The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast
Maureen Kafkis is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, the Brain BS™ coach, and the host of The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast. When she learned that the average human brain has over 60,000 thoughts a day and that most of them are lies (Brain BS™) that cause needless suffering, she started to learn how to separate the fact from fiction in her mind and has never looked back. Maureen truly believes that living consciously, understanding how your brains work, and learning to feel your feelings are necessary for an empowering and fulfilling life. She brings her expertise and extensive knowledge to inspire people in the SB area and beyond to learn how to live consciously, tap into their personal power and become leaders in their community.
In a world where there is so much division and way too much focus on competition, the Brain BS™ Coach is promoting a conscious community and lifestyle built on leadership energy, collaboration, and mutual support. She is doing that because the power of the collective far exceeds anything that can be done at the individual level and it’s just way more fun! If we all consciously collaborate with one another and succeed together we can have a substantial ripple effect that will extend far beyond our local community. Listen and learn how you can add value to your own community!

242) Sometimes Suffering is Optional
There are times in life where we are thrown a curveball that takes us off track that challenges are mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This is all part of the human experience and definitely going to cause us some degree of suffering. How we deal with those distractions is where optional suffering comes into play.
Optional suffering is when we resist what is happening to us, we start making up all kinds of stories in our head, and we actually believe our lies (Brain BS ™ )which compounds the suffering dramatically. It can look like beating the crap out of ourselves, others, or just giving into despair in general. It can also be very sneaky and hard to identify at first. We all do it whether we recognize or not is another story. It makes everything worse~
In this episode I share how I got completely hijacked by my Brain BS™ for a few months and how I found my way back to my higher self who loves life again and is eager to support other humans. If you are caught up in your head with beliefs that are not supportive and that bring you down, this episode is just what you need to get out of feeling like a victim of life and back into leadership energy.
