Hello!! I AM BACK!

Oh brother, it's been rough. Shout out to Chuck for allowing for this to happen, you're a good man. Well, on today's episode I catch up, talk about what I have been struggling with and where I am at. Dealing with the shame of money troubles, the inability to get ahead of this and dealing with intense inadequate feelings.

Ep. 23 my son Archer makes another appearance on the show!

This episode you get a look at our relationship and we talk about some big topics! It never ceases to amaze this boys mind and sometimes it feels like he is raising me! He gives some important advice on how to bring up big or uncomfortable topics with your child in a way they can handle it.

We also go over one of our favorite books, 'Big Idea's for Curious Minds An Introduction to Philosophy for Curious Minds'  from The School of Life Press. I will link the website below! We go over two chapters in the book where we look at the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre where we talk about the "mind body problem" about the two versions we see our selves as, one version of how others see us and how we see ourselves. Also, looking at the philosopher  Jacques Derrida and his philosophy around the media and how they don't show you the whole picture of what is going on in the news.

Join us for this special conversation and see the beauty of the mother son relationship!

I will be going back to my once a week schedule! Starting today I will be releasing every Monday! I want to thank everyone who has supported me since starting this podcast. As I say, the intent is to connect to the disconnected and if I have helped at least one person and have helped make someone feel less alone with their mental health  and feel less different, than I really have achieved the intent of the journey.

Episode 22 I discuss what's been going on with why I have been lagging! I really don't want to get in my own way with the podcast but I have been battling some sever feelings of inadequacies and self doubt, the feeling of irrelevance and that I am a pseudo intellectual!  You know, the usual! 

So, these listener emails couldn't come at a perfect time! I read the sweetest email/fb messages on the show and discuss some topics brought up and or around the messages.

On Ep. 21 were talking NARCISSISTIC PARENTS!! Mostly mothers.

Narcissism is quite the buzz word these days but it is one of the most overlooked and under diagnosed disorders we face in a growingly narcissistic world. The effects of being raised by a narcissist can lead to a life time of invalidation, worthlessness, insecurities and substance abuse. I share my own experience with my undiagnosed narcissistic mother and the what the consequence have been. 

I take a look at the different types and styles of mother/daughter dynamics when the mother is displaying or is a narcissist and then go into some tips about how you can heal.

This is a very painful and lonely journey to realizing your mother wasn't capable of giving you what you need but it wasn't your fault. It wasn't fair that the needs of your mother were always put first but once you realize the root of your suffering that will give you the freedom you need to start healing. I have included some links for the healing process as well as my resources for the show today.

Do you have a narc mother or father? Write me your stories, how you healed, you got away, and what it looked like for your family dynamic. 

You are loved! You are wanted! You are needed!

It's a series! 

Ep.16 kicks off Pt.1 of 3 talking about my experience with the medicine, the great mother, Ayahuasca. In this episode you will hear my interview with the incredible Estela Pangoza, who is a Shipibo-Conibo Shaman or Maestra, owner of Aya Madre. The first healing retreat owned and operated by a women Shipibo Shaman.  We had just competed a ceremony and she was ever so kind to speak with me about how she came to be a Shaman, one of the most intense healings, and that when you're healing, you need to trust the medicine and let go. Forever grateful to Maestra Estela Pangoza for her healing, wisdom and grace.

Without the help of Katherine Kurner, Zoe Helene of Cosmic Sister, Kenyatta Bell of Root Recovery, Dr. Joe Tafur and the ever so lovely Ursula Milla, I would not have had the experience I did. Forever in debt to your kind and giving spirits that I will always hold dear.

Please send me your stories of survival, overcoming mental health, if you have had the healing medicine of Ayahuasca or whatever! Send to [email protected]
