03: The Travesty of Convenience with Patricia Ladis

The Global Affair with Nicole Gibson

Have we lost our fundamental connection to nature? Today on The Global Affair, Patricia Ladis joins us to discuss the travesty of modern convenience and how it affects every aspect of our physical and mental health. Patricia is a renowned physical therapist, working with athletes and specializing in reconditioning women for sports after pregnancy. In this episode, she speaks to the cultural loss we have suffered as we accept an increasingly toxic and seemingly comfortable lifestyle.

Modern life prioritizes convenience, but each shortcut comes at a high price. Our food is less nutritious, our connections are weak, and we have collectively lost our intuition. Patricia believes that the solution is movement. Your body is designed to move, but if you remain sedentary, your neurons will literally check out. Movement awakens the soul, activates positive neural feedback, and gives us a sense of freedom.

We do not have to continue down this path; this conversation will enlighten you, challenge you and hopefully inspire you to take your time and do things the right way. Convenience should enhance life, but we have become slaves to it. Patricia's vision of the future is simple, a life full of love, movement, and connection. Join us and discover how you can reclaim the traditional wisdom of our ancestors and begin living in alignment with your natural intuition.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

“When we can move and almost dance and play, all of a sudden ideas start coming to us! All of a sudden we feel freedom in our body, freedom to be who we are, and each and every one of us has those gifts, so how are you gonna tap into those gifts, so you can solve the world's problems.” [4:40] -Patricia Ladis

“It shouldn’t be a privilege to have what the earth is supposed to give us in its organic truest form, and that’s I think the travesty of today.” [34:08] -Patricia Ladis

“Connect with your child. Don’t put your phone in between that moment, because you want to get an Instagram picture. This is a terrible situation. That is nobody’s business. You need to be 100% connected to that baby as they come out, because they need you, and you need them!” [40:05] -Patricia Ladis
