Conversations With The Mind

Today on the podcast we speak with Dr. Megan Oxley about intergenerational teaching and learning, collective consciousness, and the psychological sources of physical illness.  She shares with us her path to becoming an emergency medical physician and her interesting pathways into the field of psychedelic healing.  Megan reflects on how both psychedelics and her love for studying consciousness have informed who she is and how she shows up as a mother.  What a fun and fascinating conversation with a total badass!!!  So come along and join me in another journey further into that which we all have but that none of us have figured out -- the deepest recesses of our consciousness, both individual and collective.

Today we speak with an amazing person, trauma surgeon, creator, father, and friend in Dr. John Moos.  We discuss the vastness and intricacies of the Human Condition.  We touch on his experiences as a trauma surgeon, his multiple online projects, and John tells us how he thinks about the human body, mind, and soul from the perspective of his Western Medicine training as well as through his upgraded spiritual lens after having experienced the Mystical directly through non-ordinary states of consciousness.  He and I share our love of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and we compare an contrast Colorado vs. Cali livin'. So sit back, crack your favorite beverage, and prepare yourself to blast off into the mind of another for a little while.  I hope you enjoy this one! It was super fun to make.

Today on the show we talk with multiple award-winning human, Shivani Kaushik.  Shivani is a friend and fellow Social Work PhD cohort member and comes to the show to discuss DEATH & DYING!!! Super spooky and timely for this Halloween season 2021.  But all fear-inducing stereotypical culturally stigmatized thoughts about death aside, Shivani tells me about her work to bring dignity to the dying in correctional settings and her work exploring the benefits and effects of peer-support inmate-to-inmate programs designed to ease and assist in the natural dying process when in incarcerated settings.  We discuss some aspects of her Canadian culture in comparison to the United States including the private prison industry, rehabilitative models of corrections, and punitive models of corrections.  We talk about how important it will need to be in the future that we begin talking about death in a more constructive and beneficial way, rather than the current cultural programming narratives.
