This woman is bold, courageous, and kind! With 27 years of experience as a therapist, Judith has a wise and fascinating perspective on what does (or doesn't) make the therapy experience useful for the healing process. Perhaps more insight-revealing than any training she's undergone, she also has many years of experience with some of the toughest challenges life presents to humans. On top of it all, she has an EXCELLENT sense of humor. 😎 Enjoy this episode for a taste of some fine Dutch feminine wisdom! 😍 Judith Puttiger works as a mental health contextual therapist in The Netherlands. In her own practice, she works with clients through a combination of individual and group therapy, drawing on a variety of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), (family) constellation work, parts work (Internal Family Systems), and Compassionate Inquiry (CI). She doesn't work with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). In Judith's eyes, therapy is not about what's wrong with you, but what happened to you and how it impacted you. There is nothing wrong with you, you don't need to be fixed. ❤️‍🔥 Judith is a mother of two sons, married, and a dog owner. She is a music lover, plays drums and likes to go to festivals to watch obscure bands. 🥳 You can learn more about her and her therapy practice at https://www.opstellers.nl/ (and use google translate if you don't speak Dutch 😉) You can learn more about me and my coaching practice at https://shinefreely.com/

“What happens if we walk through the world and dare to care about things?” A beautiful question from Ross Sullivan, Managing Director of the Institute for a Sustainable Future, a not-for-profit organization working to improve social and environmental ecological health in service of the collective transition towards more caring and positive futures. On this podcast episode, we had a thought-provoking and well-rounded chat about psychedelics, and I was inspired to hear someone like Ross contemplating such important questions. Here’s a quick snapshot of what we covered: • How psychedelics create experiences of connection • The soul-search for rites of passage as a man in today’s world • Psychedelics as a possible antidote to diseases of despair and loneliness • Power imbalance in systems & individuals • Potential of psychedelics to play a sacred role in social & environmental change • Building psychedelic communities and the realms of social change • Optimism around shifting stigmas, laws, and regulations And some wonderfully thought-provoking questions to chew on, like: • How can we go beyond biomedicalization and hold sacred medicines together as a community? • How do we shift what we value to sacredness and reverence for life? • How do we make human care economically valuable? • How do we move at the speed of trust? Please enjoy 🙏 and #shinefreely ✨ Ross is a holistic health professional turned designer and builder of systems for social change. The throughline of his interests has to do with ways of improving the health and development of individuals and society, with a virtuous relationship between the two as a goal. To this end he has involved himself in various projects within the emerging psychedelic therapeutics market over the last several years. Here, Ross is motivated by the belief that psychedelic therapies can catalyze systems change by reconnecting individuals, communities, and our environments, affording us the courage and wisdom to restructure our social institutions in a way that supports the sacredness of all life.

Spiritual journeys, psychedelics, & shamanism! All the fun topics here in this conversation with one of my new friends, Brian Bistolfo. 😎 Brian is a family man based in Davis, CA who thinks there's nothing more practical than spirituality. His definition of spirituality focuses on where we choose to place our attention, how we manage the energy that flows through us, and what the best rules to live by might be if we want to cultivate joy, Self-expression, peace, and a courageous exploration of who we are. He studies (and loves) shamanic traditions, Buddhist practices, and Nature, works at the intersection of software and ethics, is a master of many pointless skills, and despite loving tennis doesn't hate pickleball at all.

This here is my buddy Aaron Aslin. On this episode, we exchanged personal reflections on our experiences with self-discovery, including topics like: non-judgment and self-love 😍 states of heaven and hell 😇 forgiveness 😶‍🌫️ thoughts, feelings & behaviors 🥳 the point of life 🥰 building the habit of being present ✨ curiosity ✌️ noticing our body 👁️ existing in the present moment while being attuned to others’ needs ❤️‍🔥 Lastly, Aaron shared some free marketing advice for my coaching business that won’t compromise my authenticity. 😎 Aaron moved to the Driftless area from the West Coast in 2019, with what he thought were helpful "big city and big company" ideas. He says he was quickly humbled to experience first-hand how much stronger and more thriving small, local and organic systems are than big bureaucracies. This set him down a curious path, questioning all he'd been taught about living a good life. Today, Aaron is exploring the philosophies for living a good life across all of life's dimensions. He is married to someone he considers the most beautiful human in the world, has two sons, and is grateful for all the people that have contributed to who he is today. He is a marketing professional by training, a music DJ for fun, and a philosopher by necessity. He's open anytime at [email protected] or on Facebook.

Nothing is more fun than nerding out with people who are way smarter than you on topics you know very little about! 😊 My kind friend & brilliant AI Scientist, Sean Grullon, took time to explain so many interesting things about AI, ChatGPT, Midjourney, and more. Here are a few things we covered: How AI is currently being used in healthcare ChatGPT and reason What present moment awareness and authenticity has to do with AI AI impacts on education WTF a function approximator is How AI neural networks function Artificial general intelligence & consciousness Transparency and trust in AI AI Ethics and inspiring examples like Lex Fridman and Demis Hassabis AI and innovation GPT 3 & 4! How AI image generators like Midjourney are similar and different to ChatGPT The process of diffusion The connection between the physical world and beauty 😍 Sean is a passionate scientist who was always curious about how the world works. That child-like curiosity led Sean to a physics PhD in Wisconsin where he studied the connections between the very small (Particle Physics) and the very big (Astronomy). He contributed to an experiment at the South Pole called the IceCube Neutrino Observatory to help make those connections. His curiosity took him in a new direction - the exploding field of Artificial Intelligence - where he developed a passion not only for the new emerging ideas, but also in applying it to improve the practice of healthcare and patient quality of life. Sean is currently the Lead Artificial Intelligence Scientist at Proscia, a startup seeking to transform the practice of pathology and cancer diagnosis through a digital platform and AI-driven tools.
