The Gabby Reece Show

My guest today is author and teacher of the method of self-inquiry known as THE WORK, Byron Katie. This is an interview I have wanted to do for several years because Katie is someone who has personally taught me and my family so much. I admit that trying to contain her and the work program into a linear conversation is pretty funny. Having a version of her own awakening close to 40 years ago, Katie shared that four questions kept coming to her: 1. Is it true? 2. Can you absolutely know it's true? 3. How do you react? What happens when you believe that thought? 4. Who would you be without that thought? I wouldn't even begin to try to simplify the profound impact that Katie's four questions have had on my own internal dialogue and the stories that I tell myself. She shares in her belief that our human suffering happens within the mind, and that her desire to help us be free from suffering is a big part of her mission. Being able to liberate ourselves from the memories of the past and the anxious anticipation of the future, even if just for moments, can have a profound impact on our lives and relationships. Enjoy.

My guest today is author and performer Colin Campbell. In 2019, Colin and his family were driving near Joshua Tree when their vehicle was T-boned by a drunk and high driver. Colin and his wife were in the front seat, and their two teenage children were in the backseat. His 17-year-old daughter, Ruby, and 14-year-old son, Hart, were killed in the crash. From the excruciating grief and suffering, Colin wrote his latest book, "Finding The Words," and his one-man shitshow. He looks directly in the face of rage, grief, denial, and trying to live when living does not make sense. This book shines a bright light on all corners of what people may experience through deep grief. It is not only a way for people to feel understood or seen but for supporting friends and family to know how better to support the people grieving. Each situation is personal, and there is no perfect science, but Colin does a beautiful and thorough job addressing many of the scenarios people may encounter. He shares some of the things they did, like keeping a “hate us” journal and writing an email before you head back to work on some ground rules. Colin addresses dealing with “firsts” and holidays. He shares that you are never out of the woods but can find ways to keep living and maintaining relationships while still honoring those that you have lost. Colin speaks of his and Gail's journey of fostering and adopting children. His courage and humor are both inspiring and shocking. His work is stunning. The dedication and love he and Gail have for Ruby and Hart shine eternal.

In this week's bonus episode, Elijah Allen Blitz and my discussion delves into the emergence of AI and its potential impact on various aspects of life. We discuss technology and the rapid growth of AI. We then shift to an exploration of loss and grief, particularly Elijah's experience with his mother's terminal illness and her courageous decision to stop treatment. This decision serves as a poignant reminder of the value of being of service to others. The conversation also touches on health, nutrition, and embracing AI as a tool for enhancing life. Enjoy!

My guest today is Latt Mansor. Latt received his PhD in physiology, which led him to studying cardiovascular health in people with diabetes. He then began to research how ketones impact cardiovascular health and how hypoxia can impact the heart and our health. Fast forward to today, working with Ketone IQ and exploring ways to correct metabolic inflexibility. We drill down on the difference between the keto diet, ketosis, and ketones in the bloodstream. Latt also delves into some of the confusion and research about nutrition and diet, as well as the difference between how a high-performance athlete is impacted by foods versus a householder. If you've ever wanted to know how to be as metabolically flexible and efficient as you can be, this conversation will be helpful in understanding just how to do that. Enjoy!

He shares his process to mentally prepare and keep anxiety at bay while simultaneously taming his competitive nature. In a sport that depends on mind over matter, William's techniques can apply to our day-to-day lives. Whether it's breathing patterns or the ability to manage personal anxiety and doubt, William compares diving into the unknown with taking on the stresses of life. Enjoy!
