  • Beyond Infertility And Childless Not By Choice with Dr. Natascha Hebell-Fernando

    Dr. Hebell-Fernando, PhD began her education with extensive study in molecular biology before receiving an MBA from Clemson University. During her work as a DNA researcher, she observed the very real need for uncovering the root cause of illness and working with the body’s wisdom to promote healing. This observation became the foundation for her love of healing modalities found in Reiki, functional nutrition, and East-Asian medicine. She is a Reiki Master and BioEnergetic Practitioner.

    As Highly Sensitive Person, she struggled first-hand with aggressive and one-size-fits-all approaches (even in the "alternative healing world"), and she focuses on offering her clients a safe and gentle space for restoration and healing.  A lifelong learner, she completed her Integrative Medicine Doctor (BOIM) and Doctor of Humanitarian Services from the World Organization of Natural Medicine. She is also a licensed acupuncturist and holistic health practitioner in the state of Arizona.

    She shares her insight and guidance virtually with clients worldwide. In particular, she helps women cope with the challenges of infertility, loss, failed fertility treatments and childlessness.  It is her mission to raise awareness of the physical, emotional and financial exhaustion that women and couples experience on their infertility journey. There is no soft place to land once these treatments fail. She offers a message of hope to inspire women to find their soul purpose in life and regain their self confidence, self worth and passion.

    In this episode of The Self Project Podcast:

    • Being childless not by choice
  • Beginning to move forward from the trauma - finding acceptance and processing your journey
  • Triggers of coping with infertility
  • How to be more supportive of a friend who might be struggling with infertility
  • Learn more about the PEACOCK method that Natascha uses with her clients

  • UnBoxing “God” with McCall Bennett-Lawrence - More on God, Philosophy, Al-Anon 12-Step Recovery, and Psychology

    Join McCall and I for this epic episode, where we talk more about finding your version of God, spirituality, 12-step recovery, philosophy, parenting, and a whole lot more.  My thinking was stretched so much, and I know yours will be too!

    McCall has been active in 12-step programs for more than 20 years.  Her involvement started after her mother suffered a traumatic brain injury combined with uncontrolled alcoholism.  Seeking a way of dealing with her turbulent childhood, and hoping for some woo-woo thing called “Spiritual Awakening”, McCall found that the steps to recovery were also stumbling blocks — important goals to achieve, but how?

    Upon losing her job at the beginning of the pandemic, McCall was encouraged to start a podcast. And so that's exactly what she did!   

    UnBoxing "God" is a bi-weekly podcast discussing spiritual issues involving God, philosophy, 12-step recovery, and psychology.

    McCall taps into wisdom of the ages, from great minds such as Plato, Jung, Marcus Aurelius, Helen Keller, William James, and Richard Feynman, as well as theologians and clergy, to “UnBox” the mysteries of God, spirituality, recovery, and the complicated, often contradictory messages they offer.
