If you've ever wanted to rise and heal to a level beyond what you ever thought possible or thought you needed, then do we have the Blue Mind resilience show for you.

Today I'll be talking with a dear friend and hero, the true keeper of the sea, Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, a visionary, entrepreneurial scientist, renowned marine biologist, voracious earth and idea explorer, wild water advocate, and the best-selling author of one my favorite must-read books and documentaries, "Blue Mind"

Today I want to talk with him about a topic that is near and dear to both of our hearts, rising from the ashes, what it means, how we do it, and why it's most important to have a mission now more than ever.

Key Points Discussed:

• Losing his home in a wild fire right after his daughter left for college and the letter he wrote her about it that went viral (06:17)
• Building a mighty home where every single thing was meaningful and thoughtful (11:45)
• The stunning and humbling experience of losing all of his material accumulations over his lifetime (16:33)
• Rediscovering his home in a new format and the idea of writing to the spirit of his home and doing some more journaling (19:45)
• The beautiful, unusual, and unexpected storm in California that they were inadequately prepared for (27:31)
• The epitome of resilient beings that is red wood trees (31:07)
• Learning from the cleansing and destructive aspect of fire and how it differentiates from learning from water (35:12)
• Being an activated Pine seed sitting on top of a deep Manzanita root (42:01)
• Understanding the dynamic of the fire, earth, water connection (48:55)
• How he is more clear now on his short and long term mission for healing the water and land (52:06)
• Have you spent time in the water yet and what does it mean to you? (54:47)
• The deep response that all living beings have to "Water or lack of water" (58:29)
• The importance of honoring urgency and recognizing the stress and anxiety it causes (1:01:20)
• What does breath and resilience mean to you? (1:04:48)
• The meaning of the Phoenix rising from the ashes (1:09:39)
• Recognizing when it's time to get out instead of lingering and losing (1:16:14)
