    APPstinence: Breaking Free from Social Media's Grip

    In this eye-opening episode of The Reflective Mind Podcast, Dr. Jennifer Reid speaks with Gabriela Nguyen, a 23-year-old Harvard graduate student and founder of APPstinence, a Gen Z-led organization advocating for social media-free lifestyles. After being "chronically online" for over a decade, Gabriela now uses a flip phone and has developed the 5D Method to help others break free from social media dependency. For those feeling trapped by social media's endless demands, Gabriela offers both practical steps and philosophical clarity. Her journey shows that opting out isn't about missing out—it's about reclaiming your attention, deepening your relationships, and choosing peace in a world designed to keep you engaged at all costs. The path to digital freedom isn't about moderation—it's about recognizing that sometimes the best way to win is to stop playing the game entirely. Key Insights: The Social Media Trap:"For years, I kept losing the battle with social media until I realized that the war was never justified." Gabriela describes how social media creates a "faux sense of importance" while constantly demanding our attention. The Real Cost: Social media doesn't just take our time—it fundamentally changes how we experience life. As Gabriela notes, "You exchange quality for quantity" in relationships, and the pressure of constant digital performance feels "like a job." The 5D Method 1. Decrease: Reduce screen time by removing apps from your phone and increase engagement with the real world 2. Deactivate: Start with the platform you use least and work your way up 3. Delete: Let the 30-day deactivation period pass, allowing accounts to be permanently deleted 4. Downgrade: Consider switching to a simpler phone that doesn't invite constant use 5. Depart: Notice the distance between yourself and the digital world as you reconnect with reality Finding Peace: "The agency that I wanted to employ was not going to come from hacking my algorithm the right way... It was the agency to just choose that I'm not going to engage in this fight at all."

    The Mindful Creator: Finding Your Creative Voice in a Busy World

    In this illuminating episode, Dr. Jennifer Reid speaks with Dr. Danah Henriksen, Associate Professor of Leadership and Innovation at Arizona State University and co-author of Explaining Creativity: The Science of Human Innovation, about the interconnections between creativity, mindfulness, and well-being. Dr. Henriksen shares valuable insights from her research and personal experience about nurturing creativity in both educational settings and daily life. "Creativity is something that's fundamental and core to who we are as people. But we often do have to kind of fight with ourselves to make sure we're leaving some time for that." Understanding Creativity Dr. Henriksen challenges the common misconception that creativity is limited to artistic pursuits or special talents. She emphasizes that creativity is accessible to everyone: "If you look across the breadth of most creativity studies, it's really something that we all have access to in different ways as human beings." Creativity in Education Dr. Henriksen discusses the tension between standardized testing requirements and fostering creativity in schools. She shares insights from her study of National Teacher of the Year award winners who successfully integrated creative approaches while achieving strong academic results. Nurturing Creativity in Children For parents looking to support creativity, Dr. Henriksen recommends: * Recognizing that children are naturally creative * Supporting their existing interests and creative passions * Praising the creative process rather than just the outcome * Providing diverse experiences and encouraging safe risk-taking * Fostering a growth mindset about mistakes and learning The Mindfulness-Creativity Connection Dr. Henriksen shares how mindfulness can enhance creativity, noting, "The ability to kind of suspend judgment... that ability of reframing or looking at things with fresh eyes is a really key part of creativity." Practical Takeaways * Make time for creative activities, even if they don't serve an obvious productive purpose * Practice mindful awareness to support creative thinking and overall well-being * View mistakes as learning opportunities rather than failures * Consider creativity as essential to human nature rather than just a luxury * Be mindful of where you direct your attention in our distraction-filled world Interested in purchasing Explaining Creativity: The Science of Human Innovation?

  3. A Nameless Longing: When Your Soul Seeks a New Path

    2月11日

    A Nameless Longing: When Your Soul Seeks a New Path

    In this profound episode, Dr. Jennifer Reid speaks with renowned Jungian analyst Dr. James Hollis about personal growth, life transitions, and the journey of self-discovery. Dr. Hollis, a distinguished faculty member at the Jung Center of Houston and author of over 20 books, shares deep insights about finding one's authentic path and understanding the messages our psyche sends us. The Journey from Academia to Depth Psychology Dr. Hollis shares his personal story of transformation, beginning with a midlife depression while working as a humanities professor. This crisis led him to retrain as a Jungian analyst in Zurich, Switzerland, ultimately discovering that his true calling lay in helping others explore their psychological depths. Understanding the Soul's Journey Dr. Hollis explains how we often lose touch with our authentic selves in childhood and must work to recover this connection in adulthood. He emphasizes that this recovery isn't self-indulgent but rather essential for both personal growth and our relationships with others. The Two Halves of Life The conversation explores how life's first half focuses on adaptation and fitting in, while the second half calls us to deeper questions of meaning and authenticity. Dr. Hollis discusses how this transition often emerges during midlife or significant life changes. On the Soul's Journey: "The soul is intuited in childhood, pushed aside by the adaptive choices of consciousness and recovered in adulthood only when we are willing to open to it." On Childhood's Impact: "Jung said the greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of the parent. And what he meant by that was wherever the parent is stuck, the child sooner or later is going to internalize that as a roadmap and either repeat that, which is very common, or spend a lifetime trying to get away from it." On Finding Your Path: "You're not here to live someone else's pattern. That's already taken. You're here to learn yours, find your path." On Self-Understanding: "It's not so much what we do or think or feel or believe or desire. It's what that is in service to inside of us that makes a difference." On Personal Growth: "Something inside of each of us knows what's right for us. How do you access that? How do you pay attention to that?"

    The Unspoken Truth About Motherhood

    In this honest and refreshing episode, author Jennifer Case opens up about the often-hidden realities of motherhood that many women experience but few discuss openly. If you've ever felt alone in your complicated feelings about pregnancy, birth, or motherhood – this episode is for you. Key topics: * The profound isolation of early motherhood and why it's more common than you think "I realize now that my daughter is three how profoundly isolated I felt as I transitioned into motherhood" * How our modern approach to pregnancy and birth differs from historical "social childbirth" practices * Finding community in unexpected places, including online spaces like BabyCenter * The rarely discussed experience of pregnancy ambivalence and unintended pregnancy "The interesting thing about talking with other mothers in person is everyone seems so afraid of being judged, especially about the parenting choices they make when their children are young." * Navigating prenatal and postpartum depression while battling the stigma around these conditions * The importance of making space for all emotions during pregnancy – not just the "expected" ones Featured insight: "The truth is half of the pregnancies in the United States are unintended... I think these kind of complicated reactions to pregnancy aren't nearly as uncommon as we initially think they are." – a striking reminder that you're not alone if your path to motherhood wasn't perfectly planned or immediately joyful. Guest: Jennifer Case, author of We Are Animals: On the Nature and Politics of Motherhood, shares her personal journey through two very different pregnancies, including her experience with an unplanned second pregnancy and the complex emotions that followed. Whether you're struggling with isolation, experiencing complicated feelings about motherhood, or simply seeking validation that it's okay to not always feel okay – this episode offers a judgment-free space to explore the full spectrum of maternal experiences. Remember: Your feelings about motherhood, whatever they may be, are valid and shared by many others who may just be too afraid to speak up. Jennifer Case is the author of We Are Animals: On the Nature and Politics of Motherhood (Trinity University Press, 2024) and Sawbill: A Search for Place (University of New Mexico Press, 2018). Her essays have appeared widely in journals such as The Rumpus, Orion, Ecotone, Literary Mama, and North American Review, among others. She teaches at the University of Central Arkansas and serves as an assistant nonfiction editor at Terrain.org.

  5. Dr. Amna Khan: The People's Pediatrician

    2024/12/17

    Dr. Amna Khan: The People's Pediatrician

    This interview was SO INSPIRING! Dr. Khan’s message was one of hope and engagement, through a powerful lens of equity and justice. Dr. Khan and I met as part of this lovely exploration of the book, The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron, with a group for women in health care called Introspective Spaces. She had so many beautiful insights throughout our time together, and I loved the essays she wrote about her family from Pakistan and El Salvador, and her dedication to her role in health care. Dr. Amna Khan is an outpatient pediatrician at Santa Clara Valley Health and a clinical associate professor (affiliated) at Stanford University School of Medicine. Working within California's second-largest public safety net hospital, she serves a diverse urban population of nearly 2 million constituents, dedicating her career to addressing health inequities and their intergenerational impacts on vulnerable children and families. Dr. Khan’s Key Initiatives * She co-leads Pedi POWER (Pediatricians Working and Organizing to End Racism) * She has created The People's Pediatrician website and health equity newsletter * She is continuously developing innovative interventions to challenge systemic racism in medicine Dr. Khan on her cultural identity: "I wanted patient families to see me for who I really am at my core, not a half, but a double of the identities I feel so privileged to call my own." On her family background: "I grew up in a household that was rich in diversity of cultural practices, religions, languages, food... The example that they set was one of tremendous love and compassion, and also that humans are much more similar than they are different." On pediatrics: "Every child is a seed. And if you give a child the proper soil, and if you do that from the beginning consistently, the tremendous amount of potential that you can garner is something that none of us even believe." On representation in medicine: “Not only are you welcome, but you are desperately needed and we want your gifts. We want the challenges that you've experienced in coming from immigrant families... because that is the type of clinical workforce that we need." Her message to future healthcare providers: "Medicine is so lucky to have you... All those things that you thought maybe set you apart or gave you a disadvantage... is actually a tremendous advantage. And it allows you to connect with families." Resources Mentioned - The People's Pediatrician website - Pedi POWER initiatives - Introspective Spaces program for women in health care - The Artist's Way with Introspective Spaces (book by Julia Cameron) Dr. Khan completed her medical degree at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) in 2009 and her Pediatrics residency at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Stanford University in 2012. As a graduate of the UCSF post-baccalaureate program designed to support historically excluded minorities in medicine, she remains committed to mentoring and teaching future healthcare professionals specifically from those communities to increase diversity and representation in clinical workforce.

    Post-Traumatic Growth: Turning Wounds into Wisdom

    In this enlightening episode of The Reflective Mind Podcast, Dr. Jennifer Reid speaks with Christy Gibson, MD a renowned trauma clinician offering a fresh perspective on understanding and treating trauma in the modern era. Dr. Gibson, the author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit: Nurture Your Post-traumatic Growth with Personalized Solutions, challenges traditional paradigms, emphasizing that trauma responses are fundamentally adaptive rather than pathological – representing the body and mind's intelligent attempts to ensure survival. We discuss how recent research has revolutionized our understanding of trauma, highlighting the critical role of the body's stress response systems. The conversation discusses the incredible potential of somatic-based treatments, which Dr. Gibson argues are essential given trauma's profound impact on the nervous system and bodily functioning. She outlines a three-step framework for trauma healing: * Establishing safety and stabilization, * Processing traumatic memories through cognitive and somatic approaches * Reconnecting with our authentic selves and those in our emotional orbit. The discussion offers valuable insights for both practitioners and individuals on their healing journey, seamlessly blending cutting-edge research with practical, applicable wisdom.

    Beyond Burnout: Reclaiming Joy in Medicine

    In the latest episode of The Reflective Mind Podcast, Dr. Jennifer Reid spoke with Dr. Laura Suttin, physician, coach and author of The Purposeful MD: Creating the Life You Love without Guilt. Our conversation explored the complex landscape of physician wellness programs - yes, they can provide support and community building, but we discuss how these programs often fall short by focusing on individual resilience rather than addressing systemic issues. She shares particular insight into the challenges facing women in medicine, drawing from both her personal experience and coaching practice. Key takeaways: ·Women in medicine are constantly trying to care for everyone: their patients, their families, other providers, often placing themselves last ·Institutional change requires both organizational leadership listening to physicians, as well as grassroots physician advocacy ·Women physicians can benefit from a shift away from unrealistic and damaging attempts to reach perfection in their many roles. Listeners can find Dr. Suttin at thepurposefulmd.com or @PurposefulMD on social media, where she continues to build community around physician wellbeing and career development.
