I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Emiliya Zhivotovskaya about her journey of loss and how intuitive principles of resilience and positive psychology helped her heal and thrive through all her challenges by reframing and finding meaning from all her life experiences into thriving and post traumatic growth that drove her to study Positive Psychology and many other modalities and founding the Flourishing Center that has now trained over 1,600 coaches in over 53 countries and continue on a mission to spread the flourishing to as many individuals, organizations and schools as possible. We discussed in detail the principles of positive psychology, which include managing our mind, our emotions, our physical bodies and our social/spiritual needs as well as the importance of incorporating our bodies in the healing and thriving process. Healing and mindset are a crucial part of personal growth, but principles of Positive Psychology is what gets us to thrive and flow! It is when we incorporate it all, when we can take healing and thriving to the next level! You can find Emiliya at the www.theflourishingcenter.com and @theflourishingcenter on IG.

We continued our conversation from episode 91 on Mindfulness and discuss how she incorporates CBT, (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), that is also practiced by most Certified coaches, as well as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) skills in identifying our core values, with also looking deeply to our old wounds with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) when is applicable. And when this also incorporates a Mindfulness practice it can be very powerful and take healing to the next level, especially when it comes to saving our marriages or in healing after divorce.

If you want to have or to significantly improve your marriages or long term romantic relationships this is the episode for you. I share with you what research, as well as my own personal experience has shown me to be the most important aspects of having and growing a happy passionate marriage. I talk about why these components are important and how I work as a coach to help you decrease or eradicate criticism and negativity in your marriage as well as increase awareness of our childhood wounds and attachment patterns. It is worth your time. If you want to learn more, please subscribe and check out other episodes and follow me at @healinwithkaren and @healinpodcast.

Our weight and appearance comes up a lot with my male and female clients as they want to start dating after divorce. On this episode, I explain why research shows that most diets do not work and why working with a coach or Cognitive Behavioral therapist would be extremely beneficial for your weight loss goals or to feel better about your appearance. I explain why what we think about our weight or appearance directly affects how we feel and therefore what we do and don't do, that then perpetuates the same unsatisfactory or negative thoughts about ourselves. I give several examples of these thoughts and how it affects us and what we can do to get the results that we want or feel the way we want and deserve to feel.

While I have an education in business and over 24 years of business entrepreneurship experience that I use in my coaching, the business coaching that I do is mostly focused on creating the awareness of how our negative thoughts and beliefs affect what we do, or avoid doing as we start and even continue to grow our businesses. On this episode, I talk about how this works, and give many examples that you could relate to as you too, try to start or to grow your legal, counseling, coaching. medical practices or small business.

In this episode, I recap what coaching is, and I talk about the difference between traditional talk therapy, coaching, and deeper healing modalities like EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experience, and more. I talk about trauma, the fact that very few of us had a perfect childhood, and what the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Study considers as trauma, and most importantly, when you would profit from deeper healing modalities and when you can profit from using both. My goal is to inspire you to heal, to grow, and to feel better, do better and be better.
