47. Memoirist Mark Matousek Tells Us How to Identify & Write the Truth in Our Life Stories, Avoid False Narratives, & the Healing Power Writing Has Over Body/Mind Health Issues Host Enoe Aracely Brown

 An American memoirist and journalist, Mark Matousek will speak about his method called Writing to Awaken which he uses to teach his students how to use self-inquiry as a way to examine personal stories to write authentic, more powerful and truthful accounts of our life. For some it may be through memoir, for others poetry, or a novel. Whichever way writing down traumatic events, or psychiatric episodes, or any life experience starts the process of releasing their negative impact on our psyche, which can slowly be witnessed over the months by how a person's health improves by experiencing less anxiety and depression in their life. He will also speak about his latest book on the philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson called Lessons from an American Stoic: How Emerson Can Change Your Life, who can teach us about optimism, how to learn from hard times, and how to move forward from overwhelming events such as those experienced during Covid, over past few years.

Guest Bio:
Dr. Selassie was born in Baltimore, Maryland and spent much of her childhood nights itching and scratching away from severe eczema on her face, neck, insides of her elbows and behind her knees. Her father was a medical doctor who was able to prescribe numerous anti-itch, anti-fungal, antibiotic, and steroid creams. They would work but not for long. By the time she was twelve, she was diagnosed with steroid-induced asthma. Her father died when she was in her tweens, many attended the funeral and what struck her the most was what people remembered the most about him, they said it was his sense of humor, kindness, and caring that helped them heal the most. These conversations are what decided what her career path would be. She enrolled and earned a degree called Naturopathic Doctorate and graduated in 2005 from Bastyr University, the leading school in naturopathic medicine. There she learned about healing without the use of pharmaceuticals and it was here she learned to heal her eczema. A few years later she was able to teach a class on how to achieve beautiful skin, naturally. Today Dr. Selassie lives with her husband, their five daughters, and her mother-in-law in Brooklyn, NY. She and her husband collect archival materials pertaining to Ethiopian and Rastafari Art and Culture for the Haile(HI-LEE) Selassie I International University Museum & Research Library Center. Dr Selassie hosts a live weekly show on Invite Health Web Radio. She is also the author of Aging Brilliantly: How to Eat Move Rest & Socialize Your Way to a Long Life.
