This interview with Congressman Tim Ryan was recorded for our free online summit Surviving to Thriving that launched on Monday May 11, and this aired on Day 5 of the summit. It was such an inspiring interview that I knew I needed to have more platforms for it to be heard.

Congressman Tim Ryan is in his 18th year of serving in the U.S. Representatives in northern Ohio, where he has made it his passion and his purpose to heal America.

Years ago he discovered mindfulness as a personal practice and has brought the tools of mindfulness into his professional leadership. Not only has he created mindfulness programs within Congress, including meditations and training, but he is committed to bringing greater awareness and compassion into all aspects of our country.

Tim has recently rereleased his book Healing America, demonstrating how we can create lasting positive change in ways that everyone benefits, from education, farming, support of our veterans, our leaders and our families.

Tim's interviews offer great hope for how mindful leadership has the power to change our nation, and especially during this time of the pandemic can allow us to come together in unity and support of one another.

Don't miss this, as I'm sure it'll offer tools for renewal of spirit as well as practical ways for you to make change in your local communities.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we have an opportunity to bring awareness and less stigma to the emotional and mental experiences that are just part of being human. While some suffer more than others,especially now during this pandemic, no one is immune from feeling their emotions a bit more strongly. In this episode, I talk about the various ways that we can use our challenges as points of growth; and to break an assumption many people are having, this does not mean that you necessarily have to go learn a new language or have a huge project accomplished at the end of quarantine. Perhaps the best way for you to thrive right now is to slow down and just practice self-care. And to kick off our online summit, Surviving to Thriving, which goes live today, I talk about the various ways in which you can grow through adversity in your relationship right now, because anything that was just bubbling under the surface is now exposed. What a great time to slow down, connect and put some conscious effort and attention into your relationship. You have the time! Be well!

How fitting is it that May is Mental Health Awareness month, as we are all now, and in this week's episode, I talk about mental health and all the various ways that it can look for different people. There is no one definition of what it means to have mental health and yet it is so easy to get stuck in unhealthy habits and patterns in reaction when feeling "negative" emotions. To me, mental health is not the absence of "negative" emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, anxiety, depression (or so many more…); it's the ability to see, name, and sit with the emotion that is arising and not reacting to it, pushing it away or being in resistance or denial of it. I talk about the many areas in our lives in which struggle due to the coronavirus is bringing up additional challenges and offer tools for how to maneuver through these difficult times.

In this episode, I interview Lindsay Weisner, a clinical psychologist, who works with suicidal teenagers, and has also co-authored a book on finding the steps towards lasting happiness. The majority of our conversation revolves the topic of suicide, as we both have a close relationship to it; my dad commit suicide when I was 10, and her mom has attempted - unsucessfully - 9 times. We talk about the shame and the stigma that can easily come with the reality of someone close to you having either died or been close to it. Her mother's experience has given her great compassion to work with teenagers who are suicidal, and she knows the value of giving them a safe place to talk about their thoughts, emotions, and even intentions. In addition to her important work with teenage suicidality, Lindsay shares that her favorite tip in the book co-authored, The Ten Steps to Finding Happy, is to find your passion and your purpose. This is a great reminder for all of us to focus on during the pandemic.

To learn more about Lindsay: Lindsay Weisner is a clinical Psychologist in Long Island, New York. She graduated from Georgetown University in 1999 and was awarded a fellowship in child development at the NIH/NICHD. She received her doctorate from C.W. Post, LIU, and went on to pursue post-doctoral training at the American Institute of Psychoanalysis. Dr. Weisner is the current host of the Neurotic Nourishment Podcast, the author of the Psychology Today Blog The Venn Diagram Life, and the co-author of the book Ten Steps To Finding Happy.

In this episode, I interview Robert Strock, a licensed therapist, who offers beautiful wisdom for guiding deeper awareness of our emotions, and our ways to respond to them. Especially at this time of the coronavirus, these tools and perspectives are profoundly powerful as we not let our emotions define us, while learning how to strengthen the mind to be kinder to ourselves, as well as actively creating the silver lining that can come from this time in our lives. The silver lining starts with asking ourselves, "what is the next good thing I can do in the next 30 seconds that will be kind to myself?" He believes that emotions are a terrible barometer for how we are feeling, and it's more important what we do with those emotions. Right now we are all getting time to practice this new response pattern that can serve us now, and when life returns to our new "normal."

Robert's bio: Robert Strock, L.M.F.T., has maintained a private psychotherapy and spiritual counseling practice for nearly 50 years. He is the originator of "Humanistic Spirituality," an innovative form of spiritual psychology which evolved over many decades of spiritual practice, a time during which he encountered profound numinous experiences coupled with the greatest physical and emotional challenges of his life.

Awareness That Heals began taking a deeper form when Robert courageously navigated the depths of despair following a kidney transplant which resulted in complications from the medications required to maintain his surviving kidney. In his own words, "What this book fosters is an awareness that sees both our deep emotional challenges and triggers our caring heart to support healing at the same time."

Robert has served as chairperson for the Center for Authentic Living, which is recognized as a leading counseling practice for the Southern California business and entertainment communities. Twenty years ago Robert co-founded and today co-chairs The Global Bridge Foundation whose vision and mission is to contribute to the creation of a more compassionate, just, and peaceful world that honors the dignity of all beings. Global Bridge partners with other foundations to address global warming and the alleviation of poverty in underserved communities. Robert is also the originator of Psycho-Economics, a creative system of principles and practices designed to align financial objectives with one's most essential core values.

The Resilience Effect with Francis Piche Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, I talk with Francis Piche, who has made it his life's work to focus on resilience and mindset. I love the definition he shares, that resilience isn't necessarily about "bouncing back" after adversity, but rather, it's about how you "bounce forward". We all have an opportunity to choose our response to what curveballs life throws at us, and mindset, along with the framework of tools will help you to get there. Francis shares many aspects of how to bring more resilience into your life and the power that it can have on you, including how to attain lasting happiness. At a time that the world is craving healing, it feels like we are all going to be put to the test of our own resilience, so this feels like a timely, and timeless, topic.

To learn more about Francis:

Francis Piché is the host of The Resilience Element Show that explores how individuals can follow their heart to accomplish their dreams despite delay and adversity encountered along the way.

Raised in Quebec, Francis began cutting his teeth in sales at just 8-years-old by going door-to-door selling products for charities and fundraisers. Pounding the pavement pounded into Francis a love for connecting with people and fueled his meteoric rise to top sales performer status at multiple international corporations, including Xerox.

Soon after, Francis realized sales teams driven by numbers and dollar signs alone resulted in individuals who felt defined by numbers and disillusioned by signs of despair. Refusing to believe that making massive money and having huge happiness must exist in opposition, Francis embarked on a journey to discover the key element to sustained and sustainable satisfaction in life. His answer? The Resilience Element.

Hoping to share his resilience revelation with the world and help others discover it for themselves, Francis created The Resilience Element Show. Each episode contains inspiring and entertaining interviews with celebrities and remarkable leaders as they explore the ups, downs, do's and don'ts on the journey to following your heart and making it big.

The Universe is Calling...How are You Answering? Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

I believe that we are being called upon by the Universe to slow down and reflect upon how we've been living our lives, and choose a new, more intentional way of being. For some, this is like a gift of time; for others, it's been the very thing they've been living distractedly and defending against. Regardless, now is the time to face what's hard to face, and choose how we can best be during these uncertain times. In this episode, I talk about the various aspects of how to integrate tools of acceptance, allowing, being present (and more!), and how these are the very tools to get us all through these universal challenges we are facing as a humanity.

Managing Overwhelming Emotions with Hilary Jacobs Hendel Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

In light of the coronavirus, this is going to be the first of many episodes in which I'll be offering you tools to manage your overwhelming emotions at this time of unprecedented worldwide pandemic and self-quarantining.

It's only natural for us all to be experiencing some degree of anxiety, fear, sadness, loss, confusion, overwhelm during this time. There is so much unknown, there are so many plans that we've had to cancel or postpone, there is loneliness, isolation and of course our emotions will be along for the ride. Having tools to know what to do when these emotions start to take over will be more helpful now than ever. In this episode, I interview psychotherapist Hilary Jacobs Hendel who guides us through a framework known as the change triangle to map where our emotions are, and how to notice when our inhibitory emotions (such as anxiety, shame and guilt) or defensive emotions (such as depression, resistance, addiction, denial, etc…) are blocking us from feeling our core emotions (joy, sadness, fear, anger, disgust or excitement). I also add the framework of mindfulness for how we can name our emotions to be able to calm our brain and body.

To learn more about Hilary and her work: Hilary Jacobs Hendel, LCSW, takes the complex world of emotions and makes them easy to understand and work with for greater peace, calm and confidence. She is the developer of the Change Triangle tool for emotional health. Hilary is also the author of the award-winning self-help book on emotions called, "It's Not Always Depression: Working the Change Triangle to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to Your Authentic Self" (Random House, 2018). She is a certified psychoanalyst and AEDP psychotherapist and supervisor. She has published articles in The New York Times, TIME, Oprah, Salon, and professional journals. Hilary also consulted on the psychological development of characters on AMC's Mad Men. Hilary's blog on emotions and how to use them for wellbeing is read worldwide.
