No Calls Please Seven Years of Recovery A Look Back May 16, 2009

Show notes

June will mark seven years since I started my road to recovery. I imagine that many you feel as I did. Once I took the meds, all my panic days would soon end. Not true. The hard work came when I had to uncover the layers of what brought me to anxiety in the first place. I've asked Joy to help me tell my story so the listeners can hear from her lips about my ups and downs, my highs and lows and my commitment to doing what it takes to continue to grow as a person, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Joy Carroll is a Healing Intuitive located in Old Town Pasadena, California. For those of you who don't live in the area, Joy does phone work as she does not need to be physically present with her client to offer her wonderful and varied services. Joy uses a variety of modalities to help people. Please visit her website for more information.

April 4, 2009 Women of Color and Mental Health Issues SHOW REPLAYS APR. 11 NO CALLS PLEASE Apr 04, 2009

Show notes

Dr. Gina L. Moore-Sanders has a Ph.D. in molecular genetics from the University of California, at San Diego and a M.S. from San Diego State University. Her graduate and post-doctoral studies have focused on cardiovascular research where she has several publications. In 2008, she was horrified to see many other women like herself suffering from mental anguish posting their mental angst online only to be ridiculed and humiliated! In fact, while she searched for safe zones expressing her own issue where she encountered racism among the posters! She chose to not engage in justifying her cultural identity online! Rather than lament about when a website would be available for women like her, Dr. Moore-Sanders concluded that it would be best to found Ariafya LLC for women of color who suffer dearly by extending a "life line" and a "place of refuge" for mental relief. From her deacon board training at Christ United Presbyterian Church in San Diego, California and Madrona Presbyterian Church in Seattle, Washington, she was taught how to be of "empathy and devoid of judgment" in order to help others in pain.
