The Real HPG

I had the pleasure of talking with Jeanne Bessette. Jeanne transcends the role of an artist; she is a transformative force and a visionary with an unshakable mission to imprint the world with lasting change. Through her art, she alchemizes the rawness of human experiences, embracing emotions and authenticity, and channeling them into cycles of growth. With a background in shamanism and a mastery of color, she taps into higher realms, inviting a co-creation process that results not only in stunning images but also in conscious-activated art.

Renowned as a conscious artist, disruptor, speaker, and guide, Jeanne effortlessly channels divine messages and energy into her works. Her art becomes a tangible vessel for healing, radiating a state of empowerment for herself, her clients, and the spaces they inhabit.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Rhonda. We talk about the happy accident that led her to breath work, helping folks heal, and using the pharmacy we have in ourselves. We dive into the benefits of breath work and why we should be doing it. We discuss the parasympathetic nervous system, science, and intentionally taking over your breathing.

Rhonda's Bio:

This life is an incredible journey! Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska I made my way to Texas in 2001. I’ve been privileged to support a world-changing husband, raise my inspirational son, be a high school French Teacher, photographer, founder of the Choose Courage Foundation to work with survivors of domestic abuse, and now a meditation and breathwork teacher. It keeps getting better! I love being curious about life, learning how to be helpful to others, and showing up for a mesmerizing journey back to myself.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Stacy Messiner who is a psychologist who helps folks with ketamine-assisted therapy. I am fascinated by this way of helping people, and so excited to share it with you all today.

Dr Meissner is a Psychologist, mother, sister, daughter, and friend.  She has cultivated an extraordinary world of close, deep, and meaningful connections with her clients. Her clinical training is extensive and has learned the most from helping patients navigate through the peaks and valleys of life.

She trained and incorporated Ketamine Assisted Therapy into her practice. She has found that combining CBT with Ketamine treatment has led to deeper insights, clearer understanding, and ultimately, newfound lightness.

Today, we have a special guest joining us, Sam Synett, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Life Coach. Get ready to dive deep into the topic of confidence!

We tackle the big question: what exactly is confidence? Sam breaks it down for us, helping us understand the true essence of this elusive quality. We explore the idea of allowing ourselves to be seen, embracing vulnerability, and stepping into our authentic selves. Confidence is all about owning who we are and valuing our own opinions above those of others.

One thing we can't ignore in this digital age is the impact of social media on our confidence levels. Sam sheds light on how scrolling through picture-perfect posts and how the use of filters can affect our self-esteem and make us feel inadequate. We discuss the effects of comparison, which, is the thief of joy.

But here's the good news: confidence isn't a fixed state. It ebbs and flows, and that's okay. We explore the idea that confidence is a journey, and it's important to approach it with self-compassion. Sam shares valuable insights on how we can cultivate self-compassion and nurture our confidence along the way.

To wrap up the episode, Sam generously provides three crucial and simple tips to improve our confidence. These practical strategies can be easily incorporated into our daily lives, empowering us to boost our self-assurance and embrace the fullness of who we are.

So, if you're ready to dive into the world of confidence, join us for this insightful conversation with Sam Synett. Get ready to redefine what it means to be confident and discover the power of valuing yourself above all else. Let's dive in and take that confident leap together!

Sam shares what she is up to and how she is balancing meeting her own needs and providing the level of care her clients need. Check out her group, The Golden Hour, for more insight on how community with like-minded others can help your confidence.

Sam also shares how she is conducting trauma informed trainings to help ease the impact of the traumatic experience from the pandemic. Stay tuned for more on that topic!

On todays minisode, HPG shares four simple tips to practice self-compassion.

Big thanks to Sam Synett, for re-introducing me to Self-Compassion and Dr. Kristen Neff's work!

Self-compassion, as defined by Dr. Kristen Neff: Self-compassion is simply the process of turning compassion inward.  We are kind and understanding rather than harshly self-critical when we fail, make mistakes or feel inadequate.  We give ourselves support and encouragement rather than being cold and judgmental when challenges and difficulty arise in our lives. Research indicates that self-compassion is one of the most powerful sources of coping and resilience we have available to us, radically improving our mental and physical wellbeing. It motivates us to make changes and reach our goals not because we’re inadequate, but because we care and want to be happy. This website offers information about self-compassion, as well as research, guided practices and a way to test your own self-compassion level. It’s a good place to start on your journey of leaning to be more self-compassionate.

On today's episode, we have Dana White-Guerrie from The Yarn Consolery Liv. Dana helps folks reweave the tapestry of their new life by creating a plan to start anew and guide them on their path. The Yarn Consolory helps folks through community building, in groups, education, and collective care. We talk about how people seem to be braver online instead of with the folks they see daily, pressing shame out of the darkness and vulnerability hangovers. We covered more on this episode, and I loved my chat with Dana, and I know you will, too.

Dana White-Guerrie has a Master of Science in Organization Leadership, Leadership, and Management from Regis University, a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communications and Organizational Communication, and a Minor in Gender Issues from the Metropolitan State University of Denver. Dana has tried to educate herself about her imposed identities, addictions, and diagnoses. Dana was chased by years of court-ordered and self-imposed therapy. Dana was always looking for more, using countless techniques in order to cure herself.  With the help of a psychiatric team, medication, and her family's loving support, she got sober from alcohol. Then she found IAS, the Zooms, Telegram groups, the Sobertownpodcast.com crew, and the Rewired program –ultimately, these were the catalysts to her awakening.  She has used many programs and tools to find the answers and break free of the trauma(s) within.

I had the pleasure of talking with Melissa Lowe. Melissa is a fellow breast cancer survivor, mama, and coach. We discuss time management, self-care, sleep, and motherhood. I loved my chat with Melissa, and I think you will too. BioMelissa is a wife, working mom of two, and breast cancer survivor who resides on the beautiful island of St. Thomas. When not spending time with family, you can find her cooking up a storm, channeling her creative side through design work, or jet-setting to new destinations together.After her cancer diagnosis, Melissa realized she had been playing life too safe and small. She made a commitment to take courageous action on the passions God placed on her heart, which led her to pursue a coaching certification and establish the Wellthy Mama brand.Through Wellthy Mama, Melissa inspires overwhelmed mothers to prioritize self-care and craft lives they truly love. Her superpower is cultivating hope and positive perspectives so women walk away feeling uplifted and empowered to create change.Melissa is delighted to be sharing her journey of moving from fear to bold faith here on the podcast today!LinksYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@thewellthymamaSubstack: https://substack.com/@melissakloweInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellthymamaco/Website: https://melissaklowe.com/Connect with HPG: www.accordingtohpg.comwww.instagram.com/accordingtohpgTake your podcast to the next level with Jay Wilson! www.instagram.com/podcastmechanic--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/livingmybreastlesslife/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/livingmybreastlesslife/support

Guest, Bill Lindala and HPG discuss Just for Today Coaching. Bill shares a bit of his story about sobriety and recovery. We discuss why he founded his organization. Bill touches on his podcast with his co-host, Mike. He shares his experience with AA, the 12 steps, and his coaching approach with folks who need support getting sober and into recovery.

You will hear some great metaphors and gain some inspiration and insight.

Bill talks about Coaching Services Group, a collaboration with 8 other mental health professionals that I am very excited to be a part of.

Bill has been sober since April 18, 2010, and it wasn't a choice, it was a necessity.  With the help of many people and daily work, he was able to get sober and stay sober and his goal is to assist others on their journey. 

He was raised through a 12-step program and still practices those principles today, but he also understands that it's not the only path.

Whether your goal is a 12-step recovery, being alcohol-free, or just finding the freedom from substances, we can help.  Regardless of what path you are on, the solution is the same.
