Tune in on Wednesday, 12/13/23, for a brand new episode of The Broken Road to Mental Health Show featuring Yolanda R. Harper LCSW.
▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
While many authors know all of their lives that they want to become published, Yolanda Harper’s first book, Soul Sabbatical, started as a series of journal entries written during a burn out “meltdown” that led to her taking a sabbatical from her roles as a trauma and relationship therapist, researcher, trainer, mental
health thought leader, and business owner/entrepreneur. As she shared more about her experience, she realized how much people resonate with the idea of a sabbatical, but don’t know how to step back from the demands of hustle culture to take one.
Using her understanding of trauma, neurobiology, and the broken systems we live in, Yolanda wraps words around our lived experiences. As if you’re sitting down with her and a cup of coffee, she says the things that you’re thinking in your head, helps you to understand that you’re not alone, and walks you through ways to reclaim your time, energy, and joy.
Yolanda is a warm hearted music and nature lover who has a strong faith and likes #TrailLife. She is real; a therapist, mental health thought leader, entrepreneur, TEDx Speaker, Soul Sabbatical Doula, wife, and Mama always to her grown children – but a human first.
She is brave – not afraid to tackle the grit, whether on the hiking trail or in life. She leads with humanness and enjoys authentic connection with others, bearing witness to their world of tears, laughter… the whole shebang. She invites you to come home to your heart.

Tune in on Wednesday, 11/8/23, for a brand new episode of The Broken Road to Mental Health Show featuring Best Selling Author, Lorna Byrne.

▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Lorna Byrne is an international number 1 bestselling author (her last two books have gone straight in at #1 on the UK Sunday Times Chart) with more than a million readers around the world. Her books, Angels in my Hair, Stairways to Heaven, A Message of Hope from the Angels and Love from Heaven have been translated into 30 languages.

Lorna has been seeing angels since she was a baby. Very unusually, she sees angels physically with as much clarity as the rest of us see people and she sees them every day. This diminutive, soft-spoken, uneducated Irish woman who did not talk about what she was seeing until seven years ago, says she has no idea why she can see angels when others can’t, adding that she is just an ordinary person.

ABOUT OUR GUESTS:

David Hanscom, MD practiced complex orthopedic spine surgery for 32 years. He quit his practice in Seattle, WA to present his insights into solving chronic pain, which evolved from with his own 15-year battle with it. He eventually escaped from the ordeal and discovered that mental pain is the biggest issue. Anxiety is the pain.

His book, Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain systematically presents established treatments for chronic mental and physical pain, which the current medical establishment is overlooking. The self-directed action plan is available at www.thedocjourney.com. It reflects the approaches of hundreds of patients who have escaped from chronic pain.

He recently launched a movement called, “Dynamic Healing” that recognizes the interaction between stress and one’s coping capacity. An overwhelmed person subjected to sustained levels of flight or fight hormones will develop unpleasant symptoms and serious illnesses.
