JC shares local show announcements and discusses social research on food, fitness, and body shaming, then outlines a practice from his book Enoughness: minimize minimizing language by removing words like just and only.
JC: If you're in the Twin Cities, I have a couple of shows coming up Saturday night. Alive and kick in Minnesota's premier senior rock ensemble. There are 20 tickets left before we sell out that house. JC: One of our ways to fight shame comes out of my book of Enoughness.
Good morning, Cadre. Hey, Jules. The storm is coming, but I don't mind. How's everybody doing? Hey, Chris Fortman. Nice to see you on the Care 11 the other day. Nice to see you, Jules. Thank you for always being sunshine here. Whether it's Friday, whether it's gloomy, whether it's the beginning, the end, the middle, the good, the bad, no matter what, it's always great to spend some time with you. TGI Friday, y'. All. My name is JC if we've never shared time and space together before, thank you for the opportunity to spend some time time with you.
Right now, I'm gonna plug. If you're in the Twin Cities, I have a couple of shows coming up Saturday night. So tomorrow night at the Phoenix Theater in Uptown, I'll be underscoring a show of people telling stories about when life kind of falls apart. So in between each of these wonderful storytellers, I will be doing kind of what I do here often, these little capsules of music. And the next Thursday, one week from last night, alive and kick in Minnesota's premier senior rock ensemble, which is empowering seniors to inspire everybody by singing rock music.
They're taking over Crooners Supper Club in the main room. There are 20 tickets left before we sell out that house. If you're around next Thursday night in Fridley, Minnesota, come and join us. Tickets, you can get them on Crooners website. Crooners Supper Club. Hey, guess what? I'm glad that you're here. I'm glad that I'm here. I know the things that I know and I care about you. One of the hats that I wear on top of my messy hair because I don't care is in the social research space. So a few years ago, I did the first.
I was part of a team that did the first comprehensive research on food, fitness and body shaming. I've talked about it before and I will talk about it again. The research showed that guess what? Inviting people to think that there's simple sounding solutions to complex problems, that that is the root of all shame. People go through this cycle that lead them to going like, I am definitely not enough and I need to fix myself because if I don't, I am the problem in this world. One of our ways to fight shame comes out of my book of Enoughness, which I often talk about on Saturdays.
And the headline of that chapter is that you need to minimize your minimizing language. So I always say, remove the justs and the onlys from your language as much as possible, or even more so. Consider when you're using those words, do they actually amplify your speech or do they dilute it? Do they.
