 Through personal stories and reflections, this episode illuminates the often unseen battle between our need for attachment and the quest for our truest selves. 

We'll explore the 'doer', 'hostile', 'darkness',  'ghost' and 'are we good?' personalities, understanding how each one acts as a suit of armor, originally crafted in childhood to protect us, yet influencing our adult lives and relationships in ways we might not expect.

We cover how these personality types are based on the fight flight freeze faen responses. 

We also cover the childhood situations that set up each of the 5. Including picking them up from  caregivers who model them for us.

You may find yourself resonating with one or two of these types. And as you heal you may likely find yourself moving thru a hostile phase as you get in touch eith the anger that wasnt safe to feel when younger.

Ever wanted to NOT care what someone else thinks? Doesn't that sound nice? Have you even stopped yourself from doing or asking something important to you because you were afraid what someone might think or how they might judge you? 

How cool would it be to no longer be bothered by what other people think? How awesome and freeing would it be to no longer be concerned with another persons opinions. And we do we even care to begin with?

In this episode we explore WHY we care what other people think and what we can do about it. 

LISTEN TO THE END TO LEARN THE SECRET!!! I no longer care what other people think of me as a person. But it wasn't by accident and it wasn't easy.  Its a simple yet profound perspective that has profoundly freed up my life.

 Join me as we journey into the heart of inherited trauma, bridging the gap between science and spirituality by bringing clarity to a nebulous but very important topic. 

This episode I talk about the types on inherited trauma:

inter-generational trauma
inherited trauma 
collective trauma
cultural trauma

Together we explore the way that trauma and its echos are passed from one generation to another.  We explore methylation, a primary process in creating genetic changes. Holocaust survivors and their children show more methylation on their epigenome compared to a control. 

This episode tells you what Inherited trauma is, conceptually, spiritually and biochemically, teaches you ways to figure out if you may have inherited trauma and even ways to heal it.

We've unraveled the storied tapestry that is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its classical roots, delving into a philosophy that views health through the intricate lens of relationships, rather than isolated symptoms. The principles of yin and yang serve as the bedrock of this episode, providing a foundation for understanding how every aspect of our being is interconnected and how this contrasts with the Western medical paradigm.

Together, we navigated the philosophical landscape that sets Eastern and Western medicine philosophies on seemingly divergent courses. By comparing the preventive, balance-restoring focus of Chinese medicine with the symptom-centric approach of Western medicine, we gain a fresh perspective on healthcare. The episode illuminated how Chinese medicine practitioners use organ systems and patterns of dysfunction as their map for treatment, offering insights into achieving whole-body wellness that often escapes the grasp of conventional medicine.

Questions answered: 
What is Chinese medicine?
Hoe does Chinese medicine work?
What are its strengths and weaknesses?
What can be treated by Chinese medicine?
Does it really work? (Listen to the end for an incredible personal story)

By the end of our time together, you might find yourself inspired to explore the holistic benefits of Chinese medicine and consider how its time-tested approaches could enhance your own path to well-being.

Today we confront the stark reality that our understanding of human behavior could be deeply skewed. With an overwhelming majority of psychological studies based on a narrow demographic slice of humanity, the WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) bias raises profound questions about the universality of research findings. 

Then, we navigate the intimate and often controversial realm of parenting, where the choice between co-sleeping and bed-sharing stirs passionate debate among parents and experts alike. 

I examine a meta-review, dissecting the nuanced advantages and potential hazards linked to these practices. We take a close look at how factors such as socioeconomics and cultural norms shape parental decision-making and, consequently, child development.

Bringing in perspectives from various cultures, including the Aka tribe's unique childcare approaches, this episode offers an eye-opening contemplation on the deep-seated need for physical connection in rearing our young.

If you find yourself attracted to broken toxic people there is one harsh reality that you must understand. YOU ARE TOXIC TOO! No exceptions. 

This heart-to-heart is an ultimate call to arms against the cycle of toxicity we're all too familiar with. It's about transforming our empathy into sympathy that doesn't just resonate, but also alleviates, the challenges faced by those around us. 

My hope is that you'll emerge enlightened and empowered to rewrite your story, creating a legacy of healthy relationships built on a newfound understanding of self and others.

 In a conversation that's as timely as it is timeless, my incredible friend Jess and I unpack the notion that "The Revolution is Personal Evolution." With Presidents Day providing the backdrop and Black History Month lending its rich context, we couldn't have chosen a more opportune moment to dive into this transformative topic. By revisiting the legendary Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," we draw a compelling line connecting the personal upheavals we experience to the seismic shifts our society undergoes.

Join us as we peel back the layers of our personal stories and discover the ripple effect they have on the world around us. Jess and I get candid about our individual paths and the lessons learned along the way, providing you with a treasure trove of insights that promise to shake up your perspective. We're here to show you that true change doesn't flash across your TV screen—it starts in the mirror. Get ready to be inspired by a dialogue that doesn't just talk the talk but walks you through the very steps of personal revolution, one that ignites the sparks of societal transformation.

. We delve into the subconscious processes that drive this quest not as a deliberate pursuit of unhappiness, but as a manifestation of preexisting emotional struggles. As we navigate the complexities of these emotional mechanisms, I introduce a mantra that encourages a shift from blame to understanding, shedding light on how perceived malice might just be a misunderstanding or a lack of awareness.

The journey continues as we explore the power of taking emotional ownership, emphasizing that our responses to feelings are within our control, shaped by our past and the unique wiring of our nervous system. I share the profound impact of recognizing our patterns of blame and how freeing it can be to instead address our internal conflicts head-on. Join me in embracing this perspective, and together, let's cultivate a community that values self-reflection and the power of compassion over the ease of casting blame.

 Our esteemed guest, Trip Omashanti, author and yogi, joins me to illuminate this complex picture, where ancient yoga sutras converse with the language of modern psychology. We traverse the landscapes of Sanskrit scholarship to understand the subtle echoes of trauma embedded within terms such as samskaras and vasanas, revealing connections that transcend time and cultural boundaries.

Trip and I share anecdotes and insights on how a consistent physical practice like yoga can serve as a silent therapist for the unspoken traumas that shape our identities, offering a path to not just cope, but thrive in the rhythm of life's complexities.

Growing up, I never realized that my constant quest for approval was a beacon of my blurred childhood, where I often stepped into shoes too big for my little feet to fill. Today's episode peels back the layers of parentification, a complex journey many of us unknowingly embark on when thrust into adult roles too soon. Through stories and insights, we examine the ways in which carrying the weight of our families' emotional and instrumental needs has molded our adult lives, especially for those of us from Gen X and Midwestern millennials.

Have you ever felt a strange sense of fulfillment from being the caretaker in your relationships? We've all found comfort in familiar patterns, but what if these are echoes of a childhood where you played the parent too early? We reflect on how these experiences shape our need for approval and the invisible emotional labor that becomes intertwined with our self-worth. This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a heartfelt exploration of family dynamics, the legacies we inherit, and the courage it takes to confront and heal from our past.

This poignant discussion isn't merely about reminiscing; it's a step on the path to healing, as we recognize the strength in our struggles and the resilience that has brought us here.
