The Introvert’s Guide to Becoming a Master Networker Show Guest: Jevonya Jenkins Allen During her first job supervising children at a local swimming pool, Jevonya was struck with an overwhelming desire to jump off a 12-foot diving board, even though she couldn’t swim. The ambitious voice in her head saying you should jump too wasn’t one she could ignore. To accomplish this goal, she saw what she needed to do - enlist a support system to help her. Standing at the edge of that diving board, Jevonya came to understand that anything is possible with a strong network. Many years later, she was once again confronted by that ambitious voice, but this time she came face to face with her identity as an introvert. In Jevonya’s inspiring book, The Introvert’s Guide to Becoming a Master Networker, she challenges common misconceptions of introverts as passive, indifferent, and unassertive. She argues instead that introverts are uniquely designed to build the kind of deep, trusting relationships necessary for authentic networking. Jevonya offers her readers a ten-step process for becoming a master networker, from an introvert’s perspective. She says, “This process requires time, patience, and hard work but one great thing about us introverts is that we aren’t afraid of hard work.”

Soul Medicine: Healing Through Dream Incubation, Visions, Oracles and Pilgrimages Show Guest: Edward Tick, Ph.D. The modern practice of medicine and psychology grew out of the ancient Greek healing tradition, said to be founded by Asklepios, god of healing and dreams. For two thousand years the system spread all over the Mediterranean world and planted the roots of Western medicine and psychology by offering ritual and holistic practices that recognized that healing begins at the soul level. Yet, since that time, the spiritually based practices were cast aside, leaving behind only the scientific medical techniques that dominate healthcare today. Resurrecting and restoring the sacred, mythological, and cultural origins of medicine and psychotherapy, Edward Tick, Ph.D., explores the soul-healing practices missing in our contemporary health systems. He looks at the dream incubation tradition of Asklepios, sacred theatre of Dionysos, oracle gifting of Apollo, special practices of warriors, and their roots in Neolithic shamanism and indigenous traditions. Demonstrating the ritual use of dreams, visions, oracles, synchronicities, and pilgrimage for healing and connecting to the transpersonal and divine, he explains how dream incubation is a technique where you plant a seed for a specific healing or growth goal in order to facilitate dreaming and work toward soul restoration. Using both ancient wisdom and modern depth psychology alongside stories of healings from his more than 25 years of guiding Greek pilgrimages, Tick explores how we can use ancient healing philosophies and practices to reveal how restoration of the soul facilitates true healing today!

Do Violent Shows Trigger Real Violence? And What About Video Games? Show Guest: Frieda Birnbaum, PhD It’s a question many parents ask themselves and one that has been difficult to answer: Do violent TV shows and movies encourage real world violence? Could keeping children away from fictional violence improve their behavior, or prevent it from getting worse? In the 1960’s, Albert Bandura conducted the famous “bobo doll experiment” which showcased how children tend to mimic observed violent behavior. Many people have doubted if TV, movies, and video games could have the same effect. However, these forms of entertainment have become more realistic and more violent since then, and we’re starting to see the unfortunate real-world consequences. Research psychologist Dr. Frieda Birnbaum has noticed a concerning correlation between violent media and increased aggression that follows children into adulthood. She would love to share her professional insight as well as a hidden benefit to ‘gaming’ in moderation.
