The Kenshō Way

Regrets from the past create depression. Fear based projections into the future create anxiety. Only the power of the present moment offers balance to the body, mind and spirit. Join us on this foundational exploration of a resilience essential, being fully here, now and in this moment. This is the Kensho way.  

On this short-cast, HeroTalk.org coffee break, I provide two solid solutions for finding DAILY time for self-care in spite of the swirling chaos of Life. These two simple strategies have been total game-changers for my students and coaching clients to take back control, gain greater self-care time and add some serious dollars to their resilience bank account.  

On this shortcast of the HeroTalk.org podcast we take a look at how to navigate adversity with ease and grace, even when life challenges are hammering us down with relentless force.  

When it comes to resilience building proper breathing tops the list of low hanging fruit that pays HUGE dividends in improving all aspects or our mental and physical health. We have all heard the term "mouth breather" and we don't want to be one of those...right? Well, it turns out that mouth breathing is harmful to your health and in this interview our guest, Rob Davis, talks about the benefits for nasal breathing as well as his new product that fixes mouth breathing at night. The ROI here is huge Heroes, don't miss this one!   

The challenges we are facing as a Hero Culture are significant. As Warriors we are primed to fight all challenges which can be a just cause but the price we pay to our mental and physical health is profound. What if there were another way, a way that allows us to address challenges AND create greater resilience. In this short-cast we will cover just such a technique that is a POWERFUL way to navigate adversity.  

Our guest, Bill Fogarty, owner/founder of 21Clets, a leading edge First Responder training organization, lays down some timeless wisdom to not only survive the demanding career of a First Responder, but to actually thrive amidst the chaos of modern times, especially with regard to the current significant challenges being faced by the law enforcement community.  

PTSD911 is a documentary film about real people who have chosen to work in professions that require above average heroism. These men and women have jobs that require a willingness to face what most cannot even imagine and that journey causes ongoing and compounding issues related to post traumatic stress injuries and disorders. This work is all about smashing the stigma and promoting awareness.  

Get ready Heroes...this is a wild ride. Our guest, Brock Bevell, founder of Chase The Vase Challenge, is going to blow your mind. Brock was a LEO with a true passion for the job until a serious injury ended his career. After multiple knee surgeries he became, as so many have, addicted to opioids. After an intense struggle he overcame his challenges to full recovery and now he channels that experience into helping others, especially those in the first responder community. Brock's passion is infectious and his techniques are...unconventional. You are gonna love this show. Enjoy!   

Our guest, Robin Wald, takes the woo woo out of astrology and shows us how this complex, mathematical based system is a true science. This is Robin's second appearance on the show and for good reason, she's a master of her craft.  We discuss how things are shifting in 2021 from an astrological perspective and how some true relief and opportunity is happening in the transition of the Spring Equinox.

Our guest, Rachelle Zemlok, is a psychologist, public speaker, author, specialist in law enforcement and firefighter families as well as a podcast host of Code 3 Families. Rachelle and I take a dive into how the unique family dynamics and challenges created by having a spouse or partner who is a first responder can be navigated with more ease and grace. While there are many gems in this interview, what really impressed me was Rachelle's wisdom with regard to first responder kids and how we can best support them at their various developmental levels...pure gold.  Enjoy!
