In instances where our bodies and our innate wisdom are speaking to us, it can be tempting to see those messages as problems. But when we see them for the wisdom they carry and stay open to the messages these &#8216;problems&#8217; have for us, we begin to see that they are always trying to help us on our paths as human beings.You can listen above, on <a href="https://alexandraamor.com/unbroken-podcast/">your favorite podcast app</a>, or watch on <a href="https://youtu.be/-5NmTreZNCw?si=lNPd2v6vQB23-AiH" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a>. Notes, links, resources and a full transcript are below.Show Notes* When a good sleeper encounters a bout of insomnia<br /> <br /> * Discovering insightfully that is people pleasing tendencies keeping me awake<br /> <br /> * How insomnia does not mean that I’m broken or that my ability to sleep is broken<br /> <br /> * How insomnia, like overeating, is feedback about our mental state<br /> <br /> * What is insight and how does it arrive?<br /> <br /> * On the universal intelligence that is always flowing through all of usTranscript of episodeHello explorers and welcome to Q&amp;A episode 50 of Unbroken. I&#8217;m Alexandra Amor.Before we get started today, I want to have a little mini celebration with you. Because this is q&amp;a Episode 50. That means there are 100 episodes have Unbroken now. 50 episodes like this q&amp;a one and 50 interview episodes. I&#8217;m pretty happy and proud of that milestone and I thank you for being with me here along for the ride, however long you&#8217;ve been joining me.It’s a real pleasure for me to be here to do this every week, and to share what I see with the aim of helping others, of supporting and uplifting and sharing what has made such a big huge difference in my life. So here&#8217;s to another 100 episodes. I aim to be around for the next year as well.February 14, 2024 will be the one year anniversary of the current website and the Freedom From Overeating course and Unbroken podcast. So we&#8217;ll celebrate that as well.Today’s q&amp;a episode is going to involve a bit of a story. I&#8217;m also going to give you some background to give some context for what I&#8217;m about to share. And this story today has to do with insight, it has to do with our unbrokenness, which is really nice given that this is the 100th episode. So let&#8217;s get started.I&#8217;ll begin by telling you that about towards the end of 2023, October or November, there came a situation. I should back up a little further. I&#8217;m on the board or I was on the board of a little nonprofit that exists here in the town where I live. It&#8217;s a nonprofit housing society, independent living for seniors in the Ucluelet area. I&#8217;ve been on the board for a couple of years. And there&#8217;s one paid position in this organization. And the building is just a small, like, it looks like an apartment building. It has 10 apartments, all for seniors.And it&#8217;s independent living, like I said, so everybody is independent. They really don&#8217;t need any kind of assistance with mental health or physical chores or that kind of thing. Some of them can get care workers to come in, but 80% 90% of them don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s like an apartment building. And there&#8217;s one paid position. And it&#8217;s an administrative position that is 15 hours a week in the building. The woman who had been doing it was of retirement age. And also, she had been with the organization for five years and had brought the people, the tenants through the pandemic. And so she was feeling a little bit burnt out.So at the end of 2023, the board kind of came to a little bit of a crisis point in that this woman wanted to retire. And we had done some interviews looking for someone to take the position and couldn&#8217;t really find anybody who we felt would be a really good fit either because they weren&#8217;t available at the times we needed them to be or that kind of thing.
