Host explores the concept of thin space and shares Brittany's idea of scheduling mental breakdowns, guiding listeners to place themselves in the present to feel and process emotions.
Cadre: Brittany talked about the power of scheduling your mental breakdowns. How do you place yourself in the moment at hand to feel and experience the things that you need to feel. When we are in that space, we find really sensical things for us.
Hey there, Cadre. How are we doing on this Sunday, the last Sunday of July? Yeah, I think so. What's going on? What's going on in your world? Whatever it is, I hope it's something that you can place yourself in the middle of, something that you can find some play with, some energy from. Dr. Leah, Marisa, speak, Wonder. Nice to see y' all this Sunday. Cheers to you. Whatever this moment holds, I hope it's a moment that you can be in you. You know, our nervous system can go ahead and kind of take us out or it can protect us from, but there's always something.
My friend Jason, who I'm going to be sharing the stage with in the Minnesota Fringe Festival coming up, his mom passed away 20 years ago, 21 years ago, and he's a. He's a comedian. And I heard him on a podcast yesterday say, you know, my mom always said if you can laugh, if you can laugh through something, you can survive it. I think that's a really great way to look at thin space. If you can go ahead and find some presence, some emotion, some reaction to what's going on, that's your nervous system's response of.
We are processing, we are moving through, we are placing in perspective. So I hope that you are able to process the moment that you are in right now. I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. If you haven't checked out Brittany contributor Brittany's live stream from yesterday, I recommend doing so. I took Brittany's advice into my head, and I'll use it. Brittany yesterday talked about the power of scheduling your mental breakdowns. In other words, rather than trying to not have the bad thing or the ugly thing or the emotional thing happen until it happens, to give yourself space for it.
Another really great way to think about thin space. How do you place yourself in the moment at hand to feel and experience the things that you need to feel and experience in that moment? So give it a listen. But it was really interesting because there was one moment where Brittany was like, oh, I'm sure I'm going to get an email from Cadre saying, hey, don't tell people to schedule their mental breakdowns. But I'm like, no, that's kind of the thing I love about Cadre, right? This is a space where we are providing, through professionals and peers, many pathways towards being well.
And Brittany kind of goes through this. This journey of. Of going, wow, that was something that someone else told me. Brittany's on the. On the radio, Brittany's co host Kendall, said, brittany, have you scheduled your mental breakdown? Like, just as a passing comment, and it meant something to Brittany. So Brittany then raised that up to be like, wow, this is a really good thing for me to do, and then said that this may not be something that everybody finds as progressive or something that makes sense for them.
We find the things that make sense to us when we enter into the thin space, Right? The thin space is that space in between everything that has been, everything that will be, all the things that pull us slightly out of the crosshairs of the moment at hand. When we are in that space, we find really sensical things for us. You know, Speak Wonder is experiencing some thunderstorms right now. So often that's one of the moments when we enter the thin space where we go, ooh, something's happening that's inviting me, that's forcing me, that's reminding me to be where I am with what I have.
And honor that. We often talk about getting into the space or what happens when we're in the space. But I want you to think when we are in that space, aside from dancing in it, we learn how we most specifically and personally operate the best. So I hear, you know, Brittany say, hey, someone else said out loud, schedule your mental breakdowns. And that made sense to Brittany, and then Brittany said that to the world. And all of a sudden, maybe someone else hears that and goes, ooh, that makes sense to me.
When we enter into those spaces that are very much moment at hand, really, really cool things happen. I see Ms. Janet Paul just entered the space this morning. Nice to see you. My friend, Ms. Shannon Paul is one of those people who's invited me into the moments at hand. And in those spaces, I've heard ideas, I've met other humans that have allowed me to go, ooh, I now know a little bit more about how I operate, about things that, that I can put into my satchel and carry with me. Like, ooh, here's something I can use for my well being, for my placement, for my presence.
And in doing so, the more grounded and present I am, the more grounded and present other people can be as well. You know, funny enough, Ms. Shannon, I see you hopped in. You know, maybe not at the beginning. If you were here at the beginning. Leah and Marisa Speak Wonder. The rest of y', all, you know, I mentioned this, this, this, you know, this, this guy named Jason who I heard on a podcast yesterday, who dah, dah, dah, dah, Dah. Where did I meet Jason? I met Jason in a room that Ms. Shannon Paul invited me into.
All of these things tie together when we are present. Not like present like, ooh, be present like. No. When the thunderstorm booms, when we hear the idea from someone else, that also resonates with us. That's the thin space that we're looking for. And when we are there, we go. This makes sense to me. This does not make sense to me. This is something I need to carry with me. This is something I need to let. Go find that space and see what you find, y'. All. I hope you have a great Sunday ahead. I will be heading to Shell Lake Art center in Shell Lake, Wisconsin, after I finish up work this morning.
And I will be there for the duration of this next week teaching them youngins from around the world. And then I will be back on on Friday evening. I will still be right here every morning in the Cadre sphere. I'll be interviewing a gentleman named Josh Letty on Tuesday morning for Cadre Today. Outside of that, you're stuck with my ugly mug the rest of the days. And no matter what, no matter what's going on, jump into the Cadre sphere whenever you need to. Go ahead and feel like you're in that space.
Have a good time, y'. All. Bye.
