    Ep 32: Climate Change Measures Versus True Ecological Care

    This is an audio recording of a written essay. Read the full essay and access all referenced links at http://meghantelpner.com/climate More from Meghan Subscribe: http://fun.meghantelpner.com Shop all courses: http://fun.meghantelpner.com/shop We’re being told ‘climate change’ is the crisis we need to pay attention to. If this is true, is it possible we’re being pointed in the wrong direction regarding both primary causes and solutions? And what if it’s not true, or not in the way we’re being led to believe? This distinction could make a world of difference. What follows is a nuanced view. This is not a black-or-white issue but one that is deeply complex and that requires more thought and action than news headlines and public figures are leading us to believe. This episode explores: What we really need to consider when it comes to whether our climate is in fact changing Some important questions to ask regarding how much impact day-to-day human activity is having The habits and culture that should be addressed as it relates to our care for the environment The potential impact of clearing forests, modifying weather, and tech-based solutions What true ecological care means How we can learn from those who walked these lands before us

    Ep 30: The Time in Between: How to Be More Present

    Here is a written version and references https://www.meghantelpner.com/blog/the-time-in-between-how-to-be-present/ More information on my 4-Week Wake-Up and Rise + Shine Intuition Masterclass: https://www.meghantelpner.com/superpowers Access to a free Coherence Session here:  https://www.meghantelpner.com/magic -- As adults we’ve been conditioned to fill all the time we have. We fill it with perpetual busyness and when we don’t have something to do, we get twitchy. We scroll, we click, we formulate comments, we scroll and click some more until it’s time for us to do something else. Every moment that passes us by where we fail to be present is a potential wasted opportunity of just being; of enjoying that time in between where we experience absolute joy and happiness. In this episode of On My Mind, I share strategies to help you stop and be in the present moments.

    Ep 29: Why Are We Afraid To Create?

    Here is a written version and references https://www.meghantelpner.com/blog/why-are-we-afraid-to-create/ More information on my 4-Week Wake-Up and Rise + Shine Intuition Masterclass: https://www.meghantelpner.com/superpowers Access to a free Coherence Session here:  https://www.meghantelpner.com/magic -- We have ideas – ideas for the company we work for, ideas for our own business or an idea of a new business, hobbies, or initiatives we want to do. We’re sparked, we’re excited and then do nothing. We don’t ever take the first step. We’re afraid it’s silly, or will be a lot of work, or it won't be good, or won’t succeed and so… nothing. What if creation could be part of our everyday lives? What if every single day we set the goal to do one thing that taps into that inner creative force we all have to create something? In this episode of On My Mind, I share how to start the creative process - and what I'm doing to tap into my creativity these days.

    Ep 26: From FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) to JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out)

    Here is a written version and references: https://www.meghantelpner.com/blog/fomo-to-jomo/ Access the free Coherence Session here: https://culinarynutrition.lpages.co/magic/  We’ve all done this at one point: we’re out for dinner and constantly check our phones, we double-, triple- or quadruple-book our schedules to have social plans, or we stalk other people’s photos and posts on social media. This is the condition of FOMO, or “Fear Of Missing Out”. And there are both mental and physical implications to FOMO. In this episode of On My Mind, I share how to shift from feelings of FOMO to feelings of JOMO - the joy of missing out. This concept invites us to enjoy and celebrate our disconnection from technology and social media and experience a healthier, happier life. Learn five different ways I achieve JOMO. They're simple, but I acknowledge they're not always easy!
