"The person who contacted me son you were talking to sandy lebas co executive director of the federal air marshal National Council said that one of their family members was involved in this where they need targeting of the person on the plane by the air marshal was almost certainly political and had nothing to do whatsoever with terrorism Are you hearing this too Dan we're not only hearing that we believe that as well I mean if I could just set the stage for you we're a nonpartisan group However within the last two years what we're seeing within our agency is the weaponization of the federal air Marshals for a political agenda one of the areas we've been providing the agencies provided our information to China So all the air Marshals that were flying missions to China prior to stopping that China got all their personal identifiable information their information on their families informations on their brothers their sisters their moms and their dads If air Marshals refused to give that information to China they were suspended Okay that was number one Number two the failure in Afghanistan the withdrawal from Afghanistan They took the air Marshals out of the aircraft that go to and work at all the military bases around the United States I mean we're very small workforce and they already depleted our workforce by taking us and putting us on these details They took us off for the Afghan refugee details operation allies welcome and put us in the military bases working Then they come back and they pull us back out of the air and send us down to the southwest border okay Now they're classifying Americans that attended a rally on January the 6th and by the way you didn't have to attend the rally to be claimed the domestic terrorists You just had to fly into the region Now they're now they're doing this So you set those things up What does that appear to be

"Sonya is someone who really knows about this I was not a fan I was in 1811 in a different space but having flown a lot most people obviously have That's a really intimate space You know we all have this personal zone I don't know two two and a half feet of personal space where when people get in it we get uncomfortable That's not on a plane You're surrounded person to your left person you're right if you're in a middle seat they are right on top of you You're sharing an armrest Whatever you're texting or whoever you're talking to it's almost like getting a search warrant for someone's device if you're seated next to them I think that's why this program really unnerved a lot of people when I brought it up the spying program Well you're absolutely correct and we don't have a search for it to do that When we're sent out on these special missions to spy on folks that have been deemed domestic terrorists because they tended a First Amendment right rally just because they flew into the National Capital Region around January the 6th 2021 Americans have been targeted They have been placed on watch lists They've been placed on lists that classified them as a domestic terrorist not only within our agency but within the airlines as well

"The doing? What are the actions that I can take every day? How do I become reconnected to my own body? How do I reclaim joy and in this vessel that I've gotten so many messages that's deficient. I talk about in the book being a kid and when you're a child in the teacher ring the bell for recess. I don't know about you, but I like grew wings in kindergarten. I grew wings and I flew outside. That's how fast I needed to get outside in play. And there was a joy to going and moving and being embodied, and then somehow we were stripped of that joy, and it became drudgery. Moving our bodies became punishment. Moving our bodies became the thing that we paid 24 hour fitness $20 a month to never do, because we never feel like going. It became this really tense visceral antagonistic relationship. And so what would it look like to reclaim joy in my body? What would it look like to reclaim pleasure in my body? What would it look like to reclaim connection in my body? And how do I take action to do that on a daily basis? How do I replace those old activities of self deprecation with things that actually bring me a lot of joy? And so basically, all of these things, these tools, I created a workbook where people can actually practice, putting them in place, doing them on a daily basis. And so inside of the workbook, I give us an assignment to rediscover the games that brought us the most joyous kids. Like when's the last time you played red light green light? When is the last time you played hide and go seek with a bunch of adults? Go outside. And so there's this invitation to return to our site of joy. To reclaim that for ourselves. And so in unapologetic action, that's what we're asking. The other piece inside of unapologetic action is about now that we recognize the stories we've been telling ourselves about how deficient we are. The stories that reinforce the larger societal indoctrination. Now that we recognize those things, how do we create a new story? How do I literally tell myself a different story than the story I've been telling myself historically? And again, inside the workbook, I give us the opportunity to actually practice writing a new story. To take that thing that was the most shameful that I had the most judgment about myself. The story of being the skinny boy who was never going to be love. How do I turn that story around in a literal way and write myself an ending that is more aligned with my truth? And then how do I practice their living into that? And so as we exercise these muscles, we create the conditions for medical self love not to feel like a distant thing, but to fill up close to us. Like a thing we can practice and live into on a daily basis. Yeah, I love that. There's so many good things in there. I mean, I think about stories and I've talked about this on the podcast so many times, we're making them up. So if we're making them up, why on earth would we not choose ones to back to your earlier question? Is this belief or this thing giving me more peace, joy, ease, power? If my stories aren't doing that, once we sort of really look at it and go, oh, I'm making meaning out of it. I'm the one that's creating all this, why not? Why not? If I'm gonna write a story, I might as well write the one where it's a happy ending. That's right. But as well. That's right. And then the last one, and this one I know is really important to the whole picture, which is why I wanted to make sure we got to it, is collective compassion. Talk about this one. Yeah, so, you know, I say in the book, like you could do everything. You could do all the things I said. You could do all the tools. If you don't do these last two tools, you're going to struggle in this journey. You're going to find yourself on a side of a steep hill that's mud, trying to climb up. Collective compassion is one. That this is not an individual journey, which I said at the beginning of our conversation, that this is not about individualism, that this is about interdependence. And the truth of the matter is you have an entire societal infrastructure of systems and organizations and edifices that are designed to keep you not feeling enough that are designed to make sure that you don't actually think that you can affect change in your own life or in the world. They are intentionally created as such. So if you think you're going to just do battle with that juggernaut by yourself, you're going to be sadly mistaken. It's going to be very, very difficult. Near impossible. To be able to maintain any kind of sense of power against that. And so we need each other in this. We have to be in a collective experience where we are battling those voices, not just me up against the machine. But us against it, right? And so the more that you find your people, the more that you find the people who are in alignment with the journey that you're interested in taking, far easier the journey becomes. So much more doable and sustainable the journey becomes. And so collective compassion requires us to find community and to do this work in community. Again, because our liberation is tied up together. Our radical self love journey is tied up together. And then the last piece, and this is tool number ten, final tool, the most important thing you're gonna do. If you do everything and you fell to really live into this, you will find yourself back in this old paradigm. And that is give yourself some grace. That we actually have to recognize that this is not a journey of perfection. And as soon as we're inside of a conversation of perfection, we're outside of a conversation of radical self love. As soon as you are judging yourself because you got it wrong, see, I always get it wrong. I did a workshop on time in a participant called it meta shame. Shame for having shame. How about y'all? And I'm not so bad for feeling bad and now I feel bad hopefully. It's a lot. And so what I invite us to do is say, of course, I'm in perfect in this journey. Yeah. That is one of the actual beautiful parts of my humanity, is that I'm imperfect that I'm gonna get it wrong. Then I get to experiment and mess up and try again. That is part of the journey. I tell people all the time I run an entire organization, I've dedicated the last decade of my life to nothing but radical self love. And there are days I do not feel very loving about myself. And I don't feel that. And the work, the work of radical self love is, can I love the Sonya that doesn't feel loving toward herself until Sonya loves herself again. I love you Sonia that feels not enough. I love you Sonia the gat it wrong. I love you Sonia that don't feel like love and me. And the more that I open up to that experience of love of loving the imperfect version of me, the more I return myself to the stasis of love, to love as the

"Is that feeding the wolf we don't want fed? Yeah, I think that is really well said. As you go through that list, one of those is aging. So even if somehow, you get to a certain age where you're like, I've always felt great about how I look in my body. You're like, well, but just hang on because it's coming. It's coming with age. Although, as somebody who is just the upper side of 50, I will say that in addition, one of the great things that age has brought is time to heal some of those things so that I don't have the same fears and challenges around it. I had as a child. And that's really what I would like to maybe spend our time on is what can people do to heal the issues they have around their body around their self image around all these different things. And I thought maybe we would start with first saying, you know, you talk about that what we want is radical self love. And I'd like to contrast that with terms like self esteem and self confidence. As a starting place to sort of say that that's not really what we're talking about. Yeah, absolutely. So I opened the book by being like, here's what you're not going to get. If you read this book, you're not going to get help with your self esteem and your self confidence. And the reason that I say that is one because both of those things are very conditional experiences. How you feel about yourself, how you're confidence is situated varies from day to day, depending on what's going on. Did I get the promotion that I thought I was going to get, right? I feel great going into the meeting. I come out feeling like, man, I'm just, this never works for me, you know? And then I'm in my story about how I'm not good enough, right? Confident shot for the day. So for steam, it's like, you know, I feel important or good or fabulous. I often give the example of like, I put it on a fly outfit. I'm like, yes, fabulous. And I go outside and no one gives me a compliment on my outfit that day. I'm like, wait a minute. Maybe I'm not as cute as I was. I'm gonna have to wear this again, right? So these things that are conditional and externalized and change with the weather, right? And again, radical self love is not fickle in that way. It's not conditional. It's not determined by whether or not it is externally validated by the outside world. The same way an acorn doesn't become a fig tree because somebody else has said, you look better as a fig tree. Right? It is wired inside of itself to be an oak tree. We are wired inside of ourselves to have radical self love. And when I talk about it, I'm talking about that inherent state of enoughness that we arrived here with. That unconditional certainty that we were amazing. I think I've said this on every single talk I've ever done is you've never seen a self loathing toddler because I think it's an important marker for us to remember that there is a point through which we passed where we were embodied in our enoughness and then something shifted, right? And so if we recognize that we came here embodied in our enoughness, then the question isn't like, oh, did it leave? No. I mean, just from a physics standpoint, it couldn't leave energy can not be created nor destroyed only transfer, then it's still there. It's just doing something different. What is it doing different? It's being usurped by the messages of our external world that say that we're not enough and that profit off of us really deeply believing that we're not enough. And so radical self love is different from those things because it is already there it is the foundation. And then the other thing I think is really important for me about why it's not self esteem is self confidence is because I love folks and I love what I do and I actually want people to have good self esteem and self confidence. But I would not devote the amount of time and effort that I spend in my life tending to people's individual self esteem and self confidence. I'll get anything out of that. What I do get something out of is recognizing that there is a society that is rooted in our messages about who is good enough and who is not good enough. And that as much as we internalize those messages, we reinforce that system of not enoughness for other bodies. So, the body that you are judging yourself against about whether or not you are enough is someone else's body, which means you are in the way of them being able to be in the fullness of their radical self love. As long as we believe that certain bodies that white bodies are more valuable than black bodies on a structural level, then I, as a black woman, am always going to be in a harder road towards accessing my radical self love. As long as we believe that neurotypical bodies are more valuable than neuro atypical bodies or bodies that we say don't have mental health issues. As long as we believe that, I have a harder road to radical self love. And so, I do this work, the radical part of it is that we wake up to this system that we've all been indoctrinated in, and we get out of our own way, and we get out of each other's way. So that we can all grow into the highest versions of ourselves. That's why it's radical self love. Right. And you talk a lot in the book about, I'm paraphrasing, but there's a real two way street or a mutuality about this. It's by learning to both love myself and love others, those things they mutually reinforce or what's the opposite of reinforced tear down, right? The more that I learned to love me, the more I'm able to love you, and the more I'm able to love you, the more I'm able to love me, it's a good thing versus the more I judge myself, the more I judge you, the more I judge you, I end up judging myself. These things play off each other. Absolutely. I mean, we're all in an interdependent relationship. And so, you know, we go into these often this kind of work, you know? People often lump my work into personal development work. And I can see why they do that except I'm very clear that I do social justice work. I'm just very clear that society is made up of people. Right. And so people have to change in order for society to change. And so inside of this story in our current society is the story of individualism that it's all about I can change and then I change by myself and then my life improves. As if our lives are not twined with one another, as if we are not dependent on each other in a hopes of ways. And so as I divest from this system that says that I am not enough. I become aware of all the other people it is said is not enough. And if I believe that that system is lying to me, then that system must be lying about all those other bodies too. And the only way for me to actually be able to live in my radical self love without obstruction in the world is to remove all of the obstructions that tell us that we're not enough. Not just the ones that impact me. Because eventually, another one will pop up that will be obstructing your lane again. And so we actually are tied to each other in this journey of really living into the full possibility of radical self love

"Again. But essentially, what I'm kind of getting at is that there's a lot of questions to be answered because these large language models and other AI technologies are going to be able to do a lot more powerful stuff for us. Here we go, we've got Sonya back again. Are you with us? Yes. I was just explaining that. One question is, where are these things getting data from? Is it kind of ethically ethically sourced and fairly attributed? There's all these questions about privacy. There's all the questions about power and authority. This question is about biases, racial biases, and all kinds of other biases and trade and data. So it's such an interesting area that is, yeah, definitely worth has to be explored in 2023. I hope so. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, nice. What do you think then 2023? What do you think are some of the obviously we've heard a little bit about what you're good at it? What do you think or what you expect and we'll see in 2023 from a kind of conversational AI industry standpoint, whether it's from a technology adoption, some of the trends that you might think that you think we'll see. Yeah. I think we're going to see, wow. Experiences where it really isn't just about isolated technologies, but how do we really come together in that whole journey, whether it's for the business or for the customer? We're going to see greater integration of these conversational AI tools and platforms in ways that will be much better for the user. They will be much more delightful, much, much easier. More graceful, and I'm looking forward to that because that's going to start feeling like we really started arriving. That to me is my definition of when it really makes sense, holistically, and we're really doing something amazing with it.

"Welcome to Sonya's parkes. So I went to a wedding and it was a beautiful wedding, but then it had started ringing. Now yeah, I'm superstitious, and here's why. When I got married, it was beautiful, it was a beautiful sunny day. Me and my husband, my husband cried. Which shocked me in the preacher, the preacher was like, I truly understand this is a magical moment, but I'm looking like this is new to me. But as years went by, I was the one crying because he literally destroyed my life. So. I don't know if it's gonna rain on somebody's wedding day. I don't know if that's a good sign or a bad sign. You know it's God singing. You know, this is a happy moment for y'all. Or this is tears of something disastrous to be ahead. I don't know. But he has what I feel. This is just how I feel. That I always believe that when you get married, the sun should shine, and why I believe that is because I believe that marriage is a beautiful, beautiful thing. And there's two people who is committed to each other who is going to be there for each other to death through them part who's going to love each other, who's just going to, you know, enjoy their time together. Now, if a poor down ring and you just got married, like I said, I'm superstitious. I feel that this marriage is going to be a disaster. Because it should never rain when you're getting married, it should always be, I feel like the sun should always shine. But that's just my feelings. Yeah, I can tell me what y'all think about it. You know, because maybe I know someone who actually it raining until today the marriage is still great or, you know, it's just a wonderful thing. But like I said, it was a beautiful wedding. It was a lovely wedding. You know, that the couple they really loved each other is really, you know, it just really was all along beautiful, but like I said, y'all tell me what y'all think. It's like I said, I am superstitious people. I believe that there should never be rain when it's a marriage. I always believe there should be sun sun Shelby shining. You know happiness, love, peace and joy forever. But that's just my thoughts. And I like to thank you for listening to my podcast, please get a 5 star review on speaker Spotify.

"Welcome to the Sonya story time. So this story is about a time that we're going to call this energy. So you have to be careful with certain people in their energy. So I had someone that he said to me, he was like, oh, I miss you. And I'm like, oh, that is so sweet. So I go, I miss you too. So he's like, give me a hug. So I'm like, oh, giddy, so I go give him a hug. So then, I don't know where I could not catch my breath. Like, this is not a make believe story. This really happened. I could not catch my breath light. So I'm feeling like I'm catching a asthma attack. That's how it felt like I'm catching an asthma attack. So I'm like trying to breathe so that all of a sudden it's like I'm coughing. I'm like, I'll just cough and cough and cough me. He's sitting here the whole time. With his. Hands it's over his arms. You know how most guys they sit with their hands over the arms, like a cross. So he's laid back with his hands over his arm and his eyes is cold. So I am choking. Do y'all hear me? I'm choking. I'm like, oh, I really choking. And the whole time, he's just laid back, and then he goes, are you okay? So when I finally caught my breath, and I actually had my asthma pump, I started pumping my asthma pump. I might do it. Look like I'm okay. So you said, oh, I didn't know. I didn't know what was happening. So I'm like thinking to myself, you're not moving, you don't, you're not, you just, I'm over here literally choking and you're just sitting there like, I can't even describe how it was. I can't describe like, he just laid back on. On the chair, but his arms crossed his eyes is just close. So I'm just like, they get to myself like, what the hell just happened? Like, why was I'm choking, why couldn't I breathe and why in the world is he just sitting here like he don't hear me over here actually almost dying? So after all of that, I was like, I had a second guess at like. This is surreal to just really happy was I'm dreaming. You know, like, you ever have been where is something so real that you hope it's a dream? Or you hope that you want to imagine that this is actually going on because it would make more sense if you are imagining for it to be real and really happening, so I'm just like, did I just create after I got myself together and got some ward and stuff like that? I asked myself, well, how bad did you miss me? So I said, oh, I missed you a lot. So I'm like, oh, okay. But I'm superstitious. I really am. I believe in bad energy, I believe in voodoo. I believe in all of that. So I'm like. What's this? Some type of darkness. That. He didn't hear me choking. He didn't move the whole time the whole time. From the time I looked over to him and even when I was better, his eyes was closed the whole time. So I'm like, did he just wish just all up on me? I know it sounds crazy. I realized that a lot of things in my life and when I tell it to people, it sounds crazy, but it be real. And I have to think to myself like, Carl, what is wrong? What is going on here? What is happening? That you are around so many people, 'cause I had a lot of people in my life a lot of people that sometimes I have to realize what's real, like is they really real or is there some type of bad energy from them like did he really miss me or did he just wish me deaf upon that time that he seek me? So I don't know. I didn't know and I said I know it sounds crazy but I do I have so many stories and so much done happen like so many things have happened to me so I'm like, I'm very, very aware now of people like back when I was younger I was not aware of people. At all I thought like I had some awareness but I wasn't fully aware like I am now. So now I'm very aware of everyone. So I know if you vibe with me or if you're not vibing with me, I know if your energy is good or if your energy is not good, but yeah that was my story time and thank you for listening to Sonya's story time.

Where Does Derek Brunson Go From Here?
"Let's talk about dark brunson because he looked great. He dominates he submits darren till in the third round. He's now won five in a row. He's tear it up. And in the contextual sense. He has absolutely done enough to earn a title. Shot in fact. I will strongly argue. He is more deserving title. Shot than marvin vittori was when he got the title shot. Robert whitaker is next. Brunson could easily wait for a title shot. He could be a backup. He could be replacement fighter for that fight or he could go ahead and just take another fight. So where does derek brunson go from. Another dominant win. I'll be shocked if he's not at least slotted in as a reserve for the Sonya you would occur rematch when whenever that happens and it's not. It hasn't been book yet. We're all thinking early. Twenty twenty two. I'm sure brunson will be ready by then. I'm sure he's staying in shape. He's aware of the possibility. I know we said on another show recently. That fighters shouldn't take reserve opportunities. But i mean. I think they should if they're only if they're guaranteed show money and win money. It brunson gets that guarantee. I know that's not gonna happen. That's not how the ucf works. I think they might get their show money usually because they show up and they weigh in. So that's the minimum. You should also get your win money. I want that to be a policy in the usa going forward. And that's the case. Brunson one hundred percent. Be ready for that spot. He's he's definitely earned that for me. If he can wait. I wanna see him weight. This ideal situation that sonya and whitaker shah you're february the late and then And then we you know maybe brunson can get in there. I guess it would be may probably may or april which seems like a long time but if you can wait that long. That's how i would do it. I he deserves tell shot he should notify anyone else. Yeah i mean. I think he's absolutely unequivocally in the driver's seat for the next in line. Spot behind whittaker it's oughta sonya whitaker brunson then cannon air in my eyes and if i'm derek brunson like you said there's nothing more you need to do your next fight should be for the belt and you hope that robert whitaker doesn't beat israel ottesen it because then there's going to be a trilogy fight yada yada. Yada canadair needs brunson to solidify title. Shot brunson does not need cannon air to solidify his in my eyes for the sake of check the tapes and all that the ufc will probably make the fight between brunson and cannon air possibly put it on the same card is out of sonya whitaker. So that's why pick.

Will Brunson's Frustration Affect Him Against Till?
"Brunson's very consistent but with those consistencies. He has consistently had a problem with a striker. He can't take down. Brunson gets frustrated. I know it because it was the problem in my career. So i can see what other guys have it when they have the same problem. I can see it if brunson comes out in his game plan is to take you down and he fails to take you down. He gets frustrated and things unravel very quickly. If you go see also too great fights if you wanna go back right if you're betting on this fight to great ones to see before you form your opinion anderson silva vs derek brunson derek. Brunson beat anderson silva. He lost the decision. He won the fight one of those nights. But he's in there with a great striker anderson. Brunson was successfully getting down at least part of the time so he didn't get frustrated his plan that he came in there with work at least part of the time it was enough to march him forward through fifteen minutes. The decision is history. The opposite happened when brunson oughta sonya he knew the blueprint he knew very clearly. I must take a sonya down and so did the rest of us because it was on the heels of artists on your inventory were vittori did take him down held them. They're frustrated oughta sonya so brunson knows what he needs to do when he failed to sign. You got his hips away. Got under kept him back on the feet. Brunson got frustrated. So it's it's one of those deals because in many ways this is the same fight it is till a striker. And he's great at it and he's weird. He's a very awkward approach. He twists the hips. He keeps his hands down. He goes southpaw. he goes orthodox. He looks like he's gonna kick when he's punching. He looks like he's gonna punch when he kicks. He's awkward adds to effectiveness. Good news for brunson even though it's the first time he's fighting till it's not the first time he's fought that awkward style. Okay we are going to have a long fight. I don't close my eyes and invention away that brunson gets till out of there. I can see ways that till stops brunson. I can see where till hurts it. But they're unlikely you're going to have a long drawn out contest and brunson has always impressed me with his ability to compete the harder the rounds get the more he's gotta dig the more grind and grimy gets he seems to rise to. I think that's the kind of fight that he's going to have picking

Darren Till's Record Is One of Inconsistency
"Darren till versus kelvin. Gasol and that's a big fight of we did it today. It was an even bigger fight than it had major implications on it. I remember working for. Espn out there and dana came to the desk. This is prior to the fight. And i said to him flat out if darren till beats kelvin will be considered for the championship fight against sonya and dana said. Yes so simple as that but just to remind you of this timeframe. That would've may darren until undefeated at one eighty five even if he would have taken out a top contender in gats lem. Who just had the most razor thin fight of audits on his career there was a major revolving door. It would have opened things for till taking you back to that time from shows up to press conference and he almost fell asleep at he was so tired. So you're not gonna expect till the do very well in all fairness that's a super hard fight in a foreign land while you're exhausted at away class you have been at. Oh by the way now you get the pleasures of jetlag real thing. Till's dog going to perform well wrong. He did. But i could say the same thing about the night that till lost the welterweight championship fight to woodley. He was a favourite. The sport was getting ready to welcome in the till era. People thought he was going to run away with it and it wasn't a matter that t- would beat him if he would have beat him. I don't think i'm having this conversation. I probably would have forgotten. The fight happened. it was the way till performed. He did it till greatly underperformed. He got taken down. He's hard to take down. He got taken down. He got mauled when he was there. He got tired within the fight. It was just the performance. The lights were bright. There was a lot on. It was a massive weight cut in he underperformed point that make it. You don't know what makes this guy tick the night that till popped onto the radar. He gets thrown into a main event against cowboys. Sarony i remember. Shaab doing an entire piece on this prior to the fight and brennan was saying cowboy. Don't take this fight. There's nothing for you to gain. You're taking on an absolute unknown. All you have to do is lose esteem. even if you beat this guy you get nothing if you do anything short of steamroll him you go backwards till one the fight and he did it in the first round it did surprise everybody right you know cowboys gonna take the fight. You know that story cowboy didn't give a damn. I'm just setting the stage for you of till's career in the performances that till has had with what you thought would happen when you think everything's gonna be smooth. He's going to perform well. He doesn't when you think everything's against him he's going to go out there and laying egg he doesn't he doesn't he still inconsistent.

"You will absolutely find yourself back in your old loops in your old stories and one of the things that i think because we are so indoctrinated again inside of this idea of getting it right is that when we found ourselves back in our old loops like failed right and then we have what what one of my workshop participants called meta shame now have shamed for having shame. Right that's exhausted. That's a lot of. It's a truckin of shame. And i think what what we can offer ourselves is is the grace of imperfection on the journey. I tell people all the time. I run an entire organization. I've written three books. All related to only about focus my whole life on radical self love and there are days when i do not feel like i like myself and i don't like this body when i'm over it and my work on those days is to love the sonya the doesn't feel like she loves her body until she loves her body again. I love you song. You feels not enough. I love you sonya. Who feels like you're failing on. You can't fit into this shirt us to be able to fit into. I love you. And the more that practice loving that sonia that imperfect on her journey sonya the more capacity. I have to return to that space of love. I invite that for all of us on this journey. It's the only thing that makes sustainable. Let me go back into sort of my role to asked for of spokesman for all straight white males so i can hear too skeptical arguments emerging from a straight white male reptile brain. One is at. I'll let you attack either or both one is this whole i love you. Fill in the blank thing is forced overly earnest to swim trickily. I want to do it. The other is if i feel like i'm enough. If i love myself. I get over my insufficiency i will be utterly ineffective. I weren't car vicious. Yes exactly both of those. I'm quite familiar with the first thing that we have to do is just acknowledge whether it's resistance and get curious about the resistance because the first scenario it was just resistance saccharin. It's too sweet. I don't wanna. I wanna love myself. What does that even sound like. Like if you let yourself just sit with the reflection of our love myself let yourself be with that right because i think if we sit with that long enough we started to be like. There's something underneath that. There's a fear underneath it. There's a fear that i'm gonna lose something. There's a fear that again that the external things that i have gained by not being in that relationship will be lost right. I'm gonna lose something and let yourself be with that right. 'cause the truth of the matter is in this is again one of the uncomfortable realities of radical self. Love is you will lose something in a world that has rewarded you for being disconnected from yourself disconnected from others and plugged into dominance and aggression as the way in which to assign value divesting from. That will cost you. And i am never gonna pretend like it will not it absolutely will cost you. And it's the reason why people cling to it and what i want to invite in that space is choosing you. That's what i really want to invite is what would it look like to choose me because some of us have only ever had that option. And i think that's an important thing to remember is there's only so much cashing in on what the system says is appropriate or dateable that i can use. It expires at my fatness. It expires at my blackness. It expires at my woman. There are things that are immutable about me that the system will never ever say is the top rank and so i've had to figure out either to live in self loathing about those things or to to recognize the system as a liar that is that is stealing something from me is stealing my wholeness my connection to other humans and my connection to myself and i invite people particularly the folks who are at the top of that wrong the people who get rewarded the most for being the most disconnected from this to take back your humanity. 'cause that's actually the thing that the latter ask you to exchange. Can you be less fully human with yourself and with others in exchange for all of these external prices. And i believe that if we really let ourselves into ourselves we want our humanity back. I can see it. I see it every single day. That there are ways in which we all want the fullness of our humanity back and i believe the radical self love offers us that that's question number one question number two if the only thing that is making you ambitious is the idea that you are not enough. If what you have attained requires you to be less fully connected to yourself. I would offer that it's on its way to crumbling anyway. It is not sustainable. It is not sustainable because they are not asking you to pull from an inexhaustible resource they're asking you to pull from an exhaustible resource that has limited amounts of energy time and actual physical existence. And so if your ambition is only driven by an engine that is soon to burn out. It's gonna burn out anyway. Love i assure you the radical self love mix you alive. It makes you a live to your purpose..

"Weekend, the unofficial kickoff this summer and Dr Sonya. He joins us now from you, Abe's and Texas Disease Department. Get the updates in the loop on everything code Welcome. And Doc, Thanks for being back with me. Thanks. Good morning. Well as we get ready for getting out and really just kind of, you know, flipping the bird to Corona virus this weekend as we advance in a in a good direction with the vaccines and You know, coming out of the pandemic tunnel. If you will were still not 100% out of this thing, and there's still some concerns from a lot of people on the vaccines and where we are with the virus will talk about Japan and what's going on there in the Olympics right around the corner here in just a minute, but What to get your thoughts on. Let's start with the vaccines. First of all. What I hear from people that don't want to get vaccinated. It's an M. R and a vaccine which is different than the usual vaccines. Jake, do you just not familiar with those vaccines there? They're not as good. And how could anything develop this quickly? Be safe. So can you address the different Types of vaccines. I guess there's two different types of vaccines and what this one is and you know, how could it be developed this quickly and still be safe? So I think you know there's a couple things when we do have and no viral vector vaccine, which is the Johnson and Johnson. Those people are not comfortable with the M R in a vaccine, which is a newer platform. They always Congar. Oh to that other viral vector vaccine. I think the reason that this was able to be studied so quickly, in part is because we were having so many events and by events. I mean so many cases of coded And so you know, if you have, If you have a study where the event doesn't happen very frequently, you have to study it for a much longer time to prove that it is beneficial or efficacious that it's gonna work in this case since we had so many cases of Kobe's last year. The group that didn't get the vaccine got a lot more cases, and it was very easy to show that it was beneficial. I think the other thing was far safety goes is, you know we have trial stage one through three, and then when it gets released out into the public, we continue to get reports and we investigate those. And I'm sure your audience has heard about short pause is that the CDC and other than the FDA has put on trial toe look into any questions that are going on. And with any with any issues with the vaccines, and so were 300 million doses that have been given nearly in this country at this point, which is just phenomenal, and we have a lot of information on those people that have gotten those vaccines, so the more people that get vaccinated, the more information we continue to have on that safety. And hopefully you know, compared to January, say people are becoming increasingly more and more comfortable with the vaccine, right. I'm glad to hear that because I have a certain amount of relief knowing that I've had both of my shots and when I go out in public, or I'm around people inside buildings And that Okay? Yes. You could still get code. Yes, you could still be a carrier. But if I get covert now, with the double shots already in me Obviously it's not gonna be a serious for me having had the vaccine as if I were unvaccinated, right? That is exactly right. And I think that's the biggest thing you hear from people. I know I got the vaccine very early as a health care worker, and I didn't really appreciate how much of a sigh of relief it was going to be. I was walking on eggshells in January and February, and, um And it really was a big sigh of relief. And I think, even as we hear of, you know some breakthrough cases of people who are fully vaccinated But get Cove it. They're very mild cases like a common cold. And so even though we see some of that at U A B, we're treating some of those people. I think if it wasn't Hope it's season. They wouldn't even even gotten tested. They it was such a mild illness, and you're exactly right. It's that prevention of hospitalizations. I see you stays death, and if we can get this more like a common cold, that's a win for everyone. We're gonna take a quick break. We'll come back more with Dr Sun you heat If you've got any questions, now's the time to call 88891. Oh 51. Oh, five. We'll talk about the next phase of the vaccinations and what that looks like is far as Possible booster shots, the very instant are involved. And why are we hitting somewhat of a plateau right now of vaccinations in the state and across the country as well? We're only 50% vaccinated. You need to get up there closer to 70 years. 80. Is that realistic? More with Dr Sonya Heath coming up after traffic and weather together Just about three minutes. Stay with us means radio 1055. Don't we are see attention.

That began began in india. That'd be here for me about much. So i actually was born not in where my parents are from. My mom is from regimen dri.

Now i spent eleven years here growing up when i landed in india. I do feel at home. I had an american accent had an american attitude.

They were poor but he always had hoped and he knew that you know god was going to bless him and so consequently he worked hard. You know to take care of my mom. My sister and i and i mean it was nothing that you know. He didn't try to to make happen for us. You know within reason not being wasteful or anything like that. And so it probably.

I know that in nonprofit work Nonprofit work takes a lot of work and especially to to get something off the ground Where do you see god working in kaleidoscope. That's a big question. Isn't it missing. And i think the the heart behind lenny collided. Goat was because there was so much more beyond just the children in a youth of the church on our church. Is the fort bench herge. We are in portland. County and for being county is a very big county Was part is a wealthy county but then there are pockets. That are not so wealthy. And so i've always had the mindset that you know your social economic status your race or class none of that dictates you know the ability that you have or the calling that god may have placed upon your life and so the breadth and heart of colitis goal is really what it says to encourage develop our youth leaders and scholars and so it doesn't matter if you're not living and a half million dollar home but you might be living in low income housing but if you're bringing your brilliant and kaleidoscope is going to help you to recognize that brilliance.

I did kind of didn't really necessarily know what i was going to do. When i majored in. Actually let me back up. I thought i was going to be a high school math teacher because my favorite subject and so. That's what i really wanted to. So i really like saying you know And so i ended up taking account and accounting clerk course as an elective in high school. Along with one of my very best friend's her parents were both accountants. Since i was like okay. Maybe i'll do this and let me see not really sure why i just decided i'm gonna say business. So he knew. I just decided you know what i'm going to go to college. I'm gonna major in accounting and It was like a great decision. I got a full scholarship to. I'm attending southern university in baton rouge louisiana and Just had great opportunities throughout and it worked out very well. I was able to actually graduate college. Even after interning for three summers i graduated in three and a half years so track fast track and i'm like not understanding. Why but he knew all along. Yeah and did you conceive of accounting as being Away that you were going to use gifts that god had given you or did you see it as a form of ministry. I mean what what was kind of your tie in in I guess back at that time. I don't know that. I saw you know what i'm reme- i often encouraged others on. I got a little job in the accounting lab. And so i had a competitive as and that i was able to help some of the upper class men and impress them. You know here okay. I won't really know that. I knew that god was going to use that. As a pivot to ensure that the operations of the ministry were going to function like they needed to be you know because again i think that a lot of times people especially in ministry you're called and ministry but you don't really understand the organization dynamics to keep your ministry safe. You know to be sure that again. There's of duty you know you're the pastor and the pastor's wives to money. Yeah those kinds of things and accounting degree really was beneficial in helping us to understand because my hus- county raise. Well you know it was just helpful. Just like okay god. This is really interesting how you did this. And it's come full circle to. What was he doing before. He was a pastor before he was asked herself. Let me tell you so. Let him tell the story is. I was going to give a twist league. We're high sweethearts. We've been together since nike. Okay that's one the love story but ultimately when we got to college. He was majoring in computer science. And so and he tells is that he noticed like some of the other guys where like you know like in this accounting girl and so he's like i'm taking my major so that's like no again. I'll things working together. Don't you know going. So county is law so when we graduated from college you know we were like okay. You know we're in love knows this puppy lover night.

The Power of Radical Self-Love
"Welcome sonia i thank you so much for having me you know i was so excited to have you be part of my podcast when your team reached out. Because i've been a fan of your book ready. And i follow you on social media and was so exciting to hear that we're talking now about your revised and expanded second edition along with the workbook. Bet you're gonna be. Is it in april in march march. Sixteen okay great. So why don't you tell me why you decided to revise and expand your second edition and how the workbook complements the initial book. Absolutely so first of all. Thanks so much for having me glad to be in conversation so my publisher approached. My publisher approached me to write the book. The very first time i wrote and then they came back and they were like a second addition and what really was useful in maybe be willing to entertain the idea. Was i knew that the very first edition was really about our individual journey with radical. self love. How do we use this concept of radical self love to transform how we feel in our own bodies how we feel about ourselves how we relate to ourselves based on a clear understanding of the messages we see received from the world and the piece that always matter to me was great now that we have dealt with this internal relationship. How do we use this framework to deal with how we deal with other bodies because that's the structural that's the systemic. That's not we begin to you know. Really tear down the walls of oppression. And so the second edition really felt like an opportunity to have that conversation. Now the challenge in a second edition is they do away with the first edition so the first edition which i thought was so necessary. Valuable in terms of giving folks practical fools about how to apply radical self love to their own lives. We were gonna lose some of that in creating the second edition

Channeling a spirit
"Welcome to kids myths and mysteries. So i'm your host kid crumb today in my month long. Look into all things around ghosts. I take a close look at channel. Lena spirit the practice of channeling a person's body being taken over by spirit for the purpose of communication has been around for a millennia. There are countless stories of shaman which doctors prophets and others who claimed to hear voices or received some supernatural knowledge from the spirit world. Chandler's also sometimes known as psychic mediums. Often use what are called spirit guys friendly spirits who give them knowledge and help them help others with the spiritual journey according to experts sonya. Roman and dwayne packer authors of to channel. How to connect with your guide. Channeling is a powerful means of spiritual unfoldment unconscious transformation as you channel you build a bridge to a higher rome loving caring purposeful collective higher consciousness that has been called god all that is the universe universal mine. Channeling involves consciously shifting your mind and mental space in order to achieve an expanded state of consciousness to achieve the expanded state of consciousness channels usually meditate trying to break free of worldly influences and tune into a higher consciousness. They may imagine themselves seeking out specific spirits of the dead. Or they may be. Contacted by unbidden by some unknown force. That wishes to communicate while most people channel to seek inner wisdom entire books have been written supposedly by ancient spirits. Channel through modern mediums and factor are hundreds of such books many of which can be found in new age. Sections of bookstores are libraries round. The world. the most famous american writer channel. Or was jane roberts who claim to channel an ancient and wise entity name set for her nineteen seventy-two bestseller. Seth speaks as well as several popular sequels. Roberts as seth dictated esoteric information to her husband about a soul the nature of consciousness spiritual truths higher planes of reality since the nineteen eighties. New age mystic jays. He night has claimed channel round also known as enlightened one thirty five thousand year old warrior spirit who described among other things being born on the continent of atlantis.

Thought another prominent chandler in the one thousand nine hundred nineteen ninety s was actress shirley maclaine who wrote a bestselling book and a popular television mini series on the subject. Channeling has waned in popularity in recent years so it is still practiced and it's widely accepted in a new age community channel. Information from different sources is often a dozen different spirits presumably dwelling in the same after world. Give a dozen different accounts if the spirits are truly imparting be important cosmic wisdom and universal truths you would expect different channels in different places and times to say the same things instead. Studies have shown that channel information changes with the times and tends to reflect the idea's popular in the culture at the time because there is no way to verify information and descriptions of different planes of existence the nature of the soul. And so on. There's no way to know what if any of the channel information is accurate but clearly much of it cannot be correct would help verify channel and as a real phenomenon would be to have accurate concrete and verifiable information revealed that only the spirit world would know for example. A person who truly channel einstein should be able to continue making important discoveries long after his death or a father who died unexpectedly and left his affairs. Disarray should be able to tell his wife and family through chandler were important. Documents are located to help and settle his estate.

Africa and museums: shaping the future; rethinking the past
"I just on your lawson. The founding director of the paloma in togo and andrew santo. Who's just written a book with twenty eight interviews with museum leaders across the world. I also speak to. Dan hicks about his book. The british museum's about the bronzes and for our work the week christopher repeal of the national gallery in london talks about san mateo painting of copernicus. That's coming to the national for an exhibition next year before that a reminder that you can sign up for the art newspapers free daily newsletter for all the latest stories goes to the art newspaper dot com and the link is at the top right of the page. And while you're there you can also sign up for a range of other newsletters including the book club and the art market. I now a new book by the writer and cultural strategy advisor andhra santo features twenty eight conversations with directors of museums and other institutions oldham during the covid nineteen pandemic the future of the museum. Twenty eight dialogues. Include voices from across the world attempting to define museums and the challenges and opportunities ahead of them now and in the coming days among them. Direct is of african museums including sonia lawson the director of the paladin loma in togo in west africa. Andress and sonia join me to discuss the role of museums today and look at how sonya's togalese institution reflects a new coq drew dynamism on the african continent andress. I wanted to begin by asking you. This book was written on zoom. Just as we are now essentially so you talked to twenty eight museum or cultural institution directors about what they were doing. It happened to be done in the covy deer as it were but was it. Germinating is an idea for a much longer period this spring. I wrote an article in art. Net news actually wrote it over easter weekend. So i remember did very well I guess that was early april. I can't remember the exact dates and it was an article about reopening museums. And it just hit a nerve. It really got a lot of people talking at the time. And i heard from dozens and dozens of museum directors and just became part of illogic conversation. And that's when we really realized that this is the moment because it gave us an editorial frame because it it really was a moment that made us ask what is the future about. Still trying to figure it out. I think there's no doubt in all of our minds that this is one of those years in the calendar that will be a turning point. A historical marker where new phase is beginning persona. I think this phase is the one that started in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine just ended. Now we have a new face. So what does that mean for museums. Once i figured out that this would be a book not just of conversations with museum. Directors conversations about the future not necessarily revisiting. Why museums have been great in the past of which many reasons to talk about that too but to really have a forward-looking and that is what led to choices like this extraordinary new institution in togo. Which i think is such a taste of where museums or cultural institutions or cultural centers are headed All around the world so so in a way this moment. This covert moment crystallized. How such a book could come about and how we would choose directors to be in it before we speak specifically about sons institution. I wanted to ask you about a phrase that you use in the to the book where you talk about how. The paradigm smashing experimentation in museums and cultural institutions is happening in effectively in the global south so in africa in asia in latin america. Can you expand on that a bit now. Because what do you think lies behind that. Well first of all i. That's not to say it's not happening elsewhere. And i think the book provides lots of examples of how people are thinking you in original ways about museums all around the world. But i think that there are perhaps two main reasons. Why so many of these truly interesting. And i would say inspiring. Examples of new practices are often happening in the global. South one is that many of these institutions are brand new. So it's you can speak to this. They have an opportunity to really design for the now and for the future. They're not dealing with a legacy infrastructure. They're not trying to retrofit something. That was already there and tried to adapt it to the future.

WTA Year End Awards for 2020
"Everyone john worth. I'm hearing sports. Illustrated tennis podcast. Jamie joins me for a grab bag topics. We are midway through the final so hard to make any definitive conclusions there but we can talk about the the back of played so far. We'll talk about twenty twenty one tennis and what the picture is looking like. It's slowly coming into focus but still considerably Blurry and uncertain. We'll talk w. t. awards. There are no more women's tennis events on the calendar. But we can start distributing some honors and just sort of a catchall of tennis topics as we want to say to the finish. But we're not exactly sprinting. Either a stranger that is Finishing under strained conditions and we talk about sort of where the sport is here in mid november twenty twenty so jamie welcome. it's it's been a while. how are you. i'm good. i agree with you. It's a weird year. And i feel like we've been talking a lot about the atp and obviously the atp finals are happening. So i am happy to start by out talking about the wpa and some of these awards all right. let's go. let's let's that. I that's a good idea let's go to That'd be the w. t. a. Does not unlike the wto does not have a finals or twenty twenty. Unfortunately that's An offshoot of having events in china where international sporting events were cancelled months ago. So the vendor playing as we speak in london and there is no there is no comparable women's event. So let's say yeah let's do that. Let's start with the women season over. Why don't we hand out some awards. We genda pivot to london. Mvp award is always a bit strange. But if we're going to give player of the year honors. I feel like the player has to have won a major. Do you agree with that. Yes definitely agree with that. But this year of course We had one less. And i think that i would also classify the majors in two creek corona and post corona. I would almost give a little bit more weight or just feel like there's more discussion for all the majors. That are not the train open you know. Of course that was when all was normal and before all this happened But i know you. You went to your pace in your mailbox but are you. Who's your pick. i think it. It sounds sounds a little. I think you've got to say that the so you can is your twenty twenty. Mvp she won a major and got to the final of another If we play this game sometime if your life depended on a player Would she be your pick and the answer is is probably not and do i think in a head to head match. There are players who are superior. If if she and i o miyasaka played ten times i would think naomi osaka with the majority of those matches. But yeah in this straight year. But i think you're right. There was no wimbledon. There there was a us open but it did not feature you know six top ten players including ash barty the number one player including simona halep included the defending champion and that was That was one sock than we had. The french open which also did not feature ash party. Who is the defending champion. It did not feature. Naomi osaka the australian open before corona had the most flush field. So you can in one that and she reached the final of the french open so she is the only player to have won a major and got into the final of another and in this stranger. It's probably appropriate. We have a strange choice but sonya sofia kenyon is my Twenty twenty mvp will by you. I hear you on that. And i think those are all good points. I in you know so that we aren't agreeing here on all of these under some Interest to this conversation. I'm going to take a different pic. i'm gonna go with naomi osaka and i think that In speaking about mvp sort of in the Like a of a lot of awards that are giving out at this time of the year including essays own award sportsperson of the year. It's not just about what's happening on the court. It's just not about results per se about other things that This player has done. So i think that For me. I think niamey osaka. Of course like you said kennan if you're just talking about reaching a final winning final In a major. She's done that but osaka has not only one. But also use her platform and she's spoken up and she's gone beyond the court and i think that you know if we're talking if you're looking at that list of choices here And you check the box with a major win in for me. You check the box with all the other outside stuff off the court that she's done so that's my pick.
Miss Information: A Trivia Podcast
A Moment-a for the Placenta (with Sonya Kouthouridis)
"We've already immediately alienated fifty percent or listeners. And that's fine. Maybe not. I mean we have met a lot of our listeners in various contexts and they are weirdly mostly men and no matter what we talk about so true. I take back. That's what frankly. I feel like men need to learn more about. Oh women's bodies exactly whether they're interested in women's bodies are not so sonya you're providing a service today and we're very. I absolutely agree. I really hope we didn't have a. I do think it's a really interesting topic and just something tera. It's good to know in general exactly. I totally agree. So sonia whenever you are ready please take us into the lower abdominal region of a female presenting body. Keep going thank you. So i'm going to start off by giving a really brief overview of human reproduction. I think it will be a good way to kind of start us out for people that aren't as familiar with us so human reproduction is defined as any form of sexual reproduction resulting in the fertilization of a woman's ag also known as an ovum by a man's sperm. Now the ovum is normally stored in the ovaries and it is released from the ovary will travel and meet the sperm in the philippian tube. So sperm actually have a longer distance to travel to make this trip. But it's fine because they're much better swimmers so exiled so these two single cells combine and may create a single cell called zydeco. And these zygote still contain chromosomes from each parent. Half half Do either of you know how many chromosomes are in chicago. Oh really do you remember this. Twenty twenty. Three's ooh three twenty as good job yes. Gonzaga contains twenty three chromosomes from each parent. And this basically gives the zygote the network material from each parent so whether you have blue eyes. Green is calling your skin. You know certain habits even now this is going to come from the generic material of your parents when he three and me. Yeah that's what i immediately thought of. Yeah there we go exactly so they'll code your jeans. I'm pretty sure they ask you whether or not you. You wanna release your genome data for science. I think that's how it works so What happens in the first twenty four hours after fertilization. This single cells i go. It'll rapidly. divide so it'll split in half and you'll end up with two cells and then those will each split again you'll end up with four eight sixteen and they'll just keep dividing until you end up with this tiny little cell mass that's about zero point two millimeters in diameter. I know it's metric just to give you an idea it's about the size of medium coarse grain of sand. So that's very tight. Yeah yeah so. This all happens at by around day for you. Have this tiny grain of sand. This selma's will then hollow to form something called a blastocyst. It is around fluid-filled. Shell with a cell mass. That looks as if it's squished. Onto the inside of the inner cell wall so the inner cell mass will eventually four embryo and then the fetus whereas the outer shell of the blastocyst is composed of trotha blast cells and that will eventually compose the placenta. Okay have their nice. Yeah so you have these two different cell types that give rise to do two different parts of the embryo in the placenta. So like i said the blastocyst the outer shell is composed of a cell type called trophoblast cells and these we are going to come back to them later. They are super important but this cell type basically allows the this blastocyst to embed itself into the woman's uterus. Okay yeah so so. They tend to have a little bit more invasive properties. So they will. It sounds a little aggressive but it is essentially. What happens. it'll invade into the mothers tissue and that's how it allows itself to grow and feed off the nutrients of mother

How to Make This Winter Not Totally Suck.
"Hi Sober sellers. It's Lynn. Oh, my goodness one more week when this comes out, I will be moving in one more week. So yeah, I'm really excited had some hiccups along the way I don't know if you all remember living in an apartment buildings. That's where I'm moving from and moving to I'm not buying a house quite yet in my little village in evidently something happened to me every time I move and this time it was kind of a big one I was moving into this brand new building with four stories although I'm GonNa live on the second floor, right above the shops with. Florida ceiling windows kind of like a loft and wouldn't you know that Kovin interruptus happened? Yeah. So the elevator people can't put the elevator in and this is quite a complex project from what I understand even in twenty twenty, they are I don't know six months behind as what I'm told, and now I have to move into a temporary residence which I'm now wrapping my brain around but it's one bedroom instead of two bedrooms. So I have to downsize a little bit more than I thought I was going to and I might be in the. Apartment for about three months. So there you go Bobbin we've in our way through two thousand, twenty I'm still so very excited. So after some contemplation and some you know. Anger and disappointment whereas my feeling wheel and some other things I got through it and decided to make the best of it and that's what I'm doing. Now, of course, there's lots of stuff in between all there. So you know I have to pull out my tools from my buffer zone just like you do. which brings me to today's topic in the spirit of all of us who have moved before. Yeah. I'm expending a lot of energy right now and I'm excited and I'm busy and I'm forgetting stuff. So I'm trying to keep the next few weeks of podcast episodes brief or if I don't win that battle with myself, which is very difficult to keep things brief I'm going to choose things that tickle me and that I wanNA. Share you and I came across one of those just this week by a writer who writes a lot for the Atlantic she was on staff there and I haven't really followed her I'm not a writer follower type but I know I've read a bunch of her stuff. Her name is Seagal Samuel and the article I'm going to read you she wrote for Vox and you gotTA. Love the title how to make this winter not totally suck. According to psychologists. Many of us are throwing her arms up in the air and still going what the heck is going on here. in the United. States. Election will be shortly upon us and were quite uncertain about what that's going to bring. Nobody really knows t leave readers all over the place but crazy stuff keeps happening day by day. So we'll just see ultimately the goal for those of you listening as you well know for me is to share with you how are we going to cope with all this? Tabei Day week by week sometimes minute by minute and second by second. So. That's why I love this article. And I thought today. y'All might forgive me if I kinda just read it to you. You know I can't help myself from jumping in and give him my own little take on things which Typically you'll hear me change my tone of voice or Interject Lynn here my plan is that you'll actually be able to decipher that. And enjoy the little nuggets of wisdom that is Samuel has shared with us. Again the article is shared on Vox V. O. X. DOT COM. and. The author is Seagal I hopeful that I'm pronouncing that right but you know there's a fifty fifty chance of everything last name Samuel and it was published on October fourteenth twenty twenty. She begins I'm GonNa go out on a limb and say, you're probably dreading this winter. We know it's going to be harder to socialize outdoors as the weather gets colder. We also know there's probably going to be a surge. Yeah. In New Cova. Nineteen infections many of us are feeling anxious about how we're going to make it through. The lonely bleak months ahead I see a lot of people trying to cope with this anxiety by drumming up one off solutions y'all are going to love this. By a fire pit better yet by a whole house or like I'm doing move. Those may be perfectly fine ideas as far as they go but I'd like to suggest a more effective way to think about reducing your suffering an increasing your happiness. This winter studies show that anything we can do to direct our attention off of ourselves and onto other people or other things is usually productive and makes us happier. Said Sonya Lia- by Mirsky, a psychology professor at the University of California, Riverside and author of the how of happiness a scientific approach to getting the life you want. She goes on to say a lot of life's problems are caused by too much self-focused and self absorption, and we often focus too much on the negatives about
