Taking your body back with Amy Sheppard Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

The front woman for Aussie band Sheppard, Amy Sheppard was always upset with the look of her body, even from age 10 when she would look at magazines feeding her beauty standards she could never reach. In 2014 Amy performed for Ellen, an honour she was humbled by, but behind it all was the fear of not looking right, of being judged and of hating her body. Then she decided she wanted to be part of the solution so she published a photo of her in a not so flattering pose expressing her desire for people to stop punishing women for their imperfections. From there her body positive movement #kissmyfatass blew up and now Cass Dunn talks to Amy about what we can all do to be better.

Monitoring your meditation with Ariel Garten Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

Meditation is a thousand year old practice but Ariel has found a way to bring that practice into the 21st century with her breakthrough technology Muse: The Brain Sensing Headband. Her mission is to help people do a deep dive in understanding your brain, how it makes them who they are and how to help manage the crazy that resides in all of us.

Cass Dunn has already used the Muse headband to monitor herself and as a mindfulness and meditation teacher herself she has some fascinating insights on the technology. Cass and Ariel discuss the things wearables can teach us about ourselves and if it’s possible that technology is making us more detached from ourselves in the long run.
