  • The Other New Kids On The Block: Trauma, Grief, Anxiety & Depression


    When I asked my friend Lenora to be a guest on T Talk and she said she wanted to do an episode on the “other” New Kids on The Block, I wasn’t sure if I needed to bust out my boombox and walkman or this would actually connect back to healing! Of course, with the use of this metaphor, she delivered. 

    In today’s episode, we talk about what she calls the “Unspoken Entourage” of parts that show up after something bad happens-Trauma, Anxiety, Depression and Grief. Without awareness of who is coming alongside of you, it’s easy for your whole world to be rocked.

    In today’s tea, we talk about paying attention to the whole system, and treating them together in order to create space for joy.

    Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:

    • Hear Lenora’s take on healing the other “New Kids on The Block” -Trauma, Anxiety, Depression and Grief

    • Understand the role of “Unspoken Entourage” when showing up in a new relationship or role.

    • Listen to how Lenora helps clients understand their emotion system with her previous training as an engineer. 

    • Find ways to create vicarious joy in your life.

    • Can you name who's rolling up with you everywhere after this episode? 

      And who is your JOY?

    • Redefine and Rise: Empowerment Through Lifting, Body Love and Ditching Diet Culture

      I have to say, one of the coolest things about being a podcast host is meeting so many awesome people and learning about new ways of healing. Today, I got to do just that.

      Meet Jess Brock-Pitts, a licensed therapist and certified personal trainer. What’s very cool about Jess is that she is helping people recover from trauma not just in therapy, but through weightlifting! That’s right. She is a trauma informed weight lifter and uses principles from weight lifting to help her clients gain access to parts of themselves that may have felt inaccessible for a majority of their lives. 

      In this episode, you’ll hear how Jess found weightlifting and how it became an integral part of her own healing. You’ll also hear from me as I talk through some of my own struggles with body image and weight loss, and how Jess works through some of these same issues with her own clients. 

      Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:

      • Learn about Jess’s work as a therapist and trauma informed weight lifting trainer.

      • Hear the main concepts around what it means to be trauma informed in any space.

      • Listen to ways in which trauma recovery may be halted when it comes to healing.

      • Hear Shaelene’s personal share and struggle with body image. 

      •  

        For anyone noticing an impact on their mental health due to body image, as well as those who know they need body work but don’t love yoga or other moving modalities, give this episode a listen and tell me what you think!

            • Unboxing Love: Navigating Jealousy and Non-Monogamy with Kieran Mcmonagle

              How do you manage jealousy in a relationship? How about when you have multiple relationships? Today’s tea is with Kieran Mcmonagle, a radical trans therapist, coach and consultant who holds expertise in many areas, including polyamory and non-monogamy. Per usual, I ask a TON of questions and get schooled in the area of what it means to be in non-monogamous relationship, the role society plays (again, per usual) in creating issues for individuals who feel they don’t fit in the standard box when it comes to relationships, and so much more. What I love about Kieran is how open he is to sharing parts of his own life in efforts of helping others learn, do better and find healing. 

              Whether you are considering non-monogamy or not, this episode still has tips for you. 

              Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:

              • Hear about Kieran’s work as a trans, queer, kinky, gay, polyamorous therapist.  

              • Learn why adding the term “ethical” to non-monogamy can be problematic.

              • Listen to practices that can help regulate intense feelings of jealousy and sadness regardless of your relationship practices

              • Understand the importance of values when it comes to relationships. 

              • Learn about the role of love scarcity in jealousy. 

              • Let Kieran and I know what you think of our talk today. We would love to hear from you!
