491 Jeremy Grater: How to embrace vulnerability as a strength
Jeremy Grater is a married father of two young girls and lives in rural British Columbia. He’s been in the broadcasting and podcasting business for about two decades. Jeremy is a certified REBT Mindset Life Coach.
His journey to wellness started later in life and he describes the first steps this way:
“One morning several years ago I injured my knee by simply getting out of bed. That injury led to physical therapy where I was told to get on a bike as much as possible or risk replacing my knees. I took the advice to heart and began bike commuting as much as possible.
That nine-mile trip took me on a much longer and more important journey. I found the chaos of surviving the ride to be somewhat therapeutic because I was forced to let everything go and focus on the moment or risk serious injury or worse.
Coincidence or not the next stop on my path to healing was a therapist’s office. There I learned to apply what I was learning on my bike to what became a semi-regular practice of meditation, experimentation with Yoga, and eventually a commitment to make a change.
The changes I’ve made and continue to make are small. I eat better, but not great. I exercise often but go easy on myself when I can’t or simply don’t want to. I meditate when I can quiet the voices telling me not to. I go to therapy…a lot.
I do all of these things in order to feel better physically and emotionally. I hope that sharing my journey from a knee injury to a lifetime of healing will help you feel a little less alone in your own journey…wherever that may lead you.”

462 Tom Spooner: Why Legal vs Illegal Substances are more Deadly for Warriors
Spot on.
There is still glucose (the monomer-sugar) in dates. So still a high peak of insulin right after consumption. I love dates and such, but the “good” sugar you find in dates and similar is just sucrose, the standard white granulated sugar you find in the supermarket. I hate that people say that the sugar in fruits and dates and honey and stuff is better than granulated sugar (without high fructose corn syrup), because it isn’t. It’s both very important for your body and very bad in masses. Nothing against the rest of the video. You need the package around the sugar. It is the package that makes the dates healthier than swallowing a tablespoon of sucrose.
Dates have a low glycemic index (GI) because their natural sugars are balanced with fiber, which slows digestion and prevents rapid spikes in blood sugar. Unlike refined sugars, the fiber in dates helps release glucose more gradually, providing steady energy without the sharp rise and fall in blood sugar levels. This makes dates a healthier option for sustained sweetness. Look after yourself!
That true
Great!!!!
Thank you!
I'm glad she got away BUT a lot of times , telling a victi m just to leave is the worst thing you can do, because when they try to leave , they usually have NO where to go , the abu ser has made it where they have No have No where to go, and like where I live No one is going to let you stay with them, Not family, Not friends, and churches will never help you, and A lot of times the shelter for women has people that the ab user knows like in a small town. In a small town like here where I live homeless is a death sentence , one guy died from being homeless before I got here. If you just leave with nowhere to go, you will be homeless, I wish people would understand that and quit telling victims just to leave, it would be better if they would just be their friend , and help them out.
Hi, there. Thank you so much for your comment. I am sorry to hear about your story - I assume that there is more than a bit of truth behind your words. Here in New Zealand we have places such as the women's refuge, which helps women to get out of dangerous situations. Equally, churches and other organisations are willing to put their money where their mouth is, although that means resettling in a different part of the country. There are ways out, although none of them are easy and your life will be changed forever. Yet, there is hope!
YT won't let me like this. Consider this comment my thumbs up for bringing these issues to light.
Thank you!!!! Let's make this world a better place - one interview at a time!

I heard Jenni Jessen's story a few years ago and I will never get over it. Today, every time I see a little girl in a store I wonder if she is being abused.
Thanks, great presentation about the ordeals of these Marines.
Thank you, my friend. Many of us nowadays can't imagine those times and actions. Yet, with 56 active conflicts in the world in 2024 many men and women do have no other choice than be stronger than they ever thought they could be. Look after yourself!
Great interview! I'm so proud of my cousin!!
I could not agree more!
Yayyyy!!!! I just found this !!!! This was such an awesome interview 🙌 thank you for having me
It was a pleasure and honour to have you on my show!!

❤❤❤Your video is just amazing❤❤❤
Thank you, Stephan, for an insightful and empowering conversation! -Jennisue
Genius!!! It’s one thing to want to solve the problem. It’s another thing to be smart enough to absorb all of this medical information, devise a treatment, Apply and practice on yourself, work with clients for years, and then build a system for people All over the world. ! Wow! Bravo and congratulations
I could not agree more!
It was so wonderful to connect! I'm still getting out in the garden for 5 minutes. I hope that everyone who watches the podcast enjoys the conversation.
I loved being on your show! Such a great host you are, Stephan. I look forward to returning sometime in the future.
Great sharing some time with you, Dr. Stephan! I really enjoyed this conversation.
It was an honour and privilege 🙂
Thank you so much for having me on the show!
It was an absolute honour and privilege
Thanks for having me as your guest Stephan!
It was a pleasure and an honour!!!
great interview. You are both great speakers!
Thank you, Don. I am honoured to have such wonderful guests.
You both sound so much like me! I have a lot of the same background, which has done wonders for my own self and clients I serve. I agree with so much - especially not being a fan of the label "survivor," which is why I write and speak about Getting Past Survivor. I personally don't like to name what that place is when we get to the other side of survivor because it's unique to everyone. Good to have heard this conversation.
Thank you, Helen. Making the world a little bit better, one interview at a time!
What an amazing exchange. I feel so much empathy and sadness when she says she knew she was alone at eleven years old. So heartbreaking. Stephan is so insightful and obviously passionate about mental health. I really admire Holli. Her work has given me hope to begin addressing and healing from betrayal in a meaningful way. Thank you so much for posting this!
It was an absolute pleasure to chat with you - one of the most fun podcasts I've had the pleasure of being on. I feel like we should hang out haha
Hi, Josh, I could not agree more!!!! You are an amazing guest and this subject needs to be shouted from the roof tops!
Agree around the 10 minute time stamp agree with Hannah I think the previous private public world boundaries have eased into public but self worth & value has always been not taught. The previous society was morally regulated & policed. Now that has eased. Internet has enabled private to become more public. The mental healing of therapeutic modalities are still outside culture & many are unaware of their value. That needs change & requires state funding & professional effectiveness tracking
What a deep and meaningful reply. I appreciate that! With the use of social media in 2024 our life has forever changed. I remember amazing parties I organized in the 80s where there was an understanding that no pictures were taken and we all had a tremendous time, including the next morning when we came back together for brunch, and were surprised who returned with whom. There was a gentleman's agreement in play and we all had a great time. Nowadays, 80% of teenagers send or received dick picks, and people are surprised about their privacy being displayed for everyone to see. At the same time, trauma is at an all time high, at least the way is nowadays admitted to. We need to create an environment in which men can be masculine, women feminine and non-binary humans can be free to express themselves in the way they want. We need to assure access to treatment modalities without judgement. In fact, if I was in power, I would mandate that every teenager would have to go into rehab for 28 days. There is so much we don't teach our children - it is time to change that, both on a family level as well as through schools and later on in life!
Thank you again for having me on, my man! I had a great time and I hope your viewers enjoy it.
It was an honor to have the Hebrew Hammer on my show. And I loved your last webinar. Keep doing that great work!
