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.

SHOW #83! Season 3, Episode 14: Welcome to the disSOLViNG fear podcast!
IN THIS EPISODE, I talk with Dr. Joan Peters: a professor emerita from California State University. She recently wrote a memoir about her experience with talk therapy, and the benefits of psychoanalysis (analyzing how our childhood experiences and subconscious beliefs end up impacting our adult behavior and decisions).
This episode isn't about research and academics! It's just two "gals" talking about therapy, and one of them (Dr. Peters) just happens to be a professor with a PhD! We chat about Joan's personal experience with therapy and the many ways that psychoanalysis helped her, especially when she was in her twenties. Therapy sessions completely eliminated her recurring nightmares!
Joan's stories about her therapy journey are electric and enlightening! We take a deep dive into the benefits of therapy, and how psychoanalysis helped her make sense of (and dissolve) old childhood fears.
Share this episode with anyone in your life who is considering therapy, having sleep issues, or trying to process a past experience or trauma.

Below are links to the books and resources we mention in this episode. Enjoy!

AMAZING THERAPY RESOURCES
Therapy can help so many of us shed light on our subconscious beliefs from childhood, and the emotions and perspectives that we carry around with us, as a result of our past experiences.
As the famous Swiss psychotherapist Carl Jung said: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

IN THIS EPISODE, I lead you through a Money Magnet Meditation for Lucky Living & Generosity! The meditation starts four minutes (4:00) into the episode, if you'd like to skip the intro.
Do not listen to this episode while driving a car or even walking around. I recommend lying in bed or sitting in a chair during this meditation. If you're busy running around at the moment, here's a link to a song full of positive affirmations for you to enjoy anytime. It's called "Good Morning" by Qveen Herby, and it's full of reminders that:
You are a badass!
You are perfect.
You are powerful!
You are strong.
You are loving.
You are generous.
You are abundant!
Your actions impact how you feel.
Your thoughts determine how you feel.
Negative thoughts are just a leftover program that you can disSOLVE in order to evolve!
You can always stay grateful for what you have AND ready for more!
Challenges are normal, especially when you are trying new things and leveling up.
Your vibe is a magnet, attracting what you desire. You can keep your vibe high with music, meditations, affirmations, and practices like THIS meditation right here on the disSOLViNG fear podcast. Enjoy the episode!
The meditation in this episode is based on the work of Marisa Peer. You can save this episode and listen to it as much as you'd like! I recommend listening to this meditation for 30 days in a row, to wire in new, positive beliefs about wealth and abundance.
Wishing you LOTS of luck, now and in the future!

We talk about being adaptable in these modern times we live in. We also talk about being entrepreneurial and finding joy in life's challenges, as the world changes and as we evolve and grow personally.
Tune into stories about how Jurian discovered yoga, and the importance of retreats, "staycations" and new hobbies and routines! We chat about ways to stay flexible (versus stuck) and cultivate a growth mindset (versus a stuck, fixed outlook on life).
When it comes to getting comfortable with discomfort, change, and innovation, Jurian is an expert. She shares stories about starting projects from scratch even when they were new and messy, and how eventually our new pursuits become second nature after a while!

SHOW #76! Season 3, Episode 7: Welcome to the disSOLViNG fear podcast!
IN THIS EPISODE, I talk about the perks of being single!
I also discuss the benefits of shedding old habits and beliefs that aren't serving you, whether you're in a relationship or not. Let GO to GROW.
I love "LOVE" - - - In fact, the only thing I love MORE than watching two people in love, walking around holding hands and enjoying each other is: watching someone leave an unhealthy relationship. So, YES, I do encourage the single life in this episode, especially for anyone who wants to leave an unhealthy relationship. The single life also gives you extra time for friends, family, and working on goals (fitness goals, career goals, etc).
I also talk about love as MORE than just a romantic feeling between two people, but as an inspirational energy that motivates us ALL to do the things that make our hearts happy!
Share this episode with anyone in your life who is single and loving it, single and over it, or anyone who is thinking about leaving a bad relationship and becoming single. I even talk a little about Chinese Astrology, so here's a link to that NBC News Article.

In case you're curious, I am definitely single and looking for love:) Maybe I'll find "the one" before the next Valentine's Day rolls around! I certainly think we can all be happy regardless of our relationship status. I highly encourage it! Stay grateful for what you have and ready for more.
