In this episode, I share my deeply personal and distressing experience attending my graduate program orientation.

Despite being a program focused on trauma, the orientation process was anything but trauma-informed.

Join me as I discuss the challenges I faced as a disabled (wheelchair-using) trauma survivor, how the experience re-traumatized me, and the urgent need for trauma-informed practices in higher education.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in academia, mental health, or disability advocacy.

You can also read my blog about this experience.

We can probably agree that The Matrix is a great movie with spectacular visual effects and an incredibly entertaining storyline.  Most people don't realize that it's jam packed with profound spiritual symbolism.

We’ll talk about Buddhist philosophies that are seen in the movie and how it actually applies to our own real world. I’ll share some really key life lessons that are beautifully illustrated in the movie and we’ll discuss how they apply to your life.

Our world seems to discourage us from taking care of ourselves, don't you think?  The result? Feeling frustrated, irritated, short-tempered, angry... does this sound familiar to you?

Today, we're discussing what self-care really is and dispelling self-care myths.
