About the Book

HOW TO BE OLD shows readers that while you can’t control everything, what you can control is the way you think about your age and the creative ways you respond to the changes in your mind and body as they happen. 

Rather than trying to meet standards of youth and beauty as a measure of successful aging,
Slater promotes a more inclusive and empowering standard to judge our older selves by.
A true icon and trendsetter in more ways than one, Slater will inspire readers to reimagine
what’s possible with the tales of her bold, fashionable, and rebellious journey in HOW TO BE
OLD.

Podcast Episode Summary

Mindfulness Transforms Michael's Life

Michael experienced a life-changing event that led him to a mindfulness practice. He initially viewed mindfulness as a hippie dippy practice, but after a health scare and a full recovery, he learned about the benefits of mindfulness from his mentor. Michael's mentor taught him that everything is neutral until labeled by the individual, a concept that helped Michael reclaim his life and identity after their health scare.

Michael's Mindfulness Journey

Michael shared his personal journey of discovering mindfulness, particularly through his experiences following a serious accident. He rejected the binary concept of labeling a day as good or bad and emphasized the importance of moments. He explained that he began practicing box breathing, a technique he learned from the Navy Seals, to manage overwhelming feelings and stress, particularly while in the hospital. He also expressed his desire to return home, where he found comfort and familiarity.

Michael's Mindfulness Journey and Sharing

Michael shared his personal journey with mindfulness, starting from his early practice in 2001 to his decision to share his experiences during the pandemic. He explained how his mindfulness practice helped him manage stress and alter his relationships with others and himself. Initially, he kept his practice private while in the corporate world, but as he transitioned into full-time mindfulness practice in 2014, he began to share it more openly, including in blog posts. His goal was to help others through mindfulness during challenging times, such as the pandemic.

Mindfulness and Reflection in Challenging Times

Michael and Liz discussed the need for mindfulness and reflection during challenging times, such as the Covid pandemic. Michael shared his concept of the "ultimate barista" (MUG - Mother Earth, Universe or God) as a metaphor for being more mindful in daily life, and suggested short, frequent mindfulness practices as a practical way to incorporate mindfulness into busy schedules. He also mentioned leading public meditations based on this approach.

Mindfulness Practices and Personal Journey

Michael shared his personal journey of using mindfulness practices, especially through challenging times such as a bike accident and the pandemic. He expressed his commitment to helping others access mindfulness in a secular and relatable way, especially those who may not have time for traditional practices. Liz agreed, noting that Michael's experiences seemed to prepare him for sharing his insights with others. Michael also mentioned his intention to offer various mindfulness practices, such as silent retreats online, to help people build a practice over time. He stressed the importance of taking small, consistent steps towards mindfulness, rather than seeking quick fixes.

Mindful Ripples: Small Actions, Big Impact

Michael shared his personal experience of being mindful and the concept of making small ripples leading to big waves. He emphasized that we are all energy and have the power to choose the kind of energy we bring into the world. Liz asked for an explanation and Michael explained how small actions can have a ripple effect and how we need to be mindful of the kind of ripple we put into the world. The conversation suggested the importance of being thoughtful about the impact of our actions.

Meditation and Mindfulness for Open Conversations

Michael discussed the benefits of practicing meditation and mindfulness, emphasizing its ability to improve focus and expand awareness. He highlighted the practice of open awareness, which involves noticing sensations in the body and the soundscape, and considering other perspectives. Michael suggested that mindfulness could help overcome divisiveness by promoting open conversations and the consideration of different viewpoints. Liz expressed agreement with Michael's points.

Surfing Life's Waves: Mindfulness and Balance

Michael shared his analogy of life being like surfing on waves, emphasizing the need for equanimity to maintain balance and make micro adjustments. He clarified that mindfulness is not just about relaxation, but about finding a sweet spot between hyperarousal and hypoarousal to better navigate life's challenges. Liz agreed with Michael's comparison, noting that being present in the moment is empowering.

Mindfulness Practice and Emotional Regulation

Michael and Liz discussed the challenges and benefits of practicing mindfulness. Michael emphasized that while mindfulness may be simple to understand, it's difficult to implement, but gets easier with practice. He highlighted the importance of recognizing distractions and returning one's attention back to the present moment. Michael also shared his approach to help people prevent negative emotions from escalating throughout the day. He stressed that while bad moments will happen, it's crucial to bring oneself back to the present and avoid fueling the situation. Finally, Michael encouraged listeners to start practicing mindfulness, even for a minute, and to view their bodies as their 'home' where they can always return to and reconnect with themselves.

App Launch and Website Information

Michael shared information about the Pause, Breathe, Reflect app, including where it can be downloaded, the affordable price, and the potential for people to join for as little as a dollar. He also mentioned the availability of further information about himself on his website, https://www.pausebreathereflect.com. Liz expressed her appreciation for the work Michael has been doing and the release of the app.

According to the latest data, 70.5% of teens have experienced cyber bullying, 45.6% engaged in conversations about anxiety or depression, 72.1% encountered sexual content and 35.9% experienced self-harm/suicidal thoughts.

In this episode we cover the sheer enormity of the problem, and how you as a parent don't have to feel alone or overpowered by the reality of the online space and the risks it poses to our children. As expansive and concerning as this problem is, there is help--Bark is tech that keeps your kids safer online and in real life.

About Paul Selig

Aside from having taught hundreds of acclaimed channeled workshops internationally, Paul serves on the faculty of The Omega Institute, The Kripalu Center and the Esalen Institute. Also a noted academic, Paul serves on the Board of Trustees at Goddard College and served on the faculty of NYU for over 25 years.

Paul was born in New York City and received his master’s degree from Yale. A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant. As a way to gain a context for what he was beginning to experience he studied a form of energy healing and began to “hear” for his clients. Described as “a medium for the living,” Paul has the unique ability to step-into and “become” the people his clients ask about, often taking on their personalities and physical characteristics as he “hears” them telepathically. His unique abilities have been documented in the Biography Channel series The Unexplained and ABC’s Nightline.

In this short and effective meditation I help you release tension, breathe intentionally, and come back into your body. It doesn't take long to reset a stressed and anxious mind to one that is serene, focused and decidedly more empathetic; tune in to feel it for yourself.

This week Dr. Gavin Francis joins us to discuss his latest book "Recovery," where he unveils the hidden gems of healing, challenging the notion that recovery is a mere obstacle on the road to health. Discover why recovery is an active and empowering process, not just a passive aftermath of treatment.

Join us for a lively discussion on the tools and wisdom found in "RECOVERY" – your guide to navigating the landscape of illness and emerging whole on the other side.

About the Book

When it comes to illness, sometimes the end is just the beginning. Recovery and convalescence are words that exist at the periphery of our lives – until we are forced to contend with what they really mean.

Here, GP and writer Gavin Francis explores how – and why – we get better, revealing the many shapes recovery takes, its shifting history and the frequent failure of our modern lives to make adequate space for it.

Characterised by Francis’s beautiful prose and his view of medicine as ‘the alliance of science and kindness’, Recovery is a book about a journey that most of us never intend to make. Along the way, he unfolds a story of hope, transformation, and the everyday miracle of healing.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

The 14 essential conversations to have with your tween and early teenager to prepare them for the emotional, physical, and social challenges ahead, including scripts and advice to keep the communication going and stay connected during this critical developmental window. 

Trying to convince a middle schooler to listen to you can be exasperating. Indeed, it can feel like the best option is not to talk! But keeping kids safe—and prepared for all the times when you can't be the angel on their shoulder—is about having the right conversations at the right time. From a brain growth and emotional readiness perspective, there is no better time for this than their tween years, right up to when they enter high school.

Distilling Michelle Icard's decades of experience working with families, FOURTEEN TALKS BY AGE FOURTEEN focuses on big, thorny topics such as friendship, sexuality, impulsivity, and technology, as well as unexpected conversations about creativity, hygiene, money, privilege, and contributing to the family. Icard outlines a simple, memorable, and family-tested formula for the best approach to these essential talks, the BRIEF Model: Begin peacefully, Relate to your child, Interview to collect information, Echo what you're hearing, and give Feedback. With wit and compassion, she also helps you get over the most common hurdles in talking to tweens, including:

• What phrases invite connection and which irritate kids or scare them off
• The best places, times, and situations in which to initiate talks
• How to keep kids interested, open, and engaged in conversation
• How to exit these chats in a way that keeps kids wanting more

Like a Rosetta Stone for your tween's confounding language, FOURTEEN TALKS BY AGE FOURTEEN is an essential communication guide to helping your child through the emotional, physical, and social challenges ahead and, ultimately, toward teenage success.

Guided Meditation for Overcoming Anxiety

In today's world of synthetic pharmaceuticals, scientists and laypeople alike have lost a connection to the natural world. But in ignoring the potential of medicinal plants, we lose out on the opportunity to discover potentially life-saving medicines.

In this episode, ethnobotanist Dr. Cassandra Quave discusses her groundbreaking work at Emory which backs up the argument in her new book, THE PLANT HUNTER: that the key to preventing another global health crisis could very likely be in plants and not synthetic compounds.

In THE PLANT HUNTER, Dr. Quave also shares her incredible life story which brought her to this groundbreaking field. As a person born with multiple congenital defects of her skeletal system, Quave had to have her right leg amputated at 3 years old. She spent so much time in the hospital as a child that she ended up falling in love with medicine and grew up volunteering in the ER, when other kids her age were at football games or school dances.

Since then her research has brought her to the forests of the remote Amazon, the murky swamps of southern Florida, isolated mountaintops in Albania and Kosovo, and volcanic isles of the Mediterranean, often with children in tow. THE PLANT HUNTER weaves together Quave’s personal experiences with medicine, infection, disability, scientific discovery and the experience of being a woman and mother of three in a male-dominated field with a fascinating description of how plantsand microbes interact, how antibiotic resistance evolves, and how Quave is working to figure out how we may be able to overcome it by taking the focus away from synthetic compounds.  

In this short guided meditation I help you connect back to your heart, release anxiety, and send your inner child the attention and love it needs to feel whole.

When it comes to modeling healthy behavior for your kids, it can often feel overwhelming, but it can be done, and it's easier than you think. This week I'm sitting down with Alicia Wilks to talk about how to lean into a plant-based diet and why it has been proven to help you and your children live longer, healthier lives.

Alicia is a mother of five and wife of James Wilks. Their recently released film, "The Game Changers" by Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic, and Chris Paul showcases elite athletes, special ops soldiers, visionary scientists, cultural icons, and everyday heroes, will change your understanding of food and definition of true strength.

About Game Changers Film

Directed by Oscar®-winning documentary filmmaker Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic, and Chris Paul, The Game Changers tells the story of James Wilks — elite Special Forces trainer and The Ultimate Fighter winner — as he travels the world on a quest to uncover the optimal diet for human performance.

Showcasing elite athletes, special ops soldiers, visionary scientists, cultural icons, and everyday heroes, what James discovers permanently changes his understanding of food and his definition of true strength.

"Release the Stress, and Align with Your Truth"

In this conversation CEO and co-founder of Wavelength, Sarah Stites, and I discuss the power of changing your thoughts and behaviors around food, and the toxicity of diet culture, weight stigma, and body shame. Tune in to learn how changing how you think can improve your relationship with food for good!

Sarah was diagnosed with PCOS and pre-diabetes as a teen, gaining 100lbs within a year while struggling with dieting.

Instead of addressing the root causes of her eating habits, doctors and diet programs shamed her for her weight and lack of “willpower.” That’s when her mom, a scientist with a PhD and a masters degree in nutrition science stepped in. She helped her understand the science and psychology behind her eating choices, without guilt or shame. Sarah changed her eating by working with her body and mind, reversed her pre-diabetes, and lost 150lbs. That was ten years ago. 

Together, Sarah and her mom created Wavelength — a holistic, compassionate, science-forward approach for anyone struggling with eating choices.

QUOTES

"The behavioral, the metabolic, the neurological patterns that underly our eating choices are complex, but it has nothing to do with the quality of your character, discipline, or willpower"

"By addressing the root causes of our eating behaviors we can fundamentally heal our relationship with food, change our health and change our stars"

July 30th is the United Nation's World Day Against Human Trafficking, an issue that is far more widespread than you may realize.

Human trafficking includes selling people for sexual exploitation, forced labor or marriage, and even for organ harvesting. Every year, thousands of people become victims of this heinous crime, some in their native countries and others while traveling abroad. Many of these people are children.

In this special bonus episode I'm speaking with O.U.R. Rescue Director of Outreach Jani Dix about the incredible work Tim Ballard's organization is doing in conjunction with law enforcement to free and heal children from sex trafficking, and how you can join in the fight too.

Surprisingly, in the United States, trafficking occurs and then the child goes home at night--it's not what you'd typically imagine or what you've seen in the media.

This is an incredibly important conversation that has the potential to save innumerable lives from slavery: Listen in, learn what to look for in your own community, and learn how YOU can help in the fight against people who actively seek to harm children. 

Take the free trafficking course to educate yourself on what to look for in your own community.

Has the practice of prayer, meditation and gratitude helped you get through this past year? If you're like many mothers, the answer is unequivocally YES. In this wide ranging conversation with best selling faith writer Sarah Bessey, we discuss her new book, "A Rhythm of Prayer" and how during this time of upheaval, stress, and burnout, it's our open communication and connection to God and to each other that has the power to change everything. Featuring writing by Amena Brown, Barbara Brown Taylor, Lisa Sharon Harper, and more.

GET THE BOOK

For the weary, the angry, the anxious, and the hopeful, this collection of moving, tender prayers offers rest, joyful resistance, and a call to act, written by Barbara Brown Taylor, Amena Brown, Nadia Bolz-Weber, and other artists and thinkers, curated by the author Glennon Doyle calls “my favorite faith writer.”

It’s no secret that we are overworked, overpressured, and edging burnout. Unsurprisingly, this fact is as old as time—and that’s why we see so many prayer circles within a multitude of church traditions. These gatherings are a trusted space where people seek help, hope, and peace, energized by God and one another.
 
This book, curated by acclaimed author Sarah Bessey, celebrates and honors that prayerful tradition in a literary form. A companion for all who feel the immense joys and challenges of the journey of faith, this collection of prayers says it all aloud, giving readers permission to recognize the weight of all they carry. These writings also offer a broadened imagination of hope—of what can be restored and made new. Each prayer is an original piece of writing, with new essays by Sarah Bessey throughout.

Encompassing the full breadth of the emotional landscape, these deeply tender yet subversive prayers give readers an intimate look at the diverse language and shapes of prayer.

Learn why going vegan is incredible for not only your health, but the health of your children and the planet. So much of what we learn about nutrition in school and through campaigns by the meat and dairy industry is wrong. In a country where the most prescribed drug is Prilosec, clearly we are not eating in alignment with what our bodies actually need and want.

In this episode you will learn the incredible health benefits of going vegan, and how it can eradicate world hunger, global warming, and gross abuses against animals. Whatever your core interest in veganism may be, you will definitely want to hear what Amy has to say. 

Amy Jean Davis

Amy Jean Davis is an animal rights advocate and the Founder of LA Animal Save (www.laanimalsave.org), the Los Angeles chapter of the global Save Movement. Originally from a small town in Indiana, Amy came to Los Angeles in 2008 as a top 24 Finalist on season 7 of American Idol. Davis started an animal sanctuary in the Los Angeles, California area. In 2015, she completed her certificate in Plant Based Nutrition from eCornell, and in 2016, Amy founded LA Animal Save, which is now the largest chapter of more than 600 Save groups worldwide.

 About LA Animal Save:

Founded in 2016 by Amy Jean Davis, LA Animal Save (http://laanimalsave.org) is the largest chapter of the 600+ Save Movement groups around the world. The Save Movement (www.TheSaveMovement.org), which began in Toronto, Canada, bears witness to the suffering and oppression of pigs, cows, chickens and other farmed animals en route to slaughter. Using a love-based, community-organizing approach, volunteer animal rights advocates hold regular, peaceful vigils at slaughterhouses, live markets, and factory farms in order to be present in the face of animal injustice, raise awareness about the plight of farmed animals, help people to become vegan, and continue to build a grassroots animal justice movement based on the principles of animal equality and freedom.

After working in some of the most prestigious restaurants in the world, Louisiana-born Chef and author Ryan Rondeno developed his signature style of flavor and execution which garnered him celebrity clients like Will Smith, Common, Ben Affleck, P. Diddy and many more.

As a mother of a child with ADHD, author and Board-Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Practitioner Dana Kay knows firsthand the struggles that come with parenting a neurodiverse child. She also knows the freedom that is possible once parents learn to reduce ADHD symptoms.

In this episode Dana shares shares her personal journey of parenting a child with ADHD, as well as her unique and proven strategies for reducing symptoms naturally.

More than 6 million children in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD with more than 60% of those children solely relying on medication for treatment. Following her son’s diagnosis, Dana did what many parents do: began her son on medication. Unfortunately, while helping her son focus, the medication also led to increased anxiety, weight loss, and sleepless nights. Eventually, the side effects became too big to ignore. Leaning on her training in holistic health and nutrition and all of the research she could find, she and her family changed course to an all-natural approach that has enabled her son to thrive. Dana’s son is now in middle school, he is happy and thriving and has not been on medication for years.

"The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief systems, and often nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these are you."

Eckhart Tolle

You probably know my guest Sophie Mas from her work on the Award-Winning Film Call Me By Your Name, but she is also the best selling co-author of How to Be Parisian. Now after having helped all of us feel just a little more Parisian, Sophie and her best-friend/co-author Caroline de Maigret are back with their incredible follow-up, Older, but Better, but Older which dives into the pros and cons of aging for the modern woman. This episode is about loving yourself where you are and accepting the inevitability of aging but also, and perhaps most importantly, about not allowing age to be an excuse for living a full and beautiful life.

In this episode I'm speaking with best selling author and poet Kate Baer. Her first book, What Kind Of Woman, was a #1 New York Times Instant Bestseller and featured in publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue.com & The Chicago Review. In this wide ranging conversation we cover the importance of prioritizing time for self-care and creative pursuits, and why releasing fears of failure and criticism is key to clearing the path to a life you truly love.
