Welcome everyone, of course we talk about health and wellness a lot on my show, something we may have taken for granted for a while and there is so much we try to learn about hormones, nutrition, sleep etc so what appealed to me when todays guest Sharon Lemoine reached out was finding the inner fuel to actually put the right stuff into practice.
And I for one am very curious to find out what Faith based medicine actually is!!

Today’s conversation is one that I think every grandparent, every parent, and every person who cares about the next generation needs to hear.

We live in a world drowning in information and starving for wisdom. The most powerful thing a young person can have I believe is not a smartphone, not a tablet, and not a Wi-Fi connection. It is a trusted adult who tells them the truth, teaches them to think, and passes on the values that no screen ever could.

As she said, we are currently in a global mental health tsunami. Many people are struggling and living in a perpetual state of stress. Our body cannot digest or heal when constantly in sympathetic mode. We also have a loneliness epidemic. We are social creatures, isolation is detrimental to our health. Laughter is the fastest happiness hack and too important to leave to chance.

Today we explore how hardship changes us and why we can’t return to who we were before. How she survived a full-blown psychosis in her 40s, living with a congenital blood disease and repeated near-death pulmonary embolisms, and how a January hospitalization and turning 50 led her to cancel big birthday plans, retreat alone to the mountains, grieve, and confront mortality. We discuss stopping instead of pushing through, building healthy relationships, normalizing trauma, using reflection, divided attention and grounding in breath/heartbeat, reframing negative self-talk with statements of fact, and focusing on small daily wins.
