Buddha byte episode:

Show Notes coming soon.

Optimization can be playful, fun and life affirming, but what happens when it goes too far? In this shorter BuddhaByte we discuss the culture of optimization, when it’s healthy and its dark side. We discuss Huberman husbands, Goop’s vagina candle, almond mum’s, bio hacking, male vs female wellness and other gems. Article mentioned: Huberman husbands and their long suffering wives Article mentioned: Emma Brockes writes for the Guardian Peter Attia Outlive Conspirituality podcast

Shame! What gives? Why do we put up with such a crappy way of being related to and relating to ourselves? Alex and T talk about the animal roots and physiology of shame, the effects of it on our personality, and the different "flavors" of shame. Shame contributes to bullying as well as victim-hood, and can show up in all areas of our lives from body image to social, familial, and even spiritual. The discussion turns to learning to identify shame and the difference between shame, guilt, and remorse. Next it turns to "Shame-proofing" our lives, living in a more free and joyous way . . . moving beyond the effects of "crippling shame". A couple more links coming soon! Oscar Wilde quote

“It’s just a story”Anyone who has entered into new age and Buddhist spiritual traditions has heard this, and while it certainly holds pieces of the truth, this stance can often result in us feeling disenfranchised and dismissed, as opposed to truly disidentified and self actualized.  “You have to be somebody before you can be nobody” -  Jack Engler, Buddhist psychotherapist PHD In this podcast we set the record straight on when and how our stories matter and conversely,  when we need to lighten up around our stories and even let them go.  As well as deep and meaningful transformative conversations, expect to hear about Alex's 5th birthday and getting a Teddy Ruxpin toy, how she lied to her teacher that she had been born in Disneyland and how to T wanted to be Evel Knievel.

Therapy speak has entered into popular culture in a big way, accompanied with complex psychological narratives people are using to express themselves and to make sense of the world around them. As with most complex ideas once they enter the mainstream the original context is often lost and the meaning diminished. Whilst learning this language and these narratives have been helpful to many there is now a darker side, and we are seeing these terms misused to attack others and to shutdown connection. In this podcast ep we discuss how this is taking shape in popular culture, and how to best use this new information to create connection and to grow instead of its opposite.  Article about therapy-speak by Rebecca Fishbein Jonah Hill texts debate Work with us!
