Every parent out there knows that the job of parenting can affect your physical and emotional well being in both a positive and negative way. The difference between good kids and bad kids is a slippery slope, especially when it comes to shaping the psychology of healthy children.
To guide us through this subject, we welcome back Dr. Gregory Canillas to the show!
Anyone who has followed this program knows that Dr. Canillas set my show on fire the last time he came through to discuss relationships. In fact, after 115 shows, that show is still the highest rated and downloaded show I've ever had.
Dr. Canillas is currently teaching in a doctoral program in Applied Clinical Psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology (Los Angeles campus) and is an Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Pepperdine University and National University.
He is a frequent presenter at regional, national and international conferences on parenting and relationship issues, foster care, domestic trafficking of children, intimate partner violence, substance abuse, psychological treatment and ethnic minority populations and LGBTQ issues.
He has served as a Program Director at several nonprofit organizations, overseeing the child and adult therapy programs and pregnant/parenting teen programs. Dr. Canillas has also served as a Children's Social Worker with the Department of Children and Family Services, as a Clinical Psychologist with the Department of Mental Health, and later as the Clinical Director of a family preservation program.
He currently serves on the Commission on Youth and Children (Long Beach, California), a body that advises the Mayor and city council on issues of importance to children, adolescents and families in that city.
It is often said that the key to finding health, abundance, healing, and a happy life is all in the mind. Yet, how many of us are actually capable of accessing these aspects of existence? How many of us are able to enjoy these states of being on a consistent basis as opposed to a fleeting moment?
Today we welcome back Dr. David James to the show. Dr. James' passion is to see us make amazing changes in our lives. His latest book, Discovering Your Magnificent Mind, shows us how to tap into the unused powers of our mind to achieve our greatest desires.
Dr. James practices hypnotherapy and psychotherapy in Beverly Hills, California as part of the New Visions Medical Group. He is the author of two previous books on the spiritual life of men and has written articles for journals and magazines on the intersection of psychology and spirituality.
The Optimized Condition welcomes McCartney Green back to the show!
If you all remember, McCartney and I had every intention on discussing her 7 keys to becoming a manifesting magnet on our last show and we had such a great time chatting it up that we completely didn't get to those keys! So she is coming back to the show to finally get to how we can manifest all that we desire.
McCartney is the author of 11 books, a speaker and Life Transformation Coach, and mother of 7! She loves helping people to change their lives through a simple formula by learning to have unshakeable joy or having joy no matter what the outside circumstances are.
We hear a lot about how our ego can get in the way of our success. But how can we control our ego to gain what we truly want to achieve?
Todd Lemense, author of Lose Your Ego, Gain the World joins the podcast to discuss just that!
Todd is a business and motivational speaker with a specialization in personal accountability and business accountability. He is also an expert in ego control and keeping things in proper perspective. He has received national speaker awards and spoke to more than 500 corporations.
Let's face it. We ALL binge eat. Who hasn't eaten the entire bag of chips, or the tub of iced cream, or the entire box of cookies when we intended on just having a little taste? Who hasn't, on occasion, drank a 2 liter of soda or juice when all you set out for was to have a cup? Listen, it happens to the best of us!
But this mentality isn't the mentality for someone who aims to lose weight. I'm pretty sure this isn't how a thin person thinks.
Today we welcome Dr. Glenn Livingston to the show. Dr. Livingston Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of binge and overeating through work with his own patients and also a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.
His book, Never Binge Again is for anyone who has struggled with food, had difficulty sticking with a healthy diet, or have successfully lost weight before only to gain it all back. The key? Caging the beast, or simply isolating and permanently disempowering your "fat thinking self."
I always envisioned a conversation with a monk to be quite different than the conversation that I had with Vishnu Swami. Just by talking to Vishnu, it is clearly evident why he's called the Maverick Monk. His energy and radical perspective helps him relate to millennials, self-improvement enthusiasts, and working professionals alike.
So what can a swami teach us about health and wellness? Truthfully, a ton!
Vishnu and I discuss his latest book, Eternal Dharma, where he presents his Unprecedented Elemental Reality System that enables us to utilize ancient teachings in the modern world. These principals apply not only to the spiritual components of our life, but the practical, everyday choices that we make in our approach to health and wellness.
