Stress Less, Accomplish More with Meditation • 076
Do you often feel overwhelmed? Tired? Stressed out? Can't sleep? Do you wish you could have more energy without slamming 5 cups a coffee per day? Then this episode is for you.We’re going deep into meditation. But here's the thing... most people who struggle with meditation don't have the right information. Meditation shouldn't be hard!If you've struggled with meditation in the past, or can't seem to make it a habit, don't miss this episode.Meditation is a form of rest for our bodies that you can't get through sleep. And without it, chances are your brain can be working against you much of the time.Your body accumulates boat loads of stress throughout your lifetime (yes, your body may still be holding onto stress from as far back as childhood!), and if you don't have a way to release it, it can lead to disease, overwhelm, aging faster (eeek!) and the potential to snap at any moment.Today we’re bringing on Emily Fletcher, the founder of Ziva Meditation and the leading expert in meditation for extraordinary performance.Emily has managed to make meditation fun, easy and accessible. In part because she says most of the meditation we are used to was designed for monks dedicating their lives to zen stillness, not regular people doing regular shit all day.Today we will learn a simple but effective meditation practice that you can do anytime, anywhere, without an app to guide you.Today we will learn:
How meditation changes our brains
How stress from even 20 years ago can still live in your body
Why meditation is 5X more restful than sleep

Toxic Parents and Relationships • 075
Today we're talking about toxic parents and family members, but everything here also applies to toxic relationships, so stick around if that speaks to you.Loving someone doesn’t always mean having a relationship with them, just like forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation. Reconciling, in many cases, only sets people up for more abuse. A significant part of healing comes with accepting that this is a part of life; there are some relationships that are so poisonous that they destroy one’s ability to be healthy and function best.Our guest today is Dr. Sherrie Campbell. a licensed psychologist, nationally recognized expert, and inspiring author.She clarifies how parents, adult children, siblings, grandparents, and in-laws can be toxic while giving direction on how to explain cutting ties to children and others who may not understand.Today we will learn:

Guide to Grace-Filled Political Conversations with Beth Silver and Sarah Stewart Holland of Pantsuit Politics • 071
The last few years, almost any political conversation has just left me feeling drained. It just seems like we’re more divided than ever and you’re asking for trouble if you bring anything up, unless you’re in a room of people you already know is going to agree with you.The more we give up our ability to have these conversations with people that have a different point of view, the more divided we become because we’re less likely to be engaged with a viewpoint that’s not our own.Today we’re talking to Beth Silver and Sarah Stewart Holland, the authors of I Think You’re Wrong but I’m Listening. They’re two friends from college who ended up on two different sides of the political debate. They figured out how to have these discussions in a healthy way, and are here to share what they learned with us!So after the first few minutes, a tornado wiped out Sarah’s power, but the conversation flowed so well with Beth I don’t think it takes anything away. Plus, you still get both sides with Beth as the conservative viewpoint and me as the liberal viewpoint.And don’t worry, we’re not getting into the nitty gritty of triggering political topics. Moreso how to be able to talk about them.Today we will learn:
How to find your political why
The importance of being able to hold tension
How to handle politics on social media
