Welcome to the 10th episode of this season of the Feeding Your Healthy Mind Podcast.

In this episode, I talk about self-regulation; how can we create ways which support ourselves when dealing with adversity or when we begin to feel overwhelmed.

And if we already have self-regulating practices that work for us what can counselling, therapy and holistic therapists do, do we really need them?

Welcome to the Eighth episode in this season of the Feeding Your Healthy Mind Podcast.

In this episode, I talk about the differences between Mindfulness and Meditation and whether it's important to make the distinction.

From exploring the personal benefits to looking at the cultural origins and the spiritual meaning of Meditation; seeing how our perspective and intention impact how these practices are used and shared with the Western world are definitely food for thought.

Welcome to the Seventh episode in this season of the Feeding Your Healthy Mind Podcast.

In this episode, we talk about adapting the ways in which adaptogens specifically mushrooms can support us.

Adapting is a quality we all have, being able to adjust to our environments is a way to create resilience. But how can we utilise natural medicine or herbs to support this when we have compromised systems or need some support?

This was a request from my last Instagram post and it was nice to be able to focus on something specific.

If there are any topic ideas you have for future episodes please share them!

Welcome to the Sixth episode in this season of the Feeding Your Healthy Mind Podcast.

In this episode we talk about a state of flow; the infinitive state of feeling aligned with what you are doing in a precise moment that brings you joy.

Flow state is something I think we feel when we are acting, doing or sharing from a place where we truly feel happiness and gratitude from. It is hard to describe but I try my best to share what I feel flow state means and why it can help us live more fulfilled lives!

If you have ever felt this flow state before, let me know what you think it is and it makes you feel!

If you enjoy this podcast share it with someone who you think it will resonate with.

Welcome to the 5th episode in this season of the Feeding Your Healthy Mind Podcast.

In this episode, I explore values, the ones we have and the ones we choose to have.

The values we hold aren't always the ones we have chosen and how they impact how we view our lives and circumstance or how we see others is really impactful.

Being honest about my values that came from a place of judgement rather than what makes me feel joy and how I navigate that has been a place of growth for me and I hope it inspires you to reflect on your values too.

If you enjoy this podcast share it with someone who you think it will resonate with!
