Unfringed: Recent Episodes

Empowering conversations for people who are not afraid to challenge the status quo. The intention of Unfringed is to bring awareness to and develop conversations about the things that most affect us today; the things that too many of us won't dare talk about and the things we allow to divide us. Donna provides a raw and realistic viewpoint that encourages discussion, welcomes collaboration, and empowers solutions to modern problems. She challenges the status quo and invites you to think beyond it. Open your mind. Open your eyes. Be Brave. Change Starts Here.

The physical, mental, and emotional selves are all connected and matter to each other. There is a delicate balance that must be kept for us to feel, function, and experience our lives to their fullest potential.
Learning to listen to what each aspect of 'us" is telling us is important to be able to focus our attention where it most needs to be so that balance can be maintained.
If you are struggling in an area of your life, please reach out, ask questions, or drop a comment for support and feedback.

We live in a very different world than we did several years ago and it shows in our workforce. Silent Quitting has become a term we hear more and more frequently. Is it the bad thing people claim it to be? Where should we draw the line and who should we look at to make positive changes?

We always seem to seek closure after a betrayal or breakup. We want to understand. . . We say things like "But I just need to know why". . . The truth is we don't really need that. We are hurting and want the pain to stop. We think those answers will accomplish that goal. In this episode, I'll talk about this pain most of us have experienced at some point in our lives and how to move forward.

Piggy-backing on episode 14, Conscious Language for Real Change, this episode looks specifically at the detrimental effects of labeling people, situations, groups, and things.
Labels are prevalent today. We seem to need to categorize everything and everyone. Marketing and mass media have a lot to do with that, but we as individuals can learn to break those binds and learn to operate outside of the constructs our minds create.
What labels do you struggle with most? Where did they come from? Do you attach labels to yourself? To others? What if you didn't? What would that feel like? It may take practice, but liberation is worth it!
After listening, be sure to visit the Empowered Humans Facebook page and comment on the post pinned to the top of the page "The label I find most challenging (to overcome) is...

Are we a nation of increasingly sick people? Or, are we a nation being told we are sick so the Big Pharma monster will profit more from our perceived illnesses and reliance on them to "make us better"?
From chronic issues that can easily be managed with lifestyle changes to "disorders" requiring meds for normal function, we have become pill-popping zombies who believe we have no control over our own health and wellbeing. This is a serious problem. We need to empower ourselves! People need to be educated and shown how marketing, television ads, big Pharma, big tech, and the media have influenced perceptions of our basic natural human functions.
This is one of the most important conversations we can have today. In this episode, we kick it off. What are your feelings and beliefs about this? What are you doing to take care of yourself and those you love? Do you rely on pills and other medications to live a normal life? Have you been diagnosed with a chronic illness or labeled with a disorder? Let's take the conversation up a notch and dig in. Let's challenge the status quo together.

Our inner and outer environments constantly provide feedback for our growth and wellbeing. But, we haven't all learned to listen. There are distractions and old beliefs and behavior patterns we all have that prevent us from tuning in to our Inner Navigation System that is designed to help us move through difficulty and distractions.
Awareness and knowing how to be calm and present is super helpful and understanding how and when to let go of the things and people holding us back. Things don't happen to us, they happen through us... whether they are things we like or not. Love yourself and surround yourself with people who lift you up and inspire you!
Challenges are gifts that contain opportunities for us to develop and grow beyond what we may be able to imagine right now. You are loved and if you need support I am here!

This is an unplanned episode in response to the tragic death of a member of my community.
Domestic abuse permeates our society with a greater reach and depth than most of us realize. Victims of this insidious behavior feel alone, afraid, humiliated, and confused. Those on the outside looking in are hesitant to 'interfere" or overstep boundaries and too often are left wishing they had after a friend, family member, or co-worker are seriously harmed or killed.
I am a domestic abuse survivor. In this episode, I share my thoughts and personal insights on this topic in the hope that it will help someone who needs it. If you or someone you care about is in a situation that is potentially unsafe, please seek help. Know you are not alone and there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if it is hard to see it right now.
THANK YOU for listening, and for sharing your thoughts, questions, and any resources in your location that may assist someone who is struggling. That includes any resources you may be aware of for abusers who want to break the cycle and heal themselves, too.

This episode touches on the controversial issue of human equality. Whether talking about gender, race, sexual orientation, or something else, what does true equality look like? And, why do some people feel that their respective group's history entitles them to certain liberties or special treatment? This brief episode of Unfringed just scratches the surface of this multi-layered conversation. What do YOU think?

The (Social) Justice Police are rampant in today's world ... It's great to stand behind a cause you believe in, but if the means and methods of delivering a message become toxic or hurtful, you are defeating your own purpose.
Instead of blindly following dogma, we have an opportunity to look within, to choose our actions and words wisely, and BE the change we want to see.

It was not too long ago that AI was the stuff of science fiction. Today, our technology is advancing at incredibly fast rates. It is exciting! But, are we mentally and emotionally ready for what this could mean?
Are we as a human race prepared for the power that quantum computing and AI afford us? And, what role does technology play in our spiritual beliefs and understanding? These are questions Donna considers in this episode of Unfringed.

Listen to Joe's inspiring and touching story. Learn about the foundation, established in his son's name, to help other families who are struggling with childhood cancer. This could have easily turned into a much longer conversation because Joe is so easy to talk to and because there is so much more to discuss surrounding this topic.

Should you be concerned about pesticides and GMO's in your food? Is the additional cost to buy organic and non-GMO worth it? This episode begins to unravel the big picture deception and manipulation hiding behind corporate and government greed and how they affect our food supply, our environment, and our health in a big way.
This is a huge topic that needs to be discussed and brought to the forefront for the masses! We must work together to spread awareness and be the change. This fundamentally affects everything we do, how we live, and the health and wellbeing of our kids, our planet, and our future!

Chlorinated and Fluoridated water and BPA are solutions to problems we faced and have mostly overcome. But, have we traded one set of issues for even worse health problems like Cancer and Heart disease? Is our government to be blamed and have they been lying to us about the safety and risks?

But, we are all responsible for our own feelings, choices, and behaviors. Nobody else has the power to make you do or feel anything. So, why are so many people walking on eggshells to avoid the Karen wrath? We're going to talk about that in this episode of Unfringed.
