    In this episode, Roxanne engages with Kristen MacDermott, a resilience researcher and family therapist. They delve into Kristen's unique approach to resilience training, its role in relationships, and her journey in the field. They discuss strategies for effective parenting, the challenges of homeschooling during lockdown, and the importance of self-care for caregivers. The impact of productivity on mental health is also touched upon.

    We are looking at 2020 in our rear-view mirror, but we’re still in the thick of COVID. With lockdowns, social distancing, virtual work and online schooling, some of us are experiencing higher levels of stress and finding both parenting and leadership challenging. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Marriage and Family Therapist, Kristin MacDermott to share some of her ideas about how resilience can help to improve relationships with your kids, spouse, family and team members.

    Quote: “The root of most interpersonal conflict is unmet needs.” Kristin MacDermott

    Kristin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with a decade of research in resilience. Her resilience-training programs have been validated in four studies with researchers from the Duke Clinical Research Institute, published in peer-reviewed journals, and proven to improve key mental health and resilience outcomes, including anxiety, depression, distress, self-efficacy, and PTSD. Kristin has designed resilience-training programs for some of the highest-performing people on the planet, including Navy SEALS and the LAPD. Her programs have been used in more than 20 hospitals across the country, including at the Duke Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health. She has also designed programs for school, corporations, and non-profits that support at-risk kids.

  • Healing the Mother Wound with Rev. Chelle
    In this episode, Roxanne and Rev. Chelle delve into generational trauma, exploring it through family mapping and constellations. They discuss triggers, their connection to trauma, and how hypnosis can reshape subconscious narratives. The concept of reparenting, healing the inner child, and overcoming pandemic challenges are also covered. They delve into epigenetics, stress management, and the power of authenticity.

    Our first love relationship is with our biological mom. It’s our earliest understanding of connection, trust, and commitment. The first time we will feel supported or abandoned. It’s how we learn to bond with others. It’s how we learn about boundaries or the lack of them. When this relationship is imbalanced, it creates a Mother Wound that, when left unhealed, can profoundly and subconsciously affect your relationships, friendships, career, finances, fertility, parenting, and health. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne we welcome Rev. Chelle who joins us to discuss how we can move through past trauma and administer self-care through uncertain times.

    Rev. Chelle is a Metaphysical Minister, Family Constellation Facilitator & Clinical Hypnotist. She guides women as they connect the dots from their mother wound to issues in their relationships, career, finances, fertility, health and parenting. She does this with a paradigm shifting, evidence based, trauma informed healing experience that breaks generational and subconscious cycles of pain between daughters and their mothers.

    Authentic Touch Points:

    Explaining the Mother Wound 3:00

    Finding the familial link 6:00
    Connecting the trigger(s) 9:30
    Hypnosis & how it can help disconnect the trigger 12:30 Fear and uncertainty 20:00
    How to regulate our response 25:00
    What you can do to help yourself
    29:45 Most of these lessons are unconscious; beginning in the womb, the lessons lay in our body on a cellular level. Later in life, they show up as the framework for our relationships, friendships, career, fertility, parenting, and our understanding of money and abundance. Rev. Chelle helps guide you through ending the cycle of your Mother Wound.

    Cristabelle has continually persevered through the daily challenges that come with living with a brain injury, and through her setbacks, re-injuries, and struggles, discovered a stronger and clearer voice and message. She is a sought-after speaker, both in Christian ministry and brain injury events. In 2020 she launched a podcast called Declaration Life, which coincides with her new album Declaration. Her journey has inspired her to become a passionate advocate for brain injury, lobbying on a statewide and national level with the Brain Injury Association of America, as well as personally working hard to provide support and encouragement to brain injury survivors and their families through her online community Hope After Head Injury.

    With many of us working from home and feeling the pressure of the pandemic, I encourage you to reach out with thoughts or questions about creating a healthier mindset.

  • Leading as a Millennial During Uncertain Times with Jenna Shellman

    Being an effective leader at any time is no easy task.  The uncertainty of job loss, leading virtually and the economic realities of the global pandemic are making it so much more difficult.  On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Leadership Expert, Jenna Shellman to discuss her experience as a millennial, leading others and dealing with the fallout of the pandemic.

    Jenna is passionate about millennials and believes that her generation received the short end of the stick when it comes to managing student loan debt, building financial stability, and having the confidence to travel down the road less travelled. The challenges that millennials face have been systematically brought on by the financial crisis in 2008, inflated college tuitions, and the constant need to feel validation. Boomer parents raised them hoping that there would be more relative economic and financial stability so their generation could prosper more than they did. However, this is not necessarily the case for many millennials.

    Authentic Touch Points:

    • Collectively fighting the pandemic.2:15
    • The comparison between Boomers and Millennials.7:45
    • Millennials must become adaptive.12:30
    • Finding your “why”.19:00
    • Millennials have never been “offline”.30:15
    • Finding purpose as a millennial.35:00
    • Embracing uncertainty and being resilient.43:30

    Jenna created a podcast- Leading With Your Gut, a show that featured other individuals who embraced fear and had the confidence to listen to their inner voices. The podcast inspired her to start her own business: Leading With Your Gut Coaching & Consulting: Smart coaching for Millennials who want to boost their confidence, pivot from burnout, and live a purpose driven life. 

    With many of us working from home and feeling the pressure of the pandemic, I encourage you to reach out with thoughts or questions about creating a healthier mindset.  Click here to contact me at your convenience or click here to book a complementary call with me.
