Rebranding This is a True Story Podcast

Rebranding This is a True Story Podcast
So I am rebranding This is a True Story Podcast. The past year I really loved sharing transformative stories and ideas. From the first story of finding love and near death in death valley to hiking the PCT, to discovering oneself by experimenting with plant medicine, silent meditation, solo travel and many more stories. All I loved equally and fully. I found a ton of happiness in publishing these stories. The podcast did rise fast with lots of support in the form of downloads and I am forever grateful. Thank you. So here is where the podcast is going. The podcast is now called Minimalism with Intention and here I will share stories, ideas and conversations focused on minimalism and intentionalism. A lot of the stories I shared on This is a True Story we’re very much stories of intention, meaning living an intentional life, a life centered on one’s core belief and value and purpose. I also shared quite a few episodes focused specifically on minimalism. So you will see some familiar themes moving forward. This podcast is for sure going to share a lot of transformative and inspiring experiences and ideas. I hope you will take part! Check out these minimalist stories here (I have many stories of intentional living published too!): Colin Wright sharing This is It Jennifer Burger sharing Declutter Your Life https://www.livingadaptive.com/declutter-your-life-and-chase-your-dreams-jennifer-burger/ Support the show by using the link below to Buy Me A Coffee This is a True Story Podcast is found here, / Scott Davidson is found here, /

What I Learned From Interviewing the Most Adaptive Individuals on Earth
I am about to share what the most adaptive individuals do in order reach their goals and better the world despite incredible adversity. The past six years I’ve interviewed hundreds (really likely much higher) of individuals that faced unimaginable adversities. Some have died. Some have lost a loved one. Some have lost the ability to move. Some have not only lost their health but at the same time have been abandoned by family and friends and thus forced to journey alone. Some have survived war and returned without limbs. Yet, as these storms surround these highly adaptive individuals, they’ve found a way to improve their position and make the world better. How?

When acquaintances, non-profits or other entities asked for help I almost always said yes...and while all this was going on I was having health complications.

Idea: Declutter Your Mind and Life with The Minimalist Practice of a Packing Party

Idea: Declutter Your Mind and Life with The Minimalist Practice of a Packing Party
The practices and ideas of essentialism and minimalism is something I've attempted to incorporate the past seven years. About six years ago we downsized our entire house and moved 2,000 plus miles away to a smaller home in a strange new world. When we arrived at our new home we filled one garage spot with all of our possessions. We kept these items in the garage and only brought in what we needed, such as beds, coffee makers, clothes, etc. Anything that wasn’t needed or didn’t bring us value was donated. Over time we did acquire more items such as clothes, some furniture and other items that brought value to our lives. Twice a year we host a packing party, where we box several rooms in the house. We only take out what we need. If we don’t remove the items from the box within 90 days then we donate these items. A packing party is pretty empowering, try it. Idea episodes are brief topic episodes focused on ideas worth hearing and potentially incorporating. Idea episodes will publish every other episode.

Ayahuasca Paranoia: That Time I Nearly Died in the Amazon - Alisha Smith
“People say that ayahuasca is a truth serum, but I think it’s a fear venom. It drives its viney tendrils deep into the sludge of your soul. It has an arsenal of machinery ready to excavate the shittiest beliefs you hold about yourself. It can make you live your worst nightmares, often in the most creative of ways. And if you’re lucky, it may even kill you.” Alisha presents her ayahuasca experience. Alisha Smith is an adventure driven personality that creates classes to help you heal and transform. She’s a notable meditation, movement and breathwork guide. Alisha creates transformational guided meditations, breathwork sessions, yoga classes and powerful energy healing techniques to help you on your journey.

Shedding Shame and Guilt through Strength and Resilience

Shedding Shame and Guilt through Strength and Resilience
In letting go of the shame I felt about the person I was, I’ve been able to feel pride in the woman I’m becoming. This past fall, I wrote and released my memoir, “The Good Stripper: A Soccer Mom’s Memoir of Lies, Loss and Lap Dances.” With my book, I am teaching people that experiencing trauma and struggling to overcome them doesn’t make us weak, it makes us human and oftentimes it’s these experiences that connect us to each other.
