If you’ve never heard of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), you’re not alone, but more than likely you know someone who may be silently suffering with this chronic inflammatory skin condition.

HS can affect our most intimate places on our physical body causing pain, discomfort and disability. HS also can have a profound impact beneath the surface on our psychosocial wellbeing.

Even if you don’t have HS, no doubt at some point in your life you have experienced a felt sense of shame, a universal experience, that makes this episode one you’re going to want to tune into.

In this episode, we are stripping down the myths and misconceptions about HS, reveal how best to navigate living with it as well as shine a spotlight on how to shed the shame that keeps too many people hiding in plain sight when it comes to living with HS (or any other challenge for that matter.)

I’m grateful that Brindley Brooks, the Founder and Executive Director of HS Connect, a patient led non profit advocacy group for those with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is my guest and sharing her story of living with this disease. 

She's suffered with HS for 34 years and was silent about her battle for the majority of that time, it wasn't until she had wide excision surgery for her HS that she started the conversation and now she can't stop!

So grab your favorite beverage and get cozy, because if you’ve ever felt unseen and unheard, especially when dealing with a medical issue, you are gonna want to listen to this.

Let's be real, no textbook out there can prep us for the rollercoaster of interacting with other humans. 

But we can make the ride a little less daunting and scary by talking about the things that can create fear and discomfort along the way.

To help smooth out the ride a bit, Kelen's back to spill the beans on the highs and lows of navigating relationships and the hard earned lessons along the way.

​
This heart-to-heart aims to highlight the importance of awareness in relationships. 
​
Mistakes? We've all made them. It's about learning, growing, and taking purposeful steps towards strengthening our bonds.
​
So, brace yourself for some candid chats, a sprinkle of humor, and a whole lot of love! 💗

​​Join us as we venture into the uncharted territories of relationships.
​
I’d love for you to listen with your teens and young adults, as at the end Kelen gives specific advice about how us parents can best support our kids as they navigate these tough situations.

Have you ever felt anxious?

Or perhaps a better question to ask is how often do you feel anxious?

Research shows that anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older which is equivalent to 30% of adults being affected at some point in their lives. 

What that really means is that if you’ve struggled with anxiety, you’re not alone.

And it’s totally understandable with current events, living through the pandemic and experiences you may have had in childhood or your formative years.

Anxiety is an emotion most of us are very familiar with that can make us feel uneasy and uncomfortable in our skin.

So if you’ve felt that way or are feeling that way too….first, you’re not alone, and second, you need to listen to this episode because I’ve brought a special guest into this conversation today to help strip away the myths and misconceptions about what anxiety is and  exactly what you can do to help live with it. 

In this episode, we’re going Skinny Dipping with Dr. Chloe Carmichael who is a clinical psychologist and USA Today bestselling author and holds a Masters and Doctorate of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology.

Her book, Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety was endorsed by Deepak Chopra and called a “game changer” by Jim McCann (founder of 1800-FLOWERS). She’s a sought after expert for media outlets like  ABC Nightline, CBS Inside Edition, PsychologyToday and MindBodyGreen.

So grab your favorite beverage, get comfortable and let’s dive in.
