Bunny Hugs and Mental Health

The term serial killer exists because of Ted Bundy. This episodes guest is Edna Cowell Martin, Bundy’s cousin and childhood friend. Edna shares her unique perspective on Ted Bundy, highlighting his family dynamics, early influences and family background. Perhaps more importantly, we discuss the complex trauma a family shares from loving and growing up with a secret monster. What dots did she connect after finding out the truth? How does a family move on? And could she have stopped him?

Birth isn’t just a moment; it’s a profound experience that leaves lasting impressions on our brains and behaviours. From feelings of safety to how we handle stress, our early experiences can influence everything. Research suggests that the way we enter the world can affect our feelings of trust and our view of the world as a safe place. This weeks episode I speak with Annie Brook,  Ph.D, LPC, MSME (ISMETA), Body-Mind Centering teacher, and a therapist in high regard in the Somatic community. Annie's speciality is helping adults and children get to the roots of difficult behaviours by helping them to go back to the first impressions of life; unwinding the impacts of birth and post birth on their nervous system.

In this episode, we take a wild ride of a near-death experience (NDE), shadow work, and holistic healing  and hopefully, your heart lighter. Thayne Martin shares how a near-death experience in a pool led to a radical life change and a new philosophy based on the "equation of life" and abundant happiness. Thayne turned trauma of horrific childhood abuse and living with DID,  into transformation with the power of love, gratitude, and a little bit of math. His program called It's Pure Love is a pay what you can and his passion is priceless.
