    Diagnosed Dad: James Smith's Journey with MND, Advocacy, and Living Life to the Fullest

    On today's inspiring and informative episode of Talks with Dr Shafer, Dr Shafer has Special Guest James Smith, a father of three living with motor neuron disease, on the show. James shares his journey and advocacy work to help spread awareness of MND (ALS), help share his story and resources with others living with the disease, and advocate for access to treatments, resources, and for further research into MND. James was diagnosed in June 2021 after experiencing symptoms for two years, and shares his story of disease progression and how it has affected him and his family. James created the podcast Diagnose Dad and the Facebook community MND and Beyond to educate and connect with others, from people living with MND to their loved ones and professionals. James emphasizes the importance of storytelling and sharing experiences to raise awareness and provide support. He encourages proactive engagement with resources and research studies, discusses the side effects he experienced with treatment and the alternative approaches he has explored, such as vitamins and supplements. James also talks about the benefits of massage therapy in managing his symptoms and the importance of listening to your body. James shares his bucket list experiences, including skydiving and climbing Mount Snowdon, and emphasizes the value of living in the present and pursuing meaningful experiences, and not waiting for a diagnosis to choose to pursue your dreams.

    They Didn't Show Up: Now What? Jun 01, 2024
    Show notes

    They didn't Show Up. Now what? on Talks with Dr Shafer. We have all had times when we were so excited about connecting with someone, sharing something with someone, and they simply didn't show. No response. No apology or excuses. They just didn't show. You may never know what happened. In your mind, the worst case scenario starts playing: what if they were in a horrible accident? You wonder. That would explain why they didn't show up, and they didn't even tell me they wouldn't be coming as planned. It is wonderful when we can give someone the benefit of the doubt rather than assuming malintent. Sometimes things just happen. Things are forgotten, schedules can't be followed because life gets in the way, and we drop the ball on communicating with the person that is left waiting for us. We've all been on both sides of the equation. But sometimes the person you are waiting for just doesn't care. Not that they don't care about you and your dreams and your goals, not that they think they aren't worthwhile or that you aren't enough. They simply aren't at the same level of investment in the meeting as you were. There are a myriad of reasons why. This person may be avoidant, have wanted to cancel but couldn't get up the nerve to, and chose passively to let the meeting slip by and to just disconnect rather than admit that for whatever reason, they don't want to be there. It's important to remember that whatever the reason, most decisions other people make simply aren't about you. Or me. Or anyone else. Most people are motivated by and making decisions based on their wants and needs, their beliefs and expectations, not of the world so much but more so of themselves. Some people expect relationships to fail, and they then fail at relationships. Some people expect to fail at work, and so they don't meet deadlines because... well, their limiting beliefs are in the driver's seat, and they are arriving at the destination where they set the GPS to, because that's what they planned on happening. Even if they may want things to unfold differently, they are using the same set of tools and the same mindset that they have been using for a long time, and if these beliefs make them think negatively about themselves and how they show up in the world, they will likely continue to show up that way until they do the work to assess their mindset and change what they are telling themselves in their head about their potential, the outcomes and how they will navigate the journey to get there. Just make sure when you are dissappointed by someone not showing up for you, that you don't take it personally. Their choices likely have very little or nothing to do with you. THey have to do with a lifetime of data and beliefs and expectations that create their reality, a reality that you may simply be a temporary guest of, or even just a passerby. And that's okay. Just don't let their choices interfere with your journey, your beliefs, the things you are telling yourself as you move forward into the world and towards your goals.

    Giving and Gratitude: Sometimes Love is A Washing Machine on Talks with Dr Shafer May 28, 2024
    Show notes

    Giving and Gratitude: Sometimes Love is a Washing Machine


    Hi everyone, this is Dr. Shafer on Talks with Dr. Shafer. I'm so glad you're here. I'm a physician, mom, life coach, publisher, author, and I am passionate about storytelling as a tool to help you reclaim your story, reframe it, and build your most beautiful future. Thank you for joining me today on this short talk with Dr. Shafer.


    Today, I wanted to share a story I wrote about my husband called Love is a Washing Machine.


    My last name is very precious to me, Stedron. In Czech, it means generous. It is a gift to me from my husband, the most generous man I have ever met. I have seen his generosity in countless moments with countless people. We were friends long before we married, and I can recall always being transfixed watching him speak to strangers.


    He's the kind of man who helps elderly people get home safe, who gives directions to anyone and everyone and in all sorts of languages, who helps anyone in any way he can always, no matter what. He gives his time and attention without expectation and feels grateful for the small and large opportunities life gives him to be of service to others. He has helped me in immeasurable ways and has inspired me more than I could ever say. He believes in the good in people in a way that is rare and admirable and his kindness is infectious. Recently, we went out to lunch at a restaurant. The charming restaurant was empty except for us and a few employees.


    The owner had come upon some hard luck and was struggling to cope emotionally with the sudden changes that left the entirety of the restaurant and her family's future squarely on her shoulders and in her hands. She was exhausted and stressed and trying her best to keep it all together. We talked a bit, we cried a bit, we hugged, and we shared our stories of challenges and of the triumphs waiting.


    hidden in the wings, even in the moments that we can't see them. Even though the challenges seemed stacked against her, she still believed that she would overcome them. She absentmindedly mentioned that on top of all the major issues she was facing, even the washing machine was broken now and needed to be replaced. Life was handing her a mess, and even her washing machine gave up on its job to help clean it up.


    I sat down at our table next to my husband who looked at me with kindness and said, we can help her. I smiled knowingly at him and watched as he pulled over. I smiled knowingly at him and watched as he pulled out what she had said it would take her to replace the washing machine.


    Like I have so many times before, I sat and watched as he walked over to the kind woman and gave her generously what he could. He handed her the bill and the money. She was surprised and first said, no, eyes wide, but then...


    Her shoulders relaxed and she hugged my husband and her son, who was helping at the restaurant, wiped his eyes and shook his head.


    It wasn't an extraordinarily big gift, but it was enough so that it was one less thing on the list of challenges, one less hurdle to jump over, one less task taking up their time in this season of life that required them to really hustle, to work countless hours and simply get through. It was a small thing that we could do so that she could remember that good things can happen and that they will happen for her. And we have seen her continue to work tirelessly since this moment to rebuild and to create a more beautiful future for herself and her family than before, one step at a time.

    Swimming Lessons: Sometimes You Must Swim or Go Down With The Ship. Choose to Swim. May 26, 2024
    Show notes

    Swimming Lessons: Sometimes You Must Swim or Go Down With The Ship. Choose to Swim.


    Thank you for joining me for this Short Talk on Talks with Dr Shafer. I'm a physician, mom, life coach, musician, author, and I am passionate about using storytelling as a tool to help you reclaim and reframe your story and move forward to build your most beautiful future.

    Today on this short talk, I wanted to read something I wrote called Swimming Lessons. It's time. You feel it in your bones. It's time to change. At first, the knowing was a quiet drip in the background. This way of doing things was no longer keeping the water out. But this is the way you've done things for as long as you can remember.


    So you kept going on about it. Hours, days, weeks, months, and even years, knowing a change was necessary, but stuck in the rut of your old habits, stuck in a vessel that was taking on water. Drip, drip, drip.


    Eventually, what was once a whisper became a louder, sharper dissonance, and the leaking vessel no longer could be ignored. This is your ship, but it is just a ship, just a thing created to take you to where you want to go. But it isn't doing that any longer. The ship is going down. You can stay in it.


    But the habits and lifestyle that you have created are taking on water and you can either go down with the ship or change. There comes a time in life where it is sink or swim. The waters may be rough and uninviting, but in order to move on in life, we simply have to do it. We must face our fear, jump in and swim.


    The scariest moment is right before you decide to jump. Every moment after, there is no room for fear. There is only room for moving towards your goal. Once you commit to your dreams and take action, there is no time for fear. All of your energy is used to stay afloat and moving forward. You are no longer in the sinking ship.


    You are now in charge of your destiny. You did not go down with that ship. You are still here. Keep swimming.


    Thank you for joining me on this short talk with Dr. Shafer. Stay safe and take care. I'll talk to you soon.
