    Anitta: 6 Ways to Heal Your Inner Child & Let Go of Past Trauma

    enJune 03, 2024

    Podcast Summary

    • Self-care and mindfulnessSelf-care and mindfulness are crucial for personal growth and delivering the best possible experience to your audience, whether you're a creator or a consumer.

      No matter what type of content you're consuming or creating – be it a podcast about solving mysteries and understanding adulting, a Netflix show like Bridgerton, or an interview with a Grammy-nominated artist like Anita – the importance of self-care, preparation, and staying in a positive mindset cannot be overstated. Whether it's through meditation, mantras, or seeking guidance from others, taking care of yourself is essential for both personal growth and delivering the best possible experience to your audience. So, whether you're a host, a fan, or an artist, remember to prioritize self-care and mindfulness in your daily life. Listen to Part-Time Genius, How to Adult, or Bridgerton on iHeartRadio, and enjoy the journey of learning, growth, and self-improvement.

    • Self-connection vs ComparisonSelf-discipline and reconnecting with oneself can elevate frequency and vibration, while comparison on social media can lead to negative emotions and hinder personal growth. Focus on personal wants and positive influences to feel good.

      When we feel disconnected or out of alignment, we don't need to overthink or compare ourselves to others. Instead, we can practice self-discipline and reconnect with ourselves to elevate our frequency and vibration. Comparison, especially on social media, can lead to negative emotions and a lack of self-identity. It's important to remember that everyone is unique and has different circumstances, so comparison is unfair and can hinder personal growth. Instead, focus on what you truly want and be true to yourself. Additionally, when we meet people with positive energy, it can have a profound impact on our own well-being. So, surround yourself with positive influences and trust in your own power to feel good.

    • Impact of past experiencesPast experiences, traumas, and inner conflicts can significantly impact our present lives. Through self-reflection, seeking resources, and addressing root causes, we can find balance, calmness, and fulfillment.

      Our past experiences, traumas, and inner conflicts can significantly impact our present lives. The speaker's personal journey involved dealing with various health issues, feeling disconnected from her family, and struggling with her identity as an artist versus her true self. Through a shamanic retreat and self-reflection, she learned to accept and embrace her authentic self, understand her inner child's needs, and prioritize her peace and happiness. By recognizing and addressing the root causes of her struggles, she was able to find balance, calmness, and fulfillment in her life. Additionally, she emphasized the importance of self-care, self-love, and seeking tools and resources that help maintain a positive mindset.

    • External vs Internal HappinessExternal achievements may provide temporary happiness, but true fulfillment comes from within. Focus on personal growth and connection for lasting happiness.

      External achievements, such as money, success, or validation from others, may temporarily fill an emptiness within us, but true happiness and fulfillment come from within. When we have nothing, we may blame external factors for our unhappiness, but when we have it all, the responsibility lies with ourselves. It's essential to understand that we pursue external achievements not because we enjoy the journey but because we believe they will fulfill us. However, when we have achieved all we set out to, we may still feel a sense of emptiness, leading us to seek more external validation. This endless cycle can be broken by focusing on what truly gives our lives meaning and connection. Ultimately, we must learn to be happy with ourselves, regardless of external circumstances, and understand that growth and evolution are not about constantly acquiring more but rather about becoming the best version of ourselves from the inside out.

    • Intergenerational InfluenceOur thoughts and experiences can be influenced by those of our ancestors, even if we have financial security, and acknowledging and addressing these inherited emotions is important for healing and growth.

      Our experiences and thoughts can be influenced by the experiences and thoughts of those around us, even if we're not aware of it. This was exemplified in the speaker's story of inheriting a fear of financial instability from her mother, which manifested in her own life despite having financial security. Additionally, the importance of acknowledging and addressing these inherited thoughts and emotions was highlighted through the use of healing practices like family constellations. The speaker also emphasized the value of spiritual growth and the depth and impact it can have on one's life, contrasting it with material success. Overall, the discussion underscored the interconnectedness of our experiences and the significance of self-awareness and healing in navigating life's challenges.

    • Personal transformationUnderstanding heritage and purpose, addressing mental and emotional challenges, and embracing natural living contribute to a fulfilling personal transformation, interconnected with physical changes.

      Personal growth and spiritual exploration go hand in hand with physical changes. The speaker, who has worked behind the scenes of the hit Netflix series "Bridgerton" and produced a spiritual movie, shares her experiences of transforming her mind, heart, and body. She discusses the importance of understanding one's heritage and purpose, the challenges of being on birth control, and the benefits of living a more natural and mindful life. She emphasizes that these changes are interconnected and that taking care of one's mental, emotional, and physical health is essential for living a fulfilling life. Additionally, she advocates for shared responsibility in matters of reproductive health and encourages small steps towards a more plant-based diet for the betterment of both personal health and the environment.

    • Constellation TherapyConstellation Therapy helps individuals understand and make peace with past experiences and relationships, acknowledging their impact and importance in shaping present and future, and emphasizing self-love and acceptance, despite societal norms.

      Our past experiences and relationships, even those filled with trauma, hold important lessons and energy that can shape our present and future. The Constellation Therapy technique, as described, allows individuals to understand and make peace with these experiences by acknowledging and valuing all parts of themselves. This includes recognizing the impact of family dynamics and the importance of self-love and acceptance. Society's expectations and judgments can also hinder our personal growth and relationships, emphasizing the need to value all aspects of ourselves and others, regardless of societal norms. Ultimately, understanding and accepting our past and present can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

    • Spiritual traditionsRespecting and honoring various spiritual traditions, believing all lead to becoming a better human, and staying true to one's beliefs despite criticism or loss of followers.

      The speaker values the importance of respecting and honoring various spiritual traditions, despite facing criticism and loss of followers. She believes that all religions lead to the same goal of becoming a better human and evolving, and that it's essential to take responsibility for one's actions rather than blaming external forces. The speaker uses her platform to spread positivity and help others, even if it means losing some followers. She has a sense of mission and responsibility to make a difference in people's lives. The speaker's experiences have taught her that, even in the face of adversity, it's important to stay true to one's beliefs and values.

    • Overcoming adversityPersevering through adversity and societal norms can lead to remarkable experiences and achievements. Self-acceptance and not judging others are also crucial.

      Overcoming adversity and breaking through barriers can lead to remarkable experiences and achievements. The speaker, Anitta, shared her journey from facing rejection and prejudice in her home country to performing for a record-breaking audience with Madonna. She also emphasized the importance of self-acceptance and not judging others. Anitta's experiences highlight the importance of perseverance, believing in oneself, and challenging societal norms. Despite facing numerous challenges, including discrimination based on her origins and gender, she continued to pursue her dreams and ultimately succeeded in making a global impact.

    • Staying true to oneselfDespite challenges, staying true to yourself and your art can lead to great rewards. Love and passion for your work can overcome skepticism and rejection.

      Creating something unique and authentic to yourself, despite the challenges and obstacles, can lead to great rewards. The artist in this conversation shared her experience of releasing an unconventional album in the music industry, where Brazilian funk wasn't popular, and playlists didn't exist for such genres. She was determined to put out her album, even when faced with skepticism and rejection. Her only motivation was her love for the music and the fear of not having the opportunity to do so if she didn't try. The album faced numerous challenges, but her passion and determination kept her going. Eventually, it was released, and she was proud of it. The artist also mentioned the importance of spiritual support during her tour and the need for clear communication and understanding in business deals. Overall, her story highlights the importance of staying true to yourself and your art, even when faced with adversity.

    • New experiences, personal growthExploring new cultures, genres, and traditions can lead to profound discoveries and personal growth. Embrace new experiences, find balance in life, and engage in relationships where both parties are treating themselves well.

      Exploring new cultures, genres, and traditions, especially those that are less known or recognized, can lead to profound discoveries and personal growth. Anita's journey is a testament to this, as she shares how her love for Brazilian jazz came about through chance encounters and her dedication to sharing these discoveries with others. This idea of being open to new experiences and not being afraid to step outside of one's comfort zone is a powerful one, as it allows us to broaden our horizons and gain a deeper understanding of the world around us. Additionally, Anita emphasizes the importance of finding balance in life, both in terms of our spiritual and material selves, and in our relationships. Her advice to focus on our own personal growth and only engage in relationships where both parties are treating themselves well is a valuable reminder of the importance of self-care and self-respect.

    • Wealth Redistribution LawIf everyone in the world had to follow one law, it would be a limit on personal wealth to ensure resources for necessities and important causes.

      According to the guest on the podcast, if there was one law everyone in the world had to follow, it would be a limit on the amount of money each person can have. The excess wealth should be shared for necessities like building schools, protecting the environment, and other important causes. The guest emphasized that no one truly needs billions of dollars and encouraged listeners to focus on necessities rather than accumulating excessive wealth. The interview concluded with a call to action for listeners to share what resonated with them from the episode and to listen to other inspiring episodes, such as Rick Rubin's on creativity and finding passion.

    Dr. Rahul Jandial: What Your Nightmares Are Trying to Tell You & How to Know Which Dreams You Need to Pay Attention to

    Dr. Rahul Jandial: What Your Nightmares Are Trying to Tell You & How to Know Which Dreams You Need to Pay Attention to

    Do you often remember your dreams?

     

    What was the last dream you can remember?

     

    Today, let's welcome Dr. Rahul Jandial. Rahul is a dual-trained brain surgeon and neuroscientist based at City of Hope in Los Angeles. He leads the Jandial Lab, which explores the intersection of neurobiology and cancer. Beyond his research, Dr. Jandial is dedicated to global health, performing pediatric neurosurgery in charity hospitals across South America and Eastern Europe. He is also the author of the book "This Is Why You Dream," which delves into the science and significance of dreaming.

     

    Jay and Rahul explore the significance of dreams and their impact on our lives, and that the brain is highly active during sleep, generating as much electricity as when awake. This activity suggests that dreaming is not a passive process but an essential function for the brain, helping it process and rehearse experiences, emotions, and creativity.

     

    There are common themes in dreams, such as nightmares, erotic dreams, and motifs like falling or being chased. Rahul highlights that these themes are linked to the brain's imaginative and emotional networks, which are more active during dreaming. Nightmares, for instance, play a crucial role in developing a sense of self and other in children, while in adults, they can indicate unresolved emotional issues or trauma. He also discusses the concept of lucid dreaming, where one becomes aware of dreaming and can exert some control over the dream narrative. 

     

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to enhance dream recall

    How to induce lucid dreaming

    How to utilize dreams for creative problem solving

    How to reduce nightmare in children

    How to cultivate positive morning thoughts 

    How to improve sleep quality for better dreams

     

    Embrace the power of your dreams to boost creativity and emotional well-being. Take the first step tonight for a healthier, more vibrant tomorrow!

    Why There’s No Such thing As the Right Person at the Wrong Time & Why Your Ex Was Never The One

    Why There’s No Such thing As the Right Person at the Wrong Time & Why Your Ex Was Never The One

    Do you believe in "right person, wrong time"?

    Do you have realistic expectations about dating?

    Today, Jay will discuss the popular notion of the "right person at the wrong time." He explains that this idea often stems from nostalgia, which can distort our memories by emphasizing the positive aspects of past experiences and minimizing the negatives. This romanticized view of the past can prevent us from addressing present realities and hinder our ability to form healthy relationships.

    Jay also talks about the various factors that influence relationships, such as a person's relationship status, goals, and healing journey. He argues that a person's current circumstances, such as being newly single or single for a long time, significantly shape who they are and their readiness for a relationship. Furthermore, in a healthy relationship, partners should respect and support each other's goals rather than expecting complete alignment. He also highlights the importance of patience and mutual support in the ongoing process of healing from past traumas.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to align goals in a relationship

    How to manage expectations

    How to build a healthy relationship

    How to embrace new possibilities

    By letting go of romanticized notions of the past and embracing the present, we open ourselves to genuine connections. Be open, curious, and positive about dating, we can find meaningful and fulfilling relationships.

    Today, Jay sits down with Melinda French Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and founder of Pivotal Ventures to talk about her journey from studying computer science at Duke University to working at Microsoft, and eventually transitioning into philanthropy.

    Melinda highlights the importance of goal setting and quiet reflection, practices instilled in her from a young age; the challenges women and people of color face in achieving equality, emphasizing the need for more inclusive policies and support systems; and the importance of diverse representation in leadership and decision-making roles.

    Melinda shared insights into her parenting approach, emphasizing the importance of instilling values of kindness, responsibility, and giving back to society. She also shared her journey of grappling with the decision to publicly support contraceptive access, which conflicted with her Catholic faith. This decision involved deep reflection, discussions with family and friends, and a significant amount of time spent questioning and reconciling her beliefs. 

    Later in the conversation, Melinda highlighted several key lessons she learned later in life, such as the realization that the world is not equally accessible to everyone, particularly women and people of color. This understanding fueled her advocacy for creating more inclusive environments and breaking down barriers that prevent these groups from reaching their full potential​.

    Rob Dial: How to Break the Cycle of Procrastination & 3 Ways to Change Your Repeated Thoughts

    Rob Dial: How to Break the Cycle of Procrastination & 3 Ways to Change Your Repeated Thoughts

    Why do we always put things off until the last minute?

    How can we stop the habit of procrastinating?

    Today, let's welcome Rob Dial, host of the Mindset Mentor Podcast and author of "Level Up." Jay and Rob reminisce about their seven-year friendship, sharing how their mutual interests in mindset and Eastern spirituality brought them together. 

    The conversation delves into the role of fear in holding people back, with Rob distinguishing between primal fears (like pain and death) and intellectual fears (like failure and rejection). He offers strategies to overcome these fears by focusing on positive outcomes instead of negative possibilities. They also explore the topic of procrastination, with Rob emphasizing the importance of having a strong "why" to drive motivation and action. 

    Rob reflects on his spiritual journey and how silence and introspection have helped him find peace and purpose. He also shares the key lesson he has learned: what we seek externally is often something we need to find within ourselves.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to overcome fear

    How to connect with your 'WHY'

    How to overcome procrastination

    How to change negative thought patterns

    Why Love Is Not Enough & 5 Things to Focus On More in Dating & Relationships

    Why Love Is Not Enough & 5 Things to Focus On More in Dating & Relationships

    Do you and your partner share values?

    How do you support each other emotionally?

    Today, Jay taps into the  idea that love alone is not sufficient to sustain a healthy relationship. While love is important, other elements such as shared values, emotional maturity, consistent patterns of behavior, and trust are crucial for long-lasting partnerships. Societal norms often romanticize love, leading people to overlook these essential factors.

    Jay discusses the significance of understanding and respecting each other's values, as well as recognizing and addressing patterns of behavior. Emotional maturity, which involves managing and expressing emotions healthily, is highlighted as a key component of a stable relationship. Support and partnership are deemed more critical than love alone.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to communicate your value to your partner

    How to develop emotional maturity

    How to support your partner's emotional growth

    How to build trust in your relationship

    Remember, love is important, but building a relationship on trust, values, and emotional maturity is key.

He offers actionable solutions, including delaying smartphone and social media use until later ages, implementing phone-free school policies, increasing outdoor play, and advocating for collective action by parents and communities.

    How to create a healthier digital environment for kids

    How to encourage outdoor play and physical activities

    How to talk to children about the risks of social media
