  • 33 - The Tattooed Buddha Meets with Claire Parsons: Writer, Lawyer, Blogger and Mom

     
    Claire Parsons started writing for us here at The Tattooed Buddha with a column titled: The Bodhisattva of Power Suits, but she is not new to writing. She started her own blog called Brilliant Legal Mind and has also written two books: How to Be a Badass Lawyer, and Mommy Needs a Minute.
    Claire E. Parsons is a practicing lawyer in the Cincinnati, Ohio area, and the mom of two girls. She started meditating to manage stress and curb overthinking, but the practice changed her life. Over time, she got training and began teaching other lawyers and professionals about mindfulness. Claire is also a frequent writer and speaker for these and other organizations. She has published and spoken about numerous topics, ranging from complex legal issues, to law practice, networking and marketing, as well as mindfulness and wellness for lawyers and other professionals. She writes regularly on LinkedIn and even co-authored a book this year with 19 other women lawyers about how they used the platform to network and pursue career goals during the pandemic.
    We talk about meditation, her job as a special education lawyer, her thoughts on Buddhism and how she got here to this point, and how to find time to write when she has a full schedule with career and parenting.

  • 32 - Talking with Guest Rod Meade Sperry, Editor of Buddhadharma at Lion’s Roar


    Rod and I have been friends on social media for awhile now but we have never interacted (as what happens often with social media and networking).
    In this podcast, we talk about how Rod found the Dharma, his journey to writing and eventually working as director of marketing and publicity for both Wisdom Publications and then later editing Lion’s Roar. Rod started his own independent magazine (zine) originally to highlight how Buddhism shows up in different areas of our culture.
    We also discuss about Canadian winters, mindfulness and anxiety, how digital publishing is changing the way we get our information and more!
    See Rod Meade Sperry’s articles here at Lion’s Roar.
    Check out Rod’s books here on Amazon.
    Here is the book Rod brought up in our discussion: Relax & Be Aware: Mindfulness Meditations for Clarity, Confidence and Wisdomby Sayadaw U Tejaniya

  • 31 - Gary Sanders Ordains as a Temporary Monk

    A few weeks ago Gary Sanders went on retreat and took temporary vows to be a monk.
    Gary walks us through some of the aspects of this process, such as wearing robes all of the time (including while he slept), eating only two meals a day and shaving his cherished beard. He explains why he chose to temporarily ordain, his experiences with retreats in the past and the fact that he likes to push himself. We discuss the concept of how retreats can be for the privileged, and opportunities that are available to open up these up to more people.
    This was a fun conversation that could have easily gone on for much longer!

  • 30 - Escaping from Jehovah's Witnesses through a Buddhist Path


    Today we talk to Gary Sanders, Rebekah Reineke and David Jones about their experiences in the Jehovah’s Witness community.
    While Gary and Rebekah grew up within the religion, David entered (and bowed out) later on in life. We discuss the framework behind the cult, the control tactics and how they have moved on a healed. We discuss the trauma as a result, the aspects of shunning as control and being disfellowshipped, the use of fear to control, and how Buddhism and mindfulness became a path toward healing.
