Joining me today is renowned body language expert, published author, and sought after consultant, Jan Hargrave, who specializes in the field of nonverbal communication. Jan has worked on many notable criminal cases, including the likes of OJ Simpson and JonBenét Ramsey as a jury consultant and lie detection specialist. In this episode, she shares her intimate knowledge on the topic of body language and gives some useful advice on how we can approach reading others better.What’s particularly interesting, is the link that body language has with lying. Our bodies often give away signals or ‘tells’ that we aren’t being truthful, no matter how hard we try to play it off or blend in with the crowd. We discuss how body language plays such a prevalent role in detecting signs of mistrust in politics, particularly in the US government, how Jan influenced the title of ‘jury consultant,’ and what she has learned throughout her extensive career as a body language analyst.If you’re interested to hear more, then tune in to Episode 21 of Cure For The Common Life!Some Questions I Ask:Could you elaborate on what it is that you do?

If you’ve ever found yourself having brain fog or feeling fatigue, then guess what: it might be possible that the electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) produced by our everyday devices are affecting your health. Unfortunately, these EMFs are everywhere and certain types weaken our immune system, our thought process, our mental clarity, muscle strength – literally everything about us. And the saddest thing is we can’t get rid of them. The good news is that we can protect ourselves from them. Earlier this year, in a previous episode, I’ve mentioned a device that dissipates and even cancels out the negative electromagnetic frequencies – Q-Link – and today, back by popular demand, I’m sharing with you a few more details about it. Listen to Episode 20 of Cure For The Common Life all the way to the end because the company that produces these devices has a surprise for you – and I’m going to share it with you because taking care of your body is not a luxury that only some can afford, but it’s a necessity for all of us!   In this episode, you will learn:The story of how a long time ago I got introduced to a device that neutralizes the bad energy that’s around me.

Learning how to be comfortable speaking to a camera without an audience nor a response is crucial in helping you to do better business and interact better with people.

We, as humans, seem to find it especially hard to create the time we need to get to the place that we want to. It is the emotionally painful fear of failure that ties us to a place and makes us procrastinate on our chances of leaving it and living our desired lives.It is so embedded in our brains to choose short-time, instant pleasure over any type of pain, forcing us into a cycle of avoiding short-time pain and getting short-time pleasure instead of enduring long-time pain to create long-time pleasure.Today, I bring you a tip that will teach you how to break the pattern that is keeping you stuck, that makes you procrastinate and delay living the life you’re meant to have. By triggering our brain into relaxing and breaking down negative patterns, we trick it into celebrating our good times and unconsciously forcing us to experience them more. Teaching our brain and bodies that they are meant to do so much more will help them not want to feel instant pleasure so much but rather work hard towards a goal without feeling drained or scared.Tune in to Episode 18 of Cure for the Common Life, to find out how to do exactly that!In this episode you will learn:What procrastination really is (04:01)Why instant pleasure isn’t good in the long run (10:15)How to stop procrastinating (14:40)Let’s connect:WebsiteTwitter  Facebook See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The beginning of the biggest storm that has affected the world this year, COVID-19, has proven to be the trigger for the other two massive storms that have gone through the US: the Black Lives Matter movement and the economic crisis.A pandemic that has separated all of us physically, has brought us closer together in learning and fighting against racial injustice, has made us more empathic as the human race, and has taught us that the system that is meant to protect us, does not protect all of us equally.Today, I urge you to become the leader that you have inside of you and to share your knowledge so as to become a beacon of possibility to lead the masses affected by the storm that has hit us.  Today, I choose to get political in order to discuss the events that we are currently living, as well as offering some advice on how to properly deal with the consequences once these events disappear.Tune in to Episode 15 of Cure For the Common Life, to learn more about these three storms that have hit the US in 2020 and how to not only survive but thrive when it all comes to an end.In this episode, you will learn:The Perfect Storm that the US is going through right now (04:33)Why COVID is considered the first storm that hit the US and how it could have been prevented.

Today, I’m joined by Speaker and Success Coach at ‘Freedom Point System’ and ‘Success Matrix’, Deb Battersby! Deb has taken the time to generously share her insights and lessons she has learned in relation to how our emotions serve us and mould us into more emotionally intelligent individuals.  Too often, feelings of anger, doubt and worry are deemed as ‘negative’ and we so rarely want to look at the deeper meaning that they can offer. Through exploring these emotions in greater detail, we can gain a deeper understanding into how our minds work and destigmatize the notion that they are simply ‘bad’ feelings.   We discuss how the coping mechanisms we use to mask these thoughts are often developed from an early age, how we can learn to remove judgement from fear, and why all of our emotions are there to help and serve us in some way. To hear more, tune in to Episode 14 of Cure For The Common Life!Some Questions I Ask:Could you share your perspective on how fear influences people’s mindsets and how the work you do can help resolve that? (3:22)Where do you think the judgement comes from when it comes to how we perceive ‘negative’ emotions? (4:33)Do you think that the more we repress these feelings, the harsher the effects are on us subconsciously? (6:04)Do you think that our circumstances under the current pandemic are creating a deeper effect on us in relation to the judgement of our emotions? (6:59)What would you say to those out there who don’t have a deep understanding of personal development and how to tap into their emotions? (10:43)What can someone do once they figure out how a seemingly ‘negative’ emotion is serving them? (15:33)What would you say to yourself ten years from now? (24:03)In This Episode You Will Learn:An introduction on today’s guest, Deb Battersby (1:05)How we learn to develop coping mechanisms to repress strong emotions from an early age (6:16)How listening to our fears can lead to greater outcomes and reveal new approaches to situations that made us uncomfortable before (8:59)One of the elements behind ‘Freedom Point System’ (10:08)A story from one of Deb’s clients’ & What it taught her about how hatred serves us as human beings (13:22)Connect With Joseph McClendon III:WebsiteTwitterFacebookInstagramConnect With Deb Battersby:Freedom Point Coaching - WebsiteSuccess Matrix - WebsiteEmail: support@freedompointcoaching.comPhone: (630) 830-0064 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
