IGNTD

This is F-Shame Month and in today’s episode we are diving into what it looks like to embody this theme.  

Practicing mindfulness in anything we do, from making coffee to walking, all the way to wanting to make the world a better place. Being present looks like putting your focus on what you’re doing right now with as little judgement as possible. We are exploring how to step away from the overly critical approach in order to show up in empathy.

Let’s talk about relationships! Do you feel shame? Well, it’s time to show it to the door because everybody has their own journey, story, that they have to go through. Everyone experiences shame and this conversation today is no exception. Our guests (yes, we have more than one for you today!) talk about infidelity, communication, and how they had to redefine what their relationship looked like after 18 years of being together

It’s finally September, which means SAMHSA’s National Recovery Month! This is the month every single year that there’s a lot of noise and activity around the addiction fields. And just like every other year, we at IGNTD have a lot planned for this special month. To kick things off, we’ve started a campaign, “Once an Addict,” that’s really close to our hearts. In this episode, I’ll be taking you through all the details that you need to know about this campaign; what it is, and why we’re doi

We are so, so lucky to be joined by an incredible activist in this episode; Nadya Okamoto. She is so young and is already doing such incredible things in this world. At just the age of 16, she started the non-profit organization, PERIOD. Through the PERIOD Movement, they are fighting to end period poverty through service, education, and advocacy. They distribute products to people in need and are trying to change the way that people talk and learn about periods

With my birthday having just passed, I have been reflecting on how grateful I am to be where I currently am in life. It has taken me a long time to get here. One of the current pieces in my life that serve as a reminder to stay humble and grateful every day is the Five-Minute Journal I was gifted by Sophie a few years back. So, in today’s episode, I want to take you through some of my journal entries from this last year to explore this concept of gratitude and share about the impact it has had on my life

In this episode, we’re Going Deep and wrapping up our “new age of healing” month! We talked to Dr. Richard Ryan and explored self-determination theory, discussed healing old wounds and parenting our inner child with the Holistic Psychologist, learned about healing the mother wound with Kylie McBeath, and (if you popped over to Recovery Secrets), we learned all about ketamine infusion treatment and how it can help aid people on their mental health journey

Today’s episode of Heroes' Recovery, we’re sharing stories to better understand body image and what determines our perception of beauty. We discuss Bruce Lipton’s Subconscious Belief Work and how this plays into our level of attraction for others and ourselves.

In today’s episode, we’re sharing a really fun interview we had with Dr. Richard Ryan, one of the originators of Self-Determination Theory. Self-Determination Theory is considered one of the leading theories of human motivation and has been adopted by thousands of scientists worldwide. As a clinical psychologist, consultant, and researcher, Dr. Richard Ryan studies human motivation and how factors in environments that affect people’s persistence, quality of behavior, and well-being

Today we’re talking about porn. Porn was my gateway for learning about sex and ended up shaping my entire perspective around what sex should look like, early on in life. Due to this, I developed a rather unhealthy relationship with porn and often fell back on it to avoid the risks of intimacy. It took me a long time to recognize the major role it played in my relationships
