273: How to Identify and Question the Stressful Thoughts with Byron Katie (Replay)

Happy almost new year! Since the holidays can be a stressful time, I decided to re-play a great episode about dealing with stressful thoughts with Byron Katie. Katie is the founder of The Work, a simple yet powerful process of inquiry that teaches how to identify and question the stressful thoughts that cause all of our stress.

On the show today, we talk about:

• how to reduce our stresses in life

• How to use 4 questions to practice The Work

• And how to cultivate a practice of questioning in order to be happier.

271 Challenging the Patriarchy with Father Anne Tropeano

Today on the Well Woman Show, I interview Father Anne Tropeano who defied the Vatican to be ordained as a Roman Catholic priest with the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests.

Father Anne earned a Master of Divinity from the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, CA, and has worked in several parishes in the Jesuits West Province. She is currently in the early stages of founding an inclusive Roman Catholic community in the Jesuit tradition in Albuquerque, NM. Father Anne is also fully committed to Church reform and dedicates her life to seeing the doctrine of ordination change in her lifetime.

On the show we’ll discuss:

1. Her journey to finding spirituality.

2. Why it is so important to change the doctrine of ordination in the Catholic church.

3. Why her mission is so closely aligned to fighting for justice in all areas.

270 How to Have Conversations About Race with Celeste Headlee

Today on the Well Woman Show, I interview Celeste Headlee.

She is an award-winning journalist, professional speaker and author of “We Need To Talk: How To Have Conversations That Matter,” and “Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving.”
A self-described “light-skinned Black Jew,” Headlee has been forced to speak about race—including having to defend or define her own—since childhood. In her career as a journalist for public media, she’s made it a priority to talk about race proactively.

An expert in conversation, human nature, reclaiming common humanity and finding well-being, she frequently provides insight on what is good for all humans and what is bad for us, focusing the best research in neuro and social science to increase understanding of how we relate with one another and can work together in beneficial ways in our workplaces, neighborhoods, communities and homes. Her upcoming book “Speaking of Race” is the book for people who have tried to debate and educate and argue and got nowhere; it is the book for those who have stopped talking to a neighbor or dread Thanksgiving dinner. It is an essential and timely book for all of us.

On the show we’ll discuss:
1. Why it is important to have meaningful conversations about difficult topics like race.
2. The critical role of empathy in our lives and conversations.
3. How to have conversations about race and other difficult subjects that can actually bring us closer together.
