Best-selling author Arylo talks about hew new book Overwhelmed & Over It: Embrace Your Power to Stay Centered & Sustained in a Chaotic World. Women are stretched beyond capacity. Women struggling to get it all done. Women sacrificing themselves to take care of everything and everyone else. Not just for a moment or a season, but as an ongoing cycle from which they can;y break free. That is until now.

Knowing that awareness is the first step and that we can't change what we don't acknowledge, Arylo begins Overwhelmed and Over It by helping women increase their awareness around seven root causes of overwhelming burnout and self-sacrifice that can keep women stuck in the vicious cycle if overdoing and over-giving. Then she shares powerful wisdom, practices, and tools they can use to create big and lasting change, both in their own lives and in the systems in which they work, lead, and live as well.

Overwhelmed and Over It empowers women to wake their fierce feminine hearts so they can make profound shifts in the systems in which they work, lead, and live. Arylo identifies twelve specific imprints that are the root causes of burnout, self-sacrifice, and overwhelm in five different areas — success, life force, heart, time, and power — to illuminate the ways of working that are no longer working. Then she offers women the practical wisdom they need to update those imprints that allows them to embrace a more supported way of working, relating, and creating. Self-awareness inquiries throughout the book help readers reveal deeper truths about themselves.

Paria Hassouri, MD, talks about her new book sharing her experience of her transgender child - Found in Transition: A Mother's Evolution During Her Child's Gender Change. The bottom line is acceptance and inclusion. This podcast may open your eyes and adjust your thinking regarding transgender people.

Found in Transition begins on May 24, 2017, when Hassouri first learns that her fourteen-year-old,  designated male at birth, is having gender dysphoria and concludes on October 26, 2018, when her now  daughter legally changes her name and gender at the Santa Monica courthouse. During the seventeen  months in-between, Hassouri navigates through anger, denial, and grief before eventually arriving at a  place of acceptance and advocacy. 

Hassouri, a pediatrician and the mother of three, chronicles what  amounts to a dual transition: her child’s transition from male to female and her own  evolution as she overcomes deep-seated insecurities about not fitting in as an Iranian  immigrant, while navigating through anger, denial, and grief about her child’s gender  dysphoria, to eventually arrive at a place of acceptance and advocacy.  

“While I was always accepting of trans people in principle, it seemed that I was not okay with my own child being trans,” writes Hassouri. “Was that all just because I was shocked and didn’t see it was coming because I thought that Ava was doing it out of depression, a desire for attention, and anxiety about her future, or was there also an underlying thread of prejudice against trans people? I want to think it was all the former,  but I can’t be 100 percent certain.”

As her daughter transitions from male to female, Hassouri ultimately discovers her own capacity to evolve, what it truly means to parent; and how to use her voice to raise awareness on behalf of the transgender community.  Gender change is not an easy process for the person going through the change or the family desperately trying to understand the change.
