This week I am talking to Adele Wang, a mentor, speaker, author and energy healer from Atlanta, USA.  We discuss how the constant drumbeat of self-development can create a culture of needing to 'fix' yourself and that when the bar keeps moving you can get stuck in a "not good enough" loop which can lead to, or be unhelpful when dealing with depression. We dive into the links between deep connection, receiving and more Feminine presence traits and how when we can experience people in the moment, we can heal. Adele had suffered for many years with depression, anxiety and physical pain before discovering Reiki and starting her own healing journey. She now helps smart, intuitive, perfectionist Women to create happiness and success in their lives.

This week I am chatting with Tommy Danquah, one half of Man up! The Men's Mental Health Podcast. We talk self-medicating, chaotic environments, hiding from ourselves and others and what we did to own our depression and begin to heal. 

Tommy is a blogger, musician and Dad based in Watford who has been through life-changing depression which affected his young family so adversely he has been through radical change to get back on track. He is keen to help others who are going through the same thing in the best way he can, by talking, so I had to have him on TIWIK.
