Summary

This week, I’m talking to Elizabeth Stanley, PhD. Elizabeth is an associate professor of security studies at Georgetown University and the author of Widen The Window: Training Your Brain and Body To Thrive During Stress and Recover From Trauma. She’s the creator of Mindfulness-Based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT)® – and her research has been featured on 60 Minutes, ABC Evening News, NPR, and in Time magazine, among others. An award-winning author and U.S. Army veteran with service in Asia and Europe, she holds degrees from Yale, Harvard, and MIT. She’s also a certified practitioner of Somatic Experiencing, a body-based trauma therapy.

In this episode, Elizabeth and I discuss trauma recovery, the damaging effects of always pushing through, the epigenetics of stress, how stress responses can be contagious, respo, why breath-focused meditation is not always right for unprocessed trauma and stress, memory capsules, and being a trauma magnet. 

Here’s Elizabeth:

Someone DM me the other day and said, I know you're always talking about Buffy on the podcast, but would

0:05.8

you actually recommend them for my family's bedding? Yes, 100,000% yes. I told them I can't imagine

0:14.1

having another comforter on any of our beds ever again. I'm a little bit obsessed with Buffy.

0:20.6

Buffy's products are made of only sustainable

0:22.4

and recycled materials. Their breeze comforters are 100% plant base entirely made of eucalyptus fiber,

0:28.7

which is softer than cotton and uses 10 times less water to produce. It also makes it completely

0:34.5

cruelty-free. And their breeze comforter is actually very breezy.

0:38.8

It lives up to the name. My son runs extremely hot, especially when he sleeps. Pre-buffy breeze,

0:44.9

I would go in, kiss him good night, and this pillow and sheets where like someone spilled a glass

0:49.9

of water on them, he was sweating that much. And then I got him a breeze two Christmases ago.

0:55.4

And now when I go kiss him good night, there's no sweat. And I still am amazed how much this

1:00.5

breeze has worked. Since working with Buffy over the years, it's really made me think more about

1:05.5

our bedding, how I want bedding that not only feels good on our bodies, but is good for the earth

1:10.1

too. It can feel like a

1:11.7

small change to put our dollars towards products that matter, but I think it will make a huge

1:16.0

impact in the long run and just be less sweaty too. If you want to try Buffy for free and get

1:22.7

$20 off your comforter, head to Buffy.com and enter code one part at checkout. And when I say try it for

1:29.7

totally free, I mean that. If you don't like it, you can ship it right back. No questions ask. They

1:35.2

won't charge you. That's Buffy.com and enter code one part, O-N-E-P-A-R-T at checkout. When you go to the

1:42.6

checkout, they won't even ask you to pay. Just enter the code so you get $20 off once you decide to keep it. That's Buffy.com, code one part for $20 off your comforter.

1:54.6

Endometriosis isn't just about painful periods. It can be a complex and debilitating condition that affects everything from mental health

2:01.8

to relationships and careers, leaving many feeling helpless and alone. So I wanted to help, and I wrote a book
