What Is Pain DeGrowth? 24:47

منذ 2 years24:47

24:47

Medication and surgery works for all sorts of different diseases. But they frequently do not work to cure chronic pain...and I know this very well because I have been living with chronic pain for well over a year and nothing doctors gave me worked. So I have been on a pretty intense journey to heal myself and I've discovered a number of non-drug non-surgery ways to significantly reduce the amount of pain I feel in a given day. They work for me. And from what I can tell, they work for hundreds of thousands of other people. I am not 100% "cured", I still have bad days...but I have SIGNIFICANTLY reduced my reliance on pain medication. And, most importantly I have discovered how to stay hopeful and happy despite the pain. This is true for almost everyone who uses these tools. If you or someone you care about suffers from chronic pain (migraines, back or leg pain, elbow or neck pain...ANY PAIN that's long term and wont go away) I strongly recommend you give these things a try. You dont have to believe they work. You dont have to want to do them. Just give them a try! My five ideas to help ease your chronic pain: 1. Go to Curable Health and try it out for a month: https://www.curablehealth.com/ 2. Listen to some doctors explain the pain cycle...and how to break it: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tell-me-about-your-pain/id1503847664 3. Listen to some people who significantly reduced their pain which can give you the inspiration you need to believe you can get better: https://www.curablehealth.com/podcast?gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIveqXyarhgAMVw4VbCh0pjwUOEAAYASAAEgItQfD_BwE 4. Watch some videos on Cold Plunging with Wim Hof: https://www.facebook.com/reel/6995193690493339 5. Read a book on the science and history of breathing by James Nestor: https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/ And a bonus: listen to my episode on how to gradually reduce your pain medication. You can also follow me on instagram @whatsthisplacepodcast. I would love to hear how the process was for you. Email me at miranda@theodore1922.com. Enjoying the podcast?

What is "Grow-With-Me" Clothing? With Lindsay Down from Pure Colour Baby 31:58

منذ 2 years31:58

31:58

Everyone thinks that December is peak "fat pants" month. But I'm going to suggest that March could give December fat pants are run for their money. In December you're still coasting on the last remains of summer energy: going for walks or riding your bike to work. But then January. And God, February! The bike has been locked up for weeks. Summer energy is a distant memory. And all that hibernation stuff that I talked about in the chat GPT episode, the slowed metabolism, the inward journey, the quiet season...it's really great for your mental wellbeing but it can take a toll on your waistline. By the end of March, the pinch of those pants, it is too much to bear. You need to let them out. Enjoying the podcast?

Who Is Amanda McCarty and What is Clotheshorse? 41:36

منذ 2 years41:36

Born during the darkest days of the pandemic, Clotheshorse The Podcast, took everyone behind the scenes of Fast Fashion...what REALLY goes on to make us soooo addicted we stop caring about the people who make the clothing. Amanda McCarty, the creator of Clotheshorse has worked retail her whole life. She's worked on the floor, she's worked in the head offices, she's been a consumer like me. Amanda paves a path, both for people to get more conscious about their clothing consumption consumption, but also to get more conscious about working in retail. Retail and wholesale is the largest employment sector in both Canada and the US employing more people than agriculture or manufacturing or healthcare! It's huge. But as you might know, retail is under a huge transformation...some even call it The Retail Apocalypse! By 2030, a mere 7 years from now, there will likely be 1 MILLION fewer jobs in retail than there are now. In fact, Retail may lose it's crown as the largest employment sector. So what to do? How do we transition out of a retail culture into whatever is next (a warehouse culture?!) I asked Amanda and she has some sage advice for people trying to transition out of retail. So who is Amanda McCarty and what is Clotheshorse? Let's go inside and find out. Enjoying the podcast? I am fiercely independent, and rely on listeners like you to help me stick around.

New Circles: How to Create a Legacy 42:44

منذ 2 years42:44

This episode, What's This Place? goes behind the bricks and mortar of New Circles, a multi dimensional, not-for-profit agency here in Toronto. New Circles helps alleviate poverty through their free clothing bank GLOW (Gently Loved Outfits To Wear)...and if I am being honest, that's all I thought they did! But once I went behind the bricks and mortar, I discovered that GLOW is a jumping off program for so much more... They offer free employment skills training and newcomer settlement support programs. They benefit the environment by diverting 300,000 lbs of clothing from landfill every year. I ask Cindy Blakely, the founder of New Circles, all my usual origin story questions ...but the answers were not what I was expecting. Find out how one woman created a legacy that benefits tens of thousands of people every single year. How did it all start? And how has it survived the Covid Era? Let's go inside and find out.
