In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Caroline Brookfield.

Biography

Caroline believes that if everyone took small, unconventional actions to embrace their creativity, we could change the world. Speaker, veterinarian, and stand-up comedian, she delights in using humor and immersive experiences, backed up with research and data, to sway the most reluctant creative. Creativity is so much more than art. She is always up for a challenge, like learning guitar, rock climbing, getting her kids to eat vegetables, meditation retreats with sniper rifles. You know, the usual stuff. A late diagnosis of ADHD explains her deep distaste for irrelevant and pointless drivel. Caroline graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College, is a certified level 2 Creative Problem Solving facilitator, and holds a Certificate of Professional Management from the University of Calgary, where she lives, Her lectures go unheeded by her family. The dog listens, sometimes.

Key Takeaways:
You are creative, even if you have no artistic ability. Engaging your unique style of possibly weird creativity will make us a better person.

She has helped people overcome and heal addictions and trauma while supporting others with dating and increasing their self-love and well-being. He passion for helping people comes from her own experience of healing her childhood trauma and moving from surviving to thriving.

She is a yoga teacher and digital nomad who enjoys traveling worldwide as she inspires others to heal and live their best lives.

They will learn what internal family systems (IFS) are and how they could help them in many areas of their life. They will get some new tools and skills to help them apply them to their own life to help access greater health and well-being.  IFS gives people a way to go into their internal system in their mind/body, and instead of pushing parts of them away from that they don't like or feel like they are in the way, they learn to be curious with these parts so they can be healed and transformed. In doing this, they access more compassion and alignment in their internal system, which also helps with their external environment. IFS is an empirically validated therapy.

This is it, FOLKS! This is the first episode --Season 1, Episode 1.  I am delighted that you have taken your time to listen to the podcast.  I chose this month to release the podcast because this was the date I became a mother for the first time.  My work & life is dedicated to my children, as they mean the world to me.

This podcast will be divided into series, and the first episode would be just me, and then in subsequent episodes, I will bring in amazing guests.

In this episode, I will be talking about holistic health and the wellness wheel. It is a brief overview because we will be going too far more details in subsequent episodes.

Please note that in this podcast, I am frank. There are no sugar-coated topics. I will dare to broach the issues that might seem like the proverbial "elephant in the room".  Over time, you will get to know my passion for mental health and wellness. You will also understand why mental health and wellness is a subject that needs to be talked about.

As far as scheduling, with the exception of the first few episodes, podcasts will be released weekly, bright and early in the morning, just in time for your morning commute to work.

Until we meet again,

              Your host, Dr. Tomi Mitchel
