    117. Thanks! Amplified: Exploring Robert Emmons' Book. Crafting a Happier Self through Gratitude.

    117. Thanks! Amplified: Exploring Robert Emmons' Book. Crafting a Happier Self through Gratitude.

    With the holidays around the corner this episode with Yo is inspired by some of her learning about gratitude while podcasting. And whenever she wants to learn more about an emotion, she always goes to Brené Brown and her book, Atlas of the Heart. Brené wrote in that book that the expert on gratitude was Robert Emmons, a professor at UC Davis and one of the leading scholars in positive psychology movement. So she'll dig in and offer you her insights into his book, Thanks! His work on gratitude has been feature in the Washington Post, NY Times, Time, Newsweek, and other mainstream media.

     

    3 Takeaways:

     

    1.   These are the components of gratitude: Something external triggers the feeling; Our brain processes the trigger in a significant way with a physiological response – example being an expressive component like a smile

    2.   The research is there – gratitude brings us so many benefits - to our health, social interactions, and wellbeing. Practicing gratitude makes us happier.  

     

    3.   We are offered 10 techniques to approaching gratitude which can help us get in touch with the capability to open the door to appreciation for the gifts we are given!

    116. PART 2 - Inside Out: Unveiling the Layers of Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Uri Talmor

    116. PART 2 - Inside Out: Unveiling the Layers of Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Uri Talmor

    This is Part 2 of a 2 part series with our guest, Uri Talmor (Gen X) and Kiki Canny returned to join our discussion about Internal Family Systems (IFS) based on the book, No Bad Parts, by Richard Schwartz, PhD. As we noted in Part 1, Kiki had recommended the book and as we read it, we realized it would be great to have an expert on the subject and Uri was that expert.

    In Part 1, Uri, Kiki and I talked about what IFS was and the elements of the different roles within our parts.  Uri explained why IFS works so well, and the benefits of the method.

    We sure hope you enjoy the listen as much as you did Part 1!


    3 Takeaways:

     

    1.   The “being born good in the world” belief can be looked at best from a Polyvagal Theory perspective. A link is below to learn more.

    2.   We are such complex beings and we make judgements of others when we’re trying to control and by staying curious it can help us avoid labeling others.

    3.   IFS helps us reorganize our psyche. All three of us totally
    recommend the book, No Bad Parts. Try the audio to get his voice on the meditations.

    More About Uri:

    Uri graduated from Naropa University's Transpersonal Counseling program and has been teaching there since 2013. A well-loved faculty member, teaching is the highlight of his professional career. His mission and passion are to help make the world a better place for all children. Everything he teaches is connected to this goal, and he is overjoyed for any opportunity to share helpful information that supports child wellness, especially models like IFS that address children's rights on the intra-psychic plane. He co-founded The Healed Healer Institute with his life partner and brilliant Enneagram career coach, Cherie Wilcox. The institute provides training opportunities for healing professionals to master the healing arts through their own healing and personal growth. When he's not seeing clients, supervising therapists, or teaching, he cherishes his time with his two wonderful daughters and amazing life partner.

    115. PART 1 - Inside Out: Unveiling the Layers of Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Uri Talmor

    115. PART 1 - Inside Out: Unveiling the Layers of Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Uri Talmor

    Uri Talmor (Gen X) joins Kiki (GenZ) and Yo (Boomer)
    to talk about Internal Family Systems (IFS). Uri has been a psychotherapist since 2004 and has been using Internal Family Systems or IFS since 2003 in his practice. The goal of IFS therapy is to help people identify and accept the different parts of themselves and heal the parts that are wounded. Kiki had recommended the book, No Bad Parts, by Richard Schwartz, PhD, for the podcast and Uri has graciously shared his expertise.

    This recording was so juicy we had to break it into 2 parts so be sure to listen to both to get all the aspects of this model.

    One of our goals as a podcast is to help us all know ourselves better so we understand our leadership style and how we can hold ourselves back. This discussion is to help you see some of the aspects of who you are, where those tendencies might come from, and how to embrace and have compassion for ourselves, so we can have it for others.



    3 Takeaways:

     

    1.   IFS is a method that brings us a way to see ourselves as a complete Self with no bad parts. 

    2.   We can embrace our exiles, fire fighter, and manager – acknowledge and validate them.

    3.   The Self is characterized by what IFS calls the 8C's: compassion, curiosity, clarity, creativity, calm, confidence, courage, and connectedness. As opposed to many other models, IFS holds that everyone has access to these qualities at their core.

    114. Ego Check: Unpacking Authentic Confidence in Leadership with Christie Garcia

    114. Ego Check: Unpacking Authentic Confidence in Leadership with Christie Garcia

    Christie Garcia (Millennial), Ego Management Expert and seasoned Leadership Coach, joins Yo to discuss living a more fulfilled life through ego-management. Christie shares her process to her clients find their ego behaviors, how they’re triggered, and become more powerful from making choices. Together they talk about confidence, trust, and personal freedom. In past episodes we’ve talked about working with someone with bullying behaviors and Christie provides a perspective on these difficult relationships.   

    More About Christie:

    Christie Garcia is also a Speaker, Skillful Facilitator, and a distinguished Contributor to Forbes Coaches Council. With a notable career spanning two decades, Christie brings a wealth of expertise in the realms of sales, talent acquisition, leadership development, and Ego Management.

    For over a decade, she has worked with leaders from prominent companies and fast-growing startups, including but not limited to, Airbnb, Twitter, Movement For Life, Sunrun, and Oakley. Christie is the visionary Founder of the Mindful Choice Leadership Academy, where she crafts innovative programs that empower individuals and teams to master the art of taming their inner Ego within the dynamic world of business, partnerships, and leadership.

    Christie's flagship course, the Mindful Choice Leadership Academy, represents a cutting-edge paradigm shift in personal and professional growth. Her approach is refreshingly modern, and simple. She champions the idea that achieving greatness is within everyone's grasp, if they are willing to understand the role of their Ego.

    Christie's mission is to instill authentic confidence in her clients, enabling them to communicate effectively, align with their teams, and achieve their daily tasks and goals with unwavering accountability. All it takes is a conscious choice to be 1% better every day.

    3 Episode Takeaways:

    1.    We all have elements of the ego (Controller, Protector, and Complier) as laid out by Christie, and our ego behaviors can be triggered by emotions or stress.

    2.    Wanting to and becoming more self-aware will help us know the trigger points of our ego unconscious behavior which can help build our confidence.

    3.    All of us have difficult people in our lives and becoming owners of our part and speaking up can lead us to be more powerful to change our circumstances.
