Did you know that in the 1700's, in spite of being able to actually hold the evidence in their own hands, scientists outright dismissed meteorites and even threw entire collections away because the leading scientist at the time declared; "rocks don't fall from the sky".  In this episode of The Kensho Way we explore why we may be cutting off our own nose in spite of our face.    

Even elite athletes miss this foundational aspect of building OPTIMAL resilience to give us the best chance to achieve our human potential. Hydration is only half of the equation, the other half is found in the little knwon and explored arena of trace mineral supplementation. To achieve optimal levels you must supplement and our guest on today's episode of The Kensho Way Podcast, Jennifer Martinez had dedicated her life to helping athletes and people who do physical work for a living achieve optimal hydration and trace mineral support.

Our culture of go, go, go has made us Human Doings, not Human Beings. In this episode of The Kensho Way we outline how the constant stimulation of our central nervous system is creating disease and dysfunction in our body, mind and spirit. We also outline an exercise that helps us to slow down, put ourselves first with regard to our self care so we can become the best version of ourselves possible. This is about expanding our human potential through regular restoration and resilience practices. Enjoy! 

We have within us the aspects of darkness and light. Very often we deny the dark side of our personalities, which is understandable to be sure...and, in doing so we deny a foundational aspect of our essential nature that when properly channeled and embraced can create a True balance, the yin to the yang so to speak. In this episode we explore a thought experiment to access both sides for generating new, creative ideas to overcome life challenges.  

Modern times are challenging and the temptation to divide and conquer are strong in some. History has shown us another example, that unity and collaboration through service to community ensures we have the opportunity to thrive during times of adversity. On this episode of The Kensho Way we explore the two paths before us and which one we might chose to honor.  Enjoy!   

In this episode of The Kensho Way we explore an amazing creativity muscle building tool to help us navigate life challenges. This technique is designed to help us think in new ways to solve problems when we are stuck or facing too many possible decisions. This one is my personal go-to and never fails to provide me with new perspectives I can then apply to my challenging situation. Tried and true, enjoy! 

Regrets from the past create depression. Fear based projections into the future create anxiety. Only the power of the present moment offers balance to the body, mind and spirit. Join us on this foundational exploration of a resilience essential, being fully here, now and in this moment. This is the Kensho way.  

On this short-cast, HeroTalk.org coffee break, I provide two solid solutions for finding DAILY time for self-care in spite of the swirling chaos of Life. These two simple strategies have been total game-changers for my students and coaching clients to take back control, gain greater self-care time and add some serious dollars to their resilience bank account.  

On this shortcast of the HeroTalk.org podcast we take a look at how to navigate adversity with ease and grace, even when life challenges are hammering us down with relentless force.  

When it comes to resilience building proper breathing tops the list of low hanging fruit that pays HUGE dividends in improving all aspects or our mental and physical health. We have all heard the term "mouth breather" and we don't want to be one of those...right? Well, it turns out that mouth breathing is harmful to your health and in this interview our guest, Rob Davis, talks about the benefits for nasal breathing as well as his new product that fixes mouth breathing at night. The ROI here is huge Heroes, don't miss this one!   

The challenges we are facing as a Hero Culture are significant. As Warriors we are primed to fight all challenges which can be a just cause but the price we pay to our mental and physical health is profound. What if there were another way, a way that allows us to address challenges AND create greater resilience. In this short-cast we will cover just such a technique that is a POWERFUL way to navigate adversity.  

Our guest, Bill Fogarty, owner/founder of 21Clets, a leading edge First Responder training organization, lays down some timeless wisdom to not only survive the demanding career of a First Responder, but to actually thrive amidst the chaos of modern times, especially with regard to the current significant challenges being faced by the law enforcement community.  

PTSD911 is a documentary film about real people who have chosen to work in professions that require above average heroism. These men and women have jobs that require a willingness to face what most cannot even imagine and that journey causes ongoing and compounding issues related to post traumatic stress injuries and disorders. This work is all about smashing the stigma and promoting awareness.  \r\n

Get ready Heroes...this is a wild ride. Our guest, Brock Bevell, founder of Chase The Vase Challenge, is going to blow your mind. Brock was a LEO with a true passion for the job until a serious injury ended his career. After multiple knee surgeries he became, as so many have, addicted to opioids. After an intense struggle he overcame his challenges to full recovery and now he channels that experience into helping others, especially those in the first responder community. Brock\'s passion is infectious and his techniques are...unconventional. You are gonna love this show. Enjoy!   \r\n

Our guest, Robin Wald, takes the woo woo out of astrology and shows us how this complex, mathematical based system is a true science. This is Robin\'s second appearance on the show and for good reason, she\'s a master of her craft.  We discuss how things are shifting in 2021 from an astrological perspective and how some true relief and opportunity is happening in the transition of the Spring Equinox.

Our guest, Rachelle Zemlok, is a psychologist, public speaker, author, specialist in law enforcement and firefighter families as well as a podcast host of Code 3 Families. Rachelle and I take a dive into how the unique family dynamics and challenges created by having a spouse or partner who is a first responder can be navigated with more ease and grace. While there are many gems in this interview, what really impressed me was Rachelle's wisdom with regard to first responder kids and how we can best support them at their various developmental levels...pure gold.  Enjoy!
