    On this episode, I chat with Jeff Patterson, a meditation and martial arts expert with 30 years of experience, about how meditation can transform your life. Jeff shares the profound impact of the five regulations on mental health and overall well-being, offering practical advice for solo moms to reduce stress and find balance.

    00:45 Meditation offers immense benefits for everyone, and Jeff quotes the Dalai Lama: “Everyone should meditate for 20 minutes a day, unless you’re too busy; then you should meditate for an hour.”

    02:00 Jeff introduces the concept of the "five regulations" in meditation—body, breath, mind, energy, and spirit—which serve as the fundamental tools for any meditation practice.

    03:00 Regulating the body and breath is essential for managing stress and anxiety and can enhance physical and mental performance.

    45:00 Jeff emphasizes the importance of a consistent meditation practice and having a clear "why," as well as finding a good guide or teacher to help you benefit from meditation practice.

  • Summary

    In this episode, I discuss the evolving goals of solo moms, and talk about the importance of self-awareness and practical goal-setting strategies.

    I encourgae you to reflect on their desires and set specific, realistic goals while you navigate the challenges of motherhood.

    If you're seeking connection, don't parent alone. Join our community to amplify your voice and to get the support you need.

    And remember, you are the real hero in your story.

    Takeaways

    (00:01:33) Evolving Goals as Solo Moms: As children grow older, our’ goals, desires, and needs change. It's important to reassess these goals regularly and prioritize new ones, such as personal ambitions that may have been put on hold.

    (02:30:89) Self-Awareness is Key: Self-awareness is the starting point for achieving goals. Solo moms often focus so much on their children's lives that they lose track of their own identity. Taking time to reflect on who you are as an individual is essential for growth.

    (04:54:09) Journaling as a Tool for Clarity: A simple journaling exercise, where you write down who you are, what you love, and what you want to achieve, can help bring clarity, especially during chaotic or crisis-filled moments.

    (07:16:95) Setting Specific Goals: When setting goals, specificity is key. Instead of vague goals like "getting out of debt," focus on achievable, clear goals like paying off a specific credit card or saving a certain amount by a deadline.

    (08:22:38) Crisis Can Feel Overwhelming: In the middle of a crisis, it’s easy to feel out of control and lose perspective. A small exercise like journaling can help regain some focus and allow you to think more strategically during difficult times.

  • How we respond to circumstances affects how well we manage stress. In this episode, I review ways we typically handle stress and share some tips such as decluttering different aspects of our lives.

    Key Takeaways:

    (00:00:46) – Your Reaction Shapes the Outcome: How you react to stress and challenging situations determines the outcomes. A negative reaction often increases stress and leads to poor decisions.

    (01:24:78) – Stress and Burnout from Life Events: Life challenges, such as family deaths, family drama, and managing multiple responsibilities like podcasting, led to burnout and stress. Finding ways to manage stress is crucial.

    (03:26:13) – The Power of Organizing: Organizing your thoughts, mindset, workspace, and living space is essential in managing stress. It’s not just about physical decluttering but mental and emotional organization.

    (08:22:16) – Seek Help and Resources: It’s important not to shy away from seeing a therapist or talking to someone if you’re overwhelmed. Check workplace programs or find trusted individuals in your community.

  • In this episode I speak with Crystal Fedeli, an alcohol recovery coach who shares her story of triumph over alcohol use disorder.

    Listen as we peel back the layers of her personal struggle with alcohol addiction.

    We delve into the complications of alcohol use disorder, probing the notion of remission and the need for interventions tailored to the neurochemical imbalances of addiction, much like how cochlear implants serve physical impairments.

    Crystal's candid revelations not only illuminate her own path to sobriety but also highlight a message of hope and the promise of a renewed life for those entangled in the grip of alcohol.

    Using Chrystal's experience, we challenge entrenched beliefs about the origins of alcoholism and the efficacy of conventional treatment protocols.

    Her journey reflects a distinction between the ability to moderate drinking and the relentless hold of a neurochemical disorder.

    Our dialogue pivots to uncovering the transformative potential of alternative recovery approaches that address the biological and neurological facets of addiction.

    Crystal's voice carries with it the weight of experience and the clarity of hindsight, as we unravel the intertwined threads of addiction, underscoring that recovery is within reach with the right support and unwavering persistence.
