The Kerby Method Podcast

This was a fantastic episode with Jess of A Sober Girl's Guide. She has built an amazing collection of resources for any and all things to stick with sobriety!

Jess shares her own journey of dipping into and out of sobriety for ten years before finding a system and methods that helped her to fully integrate sobriety. She discusses some of her very practical strategies and techniques, workbooks and planners, that offer a guided and accountable method for practicing sobriety. 

Jess is a lot of fun to speak with, and we discuss traditional recovery programs and why they may not work for everyone, the power of listening, and the importance of owning a trampoline. 

Jess kindly offered a free giveaway to one lucky gal for her Sober Plan of Action Workbook and Journal. The giveaway will take place next week in The Self Love Project Facebook Group linked below. 

If you have been trying to get sober, or stay sober, or are simply curious what a life without alcohol will look like, please enjoy this episode and the practical wisdom Jess and I share. 

If nothing else, you will leave with a renewed appreciation that sober girls have lots of fun!

Welcome to the first episode in my "Women who Shine" series.  As an entrepreneur, I am always interested in what makes some people take the leap, and reach amazing levels of personal and professional success, even when the odds may be seemingly stacked against them. So, I decided to launch a series on highlighting these women for inspiration and education. 

I know you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did, it was a genuine pleasure to catch up with an old friend and learn more about her mindset and her journey. 

Deborah is the kind of woman you read about on the cover of magazines and wonder if she can possibly be real., her story and success are simply astounding.

I am here to tell you, she is indeed real, and one of the most genuine people I have ever met.

Deborah is an elite performance expert and strategist, and has earned a reputation for her no "BS" speaking, coaching, and training methods in the worlds of high performing business executives and professional athletes from around the world. She has been dubbed "the secret weapon" of pro golfers, MLB players and NFL players. 

Deborah understands the mindset of high achievers because she is one. With only a high school diploma, Deborah catapulted her career from answering phones as a receptionist to become the owner/CEO of a $20 million corporation. After selling the corporation Deborah founded ClearEdge, LLC.

She is a living, breathing example of the financial success and freedom that is possible when you do not allow circumstances, education, society, hardships or economics define who you are or you can become.

Deborah is also one of the most grounded people I know, and does not approach success with a push, push, push mentality. Rather, she works in conjunction with her emotional state and psychological well being. 

We cover topics like race car driving and shark diving, along with neurological patterns and how we can begin to shift them in our favor to create the lifestyles we desire.

What a GREAT episode! I catch up with first time REPEAT GUEST: Justin Sunseri, lfmt in a late night chat. (Late for me because it was 9pm  )

Justin continues to do amazing work in the world teaching about the Polyvagal theory and ways to address challenges from a perspective of being stuck, not broken. He utilizes this hash tag on his website and Instagram accounts, #stucknotbroken, to reinforce the idea that people are not broken or unfixable, they just may need some help getting un-stuck.

He has a wonderfully informative podcast, The Polyvagal podcast, that serves to provides information on the polyvagal theory, good standards and practices for therapy, and ways you can begin thinking about “stuckness” from a new approach.

Justin has been working with underprivileged youth and families since graduating in 2008. This experience has been accumulated through various settings, including: school-based, outpatient, residential, juvenile hall and suicide/crisis phone center. Justin’s entire career (so far) has been working directly with children, teens and their parents. Modalities include: educational or therapeutic parenting groups, family therapy, play therapy and individual traditional talk therapy.

In this episode we discuss the importance and ease of implementing play, what we think people are doing during quarantine, and my own personal green dragon in the bathtub.

I had a wonderful time speaking with Justin and I think that enjoyment comes through in this episode. Please come and celebrate the simple joy of human connection around topics you may love as much as I do: how our body and nervous system respond to stress and what we can do about it, ways to be more in the present moment, and of course, SE and the polyvagal theory.

They have taken their professional practice and have combined it with their personal experience as a couple to create a powerful process that supports other couples in healing, growing and nurturing connected partnerships.

Join me for an informative interview with Dr Neal Barnard, Adjunct Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, and President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.  

He has recently published his latest book, Your Body in Balance: The New Science of food, Hormones, and Health. In this episode,  we discuss the role of hormones in various health conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, dysmenorrhea, and  cancer.  

Dr Barnard graciously answers my questions regarding the differences between hormones found in sheep versus cow milk, and points to a collection of research indicating soy is not a cause of elevated estrogen levels.  We speak of the commonality between cheese and morphine, and the role of popularized fake meat options, such as the Impossible Burger. 

Please join me for a conversation rooted in wonderful information on how we can begin making new choices for our health through implementing better nutrition practices based on a myriad of scientific evidence.

FREE WEBINAR/ MASTERCLASS: NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION 

https://zoom.us/j/624670545

Join me for this enlightening conversation with Cary Fortin, co-founder of New Minimalism, public speaker, and published author.  

Cary's company, New Minimalism, is a decluttering and design firm. She specializes in the psychology behind decision-making and attachments, as well as connecting with new organizations who can benefit from clients' donations. She currently resides in Boise, Idaho with her partner, rescue dog, and two small children.

Cary addresses not only the physical act of removing clutter and creating a beautiful space for yourself, but how to be gentle with yourself through the untangling of emotional attachments as it pertains to our stuff!

She is an advocate that choosing a minimalist lifestyle does not mean you need to live in a van or out of a backpack, but that you can create a beautiful home that reflects who you are as a person. She tunes me into the idea that choosing the life you want and what matters most is directly reflected within the environment that we create. 

In a time of uncertainty, and in a period where many of us are spending more time than ever in our homes, this episode serves as a beacon of heartfelt strategy to create a space that you want to spend time in.

She brings up the wonderful fact that the only two ways for women to shut down the busy-ness and multi-tasking nature of their brains is through meditation or orgasm.

Join me as Clare Pooley tells her story through having a lovely life and home yet dealing secretly with alcohol addiction. She shares the ways she was struggling  and how writing helped her to change her life. 

Clare began her sober journey with the help of an anonymous sober blog, Mummy was a Secret Drinker, and found comfort and healing not only in the writing itself, but in the community and vast legions of women who reached out and identified with her story. Clare touched and influenced thousands with her blog, and went on to publish her first novel, a memoir, The Sober Diaries, which detailed the trials, tribulations, and humor found in her first year of sobriety.  

I was lucky to read Clare's latest book and first novel, The Authenticity Project,  a few weeks prior to the release date and I truly loved it.  It was wonderful to speak with her about character development, the affection she feels for her characters, and how she goes about her writing process. Clare speaks on how living with addiction in "secret" led her to develop the ideas and characters for this novel as she wondered what would happen if we all just started telling the truth about our lives. 

Clare is a delightful human being with a wonderful sense of humor (cheeky, as they say) who has turned her world around and offered hope and inspiration to thousands of women through her writing. 

If you are looking for a novel that will touch your heart, make you think, and delight you to your core--I cannot recommend her book enough.

Laura McKowen is breath of fresh air,  and it was a pleasure to interview her on the actual day of her book release. She is the author of "We are the Luckiest" and speaks openly about moving forward in a life of sobriety, what it took to actually write her book, and how she transformed her life into one led by flow, not adrenaline. 

Before Laura got sober, she had a long successful career in public relations in the advertising world where "liquid lunches were frequent and drinking at your desk in the late afternoon was perfectly normal".  In the five years since she stopped drinking, Laura  has become recognized as a fresh voice in the recovery movement. Beloved for her soulful and irreverent writing, she leads sold out yoga based retreats and other online courses that teach people how to say yes to a bigger life. 

Laura is incredibly grounded and offers a much needed perspective to the recovery community, and to anyone who finds themselves performing actions on a regular basis that don't align with how they feel inside. 

If you are a long time fan of Laura's work or this is your first exposure to her, I guarantee you will love this episode and maybe learn something about yourself along the way.
