  1. Kurt Cobain: Forever In Bloom, And Mental Health Awareness || Kelly Catlin

    3 DAYS AGO

    Kurt Cobain: Forever In Bloom, And Mental Health Awareness || Kelly Catlin

    Real stories, told by real people. A celebratory portrait of a man, musician, father, and friend that goes beyond the clichés of a tortured soul. Redefining how Kurt Cobain is remembered, Kelly Catlin joins us to talk about her new book. And rather than focusing on the tragedy of his passing, her book celebrates his life and lasting impact on humanity. A 500 page celebration of Kurt's life. Kelly spent two years working with some of his close friends, along with family members, indie artist, Nirvana's former management, and record labels. She's included tons of mental health resources, raising awareness on suicide and its prevention, as well as information on bullying, child abuse laws, and the unhoused crisis. With a portion of the royalties going to charitable organizations. It was a pleasure to meet up and listen to Kelly talk about the inspiration behind her book, some of the unknown facts regarding who Kurt Cobain was, as a man, in contrast to how the media portrayed him. We talk a little bit about A.I and its impact on writers, writing and the industry at large. She's seen a lot of good writers get put out of work because of it. Ladies and gentleman, I'd like to welcome Kelly Catlin, another GIANT AMONGST US. Reminding us all to "be the change we wish to see."

    Difficulty With Self Forgiveness || In Between The Stories

    Self forgiveness. Why is it so difficulty for some? Have you struggled with it? We're gonna talk about it today. And not just its difficulty, but what we can start doing today, to help us out. If this is something you've been struggling with. Forgiveness, letting go, and moving on. Easier said than done, right? I know, I know. This is something I've wrestled with for a long time. Shame, Guilt. Disgust. Embarrassment. Anger. Are only some of emotions that come with falling short or missing the mark. Not living up to our own standards, or the standards of someone else - family, friends, society. "It is by embracing all of who we are that we earn the freedom to choose what we do in this world" – DEBBIE FORD By accepting who we are, imperfections and all, we can start to heal, grow, and work towards truly being free. So, let's get into it. In a nutshell, here are 3 things we can start doing today to help with self forgiveness. Find a mirror, and look into your eyes. Notice how you feel, and take a few minutes doing this. Then forgive yourself for the things you're having a hard time letting go of.Apologize to those you've wronged, if possible. In person, by phone or text, whichever way you feel best.Remember, you're Human, and we all make mistakes. Acknowledge the wrong, but don't identify with it. Feed yourself (mentally, spiritually) all those things you wish and inspire to be.'til next time, and very soon, PEACE! _____ Mirror Principle : The Hidden Key To Shift Your Reality (Audiobook) https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/9e211b30-76eb-4590-b2bb-fa0da59b7eda/episodes/1415ee65-d2ff-40a4-b1f1-de9200571136/audio-books-office-mirror-principle-the-hidden-key-to-shift-your-reality-audiobook _____ YOU CAN RATE AND REVIEW THE SHOW ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS : Website : giantsamongstus.org/reviews Apple Podcast : podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/giants-amongst-us/id1789068784 Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/show/1NtBrXqO1rJIZabduZyVC5 _____ Connect With Giants Amongst Us : Website : https://giantsamongstus.org/ Show Updates & Extras : buymeacoffee.com/Giantsamongstus Share Your Story : giantsamongstus@tutanota.com Youtube : https://youtube.com/@giantsamongstus?si=nbTNcyvSL-n4N00u Reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/Giants_Amongst_Us/ _____ Background music by : @bnoizemusic

    My First Time With Plant Medicine (Syrian Rue) || In Between The Stories

    Good Monday all, hope this finds you well, Pleased to be back for another sit down. Today, I'd like to share a bit of my experience with drinking Syrian Rue for the first time. This is another installment of 'In Between The Stories'. I recently returned from Cologne, Germany. About a 1 1/2 hour train ride from where I live. The reason for my visit? - I had a date with Mama Ayahuasca. If you haven't already, I encourage you to check out https://giantsamongstus.org/episode/healing-and-transformation-my-first-hand-experiences-with-ayahuasca-allan Allan, who's had a long history with Ayahuasca, and its usage in helping with addictions, trauma, and healing. Allan's spent plenty of time in Peru with lineage Shipibo shamans. And he does a great job with breaking down some of the stigma's regarding Ayahuasca, as well as the plants history, and why its considered so sacred amongst the Amazonians. I also wrote about my personal experience with Syrian Rue (ayahuasca analogue) here https://giantsamongstus.org/blog/spirits-of-the-past feel free to dive in and share your thoughts or some of your own experiences with any plant medicines you've invited into your life. A big "THANK YOU" to my wife for this wonderful gift. This is something I wanted to do for quite sometime, many moons ago. After speaking with Allan, my spirit was quickened and ready for a visit. And my wife, as an early birthday gift, granted me access and provided the means to make it all happen. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. This is merely my own personal account. A communion with a plant that has been part of antiquity and the lives of our ancestors, for survival, wisdom, healing, and a deep connection to earth, nature, soul, and spirit, for thousands, and thousands of years. This isn't about a brand new drug, "FDA approved" that just hit the shelves. I only ask that you take this in with an open mind. Allowing yourself quality time, in solitude, to start exploring the inner dynamics that make up the constellation that is you. It's definitely a process worth pursuing.

    Real stories, told by real people. Hope all is well on your end. I'm pleased to share another sit down with you all. Today, Rick joins us, and he's got a story to tell. Unfiltered and raw. This about one's journey towards enlightenment. How is one able to find forgiveness, healing and freedom, in the midst of chaos? From drug addiction to drug rehab. To having his whole world turned upside down. A chain of events devastating Rick. Eventually, he was unable to sleep, and stayed awake for 5 days straight. What exactly tipped him over the edge? Rick breaks it down for us, in detail. In and out of a behavioral hospital, and emergency rooms, to having an out of body experience, intuitively writing, laying face down on his bed. Rick shares a vision he had while in trance, and the catalyst to help him produce his first book 'Bye-Polar Enlightenment: A Personal Memoir With Philosophical Depths Into The Unknown.' The quest for self discovery, and the courage to work from the inside-out. Exploring human consciousness, false personas, emotions, truths, fears, philosophies and an honest pursuit towards healing and understanding.

    Catholic Secrets, And Living 20 Years With An Undiagnosed Autoimmune Disease || Margaret Mary O’Connor

    Real stories, told by real people. Hope this finds you all in good spirits. We're back with another installment, and pleased to bring another story to light. Today Margaret joins us and she's got a story to tell. Living twenty years with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease, she explains the utter anguish of it all. Her concerns were dismissed by eight doctors. They insisted she see a psychiatrist instead. Holding steadfast to her faith, it's a miracle Margaret was able to hold on long enough to find the help. Margaret Mary O’Connor has made it her life's mission to stand on truth. Thankful, and grateful she's been given a second chance at life. And an author of two books Scandal In The Shadows, uncovering threads of early Church history and hidden truths regarding women priesthood in the catholic church. Her second book Journey of a Celiac's Soul: A Second Chance at Life, is meant to act as a vehicle for encompassing the present changing realities within the Catholic Church. Two issues near and dear to Margaret's heart, and after listening to this talk you'll have a clear understanding as to why. Welcoming another GIANTS AMONGST US, hope you enjoy this conversation.
