Show notes

Check out the answers to these important questions I received following my interview with Dr. Mike Dow where we discussed Brain Fog: The Cause Of Your Anger, Depression, And Anxiety.

I’m 53 and feel like by now I’ve probably done a lot of damage to my brain, by not eating right or doing the activities Dr. Dow talked about. If I correct my behavior, can I actually reverse some of the damage I’ve done?
I’m feeling a little overwhelmed by all the recommendations of supplements, vitamins, and some medicine terms I’m honestly not too familiar with in this episode. I’m not sure where to start? What is the most important thing I can do to help with my feelings of brain fog?

Will clearing my brain fog help me to discover what I'm really hungry for?

Check out the answers to these important questions I received following my interview with Rose Cole where we discussed Self-Approval: How To Love Yourself When You Don't.

Rose makes it sound so easy to be happy and love yourself, like it’s just a choice I need to make, but sometimes it doesn’t feel like my choice, it feels impossible to get out of my whirlwind of negative feelings that take over my head. I’m not sure how to snap out of it - any tips for when things feel really bad?

I’ve been trying little things like eating healthier, getting more sleep, doing some meditation in the mornings, for months now and it doesn’t really feel like I’m seeing any results… am I missing something?

WYRHF Episode 025 - Q&A for Comeback: How An Overweight Doctor Restored her Health And You Can Too With Dr. Kyrin Dunston Jun 24, 2016

Show notes

Check out the answers to these important questions I received following my interview with Dr. Kyrin Dunston where we discussed Comeback: How An Overweight Doctor Restored Her Health And You Can Too.

Dr. Kyrin shares how an accident pulled her out of her insanely busy life -- how can you change your life and slow down without dropping the ball and making sure you take care of your commitments?
Dr. Kyrin talks about the a-ha moments... How do I recognize when I'm having an a-ha moment? What should I listen to, and what should I ignore?
What if I don’t trust the “universe” to tell me “the way”? I feel like if I don’t direct and control my life, the things I want won’t happen.
Dr. Kyrin said that for many women, fat is a form of protection. I really want to explore this because I’ve recently gained ten pounds and I can’t seem to lose it despite all my efforts. How can I figure out what my body is trying to protect me from so I can get down to the root of the issue?
I love Dr. Kyrin’s advice about acting and feeling as if I’m already at my goal so that I’m motivated by positive thoughts rather than held back by negativity. But with something like losing weight, I feel like it’s hard to pretend I’m already thinner when I can visibly see that I’m not and physically can’t fit into my pants. Any tips to overcome that?

WYRHF Episode 023 - Q&A for Wholeness: How To Be The Love You're Looking For In The World With JJ Flizanes Jun 16, 2016

Show notes

Check out the answers to these important questions I received following my interview with JJ Flizanes where we discussed Wholeness: How To Be The Love You're Looking For In The World.

Are there times when, instead of just loving myself, it would actually be better for me in the long run to be harder on myself?
A long time ago, I did something regretful to deeply hurt someone I love. That person still refuses to forgive me, and therefore I cannot forgive myself. How do I love myself again?
Cynthia, what do you think about the saying, "That's just life"?
The saying “You’re the creator of your own reality” makes total sense, but as much as I try to live with purpose, self-love and kindness, the reality I experience is not the reality I want because of hurdles and adversities that are beyond my control. What are some mental shifts or exercises I can start working on to truly trust the process of life?
