The Wisdom of Hope

This episode explores the concept of "learned helplessness" and how it helps explain why many of us tend to give up too soon when faced with difficult challenges. I share my reflections on living in Portland, Oregon, where the thrum of DHS helicopters disrupts the tranquility of our otherwise peaceful neighborhoods. Additionally, I delve into Carl Jung's insights on discovering our true power and examine why both the Dalai Lama and Jane Goodall advocate for having hope in an overwhelming world. For further inspiration, I recommend Jane Goodall's final book, "⁠The Book of Hope,⁠ [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/56268863-the-book-of-hope]" and The Dalai Lama's new film, "⁠Wisdom of Happiness.⁠ [https://www.wisdomofhappinessfilm.com/]"

Be Your Own Superhero

It's the perfect time to answer your calling because so much within and around us is in flux in today's tumultuous world. My clients often find their purpose after experiencing a life disruption because it thrusts them out of their routines and creates space for them to grow into a greater version of themselves. This podcast explores how you can expand beyond your former limits, too, by using superheroes as role models. I also use Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung's concept of the golden shadow to help you uncover your greatest gifts and tap into the power within.
