By: Robin Duncan
  • Summary

  • Join your eccentric Auntie Robin for this monthly podcast In which we will embark on what is called the Hero's Journey, to discover our true authentic self. For this revolution we are going to look at our belief systems, how we respond to things in our lives, learn how to control our emotions, learn how to heal our past trauma, connect back to your authentic self, and learn how to listen to your own inner voice instead of others. We will be utilizing a variety of methods based in Psychology, Cognitive Behavior therapies, Somatic exercises, Breathwork, various meditation, as well as a pinch of spirituality, learning what brings us joy, how to use your emotions as a tool for a better understanding of ourselves.

    I am doing this podcast cause this last election I watched as the political parties of this country used our anger and frustration at the world in order to gain power. As a proud card carrying member of Gen X, I can tell you this all started when we were kids and has only gotten worse over the last 50 years. The current administration has several plans that they want to force through during their term. But every force has to deal with counter-force. Yet, Power, TRUE POWER is unmovable and is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests. Well the tempest lands Jan. 20th, and they want to keep us divided and angry so we don't rise up. But I have radical, bat-shit crazy, revolutionary idea that can change with world, and it starts with you. We have forgotten how to live OUR lives for ourself, and instead have succumbed to programing, ideal and traditions that have been passed down to from previous generations. The true revolution this time needs to start from with in each one of us. We must break from the past programing, and ideals that have been passed on to us. Cause the real reason we are angry is because we no longer believe or want the same things as the Boomer and generations before. It is not who WE are. But WE need to know WHO we are in order to CREATE a new future that Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha and every generation after us can thrive in. This is the last time the Boomers will be in charge, giving us 4 years to figure out what we want for our future. But before we do that. We need to clear out the bullshit programing from the world, our families, our friends, our work. The founding fathers original motto for the United States is a Latin phrase E Pluribus Unum or Out of the Many, One. And that is what I ask of all of you. We need to become ONE, but one with ourselves first. We need to see who are we and what do we believe in, we need to develop radical self love for ourselves, we need to clear out the programing that previous generations have put upon us, to see what we believe in, and to create something that has never done before. So we need to heal ourselves. So We The People, the many, can become one. So lets start a revolution and become one with ourselves. You ready my lil punks?

    In our latest podcast episode, we delve into a transformative journey of self-discovery that empowers listeners to embrace their true selves. This exploration begins by examining the beliefs that shape our identities, many of which stem from societal expectations or past experiences. Through understanding these beliefs, we can identify which ones no longer serve us and work towards creating an authentic narrative rooted in self-love and empowerment. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their inner dialogues, recognizing where limiting beliefs manifest as self-criticism or feelings of victimhood. In doing so, we can learn to challenge these narratives and see our circumstances through a lens of opportunity for growth rather than regret.

    As we navigate the emotional landscape, the concept of radical self-love takes center stage. This approach emphasizes the importance of treating oneself with kindness, compassion, and understanding - a practice that can often feel foreign in a world rife with self-doubt and criticism. We discuss actionable steps towards self-care that involve nurturing the mind, body, and spirit, encouraging our audience to carve out time each week to engage in activities that resonate deeply personally, thereby fostering a sense of balance and well-being.

    Recognizing and articulating our feelings is a crucial aspect of this journey. We must acknowledge the presence of emotions like anger, frustration, or impatience and engage with them rather than instinctively suppressing or ignoring these feelings. The listeners are guided through techniques to engage with their emotions, allowing for processing and understanding rather than escalation. This dialogue encourages introspection, giving our audience a chance to ask themselves meaningful questions and promoting emotional intelligence.

    We also dive into the tricky territory of assumptions—the tendency to interpret others' actions through a highly personal lens. By exploring various hypothetical situations, we challenge listeners to uncover multiple perspectives that could exist beyond their initial reactions. This shift in thinking not only fosters empathy but also liberates individuals from the emotional weight of misinterpretation and judgment. As we unpack our assumptions about ourselves based on others' perceptions, we empower listeners to take control of their self-definition, reminding them that only they hold the authority to define their worth and narrative.

    Another significant topic discussed is the power of community and genuine connections. In a world that often incentivizes individualism, we emphasize the necessity of surrounding ourselves with supportive, uplifting individuals who honor our journeys. This segment encourages the audience to engage actively with their communities, nurture relationships that energize rather than drain, and cultivate environments of understanding and acceptance. The importance of communication in forging deeper connections is highlighted, as we seek to find our “people” who resonate with our authentic selves.

    As we wrap up the episode, we stress the ongoing nature of this self-discovery journey—acknowledging that it requires patience, practice, and perseverance. Each small action, each moment of self-awareness, and each connection built contributes significantly to the overarching goal of living authentically. Our call to action invites listeners not only to reflect on these themes but also to apply them proactively in their lives, committing to nurturing their relationship with themselves in a radical, loving way, and engaging positively with the complexities of personal and social dynamics.

    This new season of the Kicked Can Generations podcast invites you to embark on a profound exploration of the beliefs we were raised with, our trauma/generational trauma and the healing power of self-love. We delve into the courage required to distance ourselves from negative influences and embrace our unique strengths, even amid societal and political chaos.

    Have you ever wondered how deeply ingrained beliefs shape your sense of self? Journey with us as we uncover the profound love affair with our authentic selves. Here, we challenge inherited beliefs and embrace self-awareness, learning to set personal boundaries and find joy amid life's challenges. Through meditation, cognitive behavioral strategies, and somatic practices, we aim to retrain our minds and bodies to recognize our emotions and intuition, fostering independence from the need for external validation.

    Our adventure doesn't stop there. We invite you to question how cultural and familial influences have molded your worldview. Imagine the life shifts if raised in a different culture, discovering new passions that align with your true self. As we navigate these reflections, keep a "finding joy" list handy for those tough days and remember to be kind to yourself. With support through social media connections, we continue this journey together, seeking inner alignment and understanding the powerful difference between reacting and responding to life's complexities.

    The Revolution is YOU my Punks!
    Have you ever felt trapped by the expectations of others and the world, yearning to break free and embrace your true authentic self?

    Join me, your eccentric Auntie Robin, as I share my own journey of self-discovery and healing, offering you a roadmap to empowerment and self-love. Drawing from my experiences as a neurodivergent individual, I invite you to reconnect with your ancestors and spirit guides, as we unite to rebuild our communities in a world that often seeks to divide us.

    In this episode, we explore the importance of understanding our emotions and liberating ourselves from the clutches of our own thoughts, and expectations from the world. We will be uncovering the generational traumas and triumphs that shaped the Greatest Generation, Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha. From the Great Depression, WW1, WW2, to 9-11, these pivotal events left indelible marks on their identities and parenting styles. Looking at the Generations, and how they have echoed their disfunctions through time and molding a complex tapestry of cultural norms and beliefs that effect how we think and act. Join us as we reflect on these generational histories and cultural trends, offering fresh insights into our shared legacy and the path forward. So we can reclaim ourselves.
