Thoughts May Vary

Dr. Michelle Haloossim, doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (and Gaby’s acupuncturist), is here sharing all about how emotions are stored in the body and how we can all engage in small activities at home to nourish our mind, body, and soul. We speak about acceptance and trust, learn more about Dr. Michelle’s story, self care routine, and energetic boundaries, and learn more about five element acupuncture. This episode is also packed with tangible resources and visualizations anyone can do at home.

Welcome to Season 03 of Thoughts May Vary! You didn’t think we would leave you for the holidays, did you? It’s the most *triggering* time of the year! Of course we had to come back with our holiday coping routine ideas for you.

Today, in this season opener, we have a catch-up of our time off between seasons, touching on how to build a trust muscle and bringing our inner child along for the healing within that. Then, we dive all into our holiday coping routines.

This Thought covers making space for emotions, how to set boundaries with family members, inner child healing during the holidays, and learning to trust yourself again. We can’t wait for you all to be with us for this next season. Remember, to submit a question, theme, or suggest a guest you’d like to see on the pod by visiting thoughtsmayvary.com/contact

Isaac Hindin-Miller, or Isaac Likes, is a man who has truly lived nine lives. From a writer published in The New York Times, GQ, & Esquire to DJ-ing for Dior, YSL, Vogue, Yeezy, Cartier, Adidas, and more; he also throws inclusive parties all over the world called I Like You that bring celebrity, youth, and culture all together under one roof. He’s been sober for 8 years, he’s working on his vulnerability (which you’ll hear a lot of), and he’s been breaking out of self awareness hell through traditional and non-traditional mental health support. 

This week, our thoughts with Isaac covered: 

Social hierarchy vs inclusivity at parties 

The only thing worse than our problems is our solutions

Non-traditional therapy and healing 

Self awareness hell
