Unbecoming With Phoebe Mroczek

On this episode, I’ve invited my friend, Quan Huynh, to share about his life sentence for murder and the fear, forgiveness and freedom he's found on the journey. While you may not be able to relate to the details of his exact experience, we all can resonate with his story at some level. Different person, different prison. This is a masterclass in vulnerability, one of the most captivating conversations to date and an interview that I’m especially proud to bring you along for today.

This is a clip from the full length episode that was released earlier this week in celebration of an important milestone: 1 year after surviving getting hit by a car.

On today’s episode I’ve asked one of my closest friends, Amy Schuber, to help me celebrate a really significant one-year milestone. I invited her onto the show to talk about what has REALLY been going on and unfolding for me over the last year since I got hit by a car in October 2019. I truly hope that wherever you are, whatever you’re going through, that you not only connect with and learn from my story but more importantly, that you find peace, acceptance and healing in yours.   *** Please don't forget to check out Amy's work and her show, Inspired Conversations with Amy Schuber on social media @amyschuber and at www.amyschuber.com

While we support and lift up our friends, we very rarely give ourselves the same grace and understanding. Instead, we opt for harsh words or phrases that can be more harmful than helpful where motivation is the goal. Today's bonus clip is from my interview with Dr. Kristin Neff, an author, teacher and pioneer in the field of self-compassion research.   *** To hear the full length episode that this clip was pulled from and the complete Unbecoming library, please visit: www.unbecomingpodcast.com/152

If you tuned into your own inner voice, that unrelenting mental chatter, what would you hear? A harsh critic or a loving, nurturing voice? Most people experience the former, and my guest on the show is here to help us understand and create the latter. Dr. Kristin Neff is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion over fifteen years ago. This conversation will help you comprehend the significance of self-compassion and the role it can play in your life.   *** To access the Rapid Fire Business Segment with Dr. Neff, as well as all links mentioned on the show, please visit: www.unbecomingpodcast.com/152

I often talk on the show about thinking with your H.E.A.D. "Happily Ever After Dreams." Those “I’ll be happy when..” thoughts that drive us to spend too much time away from our families or hunched over our computers late at night. We’ve all been there. But what happens when you get the very thing you always wanted? And what if it happens virtually overnight? Is it as inspiring or fulfilling as you thought it’d be? Well, this is what happened to my my guest on the show this week. While I don’t believe in luck or in overnight successes, she does. After a perfect storm of circumstances and weeks away from giving up on her dream, Anna Mae Groves became one of the most admired, sought after influencers on Instagram. What happened?

Since my accident, I have become deeply invested in my health. I believe we can and should be proactive about our wellness before a "have to" scenario such as an accident, illness or disease. So, I invited a friend of mine, Dr. Steve Young, to the show to talk about health and longevity like you’ve never heard it before. With a goal of helping a billion people end their suffering from chronic illness, Steve has directly supported the healing of over 8,000 patients in his work over the last 20 years. In this episode, we discuss the intersection of science and sacred, the association between language and evolution, what it means to follow a moonshot, the best way to build immunity, how to advocate for your health, unicorn onesies (of course) and so much more. He even teases the details of an upcoming project that is a "Trojan Horse" for consciousness.   *** If you want to learn more about how Steve built his successful business (and how you can model his strategies), tune into our FREE Rapid Fire Bonus Segment.

When we create our vision boards and set our goals, we limit ourselves because we think that thing will give us what we're looking for. The truth is that what we don't need, we don't limit. Said another way - what we control, we confine.
