Regular Guy Friday ep. 156 Know Your Boundaries, Know Yourself

If you’ve been listening to the show lately, you know that I’ve been on this journey with Dr Joe Dispenza for 6 months, doing his meditations daily and integrating his teachings into my life. His work has been life-changing not only for me but for so many. On today’s show you will hear from Evie Jennes, a woman who combined western medicine and Dr Joe’s meditations while on her cancer journey. In her own words Evie writes:  “In 2016 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was very fortunate in that it was contained to one breast, my lymph nodes were clean as was the rest of my body. I went through traditional treatment, switched up my diet, and exercise and got my ‘warrior’ on. I pretty much sailed through chemo, had a mastectomy, and had the best result you can get. No cancer in the tissue, no spread of the cancer I was ready to live life. Turn the page. In March 2019 I blew out my back and ended up with herniated desks. After my back got worse and I was in crazy pain a second MRI was taken. Spots were found on my pelvis. Not what you want to hear when you have had breast cancer. After a PET scan I found out it was not only in my pelvis, but my spine, shoulder, collar bone, both legs, both arms and my jaw. This was worse than bad. Stage 4 cancer. I was in shock. I never ever thought it would come back. I knew this time I had to treat more than my body but also my ‘being’. I had missed that the last time around. Within 24 hours of each other friends in Europe and the USA told me about Dr. Joe Dispenza. I watched several interviews and I was sold. I went all in. I was doing “ East meets West” this time around for my treatment. I believe that there are gaps in both. I learned how to meditate, create the future I wanted, and heal myself. There were many ups and downs. I got better. I got worse. There were joys and disappointments. There was celebration and complete devastation. But most of all I learned, I grew, I developed, and in the end I healed myself. I continue to ‘peel the onion’ of life every day. Cancer is the best, worst thing that ever happened to me. Through telling my story, and the work of the InnerScience Research Fund my big hope is that meditation becomes part of the standard of (health)care. It has been, and will continue to be the way I begin and end every day. Oh, and today, all my tumor markers are normal.” This interview is extremely powerful and emotional. If it resonated with you in any way, please share with a friend.  Be sure to tune in tomorrow’s episode where you will hear from Kristin Bosteels, another cancer patient who follows Dr Joe’s practices.   EVIE’S RESOURCES: Evie’s speech at Dr Joe’s meditation retreat that Maria attended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_xVZHQAARo&t=883s  InnerScience Research Fund IG: @InnerScienceresearch This is a non-profit that Evie is on the board of.

Why no bad news in the world should surprise you. Why doing is better than forcing. Why surrendering and detaching from outcomes is vital? Why you can't get better in the environment that made you sick in the first place. How working too hard can block opportunities. How to 'trust the data' when bad things happen. How bad things are something you can look forward to. But who are we kidding @thekelseymeyer, @poojanayyar and @undergaro? It's really about party buses, college reunions, being popular and getting likes. RGF bonus: a life changing message from @woahvicky.

Originally aired: Sep 16, 2019  Amy Cuddy is a social psychologist, bestselling author, award-winning Harvard lecturer, and expert on the behavioral science of power, presence, and prejudice. Amy Cuddy sits down with Maria to teach us how to be present, bring your best self to every situation, the difference between confidence and arrogance, and how imposter syndrome is holding a lot of us back and moving past it.  In 2012 Amy Cuddy gave a TED talk called “Your body language shapes who you are,” in which she detailed the effects of “power posing,” based on research by herself and other scientists working in the field. The talk went viral, going on to become one of TED’s most watched talks ever, with more than 54 million views.  RESOURCES:  Purchase “Presence” here: https://smile.amazon.com/Presence-Bri...  Visit Amy: www.amycuddy.com  Watch Amy’s TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_y...   Maria is continually updating this page to find the best of the best so you don’t have to do the work!
