Hi, I'm Erin, compassion mentor and host of the MetaMentoring Podcast. I love helping people access more self-awareness and empathy. Sharing empathy-building techniques is my way of spreading peace in the world. And I definitely wish for a world with more peace and understanding.In this podcast, I will explore ideas related to learning, connecting, and healing - but in a reflective "meta" way. I'm learning (and making mistakes) right along with you! Join me as I speak with thoughtful guests, have reflective conversations with friends, and play with my own ideas related to social issues, healing (I have a rare autoimmune lung disease), education, and parenting. I like to use my understanding of Nonviolent Communication and natural learning philosophies when I explore topics I am curious about. If you enjoy my work, I invite you to check out my website and sign up for my learning community. I offer free NVC workshops once a month to practice empathy and self-awareness in community. If you like this podcast, please consider leaving a positive review, sharing my podcast with someone else who might enjoy listening, or contributing to my Patreon account. I look forward to learning together!Erin
It's been a year and 2 months since I was treated for my rare autoimmune disease, and now I've got a book describing my descent into disease and the impact compassion had on my health. What a difference a year makes! In this recording, I read aloud the introduction to my book, "Finding Ahimsa". I hope my introduction gives you a taste of what the book will be like and whether you would enjoy reading it. It's an emotional book. My book is available for purchase in paperback and ebook. ...

Ep. 010 - Discussing Negative Positivity with Susie Schwartz
Have you ever struggled to find the right words to say to someone navigating disease or chronic illness? Perhaps you want to be supportive but nothing sounds quite right? Or maybe you have a chronic illness or disease or something you're grieving and you've been on the receiving end of comments from others that miss the mark and leave you feeling more alone? If you answered yes any of these questions, you'll want to listen to this conversation I have with Susie "Learning about Negative Positi...

Ep. 009 - Making Decisions Based on Needs with my NVC Practice Group (Part 3/3)
Have you ever felt really emotional and made choices based on your initial reactions? Or have you felt so discombobulated and desired relief so deeply, that you followed other people's advice without feeling much relief in the end? Or have the people around you felt triggered by your pain and pressured you to take action based on relieving their discomfort or meeting their needs? I think these things have happened to all of us, but they don't have to. We can practice self awareness techniqu...

Ep. 008 - Exploring Protective "Jackal" Feelings with my NVC Practice Group (Part 2/3)
Have you ever felt so passionate about something that you became pushy or forceful? Did you ever feel so "right" in your beliefs that you reached strongly when others weren't doing what you thought they "should"? It happens to all of us. In fact, this part of us that shows up with passion is trying to give us clues as to what we wish to value or what we wish others around us would value. In this recording, my NVC support group (Sonia, Liz, Char and I) reflect upon my experience of being sex...

Ep. 007 - Exploring Feelings and Needs with my NVC Practice Group (Part 1/3)
Have you ever experienced a boundary violation that left you confused, discombobulated, and questioning whether you interpreted it right? In this episode, I explore one of the first boundary violations I experienced when I was re-emerging in the world after a long period of not engaging with the world due to being sick and the healing from my rare disease. When I experienced a boundary violation, sexual harassment, my body reacted differently than my brain. I felt confused and uncomfortable...

Ep.006 - Why It Takes So Long To Bouce Back
I've been trying to get back to the work I love to do, and it's taken me so long to get back into it. Even after I was physically doing really well, emotionally I felt too fragile to return to work that requires reflection, connection, and vulnerability until very recently. I decided to make this the topic of my first solo recording after taking a year-long break due to illness. Although I felt a push (from where?) to get back to work and resume life, upon reflection, my instincts to go slo...

Ep. 004 - Bullying
Bullying has been a topic I've been interested since encountering it as a teacher at the start of my conventional teaching career. I was struck by how common it is experience bullying... And how sadly ineffective we've been at curbing peer on peer violence. In this podcast I'll explore how bullying and aggression are related, circumstances that lead to youth engaging in aggression and bullying, characteristics of bullying victims, what doesn't work to lessen bullying and what does. This is...

Ep. 003 - Boundaries and Consent
Boundaries and consent are hefty topics and very much related to the way we parent. How can we create space for our kids to develop their capacity to identify, express, and uphold their boundaries and receive expressions of boundaries and consent from others? What happens if we don't give our kids ample space to develop these skills? How can we play an advocacy role with our kids and others? These are big questions that I'm excited to explore and share with you. Check me out at: https://meta...
