Surviving and Thriving: A Podcast About Life, Mental Health, & Personal Growth

This episode I share a message of hope that I felt spiritually called to offer at this time of great upheaval and suffering for many. I hope you know that good people still exist, love still exist, and positive change is still possible especially when we remember our power and work together. I hope you take care of yourselves and I hope this episode inspires you to look for ways to spread more love at this time!

I hope this podcast can serve as a catalyst for healing and deeper connection that encourages you to get into the community and be part of the solution. We can get through these challenges together!

This episode I share my frustrations with the mental health and spiritual communities frequent exclusion of sociopolitical issues and systemic injustices when discussing mental health and healing. I highlight the importance of decolonizing our mindset around healing and recovery and centering the experiences of BIPOC and other marginalized groups of people in our discussions around mental health in particular. I truly believe we owe it to ourselves and one another to be honest about ALL of the very real circumstances and societal factors influencing our mental health and emotional wellbeing. Please listen with an open heart and mind.

Sending love to those of you who like myself live with BPD (borderline personality disorder), depression, anxiety disorder, CPTSD (other cluster B disorders), those who are neurodivergent and/or from marginalized and BIPOC communities! I see you, I hold space for you, and I hope you know you and your wellbeing matter! Let's heal together!💗

This episode focuses on how to stay level-headed and protecting your peace this fall/winter and election season. I know there are VERY intense energies in the collective right now and lots of tragic events happening globally. So many of us are struggling to balance the weight of it all with everyday life. Whether your concern be related to political issues, health or mental health, global affairs, family or relationship concerns, or finances... whatever the case may be I hope this episodes give you the spark of hope you need and encourages you to prioritize self care. Remember resistance looks differently for everyone. Productivity looks differently for everyone! Taking care of yourself is still part of the work.

In this episode I dive into the challenges that arise with relationships, friendship break ups, and setting boundaries. Releasing relationships during different seasons of your life is so normal. I know a lot of people are dealing with letting go at this time so I do hope this is encouraging. It's okay to release what doesn't align and allow what does to come in.

This episode discusses the reality of shifting from a life stuck in survival mode and the nuanced reasons it can be challenging to adapt to a life of peace. I share some of the prompts I've been using in ChatGPT to compile information to deepen my understanding of these types of life transitions. Some prompts I recommend are: "describe the neurological impact of living life in survival mode due to trauma" or "explain the challenges childhood trauma and living in survival mode can have on a person's ability to adapt to a healthy life". I also recommend experimenting with manifestation using ChatGPT to help create visualizations and descriptions for you.
