Connecting the Communication Disconnect with Chronic Illness with Dr. Kevin J. Payne TBP027

Terri-Ann Richards — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 08:35:00 +0000

Professor of social psychology, entrepreneur, author, podcast host, and speaker, Dr. Kevin Payne shares the results of his extensive research into how to live a quality life with chronic distress, pain, and illness. Dr. Payne is also a podcast host and speaker. His personal adventures as a collector of experiences, even as he has battled multiple sclerosis for decades.

In this episode, we discussed the journey of facing chronic illnesses including invisible ones. We can know things from the outside looking in. But understanding comes from the inside looking out. Open communication is a way of unleashing chronic illness. When it is recognized, actions can be taken.

Quotes from this episode:

“A lot of what I do is also training, medical, health and wellness professionals, because they're trained according to an acute care model. And most of what they do, doesn't work well for us. And unfortunately, now over 50% of all Americans are living with a chronic health diagnosis.”

“Most of us have what are called Invisible illnesses. Because nobody can see that I am in chronic pain. Nobody can see that I'm chronically fatigued. Nobody can see that I have cognitive fog, that I'm always having to strain to interpret the world through and make sense of things.”

“Even before the pandemic burnout amongst the medical health, wellness and caring professions was already at an all time high. Part of that is operating under continual distress and pain. Part of that is trying to sandwich care for people with chronic conditions.”

“The important point here is that we should all try empathy, just realize that no matter how much you try to be empathetic, you're still going to suck at it. And, and that's okay.”

Hustle culture won’t save your business certainly because you may experience burnout eventually. The question now is how you will overcome Burnout in the midst of building a business.

Heal, Don't Harden with Dr. Debi Silber TBP014

Terri-Ann Richards — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 18:03:00 +0000

It's tempting to believe that avoiding painful emotions and "putting on a brave face" is the best approach to get through difficult situations. But how will you handle it if you're experiencing pain, trauma, and betrayal from someone you hold? Betrayal is not easy to handle because time doesn't heal all wounds, it shows up in every area of life. It could affect your mind, body, lifestyle, and even business. Betrayal lends itself to creating an entirely new identity.

Dr. Debi Silber is a woman of health, mindset, empowerment, and personal development expert. She’s a holistic psychologist, motivational speaker, coach, and the author of the #1 best-selling book on Amazon: The Unshakable Woman : 4 Steps to Rebuilding Your Body, Mind, and Life After a Life Crisis. Dr. Debi has developed a predictable and established process for people to go from betrayal to breakthrough after researching and doing a PhD study on how we feel betrayal by a family member or partner.

Quotes from this episode:

- “You are a very different person, when you have fully and completely rebuilt your life from betrayal.”

- “We've all been taught that time heals all wounds. I have proof that when it comes to betrayal, that's not true.”

- “If you do not learn to trust again, it's like living half a life.”

- “Your worldview is your mental model.”
