The Work IN to move out of stress, tension & anxiety

This is part 3 of our 3 part series called partnering with your brain. If you haven't heard part 1&2 be sure go back and check those out. Last time Collin Jewett and I discussed how we can choose to experience moments in ways that will improve our memory and how stress kills creativity. Collin is the Director of Coaching for Superhuman Academy, an e learning company known for their blockbuster learning and memory courses.  As an engineering student Collin struggled with the transition from high school and found himself failing, feeling stupid and being rejected at job fairs. He knew he needed help. So after a tearful experience with his guidance counselor and making some humbling changes, Collin learned how to work with his brain to turn his college career around, get on the Dean's list and land a senior engineering position out of college. Today he’s the author of 2 books on learning and lifestyle design and has helped executives, psychologists and nuclear engineers become learning experts. He’s on a mission to share the love of learning with as many people as possible and ultimately transform the education system.

There’s a lot going on in your head when you’re standing in front of a room teaching a class. Whether you teach math or kickboxing, history or yoga there’s a process that our brains go through to lock information in. As teachers & instructors & coaches we need to be aware of that so we can support our students and clients in their learning process. Today your going to hear about the foundation that you need to learn anything, what memory hooks are and how to use them, how to create a location filing system for your memories and why forgetting is important too. It’s gonna be good! 

So let’s dive back into our Work IN with Collin Jewett.

This is part 2 of our 3 part series Called partnering with your brain. If you haven't heard part 1 be sure go back and listen. Collin Jewett and I discussed how powerful our physical experience is when trying to learn and remember new things. Collin is the Director of Coaching for Superhuman Academy, an e learning company known for their blockbuster learning and memory courses.  As an engineering student Collin struggled with the transition from high school and found himself failing, feeling stupid and being rejected at job fairs. He knew he needed help. So after a tearful experience with his guidance counselor and making some humbling changes, Collin learned how to work with his brain to turn his college career around, get on the Dean's list and land a senior engineering position out of college. Today he’s the author of 2 books on learning and lifestyle design and has helped executives, psychologists and nuclear engineers become learning experts. He’s on a mission to share the love of learning with as many people as possible and ultimately transform the education system.

An unsung and underappreciated piece to being successful as a fitness professional is creativity. Today’s episode is a mindset reset on what creativity is and it’s value to learning and memory. Collin and I discuss how to use creativity, curiosity and imagination to help our brains adapt to perceived environments and how stress can kill creativity and limit our success learning or remembering things.

Today we are kicking off a 3 part series Called partnering with your brain. In this series I’ve invited Collin Jewett to come work IN with us. Collin is the Director of Coaching for Superhuman Academy, an e learning company known for their blockbuster learning and memory courses.  As an engineering student Collin struggled with the transition from highschool and found himself failing, feeling stupid and being rejected at job fairs. He knew he needed help. So after a tearful experience with his guidance counselor and making some humbling changes, Collin learned how to work with his brain to turn his college career around, get on the Dean's list and land a senior engineering position out of college.

He’s on a mission to share the love of learning with as many people as possible and ultimately transform the education system.

The body, nervous system and movement are intricately connected to how we learn and remember things. And one of the biggest fears for our aging populations is memory loss, dementia and alzheimers. Movement is a key aspect to maintaining brain health so it makes sense that we should expand our understanding of that connection.

The systemic cultural dysregulation of our stress response interferes with how well we acquire knowledge, retain that knowledge and maintain creativity and social engagement. 

In today's episode Collin and I discuss the importance of context to learning, demystifying some common half truths about neuroplasticity and memory, embodied learning and so much more.

Welcome back - we are in the middle of a series on Burnout this month and it isn’t enough to be aware of it or complain about it without offering some practical ways to avoid it, to heal and recover from it and maybe protect ourselves from it in the future. Today's guest is going to help us with that.

Jo Bregnard is a consummate caregiver with a muti-faceted wellness experience and her story will touch your heart and maybe inspire you to look at how you do self care in a different way. Jo was touched by breast cancer in 2002 and knows from experience how hard it is for those who tend to others--as part of their careers or as personal support for friends or family members--to find the same attention for themselves. She helped nurse her husband through a serious burn injury and unexpected cardiac complications, she cared for her mom after her Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2016, and now she watches over her elderly father. 

Jo's story is not unique and it’s one that we can all learn from. Jo has been sharing yoga as one of many self care modalities as an instructor since 2015 And today she offers everyday self-care experiences through her online studio from her homestead in Southern Vermont. Where she lives with her husband, a menagerie of critters including 2 pet cows, Lou lou and Blossom.

For fitness professionals who are always on the go, always trying to be better at their job, you’d think integrating self care to avoid burnout or help us recover from the physical demands of our career would be a no brainer. Unfortunately just like with so many others who work in helping professions, we tend to be last on our own list if we make it on at all. And this leads to the inevitable physical, mental and emotional burnout and chronic stress that borders on self-traumatizing. It’s so common in the fitness industry it’s almost a right of passage.

Jo has extensive background in many different self care practices and that’s what we’re going to explore today. She believes that self care is essential to give our bodies and souls the support they need so we can continue doing the things that bring us joy and connection.

Jo's studio!
