Just the WHO of us

Dr. Eleanor Haspel-Portner's Background and Early Influences Dr. Haspel-Portner describes her early experiences with seeing auras and being sensitive to how people treated each other. She grew up as the youngest of five siblings, with significant age gaps, and faced challenges such as a difficult relationship with her brother and the loss of her father at age 15. Her mother was supportive in some ways, advocating for her in school, but less so in others. Her older sister Sandra was a major influence, introducing her to Jung and psychology. Dr. Haspel-Portner pursued higher education at the University of Chicago, influenced by her sister, and was drawn to psychology, feeling it was her calling. She emphasized the importance of credibility, aiming for a PhD to be taken seriously, especially given her interest in topics often dismissed as 'woo.' Academic and Professional Journey Dr. Haspel-Portner attended the University of Chicago, joining an integrated social science department that included psychology, biology, sociology, and anthropology. She studied under renowned figures such as Larry Kohlberg and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. She married at 20, divorced during graduate school, and balanced her studies with teaching and raising two children. She found teaching unfulfilling and realized that academic psychology did not equip her with practical skills for parenting. This led her to study Parent Effectiveness Training and other practical communication methods. She later became a clinician, refusing to use the DSM for labeling, and focused on empowering clients rather than pathologizing them. Her clinical work included group sessions using music and meditation, and she authored several books, including 'Marriage in Trouble: A Time of Decision.' Development and Critique of Human Design and Noble Energy Maps Dr. Haspel-Portner discusses her work with Human Design, which she critiqued as incomplete and disempowering because it focuses only on the mental world. She developed the Noble Energy Maps, based on statistical analysis of 45,000 cases, integrating astrology, the Tree of Life, developmental psychology, and esoteric theory. She emphasizes that humans live in four worlds: mental, emotional/angelic, spiritual, and physical. She argues that traditional psychology addresses only 25% of human experience (the mental world), neglecting the other dimensions. Her Noble Energy Maps aim to empower individuals by recognizing their multi-dimensional consciousness and unique energy sensitivities, starting from infancy. Energy Sensitivity and Communication in Relationships and Parenting Both speakers discuss the importance of recognizing and adapting to energy sensitivity in themselves and others, especially in family and therapeutic contexts. Dr. Haspel-Portner shares how she encouraged her children and grandchildren to acknowledge and discuss their perceptions of energy and auras, fostering a language of spirit at home. She emphasizes the need for parents and clinicians to adapt communication styles to the individual, especially for sensitive children. Reah shares her own experiences with sensitive children and the importance of treating each child as an individual. Both agree that recognizing and validating a child's or client's unique sensitivities and communication needs is crucial for self-esteem and empowerment. Dr. Haspel-Portner also notes that energy sensitivity can be inherited and that many people are unaware of their own sensitivities. Individuality and Uniqueness in Development and Education Dr. Haspel-Portner stresses that every individual is unique, as evidenced by her experience with thousands of Noble Energy Maps—no two charts are the same. She advocates for treating each child or client as an individual, adapting communication and educational approaches accordingly. She shares personal examples of moving her children between schools until they found the right fit, prioritizing their feedback over convenience. Both speakers discuss the importance of not imposing a mold on children and recognizing differences even among siblings or twins. This approach, they agree, fosters self-esteem, empowerment, and authentic self-expression. Therapeutic Practice and Service Orientation Dr. Haspel-Portner describes her therapeutic approach as entirely client-centered, focusing on the needs, desires, and state of being of the person she is serving. She emphasizes that therapy is not about the clinician's opinions or feelings but about empowering the client to discover and express their own needs. She warns against projecting one's own emotions or judgments onto clients or children, advocating for deep listening and attunement. This service orientation extends to all helping professions, where the goal should be to serve the unique needs of each individual rather than imposing preconceived solutions. Resources and Upcoming Events Dr. Haspel-Portner provides information about her website, noblesciences.com, where listeners can access a free Four Worlds Assessment. This tool evaluates balance across the mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical worlds and can guide personal development. She also announces an upcoming master class on the Four Worlds, scheduled for June 18th, lasting approximately four hours. Interested individuals can email her to be added to the notification list.

Transitioning Life Stages and Identity Beyond Parenting This week's conversation explores the experience of moving from active parenting to a new phase of life as children grow older or leave home. Both women reflect on the challenges and opportunities that come with this shift, such as redefining personal identity beyond roles like parent, spouse, or caretaker. Ingrid shares her own journey after her children were grown, including getting tattoos and learning to ride a motorcycle at age 56, as acts of reclaiming personal freedom and self-discovery. Reah discusses the adjustment to having fewer children at home and the sense of unfamiliarity and even guilt that can come with newfound free time. Both emphasize the importance of taking time for oneself, pursuing personal interests, and not falling into the trap of always caring for others at the expense of self. The discussion also touches on the spiritual and practical aspects of this transition, especially for women, and the need to find fulfillment and joy in activities outside of traditional caregiving roles. Writing, Creativity, and the Value of Sharing Personal Stories A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the process and value of writing, particularly memoirs and autobiographies. Both speakers are authors and share their experiences with writing and publishing. Reah describes her ongoing work on a memoir about turning 40, the challenges of restructuring the book, and the emotional benefits of writing, such as gaining clarity and processing relationships. Ingrid emphasizes that writing truthfully can open doors for readers to reflect on their own lives, even if the writing does not reach a wide audience. They discuss the impact that books can have on individuals, citing examples of books that changed their perspectives or lives. The conversation highlightes the importance of writing for oneself as well as for others, the therapeutic aspects of the creative process, and the ripple effect that sharing personal stories can have, even if it only helps one person. Both encourage others to write, regardless of commercial success, and reflected on the importance of being proud of creative work. Women’s Visibility, Wisdom, and Intergenerational Dialogue The speakers explore the theme of women’s visibility and the importance of honoring women’s identities and contributions. Ingrid recountes a formative childhood experience reading about Osa Johnson, whose name was omitted in a newspaper article, sparking a lifelong commitment to ensuring women are recognized for their achievements. This leads to a discussion about the tendency for women, especially as they age, to feel invisible or overlooked. Ingrid, who identifies as an elder and 'irreverent wise woman,' stresses the value of older women sharing their wisdom and experiences, both online and in person. She describes how her tattoos often spark conversations with younger people, creating opportunities for intergenerational exchange. Both speakers agree on the importance of women owning their stories, being proud of their accomplishments, and resisting societal pressures to diminish themselves. The conversation also touches on the need for women to support each other and to find pride in their creative and personal achievements.   Podcasting, Marketing, and Creative Commitment The speakers touch on the practical aspects of podcasting, marketing, and maintaining creative commitments. Reah discusses her approach to podcasting, noting that while her platform often serves as a marketing tool for guests, she finds self-promotion challenging and prefers organic sharing of her work. She has learned to schedule posts and manage her time more effectively, especially around personal milestones like her birthday. Ingrid appreciates the structure of being a regular podcast guest, as it helps her set intentions and prioritize participation. Both acknowledge that creative work, whether writing or podcasting, requires a degree of self-marketing and commitment, and that being proud of one’s work is important. They also discuss the mutual benefits of regular collaboration and the value of creating space for authentic, unscripted conversations. Get to know Ingrid at ⁠https://www.ingridkincaid.com/⁠.

Inspired by her recovery, Danielle expresses her desire to share these practices with others, particularly those in her immediate circle, to help improve their lives as well.

The pair additionally discuss how fears, including those related to childhood trauma and external beliefs, can hold people back from personal growth and success. Reah shares her journey of discovering the impact of these fears through education about brain function and self-reflection. Dr. Danielle emphasizes the importance of looking inward to identify and address personal limitations, using her own relationship experiences as an example of how self-reflection led to positive changes. They dive into a broader understanding of grief, explaining that it can stem from various life changes beyond just death, such as job loss or relationship changes while highlighting how relationship loss and gradual relationship changes can also cause grief.

This week, we meet Cathy, who runs a worm composting business in Canada, shares her journey from selling worms for indoor composting to discovering laughter yoga in 2012, which she began practicing seriously during the 2020 pandemic. She notes that laughter yoga, which involves laughing as a form of cardiovascular exercise, has significantly changed her life and is now focused on promoting mental health awareness globally. Cathy and Reah briefly discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on society, including its effects on social interactions, work, and personal development. While some positive outcomes emerged, such as increased creativity and financial benefits for some, the overall societal impact was significant and multifaceted. Cathy and Reah discuss the origins of villainous behavior, agreeing that it is not inherent but develops over time, often due to unaddressed trauma and lack of understanding of accountability. Reah shares her personal experience of generational trauma, highlighting how healing and positive change typically begin in the third or fourth generation. They note that societal awareness of mental health issues, particularly since COVID-19, has helped in addressing these issues, but there is still a need for better education and support in dealing with trauma. Further, they discuss the increasing importance of mental health awareness across generations, noting that while age can influence learning, it's becoming more acceptable for people of all ages to continue growing and learning. They explore the potential of laughter yoga as a tool for promoting peace and reducing conflict, while Cathy shared her interest in worm composting as a solution for reducing landfill waste and improving soil nutrition.  Get to know Cathy via:  Links: https://www.cathyscomposters.com/ https://www.cathysclub.com/ https://www.cathyssprouters.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathynesbitt/ https://www.youtube.com/@CathyLaughter https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559438955975 Learn more about Reah at https://www.Falolity.net, Reah Hagues (@falolity_llc) • Instagram photos and videos, Falolity | Salisbury NC | Facebook, TikTok - Make Your Day or email her at [email protected]! #laughtermedicine, #medicinallaughter, #chuckleclub, #cathyschuckleclub, #falolityllc, #justthewhoofuspodcast, #reahhagues, #cathynesbitt, #podcasting, #podcast, #sharingstories, #mentalhealth, #healthylaughter, #laughterclub

In this cross-over episode, Ingrid and I talk respect for time, open conversation, setting examples, and more parenting reflection. Reah discusses her approach to managing her business and personal life, emphasizing the use of calendars and whiteboards to stay organized. She notes that as her children grew older, she became more reliant on structured planning to handle the various responsibilities.  Reah and Ingrid discuss how managing children's schedules becomes more organized as they grow older. Ingrid explains that natural rhythms are often disrupted by structured appointments and school schedules, suggesting that if children didn't have to attend school, they would follow more natural sleep and activity patterns. They agree that parents learn to handle multiple responsibilities more effectively over time, though Ingrid acknowledged that mothers typically bear the primary responsibility for childcare globally. They additionally discuss the challenges of transitioning from being a sole caretaker to sharing responsibilities in a cohabiting household. Reah shares her experience of adjusting to her husband taking on more parental responsibilities after years of being the primary caretaker as a single mother. Ingrid drew parallels to the concept of mastering and surrendering in the ancient runic wisdom system, comparing it to learning to ride a horse. They also emphasize the importance of loving and supporting children while acknowledging that parenting involves balancing safety, responsibility, and allowing children to develop as individuals as well as the challenges of teaching children responsibility, particularly regarding bringing their own jackets. They agree that different children have different maturity levels, making it difficult to set a specific age for when children should be accountable for their choices. Reah shares her approach of keeping extra items in her car trunk for emergencies and gradually transitioning children to responsibility as they demonstrate the ability to manage these tasks independently. Reah shares her experience managing different age groups in her family, particularly noting the challenge of adjusting support levels as children transition from toddlerhood to school age. She describes an incident where she initially assumed her child was being uncooperative with math homework, but later realized the child needed more detailed explanation after walking him through the problem. Ingrid acknowledges the balance parents face between helping children and ensuring they develop independence, noting that even manipulative behavior can sometimes stem from a desire for more parental attention. The pair also discusses the evolution of parenting styles and communication with adult children. Reah shares how her approach to conversations with her teenage daughters has changed over time, emphasizing the importance of respectful dialogue and distinguishing between respectful banter and defensive talking back. They discuss how power dynamics shift as children grow into adulthood, allowing for more equal and friendly relationships. Reah also reflects on how these insights have influenced her communication with her own mother, noting the importance of practicing respectful behavior she teaches her children.

He shares details about his personal life, including his family, cats, and career as an author, speaker, and podcaster.

In this episode, Reah interviews Dr. Edward Feinberg, a dentist with 70 years of documented experience in full mouth reconstruction and crown and bridge dentistry, who learned from his father, a pioneer in the field. Dr. Feinberg emphasizes the importance of understanding the correlation between oral health and heart health, which he discovered later in life. He discusses his mission to educate others about dental choices and the techniques he learned from his father, which are not commonly taught in dental schools today. Edward and Reah discusses the importance of dental care and the potential risks associated with cosmetic appearances over functionality. The pair highlight the stigma surrounding oral health issues and the need for better access to dental care, especially for those without insurance and emphasized that good oral hygiene does not guarantee immunity to dental problems and that such issues can arise due to various factors beyond personal care. Dr. Feinberg explains the importance of dental care, focusing on how tartar and plaque build-up can lead to gum inflammation and bone loss, which is a common cause of tooth loss. He emphasizes the role of regular X-rays in monitoring bone health and the need for preventive measures like regular cleanings. Dr. Feinberg also emphasizes how poor tooth architecture can lead to issues like food impaction and abnormal tooth wear, which crown and bridge procedures can help address and expresses satisfaction from seeing long-term success of his dental work, even in patients with underlying health conditions. Reah inquires about the impact of Edward's work, particularly that of him and his father, on the dental industry, to which Edward responds by highlighting the importance of research and preventive practices in improving dental health outcomes. Dr. Feinberg and Reah discuss the current state of dental technology and practices, particularly the overuse of implants and the decline in traditional crown and bridge skills among younger practitioners. Dr. Feinberg emphasizes the importance of using proven techniques, such as the mason jar cover model for crown preparation, which he attributed to his father and grandfather's methods from the early 20th century, noting that this approach results in better seal and longevity of restorations, contrasting with the current butt joint restorations that he believes are inadequate. He further discusses his approach to dentistry, emphasizing the importance of engineering principles and the need to replace dentistry when necessary, due to changes over time. He further explains his aim to create an ideal architecture for teeth, gums, and bone by bringing forces close to the supporting structures, which is not commonly achieved by other dentists. Dr. Edward Feinberg's goal is to promote health by ending periodontal bone loss and making it easier for patients to maintain clean dentistry.

Dr. Kevin Smith, a board-certified chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner from Pittsburgh, joins us to discuss his dual approach to patient care, combining traditional chiropractic techniques for musculoskeletal issues with functional medicine for metabolic and systemic problems. He explains that while many people associate chiropractors with back pain, their primary focus is on ensuring the nervous system's health by relieving pressure on spinal nerves. His postdoctoral training in functional medicine allows him to address a wide range of health issues, including gut problems, thyroid disorders, and diabetes, beyond the traditional scope of chiropractic care. Dr. Kevin discussed his 25-year career in natural health and his focus on educating people about alternative treatments beyond drug therapy, noting that the United States and New Zealand are the only countries where TV drug ads are allowed. He additionally explains the difference between allopathic healthcare, which focuses on treating symptoms with chemicals, and functional medicine, which seeks to understand and address root causes of health issues. Dr. Kevin emphasizes that while medication has its place, people are often over-medicated and should explore various healing methods, including mental health, gut health, and natural treatments. For any health issue, it's best to start with the least invasive, non-toxic treatments first, such as diet changes or physical therapy, before considering more invasive options like surgery. Dr. Kevin and Reah discussed the dangers of over-reliance on medication and the importance of exploring non-invasive measures for health issues while emphasizing that many over-the-counter drugs can be harmful and highlighted the need to consider factors like diet, lifestyle, and environmental triggers. Reah shares her experience of raising teenagers to approach health issues holistically rather than immediately resorting to medication. They also touched on the significance of considering dietary and environmental factors in health management. Dr. Kevin further shares his experience about how his mother was advised to use margarine instead of butter, despite his warnings about its health risks. He explains that margarine is linked to various cancers and is nearly plastic in composition, while butter is healthier and how the food industry has historically added unhealthy ingredients to products, and expresses his belief that both the food and pharmaceutical industries intentionally harm consumers. While the food industry has changed over the years, there seems to be an increase in food allergies and sensitivities not due to exaggeration but rather due to intentional modifications in food production for economic reasons. Dr. Kevin emphasizes avoiding processed foods with trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, and unnecessary additives, advising Reah to focus on whole, unprocessed foods.

In today's episode, we meet Jason Lang; a men's embodiment coach who focuses on supporting men in relationships, career, and health, emphasizing the importance of connection and challenging societal expectations for men to be tough and self-reliant. Jason and Reah discuss societal expectations around men's emotional expression, noting that men are often expected to suppress their feelings while women are expected to show a range of emotions.  Jason and Reah highlight the need to address these expectations for men as parents, particularly in teaching emotional intelligence to children, and noted a positive shift in societal conversations about men expressing emotions. They additionally touch on the importance of breaking generational cycles and fostering open discussions about mental health and emotional expression for men. Jason and Reah discuss the impact of COVID-19 on mental health, particularly for men, highlighting increased social isolation and challenges in connecting with others and explore how traditional masculinity norms, such as the expectation of invulnerability and suppression of emotions, contribute to lifelong struggles for many boys and men. Jason emphasizes importance of teaching emotional expression and attunement from a young age, contrasting the different parenting approaches often given to boys and girls while focusing on the educational system's role in perpetuating these issues, noting research on the growing gap in educational outcomes between boys and girls, with suggestions like holding boys back a year to address the disparities. Jason discusses how boys mature emotionally slower and benefit from early physical activity and play, which helps with socialization and self-regulation. He emphasizes the importance of teaching children, especially boys, to recognize and articulate their emotions, as a lack of emotional awareness can lead to negative coping mechanisms like substance abuse or withdrawal. Reah shares her experience with her adopted son, who at 10 years old, was able to acknowledge and express his anger, which led to improved behavior and emotional regulation. Both agreed that understanding and addressing emotions early can lead to better outcomes for children. Jason and Reah further discuss the societal changes in how emotions are perceived in men, particularly the concept of the "man box" which restricts traditional male emotions to only anger as well as how boys and men are taught to suppress emotions like grief, fear, and shame, and how this can lead to unhealthy expressions of anger. Jason shares an example from his personal experience of creating a safe space for his son to express anger, which revealed underlying emotions of grief and they conclude by discussing the importance of teaching children healthy ways to express anger and other emotions. Jason emphasizes the importance of men's connection and emotional expression, highlighting how men's groups can provide support and accelerate personal growth. He explains the benefits of sharing vulnerabilities and receiving feedback in a safe environment, emphasizing how this can lead to leadership and purpose; sharing insights from his podcast, "Evolutionary Men," which focuses on helping men achieve balance between power and sensitivity.

In today's episode, Tina and Reah discuss their shared passion for parenting and family relationships, with Tina sharing her journey from a challenging childhood to becoming a parent coach who has trained over 850 coaches worldwide. They explore the concept of children's challenging behavior as a physiological need to be seen, rather than a choice, and discussed Reah's experience with her adopted 10-year-old son, who struggles with stealing and attention-seeking behaviors. Tina offered insights on how to approach Reah's son's behavior through understanding his need to be seen and validated, rather than viewing it as moral or intentional. Tina shares her personal experience of connecting with her deceased father through a medium, which confirmed his abusive behavior towards her mother. She explains how dissociation can protect children from facing the reality of their parents' inability to care for them due to trauma. Tina recommends using "ICU letters" as a powerful tool for healing! When composing these letters, it is important to include compassion for the child(ren)'s birth/absent parent(s) and healing for the child(ren) in the letter. They discuss the importance of providing positive attention to help the child(ren)'s behavior improve and emphasized the power of written communication in building intimacy and understanding between parent and child.

Nidia's journey into Reiki began by becoming trained by an Italian psychic living in Mexico and discovering its therapeutic applications through research articles. She describes Reiki as a practice involving the transfer of universal life force energy through the hands, similar to prayer healing, and mentioned her current training under Usui Reiki, with plans to achieve Level 3 certification next year. Nidia explains the origins of Reiki, tracing its lineage back to Dr. Usui, and described the seven main chakras in the human body and outlines the differences between Reiki levels, including the ability to treat oneself, family, friends, and pets, as well as the use of four symbols representing emotional healing, distant healing, and concentrated energy. Nidia expressed gratitude for completing Reiki training before AIT, as it helped her understand how AIT works. Nidia and Reah discuss the correlation between AIT and Reiki, focusing on energy psychology and holistic approaches in mental health education while noting that formal education often overlooks holistic and natural medicine practices, despite their evidence-based foundations. Nidia and Reah discuss the benefits of DBT and the physical aspects of trauma healing, including the concept that trauma energy is stored in the body and can be released through physical movement as well. They explore how trauma can be linked to weight gain and the release of cortisol when weight is lost, referencing "The Body Keeps the Score." while combined with Reiki to address energy centers and uses muscle testing to determine what is beneficial for the body. Nidia explains the principles of muscle testing as a diagnostic tool in alternative medicine, demonstrating two methods: sliding the index finger over the thumb and interlacing fingers and the pair discusses how natural practices are often viewed with skepticism compared to traditional medicine. Nidia also describes her experience in a tamascal, a traditional sweat lodge-like structure, which led her to explore generational trauma through AIT sessions. She explains how trauma experienced by her grandmother during pregnancy with her mother was passed down chemically, and how carrying both a baby and future generations' ovaries during pregnancy can impact future generations. Nidia and Reah additionally discuss the importance of decluttering and its positive impact on mental and physical well-being. They agree that increased awareness and education about decluttering, facilitated by podcasters like Reah, are contributing to its growing popularity. Nidia emphasizes the power of knowledge in empowering individuals to make positive changes in their lives, while Reah highlightes the importance of self-understanding as a foundation for navigating life's challenges. They go on to further discuss the importance of self-awareness and questioning to break cycles of poverty and make positive changes.

In this episode Sean and Reah discuss Sean's journey with mental health experiences, clarifying that they view their experiences as spiritual rather than diagnostic. Sean shares his transformative experience that led him to explore spirituality and mental health. He describes a life-changing meditation during a Landmark Forum seminar that uncovered deep-seated fears related to a previous scuba diving accident. This experience led to a spiritual crisis, culminating in a hospitalization after he became unmanageable in a hotel ballroom. Despite the challenging start, Sean's career flourished afterward, and he later discovered the concept of spiritual emergency through Dr. Stan Groff's work. Sean shares his experience with a spiritual emergency, which he initially mistook for a mental disorder but later realized was a beneficial spiritual experience. He describes how this experience transformed his understanding of the spiritual dimension of mental health. Sean explains how he was raised Catholic but became agnostic during his university studies, exploring the sociology and psychology of religion. However, a move to Vancouver and subsequent experiences reignited his belief in God, leading to his spiritual emergency. Sean and Reah discuss their experiences with spirituality and atheism, with Sean explaining that true atheism involves questioning religious beliefs and leading to a more experiential form of spirituality that doesn't depend on religion. Reah shares her journey from strict Christianity to a more moderate spiritual position, influenced by her husband's evolution from atheism to a belief system that includes personal experiences of the divine. They also touch on the concept of synchronicity and its role in spiritual experiences, with Sean noting that while waiting for a bus might be considered a minor synchronicity, more significant events carry more weight. Sean shares his personal journey and research on understanding acute psychosis and bipolar disorder, highlighting the work of pioneering psychologists who viewed such experiences as intended reorganization of the psyche for healing. He also explains the effectiveness of the Ceterian method, which emphasizes empathy and support over medication, and his experience supporting family members through psychosis without medication, emphasizing the importance of holistic health approaches, criticizing the gaslighting nature of some psychiatric practices and advocating for somatic therapy alongside medication and therapy.  Learn more about Sean, and obtain a free PDF of his books, and training programs on his website: https://www.bipolarAwakenings.com.
