E382 – "Inner Voice: A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan Zeine." In this episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine chats with Dr. Ramin (Ron) Najafi, a chemist and entrepreneur committed to environmental advocacy. He is Emery Pharma's Founder, President, and CEO, a contract research organization focused on pharmaceutical development. Dr. Najafi invented the Ecological Funnel (ECO Funnel) and founded CP Lab Safety, which distributes over 200,000+ lab safety products worldwide, enhancing compliance with safety standards. In addition to Emery Pharma and CP Lab Safety, he has founded several other companies, including Nova Bay Pharmaceuticals, where he took the company public. With over 70 patents, Dr. Najafi combines scientific innovation with a strong commitment to safety and sustainability in laboratory practices. We will discuss his latest book, co-authored with Kelley Najafi, on the "7 Commandments to Save the Planet". Summary Dr. Ron Najafi, a chemist and entrepreneur, discussed his journey from working in the pharmaceutical industry to becoming an advocate for environmental safety. He shared his invention of a product that prevents laboratory pollution and its widespread adoption in the industry. Dr. Ron emphasized the importance of education in understanding the impact of human activities on the planet, citing examples such as the long-lasting effects of plastic waste and the disproportionate generation of carbon dioxide compared to the absorption capacity of trees. He concluded by stressing the need for individuals to take responsibility for their actions and to learn about the consequences of their choices on the environment. Dr. Ron and Dr. Foojan discussed the proper disposal of expired drugs, emphasizing that they should be returned to the pharmacy or manufacturer for safe disposal or recycling. They highlighted the issue of expired medications being thrown into landfills, where they can leach into the soil and contaminate the environment, contributing to antibiotic resistance and other health issues. Dr. Ron advocated for manufacturers to take responsibility for their products at the end of their life cycle, ensuring they are disposed of or recycled safely. Dr. Ron discussed adopting a product as a service, similar to software as a service, where the manufacturer is responsible for the product's longevity. He used the example of a refrigerator manufacturer to illustrate this point, stating that they should be accountable for their products, including disposal and recycling. Dr. Ron also shared his experience with a pharmaceutical company, where a faulty refrigerator was discarded after only six months of use. He emphasized the need for companies to reduce waste, reuse, recycle, and repair products, as outlined in his book. Dr. Ron and Dr. Foojan discussed the need for a circular economy, emphasizing the importance of recycling and reusing materials to reduce waste and protect the environment. They highlighted the negative impact of the current linear economy, which involves taking, making, and disposing of, and suggested that policy changes and regulations are necessary to guide companies toward a circular economy. They also discussed the potential for collaboration between different manufacturers to utilize each other's waste products and the importance of reducing plastic waste, which can harm the environment and human health. Dr. Ron shared that he and his wife have been working on this issue for 20 years and have recently published a book on the subject. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Ron discussed the need for revolutionizing food and energy production to save the planet. They highlighted the current chemically intensive methods of growing food and generating energy, which are detrimental to the environment and human health. Dr. Ron suggested the development of high-yield, less poisonous food production methods and exploring safer energy sources, such as solar and wind power. He also emphasized the need to consider the human cost of producing these energy sources, like cobalt mining in Africa. Dr. Ron concluded that solar and wind energy are currently the cheapest and most environmentally friendly options and should be further developed and utilized. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Ron discussed the importance of industry, policymaking, and consumer responsibility in addressing environmental challenges. Dr. Ron emphasized the need for consumers to educate themselves and take action, such as reducing waste, recycling, and demanding eco-friendly products from manufacturers. He also suggested implementing a deposit system for plastic bottles to encourage their return and creating a new industry that can repurpose plastics. Dr. Ron encouraged everyone to visit landfills and recycling centers to understand the issues better and write letters to their legislators to advocate for change. He invited people to contact him via email or LinkedIn for further discussions.

After losing his son to suicide, he was compelled to reevaluate his narrative — and look at how loss, mental health, and addiction can affect every aspect of a person's life. He's developed holistic treatment programs and advocates for improved mental health and addiction disorder treatments, as well as researching, writing, and public speaking about addiction, community, mental health, narrative, and social issues. This episode explores his new book "F*ck Happiness: The Search for Meaning in a World Gone Mad Chasing Happiness." Learn more about Shawn's work at shawnleonnowotnik.com # 1 on the 20 Best California Mental Health Podcasts list by FeedSpot. https://podcasts.feedspot.com/california_mental_health_podcasts/ Check out my website: www.FoojanZeine.com, www.AwarenessIntegration.com, www.Foojan.com Summary Dr. Foojan Zeine and Shawn Leonick discussed Shawn's book, "Fuck Happiness." Shawn shared the story behind the book's title, explaining that he initially researched happiness but realized the concept was not about happiness but meaningfulness. He shared his frustration with the initial path and how he eventually came to the title "Fuck Happiness" after realizing his mistake. Dr. Zeine expressed her appreciation for the book and shared her experiences with pursuing happiness, highlighting how societal norms and personal expectations can influence one's understanding of happiness. Shawn discussed the societal pressure to conform to certain expectations of happiness and success, which often leads to depression and dissatisfaction. He emphasized the importance of self-discovery and authenticity, urging people to question their passions and desires rather than unthinkingly following societal norms. Shawn also shared his journey, highlighting how he found his passion for psychotherapy and writing despite initial conditioning. He encouraged listeners to reflect on their lives and consider what brings them joy and fulfillment. Dr. and Shawn discussed the concepts of happiness and meaning, drawing on their shared understanding of human emotions and experiences. They differentiated between fleeting, superficial happiness, such as the joy from a drug or a short-term activity, and a more profound, lasting sense of meaning and purpose. Dr. emphasized the importance of relationships and connections in achieving this state of happiness, while Shawn used the metaphor of ordering a pizza to illustrate the difference. He suggested that happiness is like a fleeting pizza, while meaning is about sharing the experience with others and having deep, meaningful conversations. They also referenced a 100-year study on well-being and happiness, which found that meaningful relationships and connections were key to long-term happiness. Shawn and Dr. discussed the importance of meaningful connections in maintaining a stable baseline of happiness. Shawn emphasized that while happiness is fleeting, meaningful connections can provide long-term fulfillment. He cited the hedonic treadmill phenomenon, where people adapt to positive or negative life events and eventually return to their baseline of happiness. Shawn recommended focusing on nurturing family and close personal connections, which provide a stable foundation for happiness. Dr. shared his personal experience of changing his baseline from depression to a more stable state through therapy and self-work. Both agreed that meaningful connections are crucial for maintaining a healthy baseline of happiness. Dr. discussed the importance of finding meaning in life and being authentic. He emphasized that one can create meaningful connections with others by being authentic. Shawn agreed, adding that authenticity is a significant theme in his book and crucial for good relationships. He suggested that people should overcome the fear of judgment, practice self-compassion, challenge the idea of perfectionism, build strong relationships, internalize their sense of self-worth, and celebrate their uniqueness. Shawn also highlighted the importance of being vulnerable and open to feedback, as it allows for personal growth and development. They emphasized the importance of accepting the ups and downs of life and focusing on the present moment. They also discussed the idea of meaningfulness, with Shawn highlighting the importance of having a hopeful life and adding value to others. They concluded that meaningfulness transcends time and creates a legacy, improving the world.…

E389 – "Inner Voice: A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan Zeine." In this episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine chats with Cody Peterson who has been a student of spirituality and religion since childhood. Passionate about the teachings of Carl Jung, he found a profound intersection between Jungian teachings, transformation, and AA's Twelve-Step approach. Eleven + years sober, Peterson takes his spiritual practice very seriously, believing that his recovery (and his life) depends on it. He shares his insights into modern spiritual transformation through his writings and podcast appearances, teaching his audience to make peace with those parts of themselves that they’ve spent their lives avoiding, thereby unlocking transformative power they never dreamed possible. He is an avid outdoor adventurer and owner, with his wife, of a small construction company. His new book is Shadow of a Figure of Light/ The Archetype of the Alcoholic and the Journey to Enlightenment.

Cody explained the book's cover, which was drawn by a friend, and its connection to the story of Carl Jung's quest for his myth. He also mentioned Jaime D'Angelo, a character in the book, who discovered his spiritual connection through practicing with native Americans and using psychedelic mushrooms. Dr. shared his experiences with dream work and ayahuasca trips, noting the recurring ancient symbols he encountered. Dr. and Cody discussed the connection between psychology and spirituality, with a focus on the role of the subconscious and the concept of the shadow. Cody emphasized the importance of making the darkness conscious in the process of spiritual awakening, drawing on Carl Jung's ideas. They also discussed the symbolism of dreams and the collective myth, and how these relate to the human psyche. The conversation centered around Cody's book, "The Shadow of a Figure of Light," which explores the balance between spirituality and religion, and the acceptance of one's darkness as a source of spiritual vitality. Dr. and Cody discussed the commonalities between various therapeutic approaches, including psychotherapy, dream work, psychedelic treatments, and spirituality. They agreed that the first step in healing is to confront and accept the darkness within oneself, whether it's related to trauma, addiction, or other personal issues. Dr. emphasized the importance of self-acceptance and love for all parts of oneself, while Cody shared his personal experience as an alcoholic and drug addict, noting the parallels between Carl Jung's ideas and the 12-step program. Both agreed that the transformation experienced by addicts through the 12 steps serves as a prototype for psychological transformation in general. Cody discussed his perspective on alcoholism, drawing from Carl Jung's letter to Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. He suggested that alcoholism is a universal thirst for wholeness or union with God and that alcoholics are a prototype of this struggle. Cody also explored the concept of the archetype of the alcoholic, which he found had not been extensively written about. He emphasized the transformative nature of alcoholism, likening it to the prime material in alchemy. Cody highlighted the importance of accepting our murkiness and recognizing that everyone is in the same boat, rather than striving for perfection. Dr. discussed their personal experience with addiction, comparing it to other behaviors and substances. They shared their 30-year work in addiction recovery and opened an outpatient program. Dr. emphasized that addiction stems from a deep-seated unease and anxiety, and people often use substances or behaviors to cope. They noted that falling in love or finding a spiritual connection can be key to recovery, as these connections can guide individuals toward self-discovery and oneness. Dr. also highlighted the importance of self-reflection and daily work in managing addiction. Dr. and Cody discussed the concept of compulsion and its role in human life. Dr. discussed the concept of addiction and the delusion that people often fall into. He explained that people get hooked on a path that promises them a connection and wholeness, but this path is a path of destruction. The association between the addictive behavior and the desired connection is not accurate, leading people to believe that one more use will bring them closer to their goal. Dr. also mentioned that even people who have been sober for a long time can still have this delusion, believing that they can have one more time of using before they die.…

They highlighted the confusion and guilt that can arise from different approaches to addiction, such as tough love or being overly nice. Dr. Foojan noted that addiction can be functional or non-functional, affecting the family's dynamics. Dr. Licuanan emphasized the importance of a balanced approach, which he termed "assertive love" or "respectful boundaries." He warned against the dangers of harsh, unconditional love, which could lead to hopelessness and potentially tragic outcomes. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Licuanan discussed the importance of understanding addiction and its impact on individuals and their families. Dr. Foojan emphasized the need for individuals struggling with addiction to recognize their behavior's impact on others and take responsibility for their actions.

He also highlighted the importance of recognizing each family member's role and responsibility in perpetuating the addiction. Both agreed on the necessity of educating families about addiction before engaging in conversations about it. Dr. Licuanan discussed the concept of disease, emphasizing that there is no single definition and it can encompass various aspects of life, including mental health and substance use disorders. He suggested that everyone has their version of the disease, which can impact their lives. He emphasized the importance of operationally defining terms to ensure everyone is on the same page, particularly in group therapy settings. He highlighted the need to identify and address the actual problems within a family, not just focusing on the individual causing the most harm. Dr. Licuanan also discussed the concept of a 'coalition' or support system, which includes a primary and secondary support system. He stressed the importance of carefully selecting members of the primary support system to avoid fractures in relationships and a unified vision. Dr. Licuanan and Dr. Foojan discussed the importance of family involvement in the treatment process for individuals struggling with addiction. They emphasized the need for careful selection of family members to be involved in the initial phases of the process, as not all family members may be suitable or willing to support the individual throughout the treatment journey. They also highlighted the importance of creating a safe environment for family members to share their experiences and concerns, and to collaborate in supporting the individual in need of treatment. Dr. Foojan asked about strategies to manage resistance from the individual or the family, to which Dr. Licuanan responded by stressing the importance of upfront knowledge and understanding of addiction for family members.

He emphasized the role of guilt and fear in perpetuating the disease and the importance of setting boundaries and limits. Dr. Licuanan also highlighted the three inevitable consequences of untreated mental health or addiction: jail, institutionalization, or death. He advised families to accept these consequences and focus on what they can control, such as providing options and support. Dr. Foojan then asked about a step-by-step plan for getting a resisting loved one into treatment, to which Dr. Licuanan responded by emphasizing the importance of recognizing what one can and cannot control, and accepting the inevitable consequences of inaction. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Licuanan discussed the importance of calling the police in situations where a loved one is in imminent danger of harming themselves or others. Dr. Licuanan emphasized that law enforcement is increasingly receiving mental health education, which can lead to a more appropriate response. He advised calling 911 and providing as much information as possible about the situation, including any untreated mental health conditions or substance abuse. Dr. Licuanan also stressed the importance of hope and the power of family members to make changes in their loved ones' lives.…

He shared that this understanding gives us control over our emotions and responses rather than being at the mercy of external factors. He encouraged using this inner power to handle any challenge, as he believes that we are all capable of handling any situation that comes our way. Arjang emphasized the importance of spiritual connection and gratitude in overcoming these challenges. He shared a personal experience of losing his home to a fire and how the outpouring of love and support from the community and government agencies helped him cope.

Denise discussed the importance of self-reflection and mindfulness in personal and professional relationships, using the example of a pet's behavior as a reflection of one's mindset.
