Ep 38 - Educating Young People About Mental Illness with Tammy Ozolins Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

After years of struggling with depression and manic episodes, Tammy Ozolins finally received the diagnosis of Bipolar Two with Rapid Cycling. As an educator, she has made the brave decision to talk publicly about her mental health journey in order to end the stigma and educate young people on the realities of mental health.

It was an honor to connect with Tammy (also known as “Ms. Oz”) and learn not only about her own battle with mental health, but also hear her perspective as a teacher on how we can better inform young people about their own mental health and equip them with the necessary tools to overcome their own struggles.

In today’s episode, Tammy shares with us about why she does not shy away from the topic of mental health, and how her own story of hospitalization and even a suicide attempt has made her even more passionate about helping others who may feel alone in their struggles.

She shares with us why having a diagnosis was a “relief”, how she has coped with depression and navigated manic episodes in the workplace, and why she believes that educating others and communicating with them is so important. This is a powerful episode for not only those who struggle with mental health but also for those who are supporting a loved one.

Ep 37 - Jump Start Your Year with Gratitude (Attitude with Gratitude) Oct 03, 2019

Show notes

This week is a special week in the Jewish community. We are celebrating our New Year and for me that means a time of intentional reflection. I like to take a moment this time of year to reflect on all the things I have to be grateful for. We continually discuss on the show why it is important to practice gratitude daily, however there is something extra special on reflecting back on a FULL year of moments.

In today's episode, I share with you a few of my rituals around this practice including ways that you can use journals and pictures to help foster gratitude and remind you of moments you may have otherwise forgotten.

Why is any of this important? I don't know about you, but life is SO busy and it is easy to move through it so fast without taking a moment to reflect. The beautiful thing about gratitude is that it allows positive energy into your life which attracts MORE and more things to be grateful for.

Will you join us in being a vessel for gratitude? In being a catalyst for positivity? Even through the difficult moments you experienced this year reflection gives you an opportunity to see how much you have grown and how strong you were in the process.

What is something you are proud of in regards to yourself and your personal growth this year? We would love to hear about the things YOU are grateful for. Find us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge. Because as always- together is better!

Ep 36 - Relationship Magic: The Art of Creating a Magical Relationship with Guy Finley Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

I recently read a book, Relationship Magic, which was monumental in how I now view my personal relationships. It was an honor to be able to connect with the author of that book, Guy Finley on today’s episode of Hope to Recharge.

Guy is the founder and director of Life of Learning, a non-profit organization for spiritual leaders as well as an author of over forty-five books which have sold over 2-million copies worldwide. In our conversation, we talk about his work around relationships and what we can learn about ourselves through others.

We discuss why Guy believes we are not “broken” but often “disconnected” from our true self, how growing up among famous families gave him a unique perspective about what happiness truly is, and why we should seek a relationship with LOVE and not look to the world for validation.

If you are curious about how we can cope with depression by having a better understanding of consciousness, how we can better observe our feelings and thoughts, and what role ego plays in our relationships, you do not want to miss this episode!

Thoughts? Questions? Connect with us in our private Facebook Group- Hope to Recharge- because as always, Together is better!

Topics Discussed:

What judgment reveals about us.
What we can do when someone “sets us off” or triggers us.
The purpose of love and relationships.

Ep 35 - The Secret of AOG (Attitude with Gratitude) Sep 26, 2019

Show notes

Today I wanted to discuss the term “Attitude of Gratitude”. What does that really mean? I am sure that you have heard it being said and it’s tempting to think that it is just a cute little saying.

I believe that an attitude of gratitude is something that we have to develop. Most of us are not born with it. I have personally learned a lot about gratitude by watching my husband and how he has enhanced and invited little moments of gratitude into his life. He has always decided to make small moments, incredible. As a result, he literally creates special experiences.

The term “attitude” usually has a negative connotation, however, we can choose the attitude that we have. By cultivating an attitude of gratitude, we will see moments through a positive perspective, inviting in every moment, for what it really is. As a result, no matter what is happening, we can see something good.

We would love to hear about your thoughts about what an attitude of gratitude means to you. Connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better.

Ep 34 - Hug Therapy: A 21-Day Journey to Embracing Yourself, Your Life, and Everyone Around You with Dr. Stone Kraushaar Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

Can a hug make a difference in our mental health? What are “self-hugs”? What is it about physical touch that is so healing? Dr. Stone Kraushaar, also known as the “Hug Doctor” says that hugs can be a game-changer for our mental wellbeing and shares with us why we underestimate the power of a hug.

Dr. Kraushaar is a clinical psychologist who was originally practicing therapy at college campuses. A few years ago he felt a strong shift and began his own personal development journey. After experiencing the transformation of giving hugs to strangers he set out on a mission to study and teach the connection between us all through the power of hugging.

In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Hug shares with us why he recommends 21-second hugs, why we should be “radically transparent”, and why he believes that “all people share a profound human connection”. Even if you do not believe yourself to be “a hugger” this episode will help you to rethink what human connection looks like and give you ideas on the variety of ways that you can both give and receive hugs.

Ep 33 - Gratitude on a New Voltage (Attitude with Gratitude) Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

What is ‘Post Pain Gratitude’? Are there benefits to gratitude beyond coping with the present moment and experiencing its’ immediate benefits? Last week I discovered something powerful about gratitude that I did not know before and I am excited to share it with you in this week’s segment of Attitude of Gratitude.

If you remember in last week’s episode (https://hopetorecharge.com/episode/practicing-gratitude-during-pain-attitude-of-gratitude/) we talked about a difficult time my family and I were walking through as my youngest was transitioning into school. We talked about the benefits of practicing gratitude during painful moments and how it can bring a new perspective to even the most difficult of times.

However, something happened afterward that I did not expect. After walking through the experience and when we could finally see light at the end of the tunnel, I notice that my gratitude was not only still there, but it had drastically INCREASED. It was like there was a new voltage to my present moment and I was hyper-aware of the goodness around me.

My positive energy came back, giving me the ability to truly see and gain clarity. It was through this that I realized the importance of working through pain WITH gratitude. It not only helps you through the darkness but it shines a light on your days to come making you hypersensitive to the GOOD.

We would LOVE to hear from you. Have you experienced post-pain gratitude? Find us on Facebook in our private Facebook Community, Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better.

Topics Discussed:

What are the post pain benefits of gratitude?
How being grateful through pain magnifies your gratitude practice.
Why we should listen to our children’s intuition.

Ep 32 - Prepping the Body and Mind for Crisis with Jen Esquer Sep 17, 2019

Show notes

This week I had the honor of connecting with mobility expert Dr. Jen Esquer about how we can use mobility and fitness to prevent and treat mental health issues. Dr. Jen shares with us about a recent trauma that she endured and how she walked through the pain, allowed space for healing, and ultimately found her truest self through the process.

In this episode, Dr. Jen walks us through her journey of being a young gymnast, to finding a love for mobility, and ultimately sharing her passion very publicly and building a following online. After enduring a betrayal in a relationship, Dr. Jen discovered a new part of the mind/body connection that she had not experienced before, realized the power of her own intuition, and the importance of trusting herself.

Today we talk about how to find your worth and value outside of external circumstances, why it is critical to find community that will hold space for you and not push you through the process of healing and the connection between physical fitness and mental health. Jen even shares with us a few breathing techniques that will help you through panic attacks and anxiety.

This is a powerful interview that I know you will learn so much from. If you have thoughts or questions or would simply like the support from our community please find us on Facebook, Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better.

Ep 31 - Practicing Gratitude During Pain (Attitude with Gratitude) Sep 12, 2019

Show notes

Today my energy is a little low but I wanted to share with you something that I am currently going through. As you know I love the topic of gratitude but I am still learning how to implement it into my life especially during painful times.

On this week’s attitude with gratitude, I wanted to share with you about a difficult time we have been having with my sweet little boy and his first few days of preschool. My dear friend Matthew reminded me to be grateful even during this difficult time.

How do we find gratitude when we are in pain? How can we use the tools of gratitude to overcome the trials we are facing? This week I was reminded that gratitude gives me the energy to focus and reminds me that nothing lasts forever. I hope this episode and my story encourages you to find the light and the good even in the darkest of times.

If you need any additional support we would LOVE to connect with you in our private Facebook Group Hope to Recharge. Because as always together is better.

Topics Discussed:

The importance of gratitude during painful moments.
How gratitude can calm you and will bring focus.
The importance of being aligned with others who share the same values.

Ep 30 - Energy Healing with Brian Weiss Sep 10, 2019

Show notes

This week, I sat down with another individual who has played a huge role in my life and in my journey towards overcoming the mental health struggles that I have dealt with. I have the extreme honor of introducing you to my intuitive coach and mentor Brian W

I met Brian five or six years ago when I was experiencing deep depression. Since then, he has guided me towards healing by helping me to uncover my own intuition and unlock my own ability to what he calls “healing myself.”

Brian’s holistic approach includes focusing on our biofeedback and connecting our symptoms to underlying emotions. In our conversation we talk about why he doesn’t believe we need “healers” and that we have the power within ourselves to guide our own healing journey. We also talk about how negative energy blocks us and how we can begin to release negative emotions that are the underlying cause of mental illness.

If you feel stuck and wonder what role our emotions play in our healing, you will love this conversation with Brian. We also include a short clip of an upcoming episode where Brian works with me through an exercise.

Ep 29 - Thank & Grow Rich (Attitude with Gratitude) Sep 05, 2019

Show notes

My friend Matthew recently suggested this incredible book to me by Pam Grout called Thank and Grow Rich. You may be familiar with the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill who talks about the power of our thoughts in fulfilling our dreams. This book presents the idea that GRATITUDE plays just as an important role in us seeing miracles and having success.

Pam says that gratitude and joy are both connected and when we experience one, we experience the other. In today’s Attitude of Gratitude, I share with you about her program called AA 2.0 which are two practices that she recommends using every day that will transform our lives and help us reap the full benefits of gratitude.

I invite you in this episode to start these powerful practices including finding a group that you can share your gratitude with. It will give you strength and help pick you up even during difficult times. If you need a community to support you in your mental health journey please connect with us in our private Facebook group, because as always together is better.
