Summary

Join me in a thoroughly uplifting episode with author Kristi Nelson. Kristi is a very special person, bright, educated, accomplished in the world of non-profit leadership. She is a wounded healer, having survived a terminal diagnosis of stage 4 cancer and lived. I rarely encounter a book where I agree with everything in it. I feel energized by practicing this simple but difficult practice. I tend to think and worry too much in a way that is draining. By reminding yourself to put your attention on all the good things, all the body parts that you still have and are in working order, the beauty of nature, the awesomeness of being alive empowers and enlivens me. Please join me in listening to this episode and I highly recommend listening to her read this wonderful book afterward. Learn more about Steven Hassan and Freedom of Mind Resource Center.

0:00.0	Hello, I'm Dr. Stephen Hassan with another edition of the influence continuum.
0:10.1	And as you know, as a regular listener, perhaps, I do a lot of content about undue influence
0:18.1	and destructive cults and how much they hurt the human spirit.
0:23.5	And I so am excited to introduce you to Christy Nelson because I read her book.

0:48.8	And I'm going to do a short intro, if I may, Christy. You are the executive director of a network for grateful living,
0:53.7	and your life work has been in the nonprofit
0:57.5	sector, focused on leading, inspiring, and strengthening organizations committed to progressive
1:04.1	social and spiritual change. And your story was about discovering you had cancer and just undergoing stage four,
1:17.4	um,
1:18.2	Hodgkin's lymphoma. And I was like, oh my God, that's what I had. I was stage two,
1:25.4	but it's, I still needed surgery and three months of chemo and 21 radiation.
1:31.3	And it was, you know, it was a real shock to have cancer.
1:35.2	I have cancer.
1:37.0	And for me, I relied on a clinical hypnotist psychologist to help me get through all my treatment.
1:45.8	So I would see this man Max weekly and he'd make a recording to just lower my fear and
1:54.4	lower my stress and prepare me for all of the ordeals of it. I can say so much more about your background. You've been
2:06.5	involved with Corpalu. You were leading the regional women's fund. I'm going to let you talk
