The Terri Cole Show

I am thrilled to have my pal Dr. Daniel Amen back on the show for a third time to talk about his brand new book, Change Your Brain Every Day. Vic and I have been working through this book - and let me tell you, it's so accessible, no matter how busy you are! In this conversation, Dr. Amen gives us some daily habits we can begin for better brain health, and offers his unique perspective on why brain health is just as important as physical health.

Were you raised in a family with silent agreements?

Were there topics you knew you could not discuss with your parental impactors?

Did big fights or upsetting events happen only for everyone to wake up the following day and pretend they didn't?

Or do you have unexpressed expectations for your partner, family, or friends and feel disappointed when they fail to meet them?

Silent agreements or expectations are often dysfunctional, which is why, in this episode, I am breaking down the dangers of this behavior and where it comes from. I am also giving you questions to understand where you have silent agreements in your life so you can move to expressed or clean agreements.

Today's guest, Mimi Bouchard, is the CEO and Founder of the modern meditation app, Superhuman. As Mimi tells us, she created this app after having the idea to record and listen to 'future self' meditations on the go, which quickly changed her life. Her core belief is if you can visualize the future you want, you can create it.

I hope you find this conversation as inspiring as I did.

Are you a generous giver in relationships?

Do you give from your heart? From a place of love?

Or are you a little more tit-for-tat, where you expect something specific in return for giving?

If you answered yes to any of these, or you recognize these patterns in your relationship, this episode is for you. I break down the difference between relational unions (more heart-centered) and transactional unions (more quid pro quo).

I also give you steps to become more balanced between the two, because you do not want the pendulum to swing too far in either direction.

I am so excited to introduce you to today's guest, Sarah Jenks, an ordained Priestess who, like so many of us, used to be a people-pleaser and codependent. Sarah and I have traveled the same circles for years, yet this is the first time I actually got to speak to her.

She is an expert in the Sacred Feminine and I found our conversation fascinating. You'll learn how to bring more ceremony into your life, how Sarah defines Sacred Femininity, and so much more.

Does Father's Day bring up hard feelings for you?

Does it give you anxiety because it feels like you can't escape the endless promotions for Father's Day?

Or does it leave you longing for a different (or any) relationship with your father?

If so, this episode is for you. I talk about my difficult journey with my father, how to handle grief around Father's Day, and alternate ways to 'manage' the day to make it less difficult.

Today's guest, therapist, and author, Minaa B., is an amazing original thinker. I first came across her work on Instagram, and I was blown away by how precise she is with her words and finding the intersection of our humanness.

I love her content and wanted to have her on the show to talk about her new book, Owning Our Struggles: A Path to Healing and Finding Community in a Broken World. We also chat about boundaries and Minaa describes how she deals with pushback against having her phone on "do not disturb."

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.

How do you feel about change?

Does it make you anxious? Nervous? Uncomfortable?

Do you tend to want things to stay the same?

Think about how you might feel if your favorite shampoo was discontinued, your favorite grocery shop closed, or someone took "your spot" in a gym or yoga class.

In this episode, I am talking about how to navigate change, growth, and transformation, and where grief fits into this process. We have to grieve the way things were to embrace how things are. This is true even when we experience changes we desire, like getting married, buying a home, or relocating for a dream job. We still need to mourn the loss of how our life used to be.
