Episode 10: Behind Healthy Sleep: Getting to the Root of Sleep Resistance with Dr. Funke Brown

In this episode, we will learn about In this episode, we will learn about the significance of sleep, how it helps our bodies to real and recover, and how it impacts our mood, memory, and decision-making. Get to the root cause of sleep deprivation, understanding why it happens and how it affects our bodies with me and Dr. Funke Brown. 
Key Takeaways: 
The Importance of Sleep - Sleep is a fundamental component of a healthy life, serving as a vital time for our bodies to heal and restore themselves. However, sadly, it has been set aside by many professionals in their pursuit to achieve success or meet demanding goals. 
Metabolism and Sleep - Sleep deprivation can affect the body's ability to efficiently utilize energy. Hence, getting enough sleep is super important for keeping your energy levels up and your metabolism running smoothly.  
HALTS (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired, Stressed) - When a person experiences any of these states, they are more likely to struggle with managing their emotions and functioning optimally. 
The Resistance to Rest and Sleep - When we don't know how much sleep affects everything else in our lives, we don't give it the attention it deserves. We tend to set it aside, spread ourselves too thin, and try to compensate for other things. 
Listening to Your Body - When we pay attention to what our bodies are telling us, we can better understand our needs and take steps to address them. 
Rest without Sleep - Rest is more than just closing our eyes and drifting off to sleep. It's about nourishing our minds, bodies, and souls in various ways.

Episode 9: The Binary Nature of the Consciousness that Drives oppression

In this episode, we will learn about the impact of consciousness on our daily lives and relationships and how our perception of the world around us influences our behavior and communication. Get to the root cause of the binary nature of the consciousness that’s holding us back from true collaboration and mutual understanding with me.  
Key Takeaways: 
The Definition of Consciousness - The state of being awake and aware of one’s surroundings. 
Perception is Projection - How we see and interpret the world around us is often a reflection of our internal beliefs, biases, and experiences 
Binary Consciousness - The binary nature of consciousness drives oppression by perpetuating a belief in scarcity—thinking that one must lose for another to win. 
Embracing a Shared Victory - When we are trapped in binary consciousness, we overlook the possibilities of collaboration and shared victories and fail to recognize that many situations can be approached in ways that allow all parties to benefit and thrive.  
Helpful Resource: 
By changing how we think and being more open-minded and cooperative rather than stuck in rigid divisions, we can create better relationships and progress together.  
Notable Highlights: 
“Our perception of our relationships of what we're seeing, hearing, feeling, and tasting, it's what drives our listening, behavior, and communication.” 
“We are currently living in this space of consciousness of scarcity having the historical made-up belief that if you win, I must lose.” 
“At the end of the day, nothing that we do and change will make a difference until we start to evolve this consciousness.”

Episode 8: How Subconscious Blocks Get in the Way of Our Best Parenting with Dr.

In this episode, we will learn about parenting myths that hinder effective parenting, the impact of subconscious beliefs on parenting, and how understanding these influences can lead to more effective and empathetic parenting practices. Get to the root cause of parenting challenges and transform our approach for the better with me and Dr. Victoria Ang-Nolasco. 
 
Key Takeaways: 
The Crucial Impact of Parenting - While experts and therapists can certainly provide valuable support, it's ultimately the parents who have the deepest impact on the development and well-being of their children. 
The Impact of Labeling Children - People often label children without understanding why they behave a certain way. This labeling can make the behavior worse over time, creating a harmful cycle. 
Understanding Secondary Trauma - Recognizing the danger of a flawed belief that "If an event or experience doesn't happen directly to us, it doesn't affect us" helps us better support people who have indirectly faced distressing events and create a healthier community. 
Fear-based Parenting - Some argue that instilling fear in children is a way to discipline them, but such thinking often stems from unresolved personal experiences rather than effective parenting strategies. 
Embracing Inclusivity in Parenting - Inclusive parenting requires more than just tolerance; it involves actively accepting diverse backgrounds and ensures that all families feel supported and respected in their unique parenting experiences.

Episode 7: Personal Development as a Process Not a Destination

In this episode, we will learn about the three common traps individuals encounter on their personal development journey, along with three valuable tips to navigate through them effectively. Get to the root cause of these thought traps surrounding personal development with me and navigate our growth journey with confidence and resilience.
Key Takeaways:
The “I-Already-Know” Thought Trap - People who believe they have already attained all the knowledge and skills necessary for growth may close themselves off to new ideas, or skills because they assume they have nothing more to gain. 
Embracing the Imperfect Journey - Making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process but it's difficult to accept this truth if you keep expecting flawless results in everything you do. 
Understanding How We Learn - The four stages of learning are all about going from not knowing something to mastering it effortlessly. It's a process that takes time and practice, but it's how we learn and grow.
Personal Development is Not Linear - There's always much to learn so realizing that personal development is not a straightforward path allows us to embrace the process fully. 
Discomfort in Learning New Things and the Unknown - Though we may feel in control when we know what's going on, staying within our comfort zone can limit our potential so, it's important to push ourselves beyond familiar boundaries. 
Helpful Resource:
Three Things on How to Navigate the Discomfort of Personal Development - Dealing with the tough parts of personal growth can be hard, but with the right approach, it becomes manageable and even empowering.  
Personal development is a process, not a destination. 
You can do the work alone but it's even more powerful to do it in the community. 
Surround yourself with the resources that will restore and empower you.

Episode 6: Anti-Racism as Decolonization: The Benefits of Anti-Racism Work in People with Marginalized Identities

In this episode, we will talk about the complexity and intersectionality of various marginalized races, communities, genders, and religions and learn how we can acknowledge, address, and overcome biases within ourselves and society. Get to the root cause of white supremacy culture, colonization, and colorism with me and  Dr. Jill Wener. 
 
Key Takeaways: 
Harm in Ignorance - When people lack understanding of different cultures, backgrounds, or perspectives, they are more prone to prejudice and intolerance.  
Embracing Decolonization Work - Decolonization, at its core, challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths that have historically favored certain groups while marginalizing others. 
White Supremacism Culture - It's not just about one group being mean to another—it's about a whole system that makes it hard for everyone to be treated fairly. 
The Intersection of Trauma and Harm - When individuals solely focus on their trauma and fail to recognize the broader dynamics of oppression, they unintentionally continue to cause damage.  
The Quest for Acceptance - Rooted in white supremacism, individuals may alter their behavior, speech, or appearance to conform to societal standards and achieve respect and belongingness. 
The Strength of Indigenous Communities - Indigenous peoples have long faced challenges to their way of life, yet despite the obstacles, they have persevered, holding tightly to their traditions, languages, and customs.  
Helpful Resource: 
Insight to Action - Moving from insight to action in anti-racism means learning about racism and taking steps to change it—speaking up, making personal changes, and improving our communities for everyone. 
Naming the Root Cause of Complexities - Harmful behavior may stem from ignorance rather than malice so recognizing the roots of it and truly naming it for what it is, is the first step to positive change.
