Mental Health Awareness Month is an opportunity to do more than simply talk about mental health—it’s a chance to explore what truly supports our well-being.

While awareness has helped reduce stigma and encourage important conversations, many people still struggle to understand what mental health actually looks like in daily life. As a therapist, I've found that mental wellness isn't built on one habit, one mindset shift, or one self-care practice. It comes from caring for yourself as a whole person.

In this episode, I share the six pillars of mental health that I use with clients to create meaningful, sustainable change:

✨ Physical Health
✨ Emotional Health
✨ Mental Health
✨ Lifestyle
✨ Mindfulness
✨ Self-Love

We'll discuss why mental health is about much more than positive thinking and how small, intentional actions can create lasting shifts in your well-being.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• Why Mental Health Awareness Month matters
• How stigma impacts mental health treatment and support
• Why a holistic approach to mental wellness is essential
• The connection between your body, thoughts, emotions, and daily habits
• How to identify which pillar of mental health may need more attention
• Simple practices you can begin using today

With over 30 years of experience, Jenell shares her unique perspective on how facials are more than skin deep, they're opportunities for rest, healing, and reconnection with ourselves. 

Jenell talks about fueling our femininity. She says we need to get “a little full of ourselves, in order to live a full life.” 

In this episode of Feed Your Soul with Kim, we explore all things that have to do with Feminine Fuel and why leading with beauty and embracing softness is power not weakness.

As we move into a new year, it’s never too late to pause, reflect, and intentionally choose what comes next. 

In this episode of Feed Your Soul with Kim, I share the soulful New Year reflection practice I use every year to release what no longer serves me and invite in what I truly want. 

This gentle, grounded process helps you look back on the past year with compassion without shame or pressure and move forward with clarity, intention, and peace. 

You don’t have to have everything figured out. This is a living reflection you can return to throughout the year by crossing things out, adding new intentions, and allowing yourself to evolve. 

If you’re craving a slower, more intentional way to enter the new year — one rooted in self-trust, clarity, and inner peace — this episode is for you. 

 Join us on the Feed Your Soul with Kim Podcast as we explore: 

• Learn the 9 key areas to focus on as you reflect on the past and reimagine the future.
• Embrace a way to keep you focused this next year. 
• Be guided through meaningful questions to help you recognize what worked, what was challenging and the lessons you are ready to carry forward.

The time between Christmas and the New Year can feel strange, emotional, and disorienting. The busyness has ended, expectations have passed, and what’s left is a quiet space that many of us don’t know how to hold. 

In this end-of-year episode, we are discussing the liminal space: the time in-between. We are invited to slow down and tend to our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Rather than rushing into resolutions or productivity, this episode offers permission to pause, reflect, and listen inward. 

This is not the time for resolutions or plans. It is the time to be curious. 
 You are not behind in determining what the new year holds. You are right on schedule. 

Join us on the Feed Your Soul with Kim Podcast as we explore: 

• What is this liminal (in-between space) between Christmas and New Years about? And why do we need to pay attention. 
• See how this time can be a reflection in body, emotions, and spirit.
• Gentle reflection questions to help you in this liminal time 

This is a special episode that is so timely.

My guest on this episode is Erica Carrico, a Soul Business Success Coach whose powerful story of resilience, awakening, and realignment will leave you inspired. Fun fact, she is the first guest that I have had who I did not know in advance. 

Erica went from a thriving corporate career to facing a kidney cancer diagnosis (at 36 years old) while raising a 3-year-old, a baby under one, and navigating a marriage in crisis. In her words, she realized that the life she had built was “killing her.” What followed was a profound dark night of the soul that ultimately became the catalyst for her transformation. 

Erica describes her cancer as “a blessing, not a fluke.” When everything fell apart, she made the courageous decision to lean into her life, and everything changed. 

Her journey is one of alignment, awakening, and allowing. 

Join us on the Feed Your Soul with Kim Podcast as we explore: 

• Practical tools to shift your mindset
• How to take inspired and aligned action
• Three powerful questions to help you become Soul Aligned in your business or career
