I met Mehrnaz at the beach one day...she was just getting off her paddle
board and I thought to myself, I’ve always wanted to try paddle boarding,
I'm gonna got talk to that women! She was welcoming and open and very happy
to talk about one of her life passions, paddle boarding.
Mehrnaz was born and raised in Iran. Fell in love while still in
Iran...which shouldn't seem like a big deal, but it was during the Iranian
revolution and the young man was Baha'i. At that time it was illegal to for
a Muslim woman to marry a Baha'i man….we talk about their escape, what that
was like and the effects of Mr. Bush. We also talk about how to pronounce
Iran...not Iran.

May 05, 2017 Say no to striving - you don’t need it.
We’ve all heard claims that happiness is the key to success, or health or a
good sex life or whatever. Many books I’ve seen over the years have talked
about what to do so you can be happy. In short, the philosophy is that A+B
= happiness. In the absence of another approach, I believed this one. After
years of diligent effort and certainty that this was the way to go, I
realized it wasn’t working, but I didn’t know why. I questioned my approach
- maybe I was doing something wrong. No, I was doing all the right stuff.
Then I questioned my commitment - maybe I didn’t truly believe I could be
happy. No, I was happier while conditions were right, and then things would
change and I’d be unhappy again. Constantly trying to get the conditions
right fed my desire for control, but it didn’t make me happier.
I now have some experience which confirms that A+B does not = happiness.
That’s just not how it works. Why? Because true happiness is not an
outcome, it’s the source. By its very nature, it is not quantifiable or
achievable. So, if that’s true, then how do you get from stressed out and
dissatisfied to a state of happiness? My answer: Stop striving! How do
you do that?

October 14, 2016 Fungus, Loonies and a Car Wash!
It gives me great pleasure to introduce this amazing dynamo to Awesome
People Lynn Greene! I first came across her while being introduced to this
video Citizen X. A video about Bill C-16 or more commonly called the
bathroom bill. It's a bill that will amend the human rights act to protect
those transitioning while using a public washroom. Why this has become such
a big issue we are not sure but Lynn is not someone to sit and do nothing.
She and a group of talented individuals made this video to show support to
transgendered and to say hey this is ridiculous, we just wanna pee!!
