EP 168: Creative Work: A Radical Act of Self-Love & Acceptance with Madeleine Ryan Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I interview Madeleine Ryan, Australian author of A Room Called Earth. After having been an actor, being diagnosed with autism and moving to the country, Madeleine is now working on a screen adaptation of her book. In this interview, Madeleine talks about creative work as a radical act, and a transformative practice -- why moments of discomfort are powerful opportunities for the intuitive, creative process. She talks about the importance of being honest with yourself and breaking the rules. She reflects on creativity as a way to develop tenderness with discomfort & how ease can point out our greatest contribution to the world. She offers heartfelt non-advice recommendations for those wanting to write a book, and speaks of writing as a practice of radical self-acceptance.

EP 167: Intuitive Scheduling with Antoinette Beauchamp Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I speak with Antoinette Beauchamp about Intuitive Scheduling and the ability to trust your inner compass for timing on meetings, launching projects and how to calendar your time in general. She talks about how to avoid burnout by blocking one-hour chunks in your day where you do something that brings you joy, instead of booking in a full day of meetings. She says that everyone is excited about a cancellation, because our lives are too full; therefore, there's no reason to feel guilty when you cancel a meeting if it's not the right timing. She talks about understanding the different cycles that you experience during the day, and limiting the number of times you do certain activities, like appointments. She describes the freedom of scheduling 2-hour blocks of what she calls 'intuitive time' (minus your phone) that allow for flashes of insight. We also talk about delegating, hiring/firing and the fear of being "too much".

EP 164: Embody your Wild with Eli Buren Sep 23, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I speak with Eli Buren, a dedicated practitioner of over 20 years in yogic embodiment, awareness, martial arts, and outdoor leadership. He walks his talk with practices like qi gong, tea ceremony, sensory awareness, skin time and reverence. He describes how deepening our relationship with nature helps us appreciate each other more, and why it's so important to become adept at both yin/yang aspects within ourselves: sharpness & softness, ferocity & vulnerability. He talks about how romantic love relationships naturally invite us into a place of being disturbed, and how turning toward discomfort can amplify intimacy and vitality. He shares why it's so important for men to spend time with other men, gives helpful tips for women and shares powerful methods from his international men's retreats.

EP 163: Your Symptoms are Your Conflicts: Germanic New Medicine with Dr. Melissa Sell Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I speak with Dr. Melissa Sell about how your body's symptoms tell the story of your inner conflicts. She shares Germanic New Medicine as a system of understanding the vast intelligence of the body, and how biological programs trigger in the body as a response to stress, shock and trauma. She describes several examples of symptoms (i.e. joint pain, skin problems, stubborn weight gain) and what inner conflicts would cause those symptoms (i.e. I'm not good enough, feeling attacked, abandonment). She says that the moment that most of us wonder, "What's wrong with me?" when physical symptoms arise, is when the body is actually in resolution mode. She offers a whole new way of understanding our body and encourages us to tap into our inner wisdom to make choices about our health.

EP 161: How Life Initiates Us with Dr. Rose Kumar Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I speak with Dr. Rose Kumar, founder of the Ommani Center and author of Becoming Real: Reclaiming Your Health in Midlife. She talks about how and why she left corporatized medicine 22 years ago to form her own private practice. She describes how 9 times out of 10 people intuitively know why they're sick and how she practices medicine from a 'how to transform the shadow' perspective. She says that 'getting over' something can harm us, and how courageously making space for emotions prevents future illness. She describes the Four Body System, the difference between open and closed systems and how leaving a closed system is an act of self-love. She prefers the term 'self-nourishment' to self-love and encourages us to ask ourselves what nourishes us -- and do more of that.
