    Episode 28: Adult Less, Play More

    Send us Fan Mail Summary: The Heart of the Conversation: In this solo transmission, I am opening a door that many of us accidentally locked years ago: the door to Play. As we move into adulthood, we often trade our curiosity for responsibility and our joy for "toxic productivity". This episode is an exploration of why returning to our inner child isn't just "fun"—it is a biological and emotional necessity for staying young, resilient, and human. What We Explore Together: Loosening the Grip: How play acts as a literal release valve for the physical and mental "tightness" we carry in our bodies and emotions.The Chemistry of Joy: Understanding how play triggers the endorphins and "happy hormones" that move us out of a state of anxiety and into a vibrant state of being.The Creative Download: Why stepping away from a problem to play is often the quickest way to "latch on" to brilliant ideas and solutions waiting in our consciousness.Play as Presence: How engaging in something with no required outcome—like doodling, car karaoke, or making a nature mandala—trains us to be truly present in the moment.An Invitation for You: I am informing the field that it is time to soften. Whether it’s a five-minute dance break to a bouncy song or smashing Play-Doh just for the sake of it, I invite you to find your "micro-moments" of play today. You don't stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing. Let’s choose to stay young together.

    Episose: 27 - From Sighted to Unsighted w/ Mark Christian

    Send us Fan Mail      What happens when the primary way you navigate the world—your sight—   simply dissolves on a Tuesday morning? In this episode, I sit down with Mark Christian, a minister and seeker who moved from the sighted world into the "very low vision" spectrum following a stroke on the optical nerve in 2016.      Mark doesn't just share a story of disability; he shares a masterclass in energetic adaptation. We explore the "Human" moments of the transition—from the frustration of hitting cars to the "secret" of using a white cane as a signal to the world rather than a tool for himself. The heart of our conversation: The White Cane as a Signal: How Mark uses the cane as a way to inform the world around him, clearing the path for both his safety and the awareness of others.Finding Internal Balance: The physical and mental shifts required to maintain equilibrium when you can no longer see the horizon.The Power of Physical Connection: Why losing the ability to read body language makes a "slug on the shoulder" or a physical touch more valuable than a thousand words.Get Up or Give Up: Mark’s powerful "motto" for facing life’s obstacles and why he chooses to keep getting up every day.Mark’s journey is a lived example of the choice we all face at least once in life: Do we get up, or do we give up? He reminds us that while "nobody gets out of here in perfect shape," we can always choose to find a new way to play the hand we’re dealt—even if we need high-visibility cards to see the suits. Time Stamps: 0:00:08: Mark describes the definitive day he realized his vision loss and Introduction 00:02:24: He clarifies his "low vision" (legally blind) and dispels common misconceptions about blindness 00:03:47: Mark shares instances of using his cane to assert his presence 00:06:32: Mark reveals that his blindness developed gradually from strokes, preceded by years of self-punishment and an alcohol problem. 00:11:08: Mark details his stroke on the optical nerve as the cause of his blindness 00:15:59: He discusses the challenge of everything taking longer and the need for patience. 00:16:46: Mark recounts early challenges  00:20:23: Mark highlights the benefits of technology like the "seeing AI" app and voice-over features that make it easier to navigate the world. 00:23:48: Mark reveals that he initially resisted learning to use a white cane 00:32:31: He shares how his blindness forced him to improve his memory 00:35:51: Last wisdom and closing remarks Link to Transcript of Show: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16e-ERwJJ_y9tq7Bi0qevcQYXwQP3Oe1_/view?usp=sharing Apply to be on the Show: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdo3jzeiCYLsDQMnfZbar8GlhJOjWGAFLtMlsZI2L8XwZ_IMw/viewform?usp=sharing Find Elisha Elsewhere on the web: https://linktr.ee/elishalightangel Rate my show/leave a comment on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thats-just-human/id1844624122 Rate Show on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ydEHAn83XLx5HrnReoiWA Follow/Subscribe/Comment on YouTube:

    Episode 25: Why So Tired & What-A-Do

    Send us Fan Mail Summary:      In this episode of That’s Just Human,  Elisha LightAngel, thoroughly explores burnout, defining it as a state of deep fatigue, sadness, anger, and lack of motivation that arises from constant draining activities and neglected self-care. The host illustrates common causes through her personal experiences, such as burnout as a single mother juggling multiple jobs and later from a financially and emotionally draining relationship.      Elisha explains that burnout impacts physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, leading to symptoms like depression and a compromised immune system. To combat this, she advocates for a holistic self-care approach. Key strategies include setting boundaries to avoid people-pleasing, prioritizing adequate sleep, consuming nourishing food and water, engaging in physical movement, seeking sunlight, practicing mindfulness and deep breathing, utilizing music for mood shifts, and fostering meaningful, non-toxic social connections. The overarching message is to evaluate and eliminate draining elements from life, consciously adopting practices that replenish energy, and cultivating a more joyful human experience.

    Episode 24:Food Freedom Through Storytelling w/Kayla MacDonald

    Send us Fan Mail Summary: This podcast episode features an interview with Kayla MacDonald, a food freedom and embodiment coach. She shares her personal journey of struggling with emotional eating, binge eating, and bulimia since childhood, which began during challenging life experiences at age six. Kayla discusses how she initially pursued health coaching but realized that true healing came not from willpower or external metrics, but from inner work, creativity, and addressing underlying nervous system dysregulation.  She introduces her unique "Food Freedom Fantasy" method, which uses storytelling, archetypes (like "fire starter" and "inner sanctuary"), and AI-assisted dialogue to help women embody healing, break free from self-sabotage, and cultivate a loving relationship with food and their bodies. The goal is to move from obsession and shame to intuitive eating and using food as fuel, allowing individuals to pursue their passions and live authentically.

    Episode 22: Stage Secrets for Real Life Success

    Send us Fan Mail Summary: Elisha Light Angel, host of "That's Just Human," shares six life lessons drawn from her theater background. She stresses the importance of clear communication, akin to stage managers' "time calls," where acknowledging instructions prevents misunderstandings in life and work. Elisha encourages embracing the "stumble through," recognizing that everyone is learning and occasionally "pretending," especially when dealing with imposter syndrome, advocating for self-grace. She highlights that "no small roles, only small actors," meaning every individual's contribution, no matter how small, is crucial to the bigger picture. When "anything can go wrong, it will go wrong," she advises practical problem-solving and adapting, even with imperfect "tape" fixes. Finally, the "show must go on" mentality promotes perseverance through life's challenges, urging a balance between pushing forward and allowing for rest and emotional processing. These theatrical principles offer a robust framework for navigating life with resilience and self-awareness.
