#170: What To Do When Therapy Fails Jul 24, 2019

Show notes

'This has to work."

So many e-mails come through my inbox with pleas of help. Begging for answers in another system they're looking to sign up for. A part of me senses that they've already begun thinking "what if it doesn't work out? Playing the story out in their mind, attaching their last string to this one last thing.

Funny, therapy for me was no different. Maybe I didn't voice the words, but I think we've all voiced them, at least in our head in times of desperate measures. We are clinging to hope in others, in solutions from systems and our prayers in programs.

But have you ever stopped to think, what if therapy fails?

Or is the possibility too grim?

Today on the podcast, I interview a special guest, Lina Salazar. Lina shares her journey with failed therapy attempts, bad body image, disordered eating, and how she created sanity around food. She'll reveal how she learned to nourish her mind, body and soul.

#168: Are We Doing Health All Wrong? Jul 10, 2019

Show notes

The Merriam-Webster diction defines health in four ways:

"the condition of being sound in body, mind or spirit."

"freedom from physical disease or pain."

"the general conidtion of the body"

"a condition in which someone or something is thriving or doing well": wellbeing"

They're all similar and yet I question how different each one is as well. But isn't that just it with health - how differently we can define one word? Like the word color, where there could be a million different variations of different colors, and yet it's all summed up into color.

I think of health the same way - there are a lot of different variations to being healthy - but yet health is defined by you.

Now we could get all political or scientific and we have - but then again where has that gotten us? Instead, I question maybe we're all more right, more healthy, more on to it than we've ever believed we are. That instead of focusing so much on "fixing" what isn't necessarily broken we fill what is just empty?

Inside today's podcast, I give you an honest and vulnerable take on my health journey and what I believe to be a better definition of what health is and how you get there.
