Press Release:
The Love Tank Helps Young Children Understand the Importance of Extending Kindness to Others
SAN DIEGO, California — When Andrea Mendoza-Vasconez’s 3-year-old daughter found her crying in response to news of a school shooting, the behavioral scientist struggled to find the words to answer her question: “What’s wrong?” Mendoza-Vasconez’s children’s book, The Love Tank, is her answer — and she hopes it will help other parents explain challenging concepts, too.
The book, written for children ages 4-8, guides children in imagining a superpower container inside their bodies that fills up with love. The story explains in gentle terms what can happen when someone’s love tank is full or empty and how children can fill their love tanks and help others to fill theirs too.
Mendoza-Vasconez recalls telling her daughter, “While there are no intrinsically ‘good’ or ‘bad’ people in this world, sometimes people do bad things and hurt others because they don’t have enough love in their own lives — their love tank is empty.” She further explained, “I always hug you, kiss you and tell you I love you because I want your love tank to be full so you can treat others with kindness and compassion.”
One of the goals of the book is to help parents explain why someone might harm others in a way that their children can understand. Additionally, the book helps children connect with important values such as empathy, compassion, gratitude and authenticity in a simpler manner.
The Love Tank, which has won many awards, including the prestigious 2024 Nautilus Award for Small Press Children’s Picture Books (silver), is the first in a series of three books, all dealing with socioemotional learning concepts. The other books in the series include The Gratitude Goggles, which guides children as they imagine a special pair of goggles that can appear by simply feeling gratitude; and The Puzzle Piece, which encourages children to imagine that the world is a gigantic puzzle, in which they are unique pieces.
Since The Love Tank was published, Mendoza-Vasconez has heard from many parents who have used it to help their children who have been bullied understand why. She hopes the book will continue to help children express love by brainstorming how they can fill others’ love tanks.

About the Author
Andrea Mendoza-Vasconez, Ph.D., is an award-winning children’s book author, a mother, a behavioral scientist, a teacher, an advocate and a storyteller. She was born and raised in Ecuador and moved to the United States at 18 to attend Connecticut College. After working as a television producer and middle school teacher, she returned to school to earn a master’s degree in public health from Claremont Graduate University and a doctoral degree in public health (Health Behavior) from UC San Diego and San Diego State University. She completed her postdoctoral training at Stanford University and served as an assistant professor at the Brown University School of Public Health.
When Mendoza-Vasconez became a mother, her love for writing led her to explore storytelling as a way to explain difficult and important topics to her daughter. She uses imagery to communicate concepts such as empathy, compassion, gratitude and authenticity. Eventually, she started writing these stories down and publishing them as picture books to share these messages with other children around the world.

Lyrics:
Awareness, self-love, and altruism
Set the stage for the highest mind, body, and soul health Words, thoughts, and actions Carry a vibrational frequency
And they inspire us moment to moment
Creativity fuels the soul
We all have our own unique Neurostyle
Our sensory perception
That’s unique and multi-dimensional
How do you access your playful self
Do you spend time in nature Do you pick up an instrument
Do you write a poem
How do you reach your own happiness
Gratitude is a key ingredient of staying in the moment of now
I devote this song to my father, John Cech who passed away after a short battle with liver cancer 9/11/2011. My father conquered his own addiction and remained sober for the last 32 years of his life. He guides me everyday. I love you and miss you Dad.

Did you know that 70% of all life long mental health challenges start before age 24?I get calls from many parents after the school year starts with many concerns, such as “My kid is homesick, depressed, anxious, or not focused.” It is important to know that most college campuses have student health centers and even provide a certain amount of no charge counseling. I suggest that you or your parents find out what your university has to offer. Usually the counseling provided is for normal adjustment to college as most colleges are not staffed to deal with higher acuity mental health challenges. Plan ahead for what you or your child needs and research medical referrals ahead of time. Make academic accommodations for your student if they have been receiving an individual education plan in high school before school starts or at freshman orientation week. Be proactive, not reactive for academic support and physical and mental health care.
What should I be aware of when going off to college?First of all, there is a normal adjustment period that can include feeling lonely, anxious, or disorganized. It is important that you have regular contact with your loved ones and your new college friends. Don’t isolate yourself. It is also important to remember that college is academically more challenging and that the first round of tests might not go as well as you hoped. Learn from this, and consider meeting with your teachers, forming a study group, getting a tutor, or meeting with a counselor.
There are many mind-medicine tools. Nutrition is important for physical and mental health. Follow good common-sense rules for eating. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Take a probiotic daily. And remember that sugar does not promote physical and mental wellbeing, so avoid it whenever possible. Get exercise and make sure to have fun, as laughter is the best medicine! Finding your mindfulness activity to keep you in the now reduces stress and improves your mental health. Sleep is crucial, have a regular waking and bed time. It is also a time when use of alcohol, marijuana and other substances happens and can result in abuse and addiction. Be safe, be legal and be aware of the physical and mental health issues that can develop.
If you or your child has a marked change in their personality, is isolating from others, academically failing, or abusing substances, those are signs that a mental health intervention is needed. One of the biggest challenges of getting someone to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist is the self-imposed and societal stigma of getting help.
“This can’t happen to me.” After Columbia University experienced seven suicide completions in a single school yea(2016/2017), student mental-health advocate Jacqueline Basulto shared her strategies for coping with her subtle depression with me on my June 2017 podcast(transcription). She shared how her depression led to a lack of joy and excitement, even in activities she had previously enjoyed. Support from her parents and her private psychiatrist were instrumental in saving her life.
If you or your child is at an out-of-state university, I recommend use your parental intuition, do not hesitate to check in with them, and visit them right away if you feel that they may need your help and guidance. And ongoing dialogue about their mental, physical, social, and academic lives is crucial for overall well-being.
Tips to remember* Don’t isolate yourself when you are feeling sad or anxious. Reach out to friends or loved ones. Seek professional help if needed. * Ask for academic accommodations if you qualify or consider dropping a class if you are too stressed. * Plan family and friend visits to have something to look forward to. * Avoid use of alcohol and other non-prescribed drugs. * Think of your nutrition as “mind medicine”. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Flaxseed is excellent for mental health. * Take a probiotic daily. * Exercise regularly. * Sleep is vital for mental health. Have a regular wake up time and bed time. * Take breaks from screen time and self regulate your exposure to negative news. * Practice gratitude and find your mindfulness style. * Have a mental wellness plan in place before you go to college and reevaluate regularly.
You are ready to go to college with these tips, tools and wellness strategies! I wish all of you love, prosperity, and good health.

Sacred Remembrance of Jeannie
Two little girls kneel over the mud pile- they are making their specialty- mud pies are so much fun to create. They are covered in mud, their sweaty hair sticky to their heads, but huge smiles wreath their faces. They join hands and pledge to be best friends forever. Those hands age over the years but they always find their way back to each other. In middle and high school, their lives divide but when things get really tough, the call in the middle of the night always goes to the other. Their adult lives move them into different locations, yet when they talk, it is as if no time has passed. Something happened in those early years over the mud piles, wild sledding snow days, church camp, and bike riding…..they became each other’s anchor. They each wanted to find ways to help other people. One became a nurse, the other a doctor. Yet, when they talked, they were just two little girls in adult bodies.
When mental illness hit my friend, I , as a psychiatrist, felt scared. I knew what was happening. I could see all the warning signs, and I could not control the progression. I tried to prepare her parents for what might happen and what I hoped to never witness. I got her into treatment. I asked for many favors for people to try to help her because I could only be her friend. It was not enough. My worst fears were realized…..my tow headed best buddy from the age of 4 was gone…..she hung herself because we had told all of the local gun stores to not sell her a gun. We thought we had protected her. It is only in a small town that you can get away with this type of protection. Yet, she believed that the only way that she could be free was to stand before Jesus and ask for forgiveness, so she decided to go and do that. Yet what she left behind….well, she left us journals that tried to explain her reasoning but only revealed her illness. For, in truth, none of us are better because she is gone.
Jeannie died by suicide on May 17th. That day is a day that changed the course of my life. I lost one of my anchors, one of the people who knew me as no one else will ever know me in my life. When she died, I promised myself that I would not let the way she died define who she was. She has and will always be my best buddy from my childhood, the keeper of my dreams and hopes. And, I will continue to carry her with me for the rest of my life. She still walks with her hand in mine- I just can’t feel it in real life anymore, but I know it is there. So, I talk about how she died because I feel like she was taken too soon from us all because of her mental illness, yet I want you to know that her life was so much more to me. I never thought that this is how the story of those two little girls would end. I will miss you forever, my friend.

Our words, thoughts and actions carry a vibrational frequency.
Choose wisely!
Repost 8/9/19
In my blog post entitled “Be Empowered! Our Words, Thoughts and Actions Matter” I discussed the power of words and how one FEELS when we use different words.
I wanted to share how I talk about the topic of profanity in my office as well as how I handle this topic in my own home.
Listen here:
https://content.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/1_19_24_Mindful_Profanity_.mp3MINDFUL PROFANITY STICKERS
In the show I mention that I love data and I appreciate this article in Quartz entitled, “A linguist’s love letter to profanity explains why it’s fine to curse around kids.” The article goes on to talk about UC SanDiego Professor of Cognitive Science, Benjamin Bergen’s scientific findings that he includes in “What the F: What Swearing Reveals About our Language, Our Brains, and Ourselves.”
When you read the article Professor Bergen explains that data is lacking on this topic as it is not easy to get parental consent for a controlled study exposing children to profanity.
“As for everyday four-letter words, there’s no scientific proof that exposing children to “ordinary profanity-four-letter words-causes any sort of direct harm: no increased aggression, stunted vocabulary, numbed emotions or anything else,” writes Bergen.
We need to remember that the words we choose are surrounded around by a context of circumstances in any situation.
A shout out expletive while being cut off in traffic can impulsively just happen, that is how my son learned the F Bomb from me.
Everything in life is an experience
We have daily opportunities to reflect, to teach, and to engage in discussion with our children about the quantity, quality and context in which words are used.
This is part of mindful parenting.
I brought up my 2018 fraud inspired “Don’t Fuck With My Kindness” mantra in the show. It is a phrase that you do not even need to say out loud, you can just choose to think it to yourself.
Creating your own mantra can serve as an emotional release of anger, fear, betrayal and can then be alchemized into “compassion in action” towards yourself or others in real time.
You can use the power and energy of any situation to “level up” and this may include or not include profanity.
“Be Loving. Be Kind!” Is my daily no profanity mantra that keeps me in the space of grace.
I reserve the use of the F-Bomb for specific occasions to allow a release of an intense emotion. I discuss this in my office, on my show and in my home.
Remember….
Our words, thoughts and actions are powerful. Being aware in the moment of the words we choose is a game changer. Choose wisely and with discernment.

Beverly has a passion for Teddy Bears, in all sizes, and actually has the moniker of “Bear Lady” to several hospitals within the area where she has donated plush toys for many years to the children who are hospitalized, especially during the holidays.

I AM grateful beyond words for this interview with author Jeff Golden.
I love the science meets spirit meets psychology integration of content that is academic, personal and inspirational in his prolific masterpiece Reclaiming the Sacred Healing Our Relationships with Ourselves and the World.
It was birthed after a reverent twelve year gestational period and is the grand prize winner Nautilus Book Awards.
“Drawing on the work of thousands of psychologists and economists, cosmologists and activists, saints and poets, Reclaiming the Sacred grounds us in our inherent joy, purpose and belonging, both for our own sakes and the sakes of all the people, plants, and creatures here with us.” -Jeff
Did you know that only 2-4% of our happiness is our material wealth? Mythbusting facts, statements and discussions are eloquently interwoven throughout the pages in a way that invites the reader to go on a journey of wondrous self reflection.
Jeff and I do a deep dive on the book with vulnerable shares and invite you to join us and think about what reclaiming your sacred means for you.

Sacred Remembrance of Jeannie
Two little girls kneel over the mud pile- they are making their specialty- mud pies are so much fun to create. They are covered in mud, their sweaty hair sticky to their heads, but huge smiles wreath their faces. They join hands and pledge to be best friends forever. Those hands age over the years but they always find their way back to each other. In middle and high school, their lives divide but when things get really tough, the call in the middle of the night always goes to the other. Their adult lives move them into different locations, yet when they talk, it is as if no time has passed. Something happened in those early years over the mud piles, wild sledding snow days, church camp, and bike riding…..they became each other’s anchor. They each wanted to find ways to help other people. One became a nurse, the other a doctor. Yet, when they talked, they were just two little girls in adult bodies.
When mental illness hit my friend, I , as a psychiatrist, felt scared. I knew what was happening. I could see all the warning signs, and I could not control the progression. I tried to prepare her parents for what might happen and what I hoped to never witness. I got her into treatment. I asked for many favors for people to try to help her because I could only be her friend. It was not enough. My worst fears were realized…..my tow headed best buddy from the age of 4 was gone…..she hung herself because we had told all of the local gun stores to not sell her a gun. We thought we had protected her. It is only in a small town that you can get away with this type of protection. Yet, she believed that the only way that she could be free was to stand before Jesus and ask for forgiveness, so she decided to go and do that. Yet what she left behind….well, she left us journals that tried to explain her reasoning but only revealed her illness. For, in truth, none of us are better because she is gone.
Jeannie died by suicide on May 17th. That day is a day that changed the course of my life. I lost one of my anchors, one of the people who knew me as no one else will ever know me in my life. When she died, I promised myself that I would not let the way she died define who she was. She has and will always be my best buddy from my childhood, the keeper of my dreams and hopes. And, I will continue to carry her with me for the rest of my life. She still walks with her hand in mine- I just can’t feel it in real life anymore, but I know it is there. So, I talk about how she died because I feel like she was taken too soon from us all because of her mental illness, yet I want you to know that her life was so much more to me. I never thought that this is how the story of those two little girls would end. I will miss you forever, my friend.

Introducing The Golden Thread!
What comes to mind when you say the words “The Golden Thread?”
When we pay attention to our words, thoughts and actions in the Moment Of Now and are in the Space of Awareness, Self Love and Altruism our unique Golden Tapestry is created.
Introduction:
https://content.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/The_Golden_Thread-2_22_23_8_21_AM.mp3Show Notes:8/18/15My ThoughtsMission Statement:I am aligned with being a Facilitator of Health and Wellness to help ALL KIND to reach their highest vibration and their highest self through a greater awareness of consciousness. I intend to continue to co-create with many ThoughtLeaders to integrate our thoughts to achieve a better planet and Universe.As If Goals :Meditation and Kindness will be a “natural part” of everyday life (just like brushing your teeth). This will raise the vibration of the planet exponentially.Society will accept that we all have intuition (in varying degrees), we are all connected and that we are naturally evolving as a species.Society will accept that there is abundance and we need to live in a way that respects our earth.We need to redefine many terms to allow all of us to keep an open mind and open heart to evolve and strive to be our best self.Examples: Intuitive not psychic. Wellness not Illness. Re-Order instead of DisOrder.I agree with the Dalai Lama. Compassion is the key. It starts with compassion for self and moves to compassion for family and friends to compassion for our communities—- to Our World—-to Our Universe. “All Sentient Beings”. His Holiness is including all beings on Earth and the Universe.Society will truly embrace compassion.Every M.D. and health care provider will be Universally addressing Mind, Body & Spirit to achieve wellness. It will be a part of every intake and treatment plan. An Integrative Wellness Plan with a nurse practitioner and social worker co-creating as first line of intake to present to the M.D..Mind Perspective“We are our thoughts”. “Thoughts change the World”. Everyone will truly embrace this concept as it will be part of our education system.As doctors we are “Facilitators of Wellness”. We can validate someone’s pain and suffering and let them know their Western Medicine Diagnosis. Define “Integrative Wellness Plan”Love yourself enough to take care of yourself and do not live from a fear based perception. I am not saying we as humans will never have fear, it is primal. Realize there are solutions to getting out of fear -based perceptions. They are limiting thoughts.Dr. Denise
William Stetson, Esq. gives us a window into the world of the delicate and dicey discussions he has with his clients and their families in estate and trust planning.

Are you ready to be inspired by Yogini Jaima’s description of her journey away from illness and ignorance to health, empowerment and love?
This interview is what I call a “kiss on the cheek from the UNIVERSE” as the mind, body, soul creative resonance is a match with past, present and future synchronicities.
I met Yogini Jaima for the first time on stage at Yoganandance directed by Michel Pascal.
Yogini Jaima is the spiritual actress that portrays a homeless person that finds hope and faith in God through the teachings of Yogananda in the immersive spiritual musical Yoganandance that is in residence in the LA Arts District right now.
After doing this interview and seeing her perform on stage I am humbled to witness a True Integration of Yogini’s Ascension Path of her life experiences.
Tune in as her journey away from dis-ease and to BEing At Ease is one we can all relate to in our own unique way:

I invite you to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. with Thomas Lane and I. I received an inspiring email that led to this interview on 1/16/23 recorded and released on MLK Day.
KING Music & Lyrics by Thomas Lane
In the Spring of '68, the bullets roseFrom a sea of hateIn Memphis Town,they gunned him down
And the hopes of a nation went underground
Blue skies full of holes, I cried beside the radioIt's all a lie, the King can’t dieBut there's blood in the shadowsMy world shattered like a window
Chorus
The days are hard, the journey seems so longI hear him calling, calling callingto carry on
Silent moon above the angry tideHis ghost looks back from the mountainsideA restless forceA riderless horseis standing neath the pale starsand stamping on the graveyard
Chorus
Musical Bridge
A garden grows in my back yardI walk out there when the wind blows hardA time for Spring, a time for kingsand I will stand on that Memphis streetand hear the triumph of his heartbeat
Chorus
The days are hard, I struggle to stay strongI hear him calling, calling to carry onThe work goes on, the dream will come to passI hear him calling, calling, calling... free at last
In Sacred Remembrance of Martin Luther King Jr.:
https://content.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/audio1904573434.m4aThe March on WashingtonMaybe like you, on my journey towards clarity, there have been moments in my life where conflict and trouble seemed to melt away, leaving nothing but a bright constellation of formerly broken pieces in alignment: sometimes magical, sometimes comical, always profound.There was a singular event that happened in my early teens when this experience occurred and became a North Star for my life. I was not alone. The same occasion impacted millions of others who bore witness to the spectacle: now etched in the history of our progress as a people –– simply referred to as The March on Washington.Racism. The word itself seems bitter on the tongue. Even as a child, growing up in a progressive household, I could feel my stomach tighten when the subject came up…an instinctual outrage erupting over the cruelty and injustice to our black brothers and sisters –– instigated by a poisonous gene in our nation’s DNA.These horrors were discussed frequently with my family at the dinner table. Particularly with my activist mother who, despite being a kind and compassionate woman, was privately a soul plagued by deep depressions who had lost the capacity for hope.But then it became 1963 –– that moment in time when the cultural Tsunami of the ‘60s was beginning to take shape –– gaining conviction as it crossed the globe, invading countries, disrupting the carefully mapped blueprints for lives of quiet desperation.This call for change came to me via books, music and Eastern thought. In wave after wave of new perspectives, it pounded against the thin shell of my white middle-class childhood, demanding something new and different; an activity, a state of mind…but remained formless until finally crystalizing into a single objective: join The March On Washington.On August 28th, 1963 I did so. Early that morning, a friend and I made the long journey from New Haven to DC. I didn’t inform my parents I was going. I simply made up a shore story… and went. My reasoning was simple and telling. I wanted to avoid my mother’s negativity tainting my experience.I tried brushing aside my guilt for this as I boarded the bus. But it accompanied me throughout the long bumpy ride.Much of the detail and circumstance have fled from memory. But what thundered across my world was the awesome fact that I was there! I had arrived! I was in Washington DC, taking a stand with brothers and sisters. Metaphorically speaking, I was joining a march that I had been part of, ever since the day I learned how to walk.Stepping down from the bus, I was immediately caught up in the jubilations of a kindred cause…the sight and sound of thousands and thousands of individuals flooding the National Mall…a pilgrimage transcending personal agendas to stand shoulder to shoulder with complete strangers….streaming down hills, stepping across roads to assemble in solidarity before a small stage cluttered with microphones and officials –– all overseen by the watchful eye of the Lincoln Memorial.And there we were. Carrying banners, singing gospels and folksongs with purposeful joy that spread across this diversity of the human spirit …swollen with this moment of unity.Thereafter, the inspiration rained down… talks by John Lewis and Roy Wilkins, performances by Mahalia Jackson, Marian Anderson, Peter, Paul & Mary, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez …to name a few. All setting the stage in emotional crescendo, to introduce me to the man who would become mentor and hero…the Rev. Martin Luther King. It was here that he gave his “I have a dream” speech…solidifying his meaning for this moment in time; that would echo his messages to us for generations to come. I listened with my heart as he guided us through his vision, his commitment to peace and brotherhood…and his call from the mountain top…free at last, free at last! It was an epiphany for me…the puzzle had called its pieces, letting my inner, troubled fragments settle into something whole and lit.Somewhere, during this moment, I spotted a woman, sitting alone beside the Reflecting Pool, looking out on the Washington Monument. Somehow familiar? Stepping closer, I recognized and approached. Standing behind her, smiling with tears in my eyes, I reached around my mother’s thin frame, and cupped her eyes with my hands. In a shaky voice I said,…”Guess who?”She didn’t have to guess, Without a word, she reached out to touch my hand with her hand…a mother’s tenderness, then turned sideways to catch my eye. The look that passed between us over a half century ago is still traveling within me now as I write these words.Thomas Lane 1/10/22Thomas Lane

Happy New Year!
Wow… I received a “good news text” from Gary last night that evolved into a spontaneous inspiring interview.
Gary Goodridge (aka ‘Big Daddy’) is a nine-time world champion arm wrestler; a boxing champion; a lethal Ultimate Fighting Championship contender; and a renowned Mixed Martial Arts warrior. In Japan in the MMA world he was a celebrity compared to Michael Jordan. In early 2012, he was diagnosed with early onset of dementia and due to his many brain injuries, he also lives with depression.
2023 UPDATE:
Gary has not only overcome his mental health struggles with depression he is maintaining his current cognition!
His inner circle and team of Angels that he has DEEP Gratitude for include:
Sharon Goodridge (Sister), Susie (Sister)Cindy Mckeown (Life Partner)Josephine Isele – African Queen & Business PartnerHis entire family!Gary was recently inducted into the Barrie Hall of Fame in Canada!He is now President of the AFC (African Fight Club) in partnership with Josephine Isle and will be spending half of his year in Canada and half in Africa.Can you say CHAMPION MINDSET?Listen here and BE INSPIRED:
https://content.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/audio1935934004.m4aFun Fact: BIG DADDY was my first guest ever!
June 24. 2016 interview.
Protect Your Brain Dr. Denise Post 6/24/2016:
“Dr. Denise, you need to see the movie, Concussion, with Will Smith. It depicts exactly what I have experienced living with depression and dementia, ” encouraged Gary Goodridge, legendary MMA UFC and Pride fighter. That is exactly what I did before interviewing him this week. I didn’t stop there. I read his book “Gatekeeper: The Fighting Life of Gary ‘Big Daddy” Goodridge”, researched the NFL’s as well as the MMA’s policies on dealing with head injury, and read countless articles on CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephelopathy). In 2012 Gary was diagnosed with early onset dementia and depression and his doctors said that he was exhibiting symptoms similar to other professional athletes that on autopsy were diagnosed with CTE.
What is CTE? Dr. Bennet Omalu and colleagues in the Department of Pathology at University of Pittsburgh together published in the journal Neurosurgery in 2005 an article called, “Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in a National Football League Player.” Dr. Omalu’s autopsy of former Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Webster in 2002 revealed large accumulations of tau protein in Webster’s brain, affecting mood, emotions, and executive functions similar to the way clumps of beta-amyloid protein contributes to Alzheimer’s.
According to the Brain Injury Research Institute founded by Dr. Julian E. Bailes, M.D.,Dr. Bennet Omalu M.D. and Robert P. Fitzsimmons in 2002 ( protectthebrain.org ):
“Since the 1920’s the term dementia pugilistica or “punch-drunk“ syndrome has been known as it has occurred in boxers. Dementia pugilistica is actually a variant of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is itself a serious type of brain damage resulting from repeated concussions and is found in many professional athletes and military personnel who have been subjected to multiple impacts to the head.
Severe concussions and mild traumatic brain injury are both capable of causing CTE, and the likelihood of developing this condition is increased with the number of impacts.”
“Big Daddy”, Gary Goodridge has a true samurai spirit both in and outside of the ring. He reports his medication is helping with aggression and depression. He has been given cognitive strategies to help him keep sharp with his recent cognitive decline: keeping a day planner to help with short-term memory and maintaining structure to his day. Walking his dogs, and spending time with his daughters and family give him the most joy. “The gym really helps me~my own workouts as well as teaching children keeps me inspired.” He spoke about this on the interview. He also spoke about the need for rest in between fights and other tips he thinks could have helped him to minimize repeated head trauma. “I would have had second thoughts about fighting if I knew then what I would be experiencing now,” he mentioned during another discussion. He and I spoke about his desire to provide for his family as well as his natural ability as a fighter keeping him engaged in the sport. Gary’s love of his daughters and his desire to be a role model and advocate for mental health awareness is giving him the hope and inspiration to fight on while living with depression and dementia.
In Discover’s July/August 2016 article by Jeff Wheelwright, “Ahead of the Hit,” it was pointed out that the science is still gray on CTE and predicting the effects of impacts. Dr. Ann McKee and her group at Boston University continue to define and help with the consensus of the definition of the neurodegenerative disorder CTE.
In my professional opinion as a Mother and as a Doctor my consensus opinion is “Protect your brain and your child’s brain.” That is it. It is common sense.
- Avoid or minimize head trauma.
- Avoid or minimize substance use.
- Seek out treatment for mental health and focus on lifestyle habits that promote well-being.
- If you or your child play a contact sport and are having any changes in behavior or changes in cognition contact your physician at early onset to prevent any long-term neurodegenerative consequences.
Routine physicals are mandatory for optimal health.
Our children need us to be advocates for their health and well being. If we can encourage participation in sports and extracurricular activities that minimize head trauma and concussions we are doing our job to protect our children.
Thank you, Gary Goodridge for sharing your story, you have taught me a lot and have inspired me in many ways. Twitter: @GaryHGoodrich

It is a time of reflection for us to start our year and continue our own unique ININ, “In Integrity” of the highest level of awareness and self love to reach our unique mind, body & soul wellness.

The “Empath Haven Effect” is defined with tangible examples of the importance of mindful pauses and time outs that refresh us and reduce stress to enjoy our life and accomplish our goals.

Lists, papers, tablets, laptops, guidelines, timelines, “line-lines,” each one in its own right a practical method for creating a clear path to personal organization and productivity with the end-result in crossing out or deleting “lines.”
Integrity is integral in addressing the linear and establishing a bases that stimulates balance. The simple action of moving forward with each task is quite satisfying especially when you can see those tasks completed in the physical form, which also may be the mental filing cabinet, transparent yet solid in belief.
Satisfaction, after all, is Nebulous yet decided felt.
Is LINEAR always a straight line? Definitely Not. It is action-oriented, multifaceted, multidirectional, moving and functioning in many layers, sometimes simultaneously.
It is the discipline of honoring yourself with an Earnest desire to complete, and get out of the way, tasks that are humdrum, yet are required to keep us on a path of straightness to Achieve harmony and balance in the reality of day-to-day existence. Really!
Satisfaction, relief, joy, and the Reward of personal accomplishment is an end-result that is further recognized within our consciousness that feeds and nurtures Positivity. It might even be Healing. I know it is for me!

how we are all beautiful works in progress, until the day we die. At our best and our

“Most Days”
No matter what I say
I know I’m breathing and
That should be enough for me
Most days, it calms my mind down
Some days, it freaks me out
All I know I can say
Is that my feet don’t always
Hold me to the ground
More than unlikely
They let me fly
But I don’t want wings if they are shaky
They lift me high
But most days, I’m afraid of heights
They let me fly
But most days, I’m afraid of heights
They lift me high
But I don’t want wings if they are shaky
Most days, most days, most days
Most days, most days, I’m afraid of
Most days, most days, most days
Most days, most days, I’m afraid of
Keep it to myself, and it becomes a mess
Oh
All I know I can say
Is that my feet don’t always
Hold me to the ground
No
They let me fly
But I don’t want wings if they are shaky
They lift me high
But most days, I’m afraid of heights
They let me fly
But most days, I’m afraid of heights
They lift me high
But I don’t want wings if they are shaky
Most days, most days, most days
Most days, most days, I’m afraid of
Most days, most days, most days
Most days, most days, I’m afraid of

Oh

https://content.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/audio1497899574.m4aThe Karma Factor By Thomas Lane
Captivating Thriller Pierces the Genre with a Cascade of Unworldly Events Surrounding an NYPD Cop and His Serial Killer Target, Revealing the Mysteries of Human Existence Through an Extraordinary Twist of Fate
Forced to Straddle Alternative Realities, a Blue Collar Cop Must Evolve Beyond His Badge, Overcoming His Own Dark Past in Gripping Modern Fable
LOS ANGELES, CA NOVEMBER 1, 2022 – Author, poet and musician Thomas Lane debuts his first novel, The Karma Factor, a work of visionary fiction exploring the boundaries of human consciousness against the backdrop of a classic suspense thriller. With a purpose that transcends the genre, Lane expertly weaves the novel’s wider message in a ground-breaking, white-knuckle ride between worlds, as characters set out to make karmic amendments, right wrongs and re-establish the power of choice.
Haunted by a nameless guilt, tired of running from his demons, NYPD detective James Early decides to end his life. Taunting an armed suspect into blind fury, he makes himself an easy target. But the bullets fired at
point blank range are mysteriously diverted. There is no
blood and no wounds. Instead of the end, Early finds himself, miraculously, at the beginning of a long and arduous quest to solve the riddle of the missing bullets and the search for meaning: “If I’ve been given some kind of reprieve…what in God’s name am I supposed to do with it?”
The Karma Factor flips the good-versus-evil theme on
its side as it traverses the ages, interlacing past lives
with present, on a hero’s quest for redemption. Lane
juxtaposes veteran city detectives and an elusive serial
killer with a visionary monk sequestered in an
abandoned monastery in the Tibetan Himalayas. When protagonist Early sets out to uncover the mysterious force that saved his life, he discovers that, in his previous lifetime, he had been part of a secret mission. Led by a Tibetan sage, a team of advanced thinkers had gained access to the Akashic Records, a repository of every soul’s thoughts, deeds and actions through time. Their goal? To use these records to locate key individuals’ unhandled karma in the past––and help those souls be accountable for their misdeeds. The mission’s ultimate challenge would be to restore an awareness of possibilities, unburdened by the past, to a world engulfed by denial and fear.
Lane adds a unique perspective to the genre: “I see the world as a place of grit and suffering and magic. I wanted to capture those contrasting elements, show them as parts of a whole when viewed through a lens that is vast and kind and timeless. Although the story revolves around a cop and a serial killer, the book is fundamentally about hope––a hope that understands both bullets and prayers, and the path that goes beyond.”
Thomas Lane
Raised in Connecticut, Thomas Lane is a multi-dimensional creative drawn to spaces where art, spirit, and social justice intersect. He is the author of The Artists’ Manifesto, a tribute to the power of the arts and its value to a society that has forgotten the precious nature of life.
In addition to creating a collection of poetry, screenplays and paintings, he recently recorded a CD of his songs, entitled Hotel Earth under the stage name Trakker.
Politically active since his teens, Thomas subsequently created The Helen Hudson Foundation, a nonprofit focused on social issues including homelessness, racism and the environment. He currently lives with his wife in Rhode Island.
Accolades:

~ Robert Thurman, Professor Emeritus of Tibetan Buddhism, Translator for the Dalai Llama and Author of Wisdom Is Bliss
“An enchanted window into the history of the world that shifts the way everything is seen.”
~ David O. Russell, Writer, Director, Producer: The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle
“A masterful story about the subtle nuances that surround the choices we make in life and how these choices ripple outward into the larger fabric of our existence.”
~ Marc Forster, Film Director: Monster’s Ball, Finding Neverland, The Kite Runner
“Karma Factor is both a large world story and a deeply personal one that explores the power of human consciousness. Simply put, it is a must-read.”
~ Renée Wolfe, Writer, Producer: Christopher Robin, All I See Is You

Rocking A Betrayal

She said the trauma brought about suicidal thoughts and made it difficult to return to the famed USA Gymnastics training facility formerly run by Bela Karolyi where much of the abuse occurred.” ~7/28/2021 New York Post

Jennifer works with law enforcement nationwide on
missing person cases.
For the past five years, Jennifer and I have met weekly.
(Those transcripts are in the books “Backstage Pass to the
Flipside” 1, 2 and 3)
During the pandemic, we decided to start a podcast….
We have done over 60 to date…
In the books “Backstage Pass to the Flipside” we
interview anyone “who comes to our class…”
The class includes people I knew who are no longer on the
planet, people my friend Luana Anders knew who
moderates our conversations with the Flipside.
Luana was in over 300 TV shows and films, she knew a lot
of people, and they often show up to chat….
As a film director, former music critic for Variety, I knew
a lot of people who are in the industry….
Our chats include quite a few people of notoriety….
But as Jennifer notes often; “there is no hierarchy on the
flipside.”
So while we may have interviewed a myriad of famous
people, we also interview friends, family, strangers…
The interviews are often mind bending, but my questions are
based on a decade of filming people under hypnosis. In this
podcast we “interview an Akashic librarian.”
While under hypnosis, people say the same things about the
afterlife that people who are not under hypnosis say.
Having filmed 100 people with or without hypnosis saying
the same things, I ask Jennifer questions about that process…
Jennifer has done 100s of sessions and asking her questions
is like having a literal “cellphone to the flipside.”
What makes our podcast unique is that she reports the same
answers about process no matter who we ask questions to….
The same answers that I’ve gotten from speaking to them
via hypnotherapy, meditation or another medium.
Jennifer hears, sees, senses the same information I’ve
filmed people saying while under deep hypnosis.
It’s a way to understand our current journey; by “Hacking
the Afterlife” we get confirmation that life goes on.
“The librarian” answered questions about process.
What the Akashic library is.
How anyone can access that information.
Jennifer and I have been doing this for over 5 years.
The podcast is a culmination of both of our experiences
with the flipside….
What do white-tipped eyelashes, French toast sticks and MILs all have in common? They epitomize the respect, patience and joy that can fill a Reverent Relationship! In this episode of The Ascension Show, the team walks us through the Universal Truth of Reverence and how it can mean very different things to different folks. Remember Dr. Denise’s term — “neurostyle” — well, it has a big role in relationships. We also talk about when to call it quits on a relationship, as Jennifer puts it, “When to LEARN and RUN!” Plus unseen energy and your very own #ReverenceAssignment.

Consensuality. What is it? You technically won’t find it in the dictionary, but it should be there, right after “consensual.” Why? It’s the enlightened, next level way that humans respond to each other with reverence and respect. In this episode our doctors weigh in how #CONSENSUALITY plays prominently in their practices. We walk through developmental stages and talk about a parent’s role in educating on body boundaries and the teenage years which are full of technology. Learn about the Billboard Litmus Test! Plus, #CONSENSUALITY in the grown-up world of dating and coupling — setting limits while not ditching the fun! We get serious too, but it’s a fun episode. And you won’t want to miss the kiss face emoji talk!

It’s a frank, yet laughter-filled show as “The Ascension Show” team tackles the powerful emotion of shame. We explore the religious programming and generational overlay that can be intertwined in this subject. But our Dr. Denise reminds us what a privilege it is to feel shame’s feelings — as we are human and our all our feelings are miracles! We dig deep on epigenetics, divorce and sacred sexuality. And the crew keeps it real with walk of shame talk. Ever hear of a booty bag, curfew bag, hookeratzzi bag? Well you will now! #Honoryourfeelings #Shameless

The Ascension Show Season 2.5
“OUR Gift of Reflection”
OUR Gift of Reflection is part of an on-going, communal process that heightens awareness. In this episode we talk about why modern day society is so stressed out. Because we just do frenetic mode, we don’t look back and reflect. Here’s the reminder to do it and how to do it! We’ll talk about how #SELF-CARE is the new Cool. And we also learn just where those adrenals are and the big job they’re doing inside your sacred body. We give a huge shout out to the pulse of Consciousness. With a look back at the year in headlines, we hit all the senses. The crew is vulnerable, transparent and accessible. It’s time to move on… knowing reflection comes from inside the heart — the mind — and the body.

Dr. Denise and Dr. Best Deep Dive on Harry and Meghan’s Interview with Oprah.
The Royal Family Meets The Matrix. Which royals chose the red pill vs the blue pill? Is Harry woke? Was Meghan trapped? Listen to our On Alchemy podcast, “Trapped Within The System” to hear our thoughts about the interview and The Whys. Why the world fascination? Why the verbal and written attacks on this couple? Why the anger, the fear, the funny memes even? Hear our perspectives as women, mothers, doctors, psychiatrists, as a woman of color, as a mother of a mixed-race child. What triggered us, and others. You’ll hear thoughts on how Meghan and Harry’s experiences reflect many of our own. Also, what do our kids say about that interview? How do we share emotional distress to get the help we need? And much more, including race, family, the history of the royal family, colonization, healing, the now and paradigm progression. With self- examination and checking the pulse of consciousness, we elevate the questions. And always, with some levity. The red pill… or the blue. Which one? Listen:

Liberation, feeling free, getting past Covid — the themes of freedom and liberation keep coming up with our Ascension Show team. So we thought, what better topic for our show. We’re going to teach you the things we need to do prior to feeling liberation. You’ll learn about the #RELEASE and climb up the emotional ladder (AKA: #Fuckit) that’s needed prior to freedom. Imagine ditching your anger, your guilt, your shame. Ahhhhhh! Liberation relates to parenting, dating, race, spirituality — it touches all corners of our lives — and it sure can be elusive. That’s why we’ll be talking the Pulse of Consciousness as we hunt freedom down #TOGETHER!!

What happens when one realizes one show alone, The Ascension Show, cannot possibly address the week’s topic “Liberation”, especially during Black History Month? Well, you produce another show on your platform that does, a show that addresses the feelings, triggers and questions around that word.
This week, on the On Alchemy show, Dr Denise and I address your (and our) questions, feelings, triggers around the topic “Liberation”. Listen to hear how to Alchemize, how to handle thoughts and feelings to then feel and Be Free, Liberated. We tackle the challenging questions: How do you feel Liberation, in this country, if you’re a person of color? How do we all effectively talk about, create, and experience Freedom? How do we give ourselves permission to Feel Free, Liberated… when the evidence around us appears to point to the opposite? Racism and inequality may be a daily reality that prevents freedom for some. The pandemic that isolates us, a collective reality, certainly doesn’t promote the feeling of freedom. Then also, Anxiety and Fear seem to whisper to many that there’s not enough of what we need, not enough to share. That doesn’t feel like freedom. For some others, who are not experiencing any discrimination, restrictions or suffering … we talk about steps to remove guilt about the enjoyment of things, importance of altruism/speaking up for others, and ways to give yourself permission to Feel Free To Feel Good. The path to Liberation. That’s what we’re for and about this week. Join us as we share our respective journeys and tips for Liberation. ~ Dr. Andrea Best Listen here: https://media.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/content.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/recording-1_postproductions_2021-02-24-t11-32-02am-final-mix.wav
Ever been instructed to do something, and it just didn’t feel right? That’s because it wasn’t true to your authentic self — and we’ve got no time for that! We’re here to #EMPOWER & #ELEVATE and speak loving truth! It’s truly a don’t-miss episode! Just as we tackle the topic of elevating our parenting styles, the children of Jennifer and Dr. Denise serendipitously give us real-time examples of how to activate the greatness in our children and ourselves. Our special guest this week, Sara Mayo-Rex, shares the philanthropic works she does with teenagers which shows them how to tap into their inner strength and work altruistically, boosting their own loving truth. You’ll learn how your body and cells work together to lift up, rise up and elevate. And how that still, small voice inside you — grounds you — and #ELEVATES. Plus, we’ve got the Rosa Parks look, how not to do a photo-shoot and lots of laughs! The Ascension Show team wishes you #ELEVATION!

The Ascension Show is Celebrating the Strength of the Human Spirit. We get scientifically geeky talking about what our body actually does to make itself strong. Think epigenetics, but explained in a way we can actually understand! We look at what the Universal Truth of #STRENGTH means in all its shapes and forms. We also talk about using our awareness to figure out if a vulnerability is actually our own or if we are taking on someone else’s energy. You don’t have to pray to God, if that triggers you. We’ll learn how else we can pray for #STRENGTH. And, we will delve into finding #STRENGTH in speaking your own personal truth.

“No Regrets” — that’s the battle cry from Helen Kruskal who just celebrated her 100th birthday.! In this episode of the Dr. Denise Show, we hear from this centenarian who takes that old phrase “laughter is the best medicine” and turns it up a notch to “Love is the best medicine.” Grandma Helen is joined by her grandson Howard Flamm, a natural health practitioner who operates wellness centers in the West. Joining the discussion is journalist Cathleen O’Toole. You’ll hear how Helen’s humble upbringing in 1920s and 1930s New York City was infused with familial love, music and creativity. Grandma Helen and Cathleen muse on the immigrant experience — why a banana and its peel could become fodder for a family story that will be passed down for generations. Howard reminds us of his grandparents’ motto: “Leave things to look forward to.” Grandma Helen and her straight-shooter approach will teach you what not to do as you age and how finding the people with “love in their heart” will enrich your life and longevity more than you’ll ever now.

From Howard Flamm, Grandson of Helen:
Helen Kruskal‘s parents immigrated from the area of modern day Belarus and arrived in the US just a couple years before the pandemic of 1918. Europe was going thru the 1st World War. The family was lucky to be able to hop a ship to the United States. They had quotas on immigrants here in America. And the quota for men had already been reached.Helen’s Father, Izzy, was dressed up as a woman for entrance to America when the ship arrived at Ellis Island. Low & behold… he got through!
Helen, the oldest of 3, was born in 1920. So she wasn’t around for the pandemic. Her Mother, Ida, didn’t really talk about it. They had only been in U.S. for a few years at that point. Likely, they were just so happy to be living in America… that nothing could get them down!
It was humble beginnings, as Helen was born in a lower-Manhattan neighborhood in New York City. Then, later, they moved to the Bronx, N.Y. There were 8 family members (immediate & extended ) sharing a 2 bedroom / 1 bath apartment. THAT’S RIGHT!!! 8 adults shared ONE BATHROOM. They had no phone/ no T.V. (it wasn’t invented yet)/ & certainly no computer. There were definitely sacrifices on accommodations and privacy. Bu, t hey were happy and didn’t necessarily believe that anything of material value would be a missing piece of happiness. They were happy with meager belongings, as they were poor, but were surrounded by love and family. Even the toys the kids played were simple, Grandma Hellen remembers, “a spoon & a bottle cap” as providing hours of fun. Neither of Helen’s parents ever drove a car; they would walk, or her father would take the subway to go to work.
Helen’s husband, Bernie, passed in 1987. Together, they owned a wedding ring manufacturing business in New York City. Her grandson Howard, learned so much about entrepreneurship from living and working with his grandparents each summer as a teenager. It was truly an unforgettable and invaluable experience. He parlayed that experience into starting several health and wellness centers, children’s book publishing business, and a feature film production company.
Helen and Bernie believed in working hard. But as avid travelers, always had a grand vacation planned, often times one year out. They would shut down their sole-proprietor jewelry business and head out on an adventure each summer. That included driving thru Europe for seven weeks, doing it three consecutive years! Driving cross-country. Throughout Mexico. And, many airline trips in the 1950’s, when most people at that time had never been on a commercial airline.
In her 40s and 50s, Helen took classes in the craft of oil painting. She painted dozens and dozens of beautiful still life and landscape portraits still hanging in many family members’ homes today. She also played tennis for many, many years. In her 80s, she travelled to both China and Israel and has been on more than 10 cruises, mostly throughout the Caribbean in her later years.
Helen has three daughters, split between New Jersey/Washington D.C./and South Florida, along with four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
She loves Broadway plays, watching game shows, New York deli and most of all — surrounding herself with the love of family.
Today she lives in her own home. In New Jersey, just under an hour from the city. It’s part of an over 55+ community. Before changes with the quarantine, she’d drive and go out with a group of ladies to dinner and the movies. They’d never talk about their age (or health problems, that’s a rule they keep). They probably think Helen is about 83 ?
For her hundred birthday, the family surprised her with a Zoom video party. About 50 family members and close friends watched an incredible video montage that was produced by many well-wishers. Lots of cake and food was served at her place in New Jersey. The gala affair was the next best thing to being there.
We all have days, moments or times in our life when we want to rest, create, dream, relax and take our own unique pause.
Right?
The Ascension ladies thought as a collective we do not talk enough about how we actually adapt and make that happen when we need it the most. Dr. Denise suggested that we take a week off from filming and during the production meeting a few of us thought why not do a short and sweet show about “The Pause…”

GIFT: Partnerships for Change’s Lama Tenzin’s Orphanage
21% of the price you pay.
Lama Tenzin Choegyal from the Dolpo Region of the Himalayas is an unassuming hero for lost and forgotten children. He is known to trek 10 hours/day for 20 – 30 days while climbing over altitudes of 18,000 feet of treacherous conditions. He finds the children who have been cast from their homes due to spiritual beliefs or neglect and brings them to his orphanage. There, he has created a safe and loving home where they grow and flourish, and have access to private school education and professional opportunities. He is embarking on a new project called the “PinkPad.” Women in the villages are often sent away during their menses and have no access to any comforts. He is raising money for the equipment to manufacture and package supplies that the girls at the orphanage will help design and distribute.

True Adventure — how do we inject it into our lives? What does it really mean? The crew at The Ascension Show is thrilled to tackle this uplifting subject. And to ramp up the fun, we invite best-selling author Amy Newmark of Chicken Soup for the Soul series fame along for the ride. We’re going to be jumping off cliffs, swimming with sharks — but we’ll also find the adventure in everyday life. From dreaming about travel to the benefits of saying yes, we take #ADVENTURE into areas you might not have pondered. Tough to find adventure in a pandemic you might be thinking; we’ve got a recipe for that, too! Stay with us for the whole show as Amy gives us an adventure assignment that we can all do — to infuse new experiences, joy and an extra dose of appreciation into the moment.

Kara started with community involvement in elementary school with a nonprofit called SPEAK, where she worked with teens at Google headquarters. At the onset of middle school she organized March For Our Lives and had a zoom call with Elizabeth Warren related to this organization in Spring of 2020.
After the murder of George Floyd Kara Best was on “How To Talk With Kids About Race In America/Nightly News:Kids Edition” with Lester Holt.
Kara made her first appearance on the “On Alchemy” series Summer 2020 after she had participated in peaceful protests in Santa Monica.
I was so impressed by her presence, her light, her perspective that I asked her to be a part of the Ascension team of Ascension Media as our “Beacon of Change.”
When I was watching the inauguration this morning and listening to Amanda Gorman I thought “I wonder what 15 y/o Kara is thinking and feeling right NOW?”
Let’s find out:
https://media.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/content.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/recording-1_postproductions_2021-01-20-t07-09-18pm-final-mix.mp3 ***Kara and I were both so inspired and referenced this in the show:
“My Granddaughter, Amanda Gorman, has been selected to read one of her original poetry works at the Biden/Harris Inauguration on January 20. Such a proud day. Our family – from slavery to the podium of a Presidential Inauguration.” ~Vill Harmon
Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman moved the country with her poem “The Hill We Climb” during today’s inauguration. Here is an excerpt: “We will not march back to what was, but move to what shall be—a country that is bruised, but whole, benevolent, but bold, fierce, and free. We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation. Our blunders become their burdens. But one thing is certain, if we merge mercy with might and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s birthright.”
Ever been on hard on yourself? Angry that you’re always so fidgety, so worried, so off-beat, so… whatever? Maybe you’ve gotten a mental health diagnosis from a doctor and you felt shame as the news was delivered. This episode is for you — we are learning to Embrace our Neurostyle! What is this neurostyle, you ask? Our Dr. Denise created the term and defines it as, “The unique way we process and perceive the world around us.’ This term can be helpful and inspirational. As the world makes gains in the way we handle mental #wellness, there’s so much baggage with words we use to describe the way our brains work. “I’m so OCD.” “Oh, he’s bi-polar.” It’s stigmatizing. In this show we’ll talk about how neurostyle gives us a fresh new way to talk about the way we process things, be it biologically, psychologically, socially, culturally or spiritually. Dr. Denise and Dr. Andrea Best will discuss how traditional diagnostic terms still play an important role in their practices, but how “neurostyle” has been liberating for many. We hear from neuropsychologist Deborah Ely Budding, author Kirk Miller and lifestyle medicine educator Dr. Beth Frates. And we challenge one another to Embrace Your Neurostyle!

The Ascension Show Season 2 Episode One
Hope in Motion
- New Year. New Hope. The crew here at “The Ascension Show” is putting Hope in Motion. In this first episode of our second season, we shine the spotlight on our anchor Cathleen O’Toole. As a former television news reporter Cathleen walks us through some of the stories and tragedies she covered when it seemed all hope was lost — yet there it grew — hope in motion from the ashes. The team also, in real time, manages the emotions that came from the Chaos at the Capitol that happened hours before taping. We learn about mindful ingestion of the news, civility and the strength one can find in a tribe that elevates and hovers in the world of love not hate. Keep a close eye/ear out for Jennifer Shaffer’s tutorial on how to use the beauty of vibrating, vivid color to inject hope into that tough situation you’re dealing with. We are thrilled to have you along for the ride as we put a shot of #ASCENSION into 2021!

- We’ve seen all the jokes, memes, and more serious desperation for this year like no other to be behind us. But, what if we were to shift and look at the year through a different lens? That’s what the team at the Ascension Show is doing for you! We find the GRATITUDE, INTEGRITY, AWARENESS, ALTRUISM, INTEGRATION, UNITY and ASCENSION in what seemed like the endless months of 2020. It’s a perspective we suspect you won’t find anywhere else. Each of our anchors walks us through a collective experience where the world came together, rose up, tapped in and worked for the common good. It really happened in 2020. We talk about Crisis=>Stabilization=>Thrive and climbing up The Emotional Ladder. Tears, applause, unicorns. It’s all here in our last show of the year! Join us to take a look at the year we think we know, we look closer and discover the GRATITUDE and JOY that was with us all year long. #InspireALL #HappyNewYear

Adventure.
Inspiration.
Infinite possibilities.
Words that come to mind as I am about to launch this interview!
Are you ready to meet Amy Newmark and hear about her latest book, “Age Is Just a Number, 101 Tales of Humor and Wisdom for Life After 60?”
Listen here:
https://media.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/content.blubrry.com/thedrdeniseshow/recording-1_postproductions_2020-12-16-t09-46-01am-final-mix_1_.mp3 Amy Newmark is the bestselling author, editor-in-chief, and publisher of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series. Since 2008, she has published more than 170 new books, most of them national bestsellers in the U.S. and Canada, more than doubling the number of Chicken Soup for the Soul titles in print today. She is also the author of Simply Happy, a crash course in Chicken Soup for the Soul advice and wisdom that is filled with easy-to-implement, practical tips for enjoying a better life.
Amy is credited with revitalizing the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand, which has been a publishing industry phenomenon since the first book came out in 1993. By compiling inspirational and aspirational true stories curated from ordinary people who have had extraordinary experiences, Amy has kept the twenty-seven-year-old Chicken Soup for the Soul brand fresh and relevant.
Amy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University where she majored in Portuguese and minored in French. She then embarked on a three-decade career as a Wall Street analyst, a hedge fund manager, and a corporate executive in the technology field. She is a Chartered Financial Analyst.
Her return to literary pursuits was inevitable, as her honors thesis in college involved traveling throughout Brazil’s impoverished northeast region, collecting stories from regular people. She is delighted to have come full circle in her writing career—from collecting stories “from the people” in Brazil as a twenty-year-old to, three decades later, collecting stories “from the people” for Chicken Soup for the Soul.
When Amy and her husband Bill, the CEO of Chicken Soup for the Soul, are not working, they are visiting their four grown children and their grandchildren.
Follow Amy on Twitter @amynewmark. Listen to her free podcast, The Chicken Soup for the Soul Podcast, on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, the Podcasts app on iPhone, or by using your favorite podcast app on other devices.
It’s been a tough year. One that’s left so many of us to deal with a loss. Whether it’s a major loss, like that of a loved one and we’re reeling — or the quieter kind of loss, of a way of life, socialization, security — we are left to cope all the same. Our Ascension Show team is there with you. We’ve lost too. As Host Jennifer Shaffer tells us, “Don’t try to get over this, just co-exist with it.” Drs. Andrea Best and Denise McDermott will talk about all the losses their seeing with patients in their medical practices. And we’ll also delve into the concept that Loss is Personal. And your loss is, as Dr. Denise always says, “Divinely f**ked up, perfect.” Dr. Best will lead us on a Mindful Moment. And Ascension Medium Jennifer will tap into the New Normal and see how our ancestors can help us deal with loss this time of year.

Dr. Denise and the Hansens muse on everything from questions for the Dali Lama to the 267 questions Mark made sure he got answered before marrying Crystal. It’s an entertaining hour.

Julia and Maddy created Sentiment back in March, after seeing how the pandemic was negatively affecting mental health. They realized that lots of people were having a hard time checking in on themselves regularly, and though this was worsened by the pandemic, it was not a new phenomenon. So, they created Sentiment: a texting community where they send daily texts to remind people to check in on themselves and their loved ones to provide inspiration, motivation and connection.

The Ascension Show Seven Gratitude in Action
This is the week in the United States that many of us think about Gratitude and its role in our lives. The Ascension Show Team wants us to paint all our days in the colors of #GRATITUDE! We dig deep and see what we’re grateful for in our personal lives, but Dr. Denise McDermott and Dr. Andrea Best also talk about how they counsel their patients in gratitude. Look for Ascension Medium Jennifer Shaffer to tune us into how this is prevalent in her practice too. Dr. Best will school us on the Science of Gratitude and how our body, mind and soul benefit from incorporating this into mindful practices. We’re also “Being Real Here” — at this Time of Thanksgiving in the age of pandemic. We share our unique and creative plans for getting through the holiday season. From quarantine groups, bi-coastal family sing-alongs and more! Plus, we will discuss nutrition => exercise => and your immune system. Look for our Gratitude in Action segment when we serve up homework to load up your platter of grateful feelings and all its healthy side dishes.

Post-Election, Perfect Timing
Commentary by Dr. Andrea Best
My heart is full of hope and I am so encouraged, after our interview of Dr. Bandy Lee. Dr. Denise and I had the honor of speaking with her at this time in the world, when her level of understanding, advocacy, and enlightened boldness are most needed. We do not often have the privilege of speaking with colleagues at this enlightened and scientific level about: politics, sociopathy, healthcare, psychiatry, diagnosis of mental illness, and the dangerousness of the outgoing leadership/mindset of its following. I lost track of time, I was so engrossed in the discussion of her work with sociopaths, prisoners— to her social justice advocacy work as President of the World Mental Health Coalition. I encourage everyone to listen to this podcast, the previous one with Dr Lee and Dr Denise, and the powerful livestream of the World Mental Health Coalition’s recent Emergency Interdisciplinary Conference.
Today, we discussed that conference, ongoing solutions to heal individuals and society, and people/organizations committed to doing exactly this. I look forward to our future discussions and reading her second book, Trump’s Mind, America’s Soul, as well. My hope is that people will be encouraged by her example of speaking up and advocating for justice, especially those in healthcare. That all people will understand, at a higher level, what actually is moving through this country, the health consequences and outright dangerousness of it. We need to move in the space of hope, love and unity.
Despite the darkness that I see and read about daily in the news, I am choosing to be hopeful, Hopeful In Action. I am choosing to speak up. I am choosing to work with leaders like Dr. Denise and Dr. Lee (and any genuinely interested in rooting out injustice) in order that integrity is restored in all levels of governmental leadership in this country, and in the leadership of American healthcare. Attempts to silence physicians, to encourage more passivity and to incite fear will ultimately fail. Why? Because even if physicians do not recall or honor their Duty, i.e. the Hippocratic oath, or the expanded version, the 1948 Declaration of Geneva, they, like all people, will feel discord. This discord… The very personal, negative physiological and psychological health consequences of being an active participant in creating injustice— or passively, quietly allowing injustice. With such, The Soul will not be at peace. It can heal, however. There are steps to alchemize, to think, feel, and do better. We all have a voice and we are more powerful than we believe. I am thankful for Dr Lee’s body of work and activism. I am thankful there are solutions and people (many more than earlier believed) who are intelligently and boldly moving to implement them, to effect change.

The Ascension Show Team shines the spotlight on our very own Ascension Medium Jennifer Shaffer. We hear about the origins and evolution of her skills as a practicing spiritual intuitive. From a robust practice of individual clients to pro-bono work for more than a decade working with families and various law enforcement agencies. Jennifer takes us through a typical day, getting the downloads of being connected to the spirit world. How did she know she had this ability? How did she overcome any fears or concerns she might’ve had at first? Jennifer feels everyone has this ability to some
extent. We’ll let science meet the spiritual. And find out how your Loved Ones from the other side communicate and how to feel their energy. You’ll get your very own AWARENESS lesson, with take-home work for you to tune in to. How does Jennifer do that? You’ll find out!

Dr. Best, Marjan Mamooie and I sat down to capture our feelings after the election.
We agreed that there is a lot of work to do with the level of divide in the United States yet are hopeful that we can unite one conversation at a time.

Unbelievable.
On the Eve of Election Day I received a call from a dear friend about her unkind, neglectful and verbally abusive father. While I was giving her tips on self love and self care I receive a text from Marjan that was shocking and sent chills up my spine.
The text read:
“Government Watch List. The federal government maintains a list of names of people who may be associated with a known suspect, are a known suspect themselves, or are under “reasonable suspicion” of involvement in an extremist group or terrorist activity. Did you know? If (LEAVING BLANK INTENTIONALLY) name appears on a government watch list supplied by the DOJ, FBI, CIA, Interpol, or another government agency you will have access to the details associated with this record.”
THE ERA of THE SOCIOPATH is the title of this week’s DIVA DISCUSSIONS.

UNITY: Questions You’re Afraid to Ask
This week we’re talking UNITY — and it’s a safe space! Dr. Andrea Best, MD leads the discussion about taking personal responsibility when it comes to issues of race, social justice and #UNITY. We’ll learn to ask: “How am I being? Where am I struggling? Where is my internal resistance? How can I see this differently, this group of people differently?” It’s likely you’ll be amazed by Dr. Best’s teachings on energy frequencies => unbalance => discord => disease. Trust us, you’ll want to be balanced! Our “Why is This a Thing?” Segment is all #UNITY-centered. And the Vote 2020, in these final days of the presidential election, will also be infused with #UNITY. The anchor spotlight is on Ascension Media’s Medical Director Dr. Andrea Best, be prepared to be enlightened! Dr. Best is going to ask the “Questions You’re Afraid to Ask.” Exciting!
