Creating Positive Habits & Reducing Stress
Samantha Tishner, Relationship Coach, Speaker, Author, Heal First Coaching
TOPIC CATEGORY: Self Improvement
Our world is wonderful, we can receive instant responses to communication and google any topic we have a question about and receive answers in moments. Having a minicomputer at our fingertips has opened a whole new world for us; some positive opportunities and some negative ones. MORE >
The downside, it has created a new path for bad habits and stress to take over. It has provided a space where people can be negative and hurtful to other people with little consequence. It has opened the door to create bad habits that help raise our stress level and anxiety. It’s important to find the balance between our face-paced world and finding time to shut down (creating 'white space') and focus on taking care of one’s self by reducing stress and creating positive change in our lives. -

Authentic Masculinity
Gregory Mayo, Award Winning Author, Speaker
TOPIC CATEGORY: Self Improvement
Is there Toxic Masculinity? Of course. But masculinity isn't toxic. In this talk, Greg explores how the presence of a Father Wound impacts how men communicate, relate, heal and live and how lack of understanding of authentic masculinity can lead to toxic masculinity or lack of masculinity at all.
More and more men grew up in a home without their father or a right example of what being a man looks like. So they try to look like a man and act like a man...but with no one deliberately showing the way, how do we know if we’re doing it right?
Well, we don’t.
We grow a beard
Shoot guns
Fight
Drink whiskey
Chase women and other myths
But they’re all just behaviors...actions to cover up the little boy inside who is deeply confused and hurting.
The world needs men to stand up, to lead and to train up the next generation of men.
