The Brain BS™ Podcast

I am sharing a little update about the purpose of The Brain BS Podcast and my mission to help people to live consciously. 

We are always in such a hurry to get from point A to point B  and get into such a tizzy when we are forced to stop or slow down. The truth is that traffic jams, long lights, and being placed on terminal hold are all gifts from the Universe to help us stop, breathe and get present. 

This episode is for all you humans who think your life should be happier than it is. Newsflash!!! It is not supposed to be any different than it is and no matter what choices you make in life, you are going to experience pain and uncomfortable emotions! Listen to this episode so you can breathe a sigh of relief and know that you are AOK and nothing has gone terribly wrong after all.

We have to accept the inevitable even if it makes us comfortable. In this episode, I talk about how we cannot eliminate the pain we feel when our loved ones die, but we can certainly take the drama out of it that adds so much unnecessary suffering. Since we are all going to die, I highly recommend you listen to this episode:)
