    Episode 98: A Conversation with Author & Podcast Host Thomas Brown

    Thomas lost his brother to suicide in 2001. After a decade of grief, uncertainty, and confusion, he decided he needed to change. In 2012, along with a friend who had also lost a brother to suicide, he set out on a cross-country bicycle tour for suicide awareness and the healing power of art. They started on the northern edge of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and ended in Wappinger's Falls, New York, at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, the art retreat center of artist, Alex and Allyson Grey. After his return, he spent three years as a group facilitator for a local mental health facility, helping others who have lost loved ones to suicide. In 2015, he launched a podcast called Inner Monologue, a conversational interview show where others shared their journies of trials and tribulations. Recently, he published his book 2012: A Bicycle Odyssey, which tells the tale of my cross-country adventure.

    Episode 93: Sitting with the Subject of Negativity: Shifting from Fear to Love

    Hosts: Melissa McHugh & Sydney DeckerPodcast: The Goddess & The Medicine Woman In this episode, Melissa and Sydney dive deep into the subject of negativity, exploring how our minds often gravitate toward the worst-case scenario when faced with challenging situations. They discuss how, as adults, we are conditioned to prepare for the worst, a stark contrast to the innate sense of magic and wonder we possess as children. Melissa opens up about her personal tendency to brace for the worst, highlighting how this mindset can become ingrained over time. The conversation touches on how control, particularly in parenting, often stems from fear, and how these belief systems are passed down, making negativity an easier default. They emphasize the impact of our surroundings, noting how being in the company of negative people can make it easier to adopt a negative outlook as a way to connect with others. However, the episode also offers hope and practical guidance for shifting toward positivity. Sydney shares action steps from her own experiences that listeners can use to begin fostering a more positive mindset. She stresses the importance of being willing to feel and release emotions within the body, recognizing the interconnectedness of our radiant, emotional, physical, and mental bodies. Paying attention to all aspects of ourselves allows for more informed decisions in life. Melissa discusses how she applies these processes with her EFT clients, especially those dealing with weight loss. She encourages connecting with the body rather than staying disconnected due to negative feelings about it. The conversation expands to critique modern marketing systems that rely on negative messaging to sell products, exploiting buyers' traumas for profit. Melissa and Sydney suggest that small energy shifts could lead to more positive and effective marketing strategies as well as shifting the energies of our systems in general. The episode concludes with a discussion on the power of Yoga and meditation, emphasizing the importance of finding the right practice and teacher to truly connect with your Whole being. They encourage listeners to reclaim their power, heal themselves, and shift from a mindset of fear to one of love. By being in service of ourselves, rather than sacrificing ourselves, we can create a more fulfilling and positive life. Key Takeaways: Our minds often default to negativity, but this can be shifted with conscious effort. Surroundings and upbringing play a significant role in how we perceive and respond to situations. It’s possible to learn from positive people by asking questions and getting curious. Feeling and releasing emotions in the body is crucial for overall well-being. Marketing systems often use negative energy, but small shifts can create more positive approaches. Yoga and meditation are powerful tools for connecting with your whole being. Shifting from fear to love is a journey of reclaiming personal power and healing. Action Steps: Start by recognizing negative thoughts and questioning their validity. Surround yourself with positive influences and be mindful of your environment. Practice feeling emotions in your body and releasing them. Explore Yoga or meditation to find practices that resonate with you. Approach life with curiosity and a willingness to reclaim your power.
