Summary: Only two days after the Boston Marathon bombing the city, the nation and all of us as individuals are still working to integrate this new tragedy into our understanding and the fabric of our lives and histories. One of the largest issues this kind of trauma brings up is the reality of our vulnerability. In the beginning of the show I spent some time honoring the city and the survivors, plus exploring the idea of vulnerability and how we move forward despite its magnified presence. One of my favorite things is to talk to trauma survivors who have healed – and then have decided to shine the light to help other survivors make the same journey. My guest was one of my new favorite people, Rose Caiola, the founder of Rewire Me, a new website whose community is committed to helping everyone along the healing path by combining the most useful ancient practices with the latest scientific discoveries. As the website says, “It’s the impact of the “aha” moments that truly lets us rewire ourselves. Seeing something in a new light can be a catalyst for recognizing and pursuing transformation and growth. We believe there are many ways to accomplish this, but that it comes about when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, experience true gratitude, and commit to the process.” In addition to discussing Rose's mission with the new site we also talked in depth about neuroscience and how the brain begins to make change. MEET MY GUEST: For Rose Caiola-Musacchia, Rewire Me is a dream realized. Her goal is to build a community where together people can learn, grow, and transform into their best selves. Rewire Me is a place for mutual inspiration; a resource to enlighten and guide you on our journey toward wholeness and balance Rose says, “Each of us has our own unique journey. We believe that there is no one path to self-awareness.”
