The TruthMap Podcast

Michelle and I followed each other on Instagram a couple of years ago and it took us a little bit to figure out how that came to be! Michelle is a mindful body coach and her company's name is Rewire and Inspire. In this conversation we talk about the reasons for "why" you want to improve your body in the first place, and cover eating disorders with Dr. Lukens' insight on how anorexia, bullemia, and obesity are 3 paths a person can take who all may be coping with the same issue.  Find her everywhere at @rewire_and_inspire.

I sat down with Emily King, the founder of the online publication C Word Magazine. The C word for them stands for "Celebration" but they invite you to discover what the C Word Means for you! "Is it someone calling you one particular derogatory word? Is it creativity, content, collaboration, cruelty, community, or change? Is it to challenge yourself?..." Emily and I discuss Shame and its role in goal-setting and discover why she founded a publication that focused on the stories of people that weren't being told by the mainstream media, such as stories about female genital mutilation or mom guilt.

Enlightenment is the awareness of your existence that strips away all the “acceptance criteria” you place on yourself in order for you to love you, just for you. We have mental health issues because we lack enlightenment, and we can’t reach enlightenment if we have mental health issues. We can’t fix our mental health issues without some genuine INTEREST in becoming enlightened…It’s nuts! We’re nuts! Humans are crazy, all of us! And life is a vicious circle made up of paradoxes just like this one. 

If you have to ask if you’re enlightened, then you aren’t. This truth is a bit tricky to come to know and even harder to accomplish when you’re smack dab in the middle of present culture instead of a secluded hut on a mountain in Tibet. So kudos to you if you’ve achieved it like me, while being surrounded by a sea of modern-day content that does very very little to impress upon you that you are lovable!

And that's on Integrity. This episode that is! How can we re-evaluate resolutions that we set last December in the context of a year that’s so drastically changed everything for us? How can people whose goals were derailed due to covid, perhaps due to losing a job, moving unexpectedly, or having their life uprooted in a number of other ways cope if they feel they haven’t measured up to their expectations? These are important questions to ask if we want to set and achieve our goals for 2021. In this episode I dive into the 3 things you need to cultivate in order to set and stick to your new year's resolutions and to help cope with the fact that perhaps you didn't achieve everything you set out to in 2020.

A human universal is something that all humans experience across all genders, cultures, sexualities, careers, and life experiences. Our need to escape our reality is what drives our acting out. In this episode we delve into Escapism and get a good idea of what it is as a concept.

In this podcast, Dr. Lukens talks about our goal of success from the perspective of the dark side of our motivational moon. Do you know why you have the goals you've set in place? Do you want success because you really want that house or that car, or do you want security? Do you want success because the shame of failure would be too painful for you to experience? Or perhaps it's because the feeling of sadness would be too painful to come to terms with if don't accomplish enough in your life...these are just some specific examples of "stuff" that would be found on the dark side of your motivational moon that is driving you to want to achieve certain things in life. But, if you are operating from a place of pain-avoidance, then your goal is not based in pure DESIRE. It's based in a DESIRE to AVOID a certain type of emotional pain. This leaves you in a state of ambivalence.... where the motivations behind why you do -- what you do become foggy. We hope you enjoy this episode. 

In this week's episode, Dr. Lukens shares his thoughts on gaslighting. Gaslighting is the “manipulatIon of (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity". We associate gas-lighting with emotional abuse in a relationship.
