New World NormalArranging Your (Own) DeathAuthor’s note for the head honchos: I really liked “Death Becomes Her” as a title! We’ve heard from many coaches on this podcast. Life coaches, finance coaches, business coaches, but who’s ever heard of a death coach? Everybody does it, but many of us get nervous when speaking about death. We still have plenty of years, why should we rush into all these gloomy documents? Today’s guest, Julia DeCaneva, sheds light on the stigma and offers solutions. Julia is a cancer survivor with a knack for organization. She spent some...

New World Normal19 Disrupting Capitalism with Nora RahimianSend us Fan Mail“To get something you’ve never had, you must do something you’ve never done.” We hear this phrase often, used in the context of relationships, business ventures, travels, and so forth. It applies well to this podcast, because if we want a new experience, we have to take risks. One phrase we hear a little less often is “anti-capitalist business coach.” Today’s guest, Nora Rahimian, is exactly that. Nora works with creatives and businesses, guiding them in a way that sounds counterintuitive at first. After all...

The Fully Mindful with Melissa ChureauDebbie Harrell and The Secret Sauce of The Collective GoodSend us a textIt's kind of crazy that we ever think we can do this thing called life alone. And yet we operate in this fantasy on the daily--with all sorts of negative consequences. We isolate. We fear. Or the opposite: We think we know it all, and well, we all know how that goes. One of the negative consequences of this "pull yourself up by the bootstraps---all on your own" mentality is that we kid ourselves into thinking everything is just fine, fine, fine (queue up Alanis Morisette for all you fell 90's music lovers...

New World Normal18 Recovering From Shame and AddictionSend us Fan MailAddiction is hard to approach in a discussion. Many of us have been in a situation where a conversation turns towards the topic and our instinct is panic. We might change the subject, we might nod politely, but we usually aren’t ready for this talk. The Normal we’ll be focusing on today is arguably as destructive as addiction itself: Shame. Our guest, Brianne Davis, shares her story and discusses what she’s been doing to combat the stigma. Brianne Davis is well-known for her illustrious Hollywood career, but she...

New World Normal17 The Climb to a Connected SoulSend us Fan MailIn Greek mythology, humans used to exist in literal pairs. Four arms, four legs, two heads, two hearts. Zeus separated them into the body as we know it today because he feared the power of a unified whole. This is an allegory for soulmates, but in modern society it almost seems to apply to individuals. We lose touch with ourselves. The white noise of society gets loud and it’s hard to hear our own inner voices. This disconnect can leave us feeling empty, exhausted, or even just “off.” Sound familiar? Then perhaps you co...

New World Normal16 Will Value - Based Spending Save Our Future?Send us Fan MailIt’s the root of all evil, but is it really? Money is like any scarce resource. It can inspire confusion, lies, fights, hoarding, and bring out the ugliest parts of humanity. However, money is ultimately a neutral force. Nobody can live without it, and most people would do wonderful things given enough money. However, in spite of its importance to all, our culture has an awkward time talking about it. Today’s guest would like to change that. Eileen Joy, the Money Coach for Moms, went from...

However, the unspoken expectation is that our truth needs to be beautiful on social media, it has to compare with other people’s truths, and it must represent the values of our employers. It’s a contradictory expectation, and we must grow beyond it. There’s a cognitive dissonance in our culture, and today’s guest is doing her best to disrupt that dissonance.Melissa Chureu is a neurodivergent attorney and life coach who has been doing groundbrea...

New World Normal13 Our Future is an ExpeditionSend us Fan MailWhen a problem is too big for an individual to handle, it’s easy to get stuck and to feel apathetic. For instance, we can commit to curbing our plastic use by eliminating straws. However, on an individual level we also understand that this choice is only our own. The rest of the world will keep using straws. What’s the point? This is why, in nature and in society, humans occasionally require support and a like-minded collective in order to accomplish big things. In today’s episode we speak w...

Back to the normal life of commuting away from our families, back to Monday through Friday spent under harsh fluorescent lights, back to the 9-5 grind that can absorb more time than “9-5” implies. With a taste of work-from-home independence, many have realized that “normal” wasn’t working for them. So what now?

New World Normal8 Stop playing Whack-a-Mole with your healthSend us Fan Mail“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”For years, the U.S. healthcare system has had this adage backwards. Every industry is more profitable with repeat customers, after all. The complicated insurance rigamarole and the surprise costs of a seemingly simple procedure add up and take their toll. If that wasn’t enough, patients commonly complain of brief, impersonal, and frustrating experiences with doctors. The demand to improve healthcare is nothing new. However, after two years of overwhelmed and understaffed hospitals, patients and doctors alike are taking an active...
