  • Moving the Temple: Embracing Mental Health through Dance Therapy with Raven Gibbs

    On today's episode, I speak with Raven Gibbs about mental health stigma, dance therapy, body image, and the need for self care.

    Raven Gibbs is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a BA in Psychology and Sociology with a concentration in Law and Cognitive Science. She recently completed her degree in MS Clinical Mental Health Counseling.


    Over the years, she has worked tirelessly to ensure that the young women she encountered were supported, loved and encouraged. Raven had a vision and executed a plan to address mental health challenges via dance to young ladies that were not open to traditional therapeutic techniques and interventions. She founded Mindfulness Movement to provide dance therapy to communities that are plagued by mental health stigma and limited healthcare resources.

    Raven's mantra: (Say it while smiling.) "I know who I am, and I know whose I am. Because of that, I can rest in confidence that I can change the world. I am purposeful. I am powerful. I am impactful."

  • Lost in the Temple: What to do when You've Lost your Identity

    Ever felt that you were mindlessly going with the motions? You may have been lost within your temple. In this episode, Kristin shares how she lost her identity after having her son and becoming solely focused on following her daily routine. After being unable to answer a silly personality question, Kristin realized it was time for her to rediscover herself, outside of her roles of wife, mom, and entrepreneur. 


    Tips to rediscover yourself:

    • Disrupt your daily routine (dress up instead of wearing another pair of leggings and a t-shirt)
    • Return to your former hobbies to see if they spark any joy within your life
    • Move your body
    • Try new things
    • Set limits and say no!
    • Reconnect to community
