release.

For many, change is scary. However, change is fundamental for existence. Realistically, the core of who we are never changes, we simply rediscover and realign with core beliefs. It is okay for relationships to end and for habits to cease. It’s okay. You never lose yourself. Upgrades are necessary.

Season 2 finale!! I can’t believe it has been 20 whole episodes. Thank you for the support and the love. I will be back in season 3 for an evolved version of release. I love you all.

Winter can be a very challenging and isolating time for a lot of people. The days are short and cold. Dispositions normally shift from generally happier in the summer to less so in the colder months. For some people, this sadness can be pinned as a simple vitamin D deficiency due to lack of sunlight. For some people, their experiences may be different. For those who experience SAD (seasonal affective disorder) or have coexisting mental illnesses, vitamins are a start but not the solution.

In this episode, our host suggests strategies that may help with the incoming feeling of doom that you may be experiencing. We also talk about perception and how simply viewing your situation in a different light can change the situation.

Personally, I feel like society is always pushing us along. There is never time to stop and smell the roses. In this episode, our host talks about taking it as slowly as you need to. Your progress is going to look different than someone else’s. That doesn’t make it invalid. Just because you haven’t gotten there yet, doesn’t mean you’ll never get there. You will.

This episode is in honour of every single person that has struggled (directly or indirectly) with suicide, suicidal ideology and living with mental illness. You are so strong and so valuable. I love you all so much. I’m so grateful for your life.

I talk about my own experience with suicide, ways that have helped me to redirect my (suicidal) thoughts and has allowed me to gain a different perspective on life and death.

Our society has primed us to believe that we are not whole. In order to be happy, we can be sold a variety of things in order to gain happiness. In this episode, we talk about searching for happiness outside of ourselves will always fail. It is only you that can make yourself happy.

tw: brief mention of suicide.

How do we release the negative narratives we swear by? How do we learn to release ourselves from them? In this episode, I speak about the difference between guilt and shame and how we can free ourselves from the isolation that comes with them.

What are some ways to acquire peace of mind? The first on the list is acceptance. How do we accept the things that aren’t going our way? How do we trust that the Divine has a much better plan in store? In this episode, we speak about being in the moment (even if it feels not great) and understanding that the tides will change. You simply have to allow them to.

Every ending is an opportunity for a new beginning. How can you allow endings to happen without attachment? How can you accept new beginnings without expectations? In this episode, our host touches on the concept of “as above, so below” and how we can use nature as a source of learning.

Today, I am completely enraged at the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. This is a law that has protected the abortion rights of women since 1973. Now, almost 50 years later, that right is being taken away. In this episode, our host goes into more detail about her feelings about this decision and how the effects affect us all.

Welcome to season 2! Thank you so much for your support, so far. This year has already been quite a journey. In this episode, our host reflects on how observation has helped her to shift her mindset.
