Show Notes
Naomi Aldort, parenting coach, author and world renowned speaker, can help you raise resilient children who grow to be confident adults, rooted in themselves and not dependent on the approval of others. Increasingly, our kids are being taught to not offend, to be inclusive and to be triggered in many scenarios. Do we really think this is doing them a favour? The truth is, the real world can be an offensive place. We can never all be in agreement, and there will always be hard times to face. Would it not be more helpful to teach our kids how to go through hard times and to not depend on what others think of them or how they talk to them? Life can be pretty tough when one takes everything personally. I don't know about you, but I don't spend much time around people who seem to require me to walk on egg shells. If I can't have a real conversation and risk disagreement, then I'm not very interested in pursuing that relationship. This is where Naomi shines... in coaching parents how to raise children who are confident in their own skin and who feel right in the world, even if those around them might not be approving of them. It's time to focus on building resilience rather than fostering weakness! For more wisdom from Naomi, please see podcasts #'s 5, 6, 27 and 28. In this interview, Naomi shares with us: Why the topic of teaching resilience is so top of mind for her What Naomi sees as a result of young adults not being able to handle criticism and challenges The issue of getting accolades with no merit The pendulum swing in parenting as a result of parents wanting to give their children a better experience than they had How our programming started when we were babies How children are being taught to not be able to handle real life Naomi's approach to teaching children how to handle offensive comments Sensitivity vs. fear for self image How by cheerleading for our children we create fragile individuals How we condition children to seek approval and to be victims The game Naomi created to help people accept being called names Why focusing on emotions too much is not a good thing How we are unconsciously teaching our kids not to be able to handle rejection The importance of boredom and daydreaming The importance of allowing our kids to experience some discomfort and challenges Naomi's view of bullies and bullying The importance of teaching kids that they can and will recover from their pain The importance of self-expression and not suppressing feelings How self-expression is not a means to an end How self-censorship encourages bullying Naomi's view of how being defensive is an act of war How we raise children to be addicted to comfort The importance of raising kids who can can handle real life, real people and criticism How to empower them to face life and not rescue them and more!
This is a super important and relevant topic always, but specifically in the time we live currently. Resilience used to be a trait we nurtured, but somehow we have allowed it to be swapped out for encouraging our kids to be easily offended, thereby cultivating a weak disposition.

Is the sun really as dangerous as we have been led to believe? I've always questioned this and have never chosen to shun the sun as a result. What if some of the most important inputs to your health aren’t found in a bottle—but in sunlight, darkness, and the timing of your daily life? In this episode, Rachel Maurice returns to continue the conversation from Episode 106 and dives deep into circadian biology, light as a biological signal, mitochondrial function, structured water, melanin, sleep, and the fundamentals of quantum biology. Rachel shares her own experience with chronic fatigue and sleep struggles after leaving the medical system in 2021—and how two simple changes, morning sunlight and blue-light blocking at sunset, dramatically changed her energy and sleep within weeks. We also explore why modern indoor environments may be disrupting the signals our biology evolved around, why when you get light matters, the importance of darkness at night, and why getting the fundamentals right may matter more than constantly searching for the next supplement or health hack.

If you still think that high cholesterol is bad, that arterial blockages cause heart attacks and that the heart pumps your blood, then have a listen to this interview to have your heart health paradigm challenged from every angle. In this episode, I sit down with none other than Dr. Tom Cowan to challenge literally everything we've been told about cardiovascular health and disease. We dig into what really causes heart attacks (the autopsy data may surprise you), why the heart may not function as a "pump" at all, and what's actually driving heart disease. Tom is a retired alternative doctor, a speaker, educator and author of several books including Human Heart, Cosmic Heart . His fame grew over the last 6 years with a more recent book, The Contagion Myth (co-authored with Sally Fallon Morell), and his many outspoken interviews that run counter to the contagion and viral narratives. Tom walks through rarely-seen angiogram footage showing the heart's true blood supply, so if you can, you are going to want to watch this one on You Tube or Bitchute. He also explains why statins may do far more harm than good, and offers a radically different — and more empowering — way to think about heart health, autoimmunity and disease in general. This is a deep one, and it might change how you think about your next blood test, or whether you care to get one at all. Remember, this is not health advice, this is for entertainment purposes only:) Lastly, if you are looking for TRUE healthcare at a reasonable price, then please find the link below for the New Biology Clinic.

What if the real source of chronic pain, anxiety, poor posture, and stubborn weight isn't your muscles, but your fascia? I am so excited to be sitting down today with Deanna Hansen, founder of Fluid Isometrics and Block Therapy, to add another dimension to the fascia topic on the podcast. Today we explore more on the powerful role fascia plays in your health, movement, emotions, and longevity. In 2000, Deanna experienced a major breakthrough. Her large, heavy body stored much pain and she felt weighed down and depressed. While experiencing the worst of a series of anxiety attackIn 2000, Deanna intuitively pushed her hand into her abdomen and, at that moment, began a path of self-discovery. Deanna talks fascia and Block Therapy, a fascia release method she devised that uses sustained pressure with a specially designed wooden block to release adhesions, which in turn restores circulation, improves posture, reduces pain, and supports the body's own innate healing capacity. Whether you're interested in fascia release, mobility, chronic pain relief, biohacking, longevity, athletic performance, or optimizing your physical and mental health, this episode offers insights that could change how you think about your body forever.
