Losing 30lbs started to happen once I stopped worrying about the diet plan, and started to look at how I can lower my stress levels deal with anxiety and destroy worry.  This was when I started to become much more balanced and feeling extremely healthy.  

This episode is part one of the series to show how I have continued to journey to a healthier version of myself.

A morning routine is kindly opening the day to increase your productive energy gradually which helps you feel rooted in who you truly are. Decide on your real life ideal morning, pick one thing from your list, and pick one small step that is too small to ignore and start doing it. 

I know that everyday I have one thing I can count on. Though the day may be unpredictable, there are a few minutes I can look forward to that are fixed. It may not be long, but it’s mine. 

It gives me something that is actually fixed, it never changes in the pace of a world that is so fast moving and unpredictable.

It helps me to find myself so that I am not constantly looking for myself the rest of the day.

On Episode 12 Michael talks about how we can continue to navigate through these next 30 days of Covid-19, and the true power of naming what you are feeling. If you don’t start to name the emotions and feelings you are experiencing, those feelings will eat you alive.

He looks at how the simple act of naming what we are feeling can start to allow the anxiety of these days to decrease and feelings of freedom to increase.

2. Some People dance in the rain and some people get wet - Bob Marley

In this episode we talk about how some people are just irresponsible when it comes to dealing with the coronavirus and how we can all get better in our response. 

We spend most of the time on describing anxiety and what it is as well as multiple grounding techniques that can assist anyone that is feeling anxious or panicked.

Shared an amazing song that is so timely for what is happening in our world right now by Cody Carnes titled Let The Light In

Also had many Grounding Techniques to help those who may be feeling anxious or panicked.

Unlike most forms of “talk therapy”, which is almost impossible for those with trauma to engage in. Since talking about it brings up very strong emotions that rise up from the original trauma or painful experience. 
EMDR has been one of the most helpful modalities of therapy for me as well as many others around the world.  Please listen to learn more about this fascinating therapy technique.

The movie Bombshell shows a very real situation that many people are struggling with, being hurt and feeling trapped to actually do something about it.  
This is called a Trauma Bond or Stockholm Syndrome which is a condition that happens when the victim develops a psychological alliance with their abusers during captivity or abuse.  Emotional bonds may be formed, between captor and captives, during intimate time together and abuse.  These are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims. 

Many people are in the middle of this right now, and it is my hope that this episode will be an aid on your path to freedom.

Social isolation is killing us, and why social media isn't to blame.
Our prison system makes solitary confinement an extreme punishment, and yet many voluntarily enter into it on their own.  We were made for community - Not for isolation.

In Episode 7 we look at Social Isolation and how to fight it, instead of letting it control who we are meant to be, in community.

"There is a difference between solitude and isolation. One is connected and one isn't. Solitude replenishes, isolation diminishes." ~ Henry Cloud

Trauma isn’t what happened to you, it is what is happening inside of you. Avoidance is one of the key ways that people try to cope with trauma mostly because they are working so hard to stay away from triggers that may cause the person to go right back to a spot of a traumatic event in their mind.  In this episode we look at what trauma is and different ways it can effect you as well as ultimately how to dig deep and work it out.
