KEW Episode 74: Self-Compassion
It’s taken me over a decade of therapy and introspection to arrive at this Episode. I don’t know what took me so long, but ‘getting’ self-compassion has been a real struggle for me. In the past few weeks a few things have clicked. First, some Miriam-Webster informed verbiage: Self: ha….

Preview KEW Episode 74: Self-Compassion
I recently arrived at the conclusion that I needed more self-compassion. I had heard this so many times I figured it must be true. Only I didn’t really know what self-compassion meant. So I started studying up on it. See, at first I had self-compassion confused with self-PITY. I didn’t…

In Part 2 of this series I dig deep into the link between our ‘ares’ and our DNA. I am working on a theory, ‘The Uniqueness Imperative’, that describes a link between who we are and our DNA. I’m starting to look at psychology from an evolutionary biology perspective. I…

KEW Are vs Should Interview Series: Dalton Johnson
This was a really fun interview. I hesitate to say that, because it implies that not all the interview are fun, but I’m saying it anyway. It’s kind of like when people say, ‘to be honest with you . . . ‘, because that implies they are sometimes dishonest. But…
Preview KEW Episode 73: What is Stress?
You think you know what stress is, but do you? I think the term ‘stress’ is oversimplified. Sure, sometimes just venting ‘I’m stressed!’ is helpful to get some of the negative energy out, let people know how you are generally feeling, or explain your behavior. But ‘stress’ is so overused,…
Preview KEW The Are vs Should Interview Series: Dalton Johnson
Ok, so I got pretty lucky (again) when Dalton Johnson agreed to be interviewed on KEW. Like Dawn Bates, I met Dalton in a facebook group that links podcast with potential interviewees. All I knew about Dalton is, again like Dawn, he seemed to live more in his ‘are’. From…
