60. Overcoming Grief and Moving Beyond Infertility with Dr. Natascha Hebell Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

Today on the show, we are joined by Dr. Natascha Hebell. She completed her Integrative Medicine Doctor (BOIM) and Doctor of Humanitarian Services from the World Organization of Natural Medicine. She is also a licensed acupuncturist and holistic health practitioner in the state of Arizona.

Dr. Hebell will be talking to us about her work as an Acupuncturist and how her work transformed after her experience with infertility, that grieving period, and how she came out on the other side. Natascha's story is so powerful and inspiring. She is incredibly empathetic and sensitive in the way that she describes her own experience, as well as the work she does with women going through similar experiences.

This is a different kind of topic for this show, but so necessary. I sincerely hope, as I do with all episodes, that you find the support you need if you are currently struggling.

Hi everyone,

Today on the show we are once again joined by Gunjani Patel for Part 2 of our important discussion around mental health awareness. It was such a pleasure to chat with her about raising awareness around mental health, normalising mental health, and ending the stigma associated with it. We also talk about how to properly educate ourselves and stay informed both in general and around trauma.

Gunjani is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Life Coach, Speaker, and a writer. She runs a private practice called GPatelCounseling in San Diego California and Florida, and specialises in Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. She is also a new mom to a 22 month old hyper-energetic but a very lovely boy and is in the process of relaunching herself after being on a hiatus for the last few years. Her newfound vision in life is to spread mental health awareness and normalize it, break the stigma associated with help-seeking and make an impact on other women going through life changes or a life phase through her story while growing through this rebirthing process of being a newly born mom herself. She will be launching her podcast in November called Traumatic Transformations with Gunjani Patel which will be dedicated to people going through challenging times or phase of life and are looking to find more peace and purpose through those times. In each episode, she plans to share bite-sized actionable tips, tools, and strategies to aid their healing journey and learn from conversations with experts and insightful people in the world about their journey and transformations.

56. Mental + Emotional Immune System SOLO EPISODE Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

Hello everyone!

Today on the show, it's just me! I will be talking about why we do what we do as humans on a healing mindful journey.

Why do we want to heal? Why do you want to create fulfilling lives? Why do we like to to adopt healthy habits?

I'll talk you through the comparison I make between how we tend to our physical health when we are ill, but we don't necessarily tend to ourselves the same way when we are going through emotional or mental distress. I'll also link how we take vaccines to develop anti-bodies but can develop certain mental habits to make certain challenges in our lives less overwhelming and damaging to our health.

Lastly, I'll talk about how we should normalise mental health and not abuse or mistreatment. Particularly in daily dynamics, as we unpack where we came from. It's important to go back and go deep inside ourselves to heal and move forward. Sometimes, along the way, we no longer fit certain roles in our family narrative or in other relationships. However, we can choose to develop healthier and stronger relationships when we do the work. Friends can become family and family can become friends, and isn't that amazing? :)

Happy listening!

53. Distress Tolerance and Our 3 States with Charlene Gethons Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode I am joined by the brilliant and hilarious Charlene Gethons. Charlene is a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher & mindfulness coach, a motivational speaker and a therapist.

In 2013, she was involved in a motor vehicle accident which turned her life upside down and prompted her to reexamine her future. The injuries that she sustained required several surgeries, on top of which she had to deal with complications and infections. The uncertainty of her future is what started her on her mindfulness journey. Learning mindfulness helped her to manage her feelings of anxiety, to learn how to be more present and to be able to sit with the uncertainty that arises in life. Now she is a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher after receiving training at the University of Massachusetts Centre for Mindfulness.

Charlene is going to take us through different ways to mindfully manage conflict, use distress tolerance techniques, and understand our 3 states of being. All of this so that we can understand what our triggers may be, what our work is to do, and how to cultivate healthier and happier relationships in our lives.

There is so much good advice that Charlene shares in this episode about how to truly be mindful about your behaviours with yourself and others.
