Is EMDR Right for Me? May 19, 2022

Show notes

If you heard last week's episode, you know it's possible to heal our brains in a variety of different ways. One of those ways is through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a powerful tool to help patients move forward, or as Dr Lili Wagner so perfectly stated "move past our past."
In this episode, we dive deeper into EMDR, discuss the benefits, who it may be good for, and who it might not find it a great fit.
About: Dr. Lili Wagner is a Licensed Psychologist in California with over 20 years of experience. She works with adults and the elderly, specializing in trauma as well as the psychological ramifications of having a chronic illness or autoimmune disease. She is certified in EMDR, CBT, and has several health coaching certifications. Due to her own chronic health issues, Dr. Wagner uses a holistic mind, body, and soul approach to therapy. During her spare time, she loves to cuddle with her dog, enjoys movies, music, dancing, and spending time with her family.

A Millennial's Take on Mental Health May 06, 2022

Show notes

For many of us over 40, we didn’t grow up making mental health a priority, am I right?

But those days are over.

No one should have to white knuckle their way through life. We all deserve to feel healthy and free of the stigma and shame we used to feel when turning to mental health resources.

May is Mental Health Awareness month and The Grown-Ass Woman’s Guide is committed to sharing resources, tips and tools to help us all live with joy and peace.

If you haven't heard of Anna Przybylski, oh you will! Anna is the brave and totally hilarious millennial taking TikTok and Instagram by storm with her fresh, honest approach to mental health. Anna's not-so-serious tone and approach allows us all to laugh a little at the pressures we all feel.

In this episode, Anna and I talk mental health and wellness, the difference in perspective we see when it comes to Gen X and millennials, and how we can begin to shed ourselves of judgement, expectations and start to heal from some of the programming we've experienced in our lives.

On today's episode, executive coach, communications leader and podcaster, Lara Dalch, shares tools for discovering what we really want by listening more than pushing.
