TAP 245 - Kelli Walker On Health Anxiety & Helping People Recover Aug 01, 2017

Show notes

Summary:

In this episode I talk to Kelli Walker about her own journey with anxiety and how it led her to now help others recover. Kelli is one of the only coaches I recommend as her approach really aligns with mine.

Kelli Walker, M.S.N., is a Registered Nurse, Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and former agoraphobe. For over 15 years she struggled with generalized anxiety, OCD, and panic attacks.

Kelli now works as a coach, helping people move past their own anxiety in the way she did: by understanding anxiety's true nature and the ways that we innocently get stuck in the cycle of anxiety, fear, and worry. This understanding allows us to start breaking that cycle.

Kelli is the host of the Not Another Anxiety Show podcast, an author, and has participated in several health and wellness conferences and summits.

Kelli enjoys Nutella, her dogs, world travel, sweat pants, hiking, kayaking and ultimate frisbee.

TAP 242 - Justine Johnston Hemmestad On Recovering From A Traumatic Brain Injury Jul 11, 2017

Show notes

Summary:

This week I chat with Justine regarding her amazing recover from a traumatic brain injury. She talks about how she really used writing as a way to rebuild her confidence.

Written by Justine:

In 1990 (I was 19 and living in San Diego with my husband of three months) my car was hit by a city bus as I was driving home from work – I sustained a severe brain injury, I was resuscitated, in a coma, paralyzed, and the doctors thought I wouldn't recover.

Within a few months I was walking again and my husband and I moved to Iowa where we started our family of 7 kids (doctors also told us we would never have kids after my crash). After we moved I began writing to cope with my severe PTSD, and I began my story about Alexander the Great a few years later.

In the mid 2000s I started college part-time – with my first course being world religions, which helped me understand Alexander's motivations and was also therapeutic for my mind (I've felt that learning has been calming).

I had become interested in Alexander's story in the mid '90s after watching a documentary about him because I identified so much with his persistence and perseverance. I kept researching until I was able to integrate his soul into the story I had been working on. I continued college, earned my BLS from The University of Iowa, and I'm now working on a Master's Degree in Literature through Northern Arizona University.

Justine's book on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Justine-Johnston-Hemmestad/e/B01DHSLN0M/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_3?qid=1499782524&sr=8-3

In this episode you will learn:

How Justine was involved in a car accident that put her in a coma
How she exercises for 2 hours a day as part of her recovery
How writing and journaling was something that really calmed her down
How writing and learning gave her the courage to persevere
How she's gone on to write and be part of 10 books
She's now studying for her masters
