SHOW #92: Welcome to the disSOLViNG fear podcast!

Season 3, Episode 23 - Welcome to the podcast, where fear doesn't run the show, YOU DO!

Today I’m talking to poet and writer Aaron Poochigian about his experience with "forest bathing" and Shinrin-Yoku meditation in Central Park in NYC. We also talk about:

- exploring Central Park

- the therapeutic power of nature

- using the 5 senses to feel grounded

- the Japanese roots of forest bathing

- how our struggles become our strengths

- Central Park's hidden past and main attractions

You can go out into your neighborhood, backyard, or YOUR local park and practice "forest bathing" using your five senses!

You don't need to go to a huge forest to relax, and you don' t need to go to NYC to appreciate Aaron's new book: Four Walks in Central Park: A Poetic Guide to the Park.

The book transports you to Central Park and helps you feel like you're right there with him, walking through nature from the comfort of your couch.

You can find Aaron Poochigian and his book at:

SHOW #91: Welcome to the disSOLViNG fear podcast!

Season 3, Episode 22 - The mission HERE is a world where fear doesn't run the show, YOU DO!

In this episode, author and business coach Kate Lowry and I talk about easy ways to handle fear-based leaders (and manipulative, controlling and difficult people) in any situation you might find yourself in.

Fear-based leaders (and narcissists) are all over the place, but do not let them break you down! Kate tells us how to spot them and navigate their antics in our personal and professional lives.

We chat about:

- How to identify fear-based leaders

- Understanding them

- Strategies for handling destructive people

- When adults abuse the parent-child power dynamic

- Why immature people are actually very predictable

- Narcissists

- People pleasing as a trauma response

You can find Kate Lowry's amazing work, and her new book at https://www.katelowry.com/

Take the quiz and see if you are dealing with a fear-based leader in your personal or professional life!
