In this episode, we delve into the profound topic of serving others and the true meaning of help. We explore the contrasting perspectives surrounding assistance, with a focus on distinguishing between genuine empowerment and disempowering acts disguised as help. Join us as we unravel the complexities of this concept and discover ways to make a positive impact that fosters true empowerment.

Often, the desire to assist others stems from a genuine intention to make a difference. However, it is crucial to examine the underlying motivations behind our actions. True empowerment lies in going beyond surface-level help and addressing the root causes of disempowerment. By understanding the distinction between authentic support and actions rooted in a lack of self-worth, we can shift our approach towards a more empowering mindset.

In Conclusion:

In our quest to genuinely help others and foster empowerment, it is vital to examine our intentions, approaches, and the outcomes of our actions. By transcending traditional notions of assistance, we can shift towards a mindset that focuses on long-term empowerment rather than temporary relief. Here is an invitation to embrace active listening, collaboration, and the cultivation of self-worth to create a ripple effect of positive change in the lives of those we aim to help. Together, we can empower individuals to unlock their potential, break free from disempowering cycles, and shape a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

Remember, true empowerment lies not in merely offering a helping hand, but in inspiring others to discover the strength within themselves.

The archetype of the Necessary Hero is a powerful and universal symbol that strikes a chord with those who have faced trauma or adversity in their early lives. It's a heroic figure that we don't often see portrayed in popular media, for it's not about a hero who willingly steps forward to fight for good. Instead, it's about someone who is forced to bear the burden of the world while struggling with the scars of a turbulent childhood and unmet needs But what if that wounded child is also the necessary hero that can lead us to our greatest potential? 

It started with a conversation talking about a pattern with our clients who feel trapped by the need to control everything and are unable to switch off and connect, the Necessary Hero archetype emerges, shining a light on the path towards healing and wholeness.

The Necessary Hero doesn't want to give themselves away, yet they don't know any other way to be loved. They prioritize the happiness of their loved ones above their own and carry the weight of the world to prove the worthiness of the love around them. It's not a healthy way to live, for we must honour ourselves as much as we honour others. To begin this journey, the Necessary Hero must first acknowledge how and why they sell themselves out, and then take mindful and intentional steps to re-align with their core needs and values.

Our anxious responses are not just physiological reactions; they are messengers of something deeper.  In such cases, a holistic approach that targets the root cause of stress and depression, especially if they stem from inner child wounds, is necessary for healing.

Join us in an intimate conversation as we explore how this archetype is triggered, and gain insights into the modalities that can initiate the healing process and bring about a shift in perspective.

"To live is to have a story. We either enter our stories, or they own us. Only when we have the courage to own our history, are we able to write a brave new ending to our story." -Brene Brown

Amidst the chaos of our daily lives, we often find ourselves struggling to keep up with the ever-increasing demands of society.  I hear from my clients all the time, " We feel like we're constantly drowning in a sea of endless to-do lists, self-improvement techniques, and motivational speeches, yet we still can't seem to catch a breath. I've tried every process, modality, and coach out there, and I'm still stuck."

 If you're an overwhelmed person trying to use all your energy and gifts, let me simplify this for you. The way you live your life is determined by the day that your life is made of. If you're already overwhelmed, healing and self-development can become yet another thing on your to-do list. But what if we could approach it differently? What if we could build the day we want by simplifying the process and giving ourselves permission to do the things we truly want to do?

It's time to ask ourselves: is our to-do list truly ours, or is it a product of conditioning from society? What is the outcome we're pursuing, and are we truly happy on this path? Perhaps we've been conditioned to believe that being employed means we're not allowed to ask for more to do less. But what if we found a way to structure our jobs to live our lives? Let's strive for balance and create a life that supports having enough sacred space for our mind, body, and soul.

There is another way, my dear friend. This year, I've been craving simplicity, removing the noise of vision boards and checking my vibration. Instead, I've been asking myself, "How do I want to live each day, and how can I be fully present in each moment?" By embodying this presence, my days have transformed, and so has my life.

So let's take a deep breath together and commit to building the life we truly want. Let's release the overwhelm and control, and instead, embrace a life of simplicity, joy, and presence.

In this poignant and soul-stirring podcast, we delve into the treacherous terrain of depression, where the only constant is the unpredictable ebb and flow of emotions. We explore how depression acts as the great equalizer, indiscriminately taking hold of us all, like a fierce storm that ravages the land.

Nick bravely shares his personal experience with depression, describing it as a deep chasm that separated him from the essence of his being. He speaks of the vast divide between the human and the soul, where the only path to healing lies in traversing the treacherous abyss. Anti-depressants can be a beacon of hope when you need them but also a double-edged sword with the potential for long-term harm.

We delve into the idea that depression is always whispering to us, an unspoken truth that we are not yet willing to hear. It is like a menacing shadow that follows us wherever we go, personified to give it a tangible form that we can grasp. Yet, despite our attempts to conceptualize it, depression remains an enigmatic and formidable foe.

Karis shares her story of postpartum depression but throughout this podcast, we offer guidance and support for those navigating the turbulent waters of depression. We remind listeners that there is always hope, even in the darkest of times, and that seeking help and support is not a sign of weakness but a courageous act of self-care. So join us as we journey through the tempestuous landscape of depression, and discover ways to find light in the midst of the storm.

Anger is like a suit of armor that we wear to protect the most vulnerable parts of ourselves. But what if, in doing so, we're actually preventing ourselves from truly experiencing life and all of its ups and downs? Kids have a way of reminding us of this. They crave our attention and simply want to be seen. And when they experience anger, it's in its rawest form.

We often respond to anger with punishment - time out, pushing it aside, or trying to minimize it. But what if we approached it with a different perspective? What if we saw it as a natural and protective response to our boundaries being violated? What if we took the time to truly understand and process it, instead of swallowing it down and carrying it with us?

Let's embrace the full spectrum of emotions and give ourselves permission to feel.
