Today, I talk to Dr. Gabor Maté. A celebrated speaker and bestselling author, Dr. Gabor Maté is highly sought after for his expertise on a range of topics, such as addiction, stress, and childhood development. Dr. Maté has written several bestselling books, including the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction; When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress; and Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder. He is also the co-author of Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers. His works have been published internationally in more than thirty languages. Dr. Maté generously shares his deep understanding of childhood trauma, vulnerability, grief, and emotional distress. He explains what real trauma is and how time doesn’t necessarily lead to healing, how vulnerability is ingrained in us since we are young and the importance of these formative years to mold our emotional health, and the societal expectations we always try to meet but have never truly given us real fulfillment. We also exchange thoughts on dealing with grief, how we struggle to identify with the people we look up to, and how childhood experience varies for every child even when they are raised in a similar environment. Trauma is a wound that has not fully healed which can be triggered at any point in our life so it matters that we are able to find a common ground and stay firm in what can give us healing, emotional stability, and happiness. What We Discuss: 00:00:00 Intro 00:03:12 How do you define trauma? 00:06:32 How is healing defined? 00:08:45 Time itself does not heal emotional wounds 00:11:38 We are all born vulnerable 00:13:55 The inherent expectations we all have 00:20:00 The societal standards we try to live up to  00:25:15 It’s not possible to love kids too much 00:29:35 Grief is essential for life 00:32:19 When the past dominates the present reactions 00:35:16 There is no healthy identification 00:42:11 Why are we set on things staying the same 00:44:38 No two children have the same childhood 00:50:19 The difference between loneliness and being alone 00:53:54 How do you see human nature? 01:02:24 Suffering has to be acknowledged 01:06:27 Getting closure and start moving on 01:10:04 Spirituality becomes commoditized 01:15:56 Dr. Maté on Final Five: Episode Resources Gabor Maté | Website Gabor Maté | Instagram Gabor Maté | Twitter Gabor Maté | Books The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture Do you want to meditate daily with me?

I start by talking about the consequences of breaking our boundaries, especially with the boundaries we had for our old self, how we should start becoming aware of them and build up new ones, and then start sharing these boundaries to our partner to let them understand where we stand.

His quest is to help move humanity to a more holistic, integrated education system that caters for the whole being.    Vishen, joining us again for another soulful conversation, strongly believes that compassion is what gives us real and genuine happiness. As he explains why compassion is the foundation to achieving all things positive in our life, how self compassion reinforces self love which leads to self care, and the disciplines we must practice so we can attain genuine happiness. We also dive into the definition of sadness, changing our perspective to turn sadness into love and compassion, and the importance of having a vision of the future, of having a clear idea of the path you want to make and take. No matter how far and long our life goals may be, self compassion and being compassionate towards others will eventually lead to having a peaceful, content, and well-meaning life.   What We Discuss: 00:00:00 Intro 00:03:31 What was your first meditation experience? 00:06:53 How do you use meditation in your life? 00:13:18 Compassion is something you do for yourself 00:18:48 When did we lose compassion? 00:22:03 Compassion as a technique and a quality of being  00:24:08 What is happiness? 00:28:40 Channeling sadness into love and compassion 00:29:53 How do you stop sadness from turning into guilt? 00:33:45 How to avoid having narcissistic tendencies 00:35:34 Have a vision for the future 00:42:21 Don’t get held back by old things 00:47:46 What defines a good meditation? 00:50:02 Testing the parameters of your destiny Episode Resources Vishen Lakhiani | Website Vishen Lakhiani | Facebook Vishen Lakhiani | Twitter Vishen Lakhiani | Instagram Vishen Lakhiani | YouTube Vishen Lakhiani | LinkedIn Vishen Lakhiani | Books The Mindvalley Podcast Do you want to meditate daily with me?

Today, I’m going to share with you my first ever public interview with my friend Tom Bilyeu of the Impact Theory podcast. It is one of my favorite conversations because we talk about the power self awareness has in influencing your relationships with others especially with the people close to you and at work.  I also talk about breaking free from the norm, from what society expects from us, and from the limits we have set for ourselves. Once we become self aware, we can then start asking questions that need honest answers and we can often get these answers from people we look up to and from our experiences. And as the level of self awareness increases, we make better decisions and eventually, enjoy positive results.

Today, I talk to Alex Cooper. Alex is the creator, host, and executive producer of the hugely successful podcast and brand Call Her Daddy, which amasses millions of listeners per episode and frequently tops Podcast charts. In 2018, Alex began to blaze a path through the podcasting medium that had never before existed: a space where women were encouraged, empowered, and emboldened to share their unapologetic stories and truths. Now one of the most listened to female podcasters in the world, Alex continues to break all boundaries by shattering stigmas and stomping on misogyny, all while keeping mental health and personal empowerment at the forefront. Her thought-provoking conversations are meticulously designed to explore wide-ranging topics such as life experiences, culture, health, relationships, and more, all through her lens of comedy and extreme candor. To the millions of devoted gen-z and millennial listeners (“The Daddy Gang”) the Call Her Daddy brand represents a new set of values and standards, with many quotes and phrases permeating pop-culture vernacular. In addition, the Boston-bred entrepreneur has a successful merchandise line, as well as several exciting business endeavors in the pipeline.    Alex bravely shares how she suffered through constant bullying in her younger years and the trauma she still carries because of it, the pain of feeling uncomfortable with your body, and how creating content has helped her find calmness, peace, and purpose. We talk about how gender equality remains a delicate subject, how women can help other women through various programs and campaigns, and how self respect is one of the things we owe to ourselves.  We also discuss how social media can heavily influence our thoughts and actions, how to set boundaries with it and for yourself, and why finding the right partner plays a big role in our success. Throughout the conversation, we learn that despite the many challenges we’ve faced and will face in the future, there’s no other way but to keep moving forward. Having the will to do so will help mold us to become a better version of ourselves.   What We Discuss: 00:00:00 Intro 00:04:56 What was your favorite thing about Italy? 00:06:33 “I turned to making content as an escape.” 00:18:01 We all go through similar experiences 00:20:07 “I’m the same person…” 00:25:54 The trauma of being bullied 00:32:04 We are not equal to men? 00:38:18 You can be mindful and determined 00:43:32 What is your relationship with respect? 00:55:20 Taking the show to a different level 01:00:23 It’s okay if you don’t know things 01:05:46 Dealing with hate comments 01:12:34 When people assume you’re a bad friend 01:23:54 Respecting the privacy of your partner 01:30:55 What are you looking for in a partner? 01:36:45 The Many Sides Of You 01:42:25 Alex on Fast Five Episode Resources Alex Cooper | Instagram Alex Cooper | Twitter Call Her Daddy Do you want to meditate daily with me?

Today, I am bringing something new to the table. With my good friend, Lewis Howes of The School of Greatness podcast, we’ve decided to join our heads together to talk about conversations that are uncomfortable, pressing on taboo topics, a bit thought provoking, and sometimes awkward to discuss openly. This is a space where we try to answer questions many of us may have thought of but didn’t have the opportunity to freely seek for answers. So, welcome to the first episode of the Awkward Therapy Conversations. Lewis and I address the doubts surrounding our spirituality and becoming successful. Can we aspire to be wealthy and be spiritual at the same time? Do we have to give up success and wealth to deepen our spiritual intention? Let’s try to evaluate our relationship with money, how to stay humble throughout this journey, why success built on purpose is more fulfilling than just accumulating wealth.  Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro 00:04:21 Can you aspire to be wealthy and be spiritual at the same time? 00:06:15 Should we admire people who are wealthy? 00:10:20 Influential people with deep spiritual intention 00:20:19 How have you stayed humble in success? 00:31:55 Purpose is the only thing that keeps giving to you 00:39:00 Stories of success 00:43:46 What is your daily spiritual practice? 00:47:28 The biggest thing we struggle with 00:53:41 Money comes to you when you’re ready for it  00:58:05 Let’s evaluate our relationship with money Like this show?
