    S2:E3 - Insights on Trying to Fit in For Christmas & Scrambled Livers - Jaki Eisman Interview - Better Next Year

    Hi Everyone, welcome to the Christmas edition of The Authentic You podcast. In this episode author Jaki Eisman will read from her work "Scrambled Liver" published in “Better Next Year: An Anthology of Christmas Epiphanies” edited by JJ Lee and published by Tidewater Press. There’s some great insights in this episode for anyone suffering the holiday blues, as Jaki shares what the trials and tribulations of trying to fit in for Christmas are all about. She also gives a great strategy on ways to overcome that strange feeling of Christmas loneliness even when you’re in a crowded room. And as a backup plan, Jaki shares what the greatest superpower in the world actually is – hint: no its not me flying on my magic flying couch. Or why there is no such thing as a bad Christmas gift, or lesser discussed truths – like how height can influence the dynamics of a relationship – especially if the guy is shorter. There’s even a shout-out to Arnold schwarzenegger Donkey Lulu. If you’re looking for an amazing super last minute hound dog sad yet heartfelt and funny stocking stuffer then get your copy of Better Next Year, and the second edition out now called "Upon a Midnight Clear", full of true Christmas tragedies, more dashed holiday hopes, and Christmas catastrophes, spiced with slender, heartbreaking shards of joy. Note: I don't use affiliate links and any profits from Upon a Midnight Clear will go to a local charity supporting youth at the 2025 Surrey International Writers Conference, giving underprivileged youth interesting in writing the opportunity to attend this prestigious writing conference event. Thanks again for stopping by. Until next time take care of yourselves and each other.

    S2:E1 - BETTER NEXT YEAR: An Anthology of Christmas Epiphanies - Living in Cars & Pulled Pork Sandwiches - Author Interview with Ola Szczecinska

    Ola Szczecinska was born in Warsaw, Poland, and moved to Canada with her family in 1984. She earned an MA in History from the University of Toronto and is a graduate of the Writer’s Studio at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. She’s been published in Narrative Magazine, Geist, SFU’s Emerge, and most recently her short story “Pulled Pork, Brisket, Polish Ham” has been published nationally in “BETTER NEXT YEAR: An Anthology of Christmas Epiphanies,” which hit Amazon’s Top 10 Best Sellers List for Canadian Literature in December 2023. During the interview Ola gives a reading and we talk about her incredible true story of what it means to fall vs live free. Ola shares the time she was homeless in Vancouver, living in her car over Christmas. How a chain of events, from all her possessions in her car being stolen, to almost dying in a car accident, and a chance encounter with a police officer in a stolen car she'd bought by mistaken, changed her perspective in life. Ola’s story is about what happens when our lives get turned upside down. And what it takes for us to find a way to rise, and try again.

    S1E16 - What is Breathwork? How is Burnout Driven by Fear? Interview with Carolyn Green PhD, Holotropic Facilitator - Overcoming Loss & How can the Power of Breath Heal You? Remembrance Day Tribute

    Carolyn Green, BSc(PT), PhD, has facilitated over a thousand non ordinary sessions using holotropic breathwork in workshops and individual sessions in BC and Alberta and co-founded thesecretofbreath.com. Carolyn’s research includes areas of pharmaceutical safety and policy. She is a non-practicing physical therapist with decades of experience and has worked in volunteer capacities in China, Africa, the Caribbean and Nepal, training the first Nepalese physical rehabilitation workers. For Carolyn the Holotropic paradigm is powerful and valuable because it blends the best of the western scientific scholarly traditions with the practical wisdom of long standing world spiritual traditions to provide rapid access to the power within. This episode also pays tribute to Remembrance Day traditions old and new, as we continue our way through this pandemic, and find ways to overcome what we have lost. Carolyn also shares some profound insights on where burnout comes from, how burnout relates to our own fears, and why Holotropic breathwork can help us through these difficult times. If you've never heard or tried holotropic breathwork and are dealing with loss, daily work anxiety, or extreme stress, this is your must listen to episode from Season 1!
