You are not hungry, but something tells you to eat more. Why does that happen? Well, the first thing to know is that you are not alone. In fact, you are a part of the majority! Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA, PN 2 coach will consider the more obvious reasons for overeating and she'll delve into the more difficult causes that tend to be hidden from view. Overeating tends to be multifaceted, which makes sense when you consider how complex humans are! For example, the relationship between overeating and interpersonal relationships is often a key factor that needs to be understood before it can be addressed. You probably already know that individuals' relationships with food can impact their relationships with others. For instance, someone who struggles with emotional eating may find it challenging to engage in meaningful connections with friends or family members, as their focus may be consumed by thoughts of food or body image concerns. This can lead to feelings of isolation and hinder the development of supportive social networks. Is there really a solution? Tune in to today's episode to find out! Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA &amp; PN2 Coach will show you some of the ways overeating quietly becomes a coping mechanism, and she'll offer ideas for how to safely overcome the strategies that once served you and now do not.   Light From The Shadows: Enriching The Lives Of Others Inspired Choices Network Hosts Author Michaela Gaffen Stone   Amazon.com – https://www.amazon.com/dp/1738249417 Amazon.ca – https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1738249417     ~ More About Navigating Complicated Relationships with Michaela Gaffen Stone ~  Michaela Gaffen Stone is a Behavior Expert, Speaker, Educator, Human Design Intuitive and Transformational Coach.

Is It REALLY A thing? – Michaela Gaffen Stone</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/laziness-is-it-really-a-thing-michaela-gaffen-stone--59282003</link><description><![CDATA[Navigating Complicated Relationships - Michaela Gaffen Stone  When was laziness invented? The word “lazy” first appeared in English around 1540; even back then, it was used in a judgmental way to refer to someone who supposedly didn't like work or effort. So where does the idea of laziness come from? Many etymologists believe it came from either the Middle Low German “lasich,” which meant “feeble” or “weak,” or from the Old English “lesu,” which meant “false” or “evil.” The idea that “lazy” people are weak and lack motivation, making them morally corrupt and evil, is still with us today. But is it really 'a thing'? Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA and Human Behavior expert will reveal the real meaning behind 'laziness' in this episode. While some studies of motivation suggest that laziness may be caused by a decreased level of motivation, lack of interest, and confidence which in turn can be caused by over-stimulation or excessive impulses or distractions, Michaela disagrees.

In this episode, Michaela Gaffen Stone Human Behavior expert, will look at ways stress affects us all and she'll offer some suggestions for much needed changes. How do you know if you need to consider some changes? Well, a classic symptom is if you know you are stressed out and tired of the daily drama that plays on repeat. Do you find yourself battling your way from Monday to Friday? Do you dread Mondays? Do you have aches and pains that have no clear cause? How about mood swings? If you have all or any of these symptoms, you are feeling the ill effects of stress on your mind, body and even in your relationships. In today's post pandemic world, the stresses we already had have increased significantly. Teen anxiety has skyrocketed, and they are not the only ones to feel it. We are at a breakpoint as a society. And that means you have a choice - rely on the over burdened health care system, which is now more of a disease management system, to manage your symptoms - OR you can take the responsibility and power in your own hands. Learn about the signs you are experiencing, and some possible actions you can take to keep the source of your wellbeing where it should be. In your hands. The question is, do you value yourself enough to take self- care over health care? Join Michaela today as she explores some options for self - care.

Emerging research has increasingly highlighted the significant impact of digestive wellness on various aspects of health and well-being, including autoimmune diseases, mental health disorders, and metabolic disorders. Depression, for example, may be caused in some cases by poor gut health. Most of the serotonin we produce is made in the digestive tract. Why is that important to know? well, serotonin is one of the happy hormones and so important for mental wellness! If serotonin levels are low and symptoms of depression are present, SSRI's may be prescribed. But what if we look at ways to improve your digestive health instead? That sounds good to me! Join Michaela as she shares much needed information about why you need to pay attention to your digestive health from top to bottom, as it were.

In this eye-opening episode, Michaela will shine a spotlight on the food industry, pharmaceutical giants, and the weight loss industry, uncovering the hidden tactics they employ to manipulate perception and obscure truth. Here are just a few of the key things you will take with you today: The truth about fad diets and quick fixes: Agnotology is the method used to persuade the public to try numerous fad diets and quick-fix solutions over their lifetime. Each one leaving the dieter poorer financially and convinced they have failed the diet, instead of understanding that the diet has failed YOU! How about the blame and shame that often accompanies dieting for weightloss? Agnotology! Between the weight loss industry telling you that the 'fix is easy' and the pharmaceutical giants offering a 'zero work' medical option, the subliminal message here is that YOU are the problem when easy fixes don't work. And they don't. Not long term, anyway. This can lead to increasing feelings of shame and inadequacy, further perpetuating the cycle of weight loss attempts and failures.

Maybe you have tried so many restrictive weight loss diets, the thought of counting another calorie is enough to send you into a downward spiral. Traditional diets aren't MADE to work, they are made to be a short term bridge, or a band aid if you will. They make money for the several billion dollar diet industry, and they keep you in a perpetual cycle of unwellness and unhappiness. They are not, nor will they ever be, ' a fix'. So how do you get from where you are right now to your ideal health, wellness and body weight? Is that even possible? You bet it is! Human Behavior expert Michaela Gaffen Stone BCBA, PN level 2 master coach, ACE certified health coach and currently WILDFIT coach in training, takes us on a journey through the lens of food psychology as we look at emotional eating and how to break that cycle once and for all. No willpower, no calorie restrictions and no banished or "bad' foods. Sounds too good to be true? No, it is simply something no one has offered you until now. Tune in to this episode and discover your path forward. Longer, more vital life, full of the energy you wish you had now. All of these goals and more have been achieved thousands of times before, and can be achieved by YOU. Michaela Gaffen Stone BCBA has the tools and processes you need!

Maybe you have tried so many restrictive weight loss diets, the thought of counting another calorie is enough to send you into a downward spiral. Traditional diets aren't MADE to work, they are made to be a short term bridge, or a band aid if you will. They make money for the several billion dollar diet industry, and they keep you in a perpetual cycle of unwellness and unhappiness. They are not, nor will they ever be, ' a fix'. So how do you get from where you are right now to your ideal health, wellness and body weight? Is that even possible? You bet it is! Human Behavior expert Michaela Gaffen Stone BCBA, PN level 2 master coach, ACE certified health coach and currently WILDFIT coach in training, takes us on a journey through the lens of food psychology as we look at emotional eating and how to break that cycle once and for all. No willpower, no calorie restrictions and no banished or "bad' foods. Sounds too good to be true? No, it is simply something no one has offered you until now. Tune in to this episode and discover your path forward. Longer, more vital life, full of the energy you wish you had now. All of these goals and more have been achieved thousands of times before, and can be achieved by YOU. Michaela Gaffen Stone BCBA has the tools and processes you need!

Think about this: Do you find yourself keeping quiet around people, walking on eggshells because you’re afraid of getting into a disagreement? Do you avoid expressing your opinions about topics you care about because other people often react with anger? Do family discussions about important decisions or behaviors seem to spiral into shouting matches? In this episode we’ll look at ways to drain the tension out of situations. Join Michaela Gaffen Stone and her special guest Alex W as we explore some steps to reconcile conflict by building mutual understanding, respect, and trust. Alex Weissenfels is an eccentric existentialist philosopher specializing in applied metacognition--figuring out how to change how we think to more effectively solve problems. With his engineering education and intense technical support experience, he can troubleshoot a variety of problems through research and testing. He can pick up knowledge of new systems rapidly with practice. What most interests him is resolving systemic issues so that problems do not recur. That includes helping people shift paradigms in order to understand things better and build more effective routines. Over the years he's put together a toolbox of foundational concepts to help people express what matters most and to provide a place to start learning how to overcome different kinds of obstacles. Most recently Alex has taken his experience with seeing the different perspectives across a wide variety of disagreements and developed a systematic approach for reconciling conflicts. This is the simplest, most impactful tool so far, and with it he's been helping people understand each other and frame situations constructively. That's how we can build a world we can all be proud of.

Michaela Gaffen Stone and Nichole Banks have got your back! From a young age, I possessed an innate entrepreneurial spirit. At the age of 23, I embarked on a creative venture that would shape my future and set me on a path of empowerment and transformation. Starting as a stencil artist using an airbrush, I discovered my passion for helping others unlock their full potential and achieve their dreams. My journey as an entrepreneur has taught me the importance of blending passion with purpose. By combining my artistic background, entrepreneurial drive, and coaching expertise, I have found my true calling in empowering women over 40 to embrace their unique journeys, redefine success on their own terms, and create lives of abundance and fulfillment. https://www.nicholebanks.com/Coaching ~ More About Navigating Complicated Relationships with Michaela Gaffen Stone ~  Michaela Gaffen Stone is a Behavior Expert, Speaker, Educator, Human Design Intuitive and Transformational Coach.

Kristina Coderre is a parent on a mission. And so much more. Her story is one most of us can resonate with: As parents, we are working hard to support everyone around us and we often neglect our own needs. When it finally gets bad enough that we search for solutions, we end up finding information like this: Burning out? No problem – just take a break, get some rest, get some exercise, get a few extra hours of sleep, and take a vacation! Then consider a power food diet! GAH! As a busy parent these solutions made Kristina feel completely defeated. None of those seemed possible for her. There was no opportunity for a break, she recalls that she couldn’t even pee without little hands coming under the door and shouts of “mommy mom mooommmmy”. Everyone needed her all the time. Get more sleep? This is hopeless. Parents need a completely new definition of self care – one that fits into the crazy schedule that we all keep and that will recharge our battery WHILE we are working and parenting and tending to the million other responsibilities that we take care of on a daily basis. We need a way to reconnect with ourselves that doesn’t involve a year abroad Eat, Pray, Love style. And we need something that works FAST so that our kids don’t end up suffering because we’ve put ourselves last for way too long. Tune in to this week's episode to learn how you can take real care of yourself while juggling the busy parent life. Michaela and Kristina have some great tips in store for you. Kristina helps busy parents combat anxiety and overwhelm, tap into their inner wisdom, and strategically build their most fulfilling life. She's a busy mom of 2, stepmom of 2 more, with a full-time job and two side businesses AND still finds rest, peace, and fulfillment in her daily life. It may seem like she is living the impossible dream. 5 years ago, Kristina would have agreed with you. She too believed it was impossible. In fact, she tried so hard to achieve happiness and fulfillment that she completely burned herself out. As she considered her situation, she knew there had to be a better way, and set off to find it. Kristina created the Mind BS Method to help busy parents find happiness and fulfillment in the daily grind so they can model a life of joy for their kids. In this episode, she shares her personal journey in overcoming burnout while parenting 4 kids and the solutions that blasted her into her best life. https://mindbs.ca/ FREEBIE: https://mindbs.ca/escapeburnout ~ More About Navigating Complicated Relationships with Michaela Gaffen Stone ~  Michaela Gaffen Stone is a Behavior Expert, Speaker, Educator, Human Design Intuitive and Transformational Coach.

Being the smallest sixth-grader at his summer camp, everything around him triggers his everyday struggles with anxiety, his Beast, making it impossible for him to do the same things other kids can do. In a constant state of worry, Cameron feels like a perpetual failure, his self-esteem crushed. That’s bad enough, but when Cameron learns that mythical monsters are trying to invade his camp, things go from bad to worse. Can Cameron control his anxiety and confront his Beast while battling an army of minotaurs, banshees, ghouls, golems, and other nightmarish monsters?" Fiction writer Mark Cheverton is a highly accomplished author who makes a real difference in children's lives by bringing awareness to problems faced by today's kids. Through his writing, Mark provides a safe platform for kids and their parents or teachers to explore a variety of coping strategies and above all, let's the child know they are not struggling alone. Mark and Human Behavior expert Michaela Gaffen Stone team up this week to bring you a highly valuable episode on helping kids with anxiety. You don't want to miss this! Buckle up and get ready for a thrilling adventure! Formally a high school Math and Physics teacher, Mark Cheverton came to writing later in life. In 2013, he wrote and self-published his 1st Minecraft-inspired action/adventure novel, to teach his son about bullying. Invasion of the Overworld, quickly rocketed up through Amazon, reaching an Amazon rank of 29. After gaining the attention of literary agents and publishers, he signed a contract with Sky Pony Press and continued writing, producing 2-3 books a year. At one point, he committed to writing a book every other month, a grueling task, yet the results speak for themselves; his books have been published in 31 countries around the world, translated into 27 languages, with over 2 million copies in print. His Minecraft novels have been on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publisher’s Weekly best-sellers list. Mark is still writing after 7-years of Minecraft novels, but has shifted gears. He is currently writing middle-grade fantasy, exploring Anxiety with a fantasy novel called Facing the Beast Within: The Anxiety of Cameron Poole. https://markcheverton.com/ ~ More About Navigating Complicated Relationships with Michaela Gaffen Stone ~  Michaela Gaffen Stone is a Behavior Expert, Speaker, Educator, Human Design Intuitive and Transformational Coach.

Do you find yourself wondering why that one child simply doesn't respond the way you want them to? You've tried talking, reasoning, maybe even shouting and threatening them with a lifetime of being grounded for an older child or perhaps frequent time outs for a younger kid. The teacher has a list of complaints ranging from 'does not pay attention and distracts others' to 'doesn't try hard enough' etc. Maybe the same things were said about you? Knowing your child's human design and how it interplays with their siblings' designs and with yours can move you a long way, and fast, to understanding why they do some of the things they do repeatedly. It's not that they wake up in the morning, wondering how to take on the world and everyone in it. They don't want to fight endlessly over the how, what, and when of the day. The chances are good that when you learn about your child's design, you will see that they are fighting for their true nature. And that doesn't fit into someone else's cookie cutter box. Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA has spent years of her life building a comprehensive understanding of what's at stake for the child, finding unique ways for parents to for the best results for everyone. Behavior change science gets you a long way, but when it comes to parenting using Human Design, understanding your child's unique design type can provide valuable insights into their needs, strengths, and tendencies. Michaela will use her Human Behavior Expertise to explore how Human Design and Behavior change science can be combined to help you better understand yourself and the dynamics between your child and the rest of the world.

How do you know if you are being a harsh parent or a permissive buddy? Do you know which one is healthiest for your child? It might sound easy at first thought, but is it? Do you find yourself "giving in" saying "just this once" while telling yourself it's okay because you are in charge? Perhaps you find yourself exhausted by endlessly saying yes to your child, even when you want to say no. If this is you, you may have grown up with a lack of boundaries coupled with sudden (and bewildering) changes in parental mood when your parent reached the end of their patience. If this is a pattern you recognize, stay tuned because we will be looking at what permissive parenting looks like - aka "Best Buddy", vs a boundary setting parent. While it may be fun to imagine yourself being best friends with your child, there is a whole lot of parenting and adulting that needs to happen before you can achieve a healthy, friendly relationship with your (adult) child. We're talking about one where your "parenting" is less obvious, and conversations are based on more of a 'level playing field'. Note that there are serious pitfalls to treating your child like an adult before they are one. Be ready to take notes on the distinctions Mikki will share with you today! In this show, Mikki Gaffen Stone will use her Human Behavior Expertise to explore how you can identify what style of parenting you use currently, and what behaviors you might choose to replace with effective options. The aim is not to judge, but to bring awareness to everyday patterns that may not be serving you or your child.

His story is utterly heart-wrenching and hugely important for all parents and educators to be aware of. The children who are subject to having one parent alienated from them by the other grow up often completely unaware of the manipulations they have been subjected to. They believe what they hear, because they really have little else to work with. And what child even considers that their parent could be lying to them? Mikki Gaffen Stone, BCBA is interviewing David Collier, best-selling author, international speaker and youth advocate. Most importantly he is a father to two amazing children. He grew up in London, Ontario, Canada expecting to become a police officer. However, a Child Care Worker position at a group home revealed how rewarding one-to-one support with youth can be. After witnessing the positive change made in a teen over twenty-five years ago, Dave decided this was his life’s mission. From personal experience, Dave passionately speaks on parental alienation, intimate partner violence, PTSD and issues facing today’s youth such as mental health. He believes in speaking the truth and is not afraid to show his vulnerability as he recounts his life lessons from a man’s and father’s perspective.

Do they ignore it when you say 'no'? Does talking to others about what you want and don't want feel a lot like whistling in the wind for all the notice they seem to take? If you are feeling an indignant "YES", the chances are good that you don't actually have any clear expectations for behavior established with these same people. The chances are also good that you are a part of Generation X, or are dealing with someone who is. Boundaries are hugely important for daily dealings and lead to building better, healthier and more sustainble relationships.

There you are, derailed and wondering why again. Self-sabotage shows up at the worst possible times and leaves us feeling like we failed ourselves and others. The spiral into self-criticism is almost inevitable from there. People say they 'fell off the wagon' or 'relapsed', but what does that really mean and is it true? Mikki disagrees. She's going to show you how plans and systems fail, people don't. Here's the early news: Your relationship with yourself has a LOT to do with this pattern. More specifically, any pattern of self-sabotage is there because it is a part of your identity. Wild, right? No expert plan or fool - proof system can overcome your belief in who you are. Now here's the GREAT news: It takes work, but you CAN change your story about who and how you are. You CAN change your identity to one that works for you! Mikki Gaffen Stone will use her Human Behavior Expertise to explore how Human Design and Behavior change science can be combined to help you better understand yourself and how to work with your design to shape &amp; build the aligned identity that really works for you, consistently getting the results you want.

Do you wish you were seen, heard and understood more? Do you find yourself wondering why it can be so difficult to be around certain people? Social expectations and family environments go a long way to shaping how much - or how little - we value ourselves, and that self-perception can set us up for relationships that become complicated at best and unhealthy at worst. As the first relationship we ever develop is the one we have with ourselves, Mikki begins deep diving into Human Design to find the real you under all that conditioning. After all, understanding how and why you relate to yourself the way you do is the first step towards understanding your interactions with others. Partners, colleagues, friends, children - they all respond to how you see yourself. You really can't rise above your opinion of yourself, and you can't expect others to value you more highly than you do! In this episode, Christine McIver, CEO of Inspired Choices Network will be talking with Human Behavior Expert Mikki Gaffen Stone and host of "Navigating Complicated Relationships" as she opens a new chapter in the unwritten book of "YOU" and shares how you can discover a whole new level of joy in your relationships.
