  • #23 Synchronicity (a.k.a. the law of attraction) with Dr. Philip Merry

    Happy 2021! 

    We launched the new season of Shift with Shubhra with a great conversation that I had with Dr. Phili Merry, who is still the only person in the world who has done a grounded research PhD in Synchronicity or as some of us would know it as, the Law of Attraction. 

    I started a new New Year's Eve ritual, or perhaps it was a ritual for the eve of New Year's Eve: I watched the documentary, The Secret, which I have to say, is now my favorite ritual to do before any new chapter, especially the new year. 


    Dr. Merry breaks the concept of Synchronicity and some tips to make it work for our life as well as, how to truly notice it's happening to/for you.

  • #22 Parenting Lessons: Like Mother, Like Daughter

    In today's episode, we talk about parenting. Specifically the parenting relationship between Anabel and Carmen. This episode is a slightly different twist to my usual interview discussions.

     

    Today, instead of an "expert" on the show, we have real-life, flesh and blood human beings, who are mother and daughter and they will share their personal story on parenting and the lessons they've learned along the way. 

     

    Carmen and I met in 2016 whilst we were both visiting Japan, she was visiting a friend and I was visiting my own and we all happened to be meeting our friends in the same resto-bar in the beach town of Fujisawa. We then made another connection that two other friends of ours worked in the same film company in Lisbon. What are the odds?

     

    Since then we stayed in touch. On Facebook, I would see these endearing posts of Carmen's mother, Anabel. I was fascinated by their bond and it was then I invited them to come on the show for a chat. 

     

    It was a lovely conversation and it was just nice to talk about the lessons they'd learned along the way as their journeys took them and how their dynamic evolved. 

     

    At one point they were even roommates-that were flatmates -and also mother and daughter that shared a common group of friends. Now, that's not something you hear every day.

    In this episode, we will share the second part of the conversation with Pearline Foo, Principal Consultant and Chief Babywearing Specialist Fitting Trainer of Baby Slings & Carriers in Singapore.

    A pioneer in the babywearing industry, Pearline has been advocating and acting as a Babywearing Specialist Fitter and Consultant since 2007, and has helped with more than 10,000 babywearing fittings!

    We pick up from where we left off in the previous episode and started the conversation discussing the types of carriers that aren't the most recommended. You might be surprised by the types that were shared. I have only seen one too many of this style on the streets, and I would only hope that I share this with you so that you are educated on providing the most support for your little one when using a babycarrier.

    Baby-carrying or support is such an important and relevant topic for parents; it is not only a simple way for you and your baby to bond but it is also an important way to ensure that babies develop their body and bone structure well.

    If you are an experienced babywearer and have some tips for fellow parents, share your tips with us below.

    In this episode we cover:
    Types of baby carriers that might put a strain on the baby
    Are hard baby seats actually suitable for babies?
    How to carry a baby correctly at their “natural restive state”
    Correct babywearing code - T.I.C.K.S.
    → Tight, In view (at all times),
    →Close (enough to kiss),
    →Keep baby’s chin off your chest,
    →Supported spine
    Forward Facing VS Facing In
    How to select the right carrier for you
