Episode #322: Dancing for Joy and the Power to Heal with Amy Anderson

4/30/2024
Amy Anderson is a Pilates Instructor, Certified Dance Medicine Specialist, founder and owner of Engage Movement Arts, and former professional ballet dancer, whose career took a dramatic turn when a devastating back injury left her unable to dance for two years. She was just 27 years old and at the peak of her career when she was told that her injury was career ending and that she would never be able to dance again. Not only did Amy dance again, but she also created a 30 year-long career working in private practice rehabilitating injuries for both dancers and the general public, while also maintaining a professional dance career part time. She is currently working with clients, teaching adult ballet classes, and creating new works to share with the world. Amy shares how she fell in love with ballet when she was just 3 years old after watching a performance of Swan Lake on PBS. From that moment on, she knew that she wanted to be a professional ballet dancer, starting her training when she was 9 years old. Her dream eventually came true when she was hired by a large professional ballet company in the Pacific Northwest. Unfortunately, although Amy achieved her life’s dream, the pressure of dancing in such a large company was overwhelming. She felt like she was nothing more than a body in a costume instead of an artist. Not only did she feel like she was losing her identity, the obsessive, irrational, and constant focus on weight made her begin to worry about developing an eating disorder. She chose her health over her career, quit dancing, and walked away from her dream. Eventually, she came back to ballet, secured a position in a smaller local company with a supportive, nurturing atmosphere and no pressure. Until she was injured. Amy shares many of the important life lessons and insights she gained from her injury and her subsequent journey of healing, which also led her to discover a new career path while also finding her path back to dance. She also shares the importance of listening to your body, finding the right path to healing that works for you, and how to pay attention to the signals that your body is sending you. She also shares how (and why) she has embraced the power of aging well, and firmly believes that all of us can do anything we want to, at any age, and that there is always a path to healing. Download this positive, inspirational, and engaging episode to hear Amy’s story, how to age well, dance for joy, and discover our own power to heal. https://www.engagemovementarts.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-anderson-56670918/ https://voyagedenver.com/interview/exploring-life-business-amy-anderson-engage-movement-arts/ https://www.denverdancecenter.com/

4/2/2024
Cory Rosenke is an author, theologian, pastor, teacher, and coach who spent most of his childhood in the debilitating grip of poverty, isolation, and even homelessness. He found his reprieve by exploring the majestic but lonely mountain slopes of the Rocky Mountains, along with a walking stick, a book, and his faithful and beloved dog. Cory’s consistently curious mind was always asking the question “why,” especially in regard to human nature, and many of the books which captivated his attention were not the typical choices for young readers. At the ages of eleven and twelve, Cory was eagerly exploring Laws and Republic by Plato, Ethics by Aristotle, and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. He especially loved “Where I Lived, and What I Lived for,” by Henry David Thoreau, because Cory felt that it seemed to meet him where he was at. His early teen years found him exploring a new province (Alberta) and embarking on new literary adventures, including the diverse works of Sigmund Freud, Edmund Burke, Plutarch, and C. S. Lewis, just to name a few. Cory’s recently published book is titled “The Magnetic Heart of God: Understanding the Five Cravings of Your Soul.” Today, Cory remains as inquisitive as ever, spending his days as he always has, reading, writing, exploring, shepherding, and forever watching and wondering. Cory shares much of his learned wisdom and insights and addresses many important questions regarding the heart and soul of humanity and human nature, including the proof that mankind has souls, how we can discover meaning and purpose in our lives, why people do what they do, why the world is falling apart, and what it means to be made in the image of God, and how we can reconnect with our soul.

Episode #313: Permanently Eliminate Anxiety and Reclaim Your Life with Daniel Packard

3/7/2024
Daniel Packard is an Anxiety Solution Pioneer and a U.C. Berkeley Mechanical Engineer, who turned his painful 10-year-long battle with severe anxiety into a mission to engineer a permanent solution for anxiety. After eight years of intensive research and testing, Daniel and his research developed the world’s only permanent anxiety solution program with a 90% success rate. And because he is so passionate about achieving results, his company is the only emotional health company in the world where clients only pay at the end, once their anxiety is completely resolved. Daniel also has a background in acting and has had fifteen years’ experience as a stand-up comedian. Daniel’s father was an inventor, who told him that if something isn’t working, invent something better. Daniel was so fascinated by this philosophy as well as his dad’s creations, that when mountain bikes burst onto the scene, instead of buying one he built his own, eventually earning his degree in Mechanical Engineering. Through his own struggles with anxiety, spending $100,000 over ten years with no results, he finally decided to look at anxiety through the eyes of an engineer. Which is to see a problem, find a solution, test, and retest the results until the problem is solved. Daniel explains that he started looking at anxiety as a mechanical problem, not a psychological one, since he realized that anxiety is in the body, not the mind. He further describes that the human body consists of a series of systems, and the one which was broken was being ignored, which was the nervous system. Which is why he and his team focused on the nervous system, and developed the 6-week program called Nervous System Reset which has helped hundreds of individual clients but also over 3,000 people at over 300 companies and universities all over the world. Daniel’s unique background as an engineer as well as an actor and comedian makes for a fascinating, enlightening, and entertaining episode, where he explains the mechanics of anxiety, why it took an engineer to solve the problem, and why the mental health and self-improvement industry owe their followers an apology. Download this informative episode with its positive message of hope and healing. Because Daniel passionately believes another important lesson his dad told him years ago, which is that if you really want to make people's lives better, results matter. And because results do matter, no one has to live with anxiety, and all of us can find our path to permanently eliminate it and reclaim our lives. https://anxietysolutionprogram.com/ https://www.facebook.com/danielpackardpublic https://www.instagram.com/danielpackard/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiW5BRtH6i9iI4jP1bGmEng QUOTE: “Anxiety is a feeling of being unsafe, which is mechanical, not psychological.”
