Last week I lost "my voice"....today I share my awareness. My hope is that this message supports those who are still trying to find their voice and those seeking support in embracing the beauty in silence. 

Inner child healing, is a way to address our needs that haven't been met as children and heal the attachment wounds we've developed.  As adults, we walk around carrying wounds from our childhood that have never been addressed. Today's show covers Part  2-the activities we can engage in to support our inner children.

"When we heal the inner child, we heal generations. We heal the world." ~Dr. Trish Phillips

Inner child healing, is a way to address our needs that haven't been met as children and heal the attachment wounds we've developed.  As adults, we walk around carrying wounds from our childhood that have never been addressed. Today's show covers Part 1, a deeper dive on inner child healing and the signs to look for in determining if you have areas of healing that will support your inner child's desire for peace and love. 

"When we heal the inner child, we heal generations. We heal the world." ~Dr. Trish Phillips

Closure:  finality; a letting go of what once was. Finding closure implies a complete acceptance of what has happened and an honoring of the transition away from what's finished to something new. Today's episode focuses on the importance of healthy closure in relationships and other situations in our lives when we know it is time to move on.
 
"Closure happens right after you accept that letting go and moving on is more important than projecting a fantasy of how the relationship could have been."

Today I returned home to the devastating news of 2 children in our district whose lives tragically ended, allegedly by their mother. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of these children and we stand in mourning with our school district community and our community at large. There are no words to express how deeply the heartbreaking loss of these children has impacted many. Many questions have already come to the surface around mental health, support and so many other layers unfolding.

As we remember this month being Mental Heath Awareness Month, I am sharing a replay of a two part show focused on mental health awareness and #breakingthestigma. For both, I am joined a team of clinicians who are experts in this area. They offer tips, resources and support while sharing their experiences and how we can individually and collectively destigmatize mental health. May we take care of ourselves and look out for the well being of others who may need support. Maybe someone today nears to receive this. Be safe, be well!

As we reflect on a day dedicated to Moms and those women who have mothered us, we know how very layered the role of "mom" is and the abundance of rewards and challenges on the journey. Today we take a closer look at Mother's Day from my own perspective as a mother and daughter....

Motherhood is a choice you make every day, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own. To teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is......and to forgive yourself over and over again for doing everything wrong.
-Donna Bell
