The Joy of Healing Your Self with Nicole LePera

The Joy of Healing Your Self with Nicole LePera

Dr. Nicole LePera is a holistic psychologist. She received traditional training in clinical psychology at Cornell University and The New School of Social Research, and she started the Instagram account @the.holistic.psychologist, which has become wildly popular. On it, she shares her tools for transformation with an ever-growing community of #SelfHealers. Most recently, she is the author of a book called How to Do The Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from your Past and Create Your Self. It’s a great book -- I learned so much from it, and I think there is so much joy that comes from healing ourselves.

In today’s episode, Nicole and I talk about all of it -- dealing with trauma (big T and little t), how to heal ourselves using all sorts of easy tools (jump to 24:35 for a conversation about singing, gargling, and the vagus nerve), setting boundaries, and Nicole’s Vitamin Joy challenge for us all. This is a powerful show. I hope you take a lot from it. I did. Enjoy!

The Joy of Writing with Adam Skolnick

I love interviewing authors and journalists, especially ones who cover things like freediving and rock climbing. These are my people! This is why I was so excited to chat with Adam Skolnick.

We also get into his journey to make a living as a writer, including the story of ghost-writing and independently publishing one of the best selling books ever. If you’re curious about writing, if you want to make a living doing what you love, or if you like to challenge yourself David Goggins-style -- this one's for you. Enjoy!

The Joy of Getting Offline with Chris Colin

The Joy of Getting Offline with Chris Colin

Chris Colin is a writer and author whose work has appeared in Best American Science & Nature Writing, the New York Times Magazine, Pop-Up Magazine, Wired, NewYorker.com, and Outside Magazine. In 2014, he co-wrote a book called What to Talk About, and in 2020, he started publishing Six Feet of Separation, the nation’s first pandemic newspaper by and for kids. Chris just published a new book, Off: The Day the Internet Died: A Bedtime Fantasy. It’s a kid’s book for adults -- beautifully illustrated, quirky, fantastical -- and it makes readers wonder: how would we all survive and deal with ourselves without the internet?

In this episode, we talk about the joy of writing a kid’s book for adults, how joyful it is to go offline, how you can do it without going cold turkey, and the benefits of an analog world. Just like Chris’s book, this episode is short and sweet. Enjoy!

The Joy of Healing Trauma and Awakening Our Wild Self with Kimberly Ann Johnson

The Joy of Healing Trauma and Awakening Our Wild Self with Kimberly Ann Johnson

Kimberly Ann Johnson is a Somatic Experiencing™ practitioner, author, breath coach, entrepreneur, and educator. Her first book, The Fourth Trimester: Healing Your Body, Balancing Your Emotions and Restoring Your Vitality, is about what happens after women give birth. It was a global success and has been published in seven languages.  Kimberly just released a brand new book called Call of The Wild: How We Heal Trauma, Awaken our Body and Use it for Good. It’s packed with science and information about our nervous systems, how we can heal, and how to reclaim our own natural power after experiencing trauma. Kimberly is big on helping us heal our nervous systems so we can have more Vitamin Joy.

Today’s show talks about actionable things we can do to heal ourselves -- things that are accessible, like breathwork, cold immersion, orienteering, and making a blue sandwich. (You’ll have to listen to find out what that is.) It’s a great episode, and one I think you’ll enjoy.

The Joy of Biohacking Your Health with Dave Asprey

The Joy of Biohacking Your Health with Dave Asprey

Sharing greater health and joy with others often starts with figuring out what works for yourself, and that’s exactly what Dave Asprey has done. Dave is the founder of Bulletproof Coffee, the creator of the Bulletproof Diet, a best selling author, and the self-proclaimed founder of biohacking. Over the last two decades, Dave has personally spent nearly $2 million to study with top scientists and doctors in order to better understand the most innovative methods, techniques, and products for enhancing mental and physical performance. His goal is to help people be better partners, parents, providers, and overall human beings in every aspect of life. Basically, to be bulletproof. He’s also the author of the new book Fast This Way.

In this episode, Dave and I talk about fasting, how it differs for men and women, ways to make fasting easier, his bulletproof diet, foods and vitamins he recommends, and of course, humor. While Dave and I don’t agree on all things, I find him to be incredibly fascinating, and I appreciate his personal story behind why he came to do the work he does, and why he finds so much meaning doing it.

The Joy of Simplicity, Sobriety and Minimalism with Courtney Carver

The Joy of Simplicity, Sobriety and Minimalism with Courtney Carver

Courtney Carver’s book Soulful Simplicity really changed how I think about “stuff.” I have been on a minimalist trend for years, but Courtney’s story really resonated with me. On overachiever in work and life, Courtney had developed an autoimmune condition that led her to re-examine her life -- the result led to a simpler lifestyle, which led to a blog, a book, another book, and a whole movement that’s brought a lot of people a lot more health and joy. I go back and read Soulful Simplicity a lot, because her messages about having more with less have brought so much Vitamin Joy to my life. It was an honor to talk with her about the joy of simplicity and minimalism -- both emotional and physical -- and we even got into the joy of sobriety, adding to the insights other guests have shared this season. This episode is packed with wisdom. Enjoy!

Dr. Louise Stanger is a licensed clinical social worker, former college professor, three-time published author, internationally renowned clinician, interventionist, speaker, and an expert on mental health, addiction, process disorders and chronic pain. She’s also my mom! She was named Interventionist of the year last year by Harvard’s McClean Hospital and recently published her third book, Addiction in the Family: Helping Families Navigate Challenges, Emotions, and Recovery, published by Rockridge Press.  Addiction affects a lot of families, and in this pandemic, a lot of people have turned to substances to get through it.

My mom and I talk a little about her background and why this field is so important to her having grown up in an alcoholic family. We get into what addiction is, how to start when helping yourself or a family member with an addiction, and some practical strategies to help you navigate making positive changes in your own life and in the lives of your family. Interviewing a parent is a real gift, and it’s a first for me. So listen all  the way to the end as we really find our flow. We get into practical tools to cope, real solutions, there’s some laughter and personal stories, and at the very end, I share a little about her book and my review. Enjoy!

Water Fasting and the Joy of a SOS-Free Plant Based Diet with Dr. Alan Goldhamer

Water Fasting and the Joy of a SOS-Free Plant Based Diet with Dr. Alan Goldhamer

Dr. Goldhamer is the founder of the True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, CA, which specializes in supervised water fasting. For over 35 years they’ve helped over 20,000 patients reverse various aliments and diseases through supervised water-fasting and the introduction and education of a plant-based, sugar-free, oil-free, and salt-free diet.

I know that sounds pretty hardcore, but this podcast is called Vitamin Joy. It’s about doing simple things in your life that can create massive amounts of joy. His techniques for what his results are are fairly simple – changing your diet and drinking only water. I get it’s  big leap for some people.

Dr. Goldhamer, who is a licensed osteopathic physician, the author of The Health Promoting Cookbook, and the co-author of The Pleasure Trap, has seen the process work firsthand and been part of several big-time peer reviewed studies published in major medical journals, and  recently been featured in movies like What The Health, and the Netflix special UnWell.

For today’s show, I talk about my own experience working with Dr. Goldhamer. I ask him to give us an overview of eating this, and how it can add more health and immunity to our lives, something we all care about right now. We also talk about how come it’s so hard for us to change our diets and how water fasting can make that change easier. This podcast gets even better towards the end.

Humor, Even in Emergencies with Dr. Candice “Dr. Bikini” Myhre

Humor, Even in Emergencies with Dr. Candice “Dr. Bikini” Myhre

Emergency Room Doctor Candice Myhre saves lives in emergency situations every single day. For her job, she has to flexible and fast – going from patients who are literally dying to dealing with things like an ear infection in the next room. Humor eases the transition. It also lets her connect with her patients better, getting critical diagnoses, and easing her patients’ pain and fears more easily in emergencies --where every second matters.

Recently, Canadice went viral on social media. After reading a study in a well-respected medical journal written by vascular surgeons that criticized women doctors for wearing bikinis on social media calling them more “unprofessional,” Candice spoke out about sexism in medicine. Her post went viral and she followed up by using humor to talk about a difficult subject.

On today’s show I ask Candice how humor brings her not only Vitamin Joy for herself, but how humor helps her in medicine, how it helps her patients, her coworkers and even how it helps make people healthier. We also talk a little about her newfound social media fame, how humor helps her as a parent, and on how humor can help us in our own lives,  even in emergencies, even when things feel heavy, even in the year 2020.

The Joy of Mindfulness Through Parenting (and Life) with Jaimal Yogis

The Joy of Mindfulness Through Parenting (and Life) with Jaimal Yogis

Using Mindfulness to Find Joy as a Parent, and even not as a parent -- not that easy right now. Today’s guest,Jaimal Yogis, is a longtime friend, a dad to three boys under ten, a husband, an author, a speaker, and a mindfulness expert. Jaimal has written several bestselling books, including Saltwater Buddah, The Fear Project, and his latest book, which is a beautifully illustrated kid’s book (equally pleasing to adults) called Mop Rides the Waves of Life. It teaches kids about feelings through surfing. Jaimal and his wife are busy. She’s a CEO of a health technology company. He’s got a fulltime job. And they are moving houses right as we record this show. Since he’s so great about talking about mindfulness (the guy once tried to be a monk) I asked Jaimal tips and tricks about his own journey on finding joy through the chaos of parenthood, being a husband and just being a human in this time. This conversation made me feel calmer. I hope it does the same for you!
