A Safe Place To Land

This time in space is unique. It is forever going to live in the history books. With the events that are swirling around, there are a lot of emotions that are attached to them.

Some of us have...

gotten sick.
lost loved ones.
feel immensely triggered.
lost our jobs.
not been able to pay our bills.
lost our small business.
become full time homeschooling parents whilst working.

Wherever you are, you're likely experiencing a lot.

There's a collective grief, suffering and trauma that is being shared by all.

This is part 1 of a 2 part series. In this episode, you'll get to know Sarah Odell from Sarah Odell Counseling in Seattle, WA as she and Olivia talk a bit about trauma, in general, and how COVID-19 is really pressing us to let go of our individualistic values and step into more of a communal mindset.

Lots more to say but lets just dig in...

Cheering you on,

Going to see a psychiatrist has long held some intense stigmas.

Probably more so than even seeing a counselor. 😶

In today's episode, Olivia sits down with Lisa Ramos-Archibald at Advantage Mental Health to chat all about...

🤔 The common misconceptions that keep people away from psychiatric care

❤️ How Advantage Mental Health is different

👀 What signs/markers you should look for to know if medication might be the next best step in your health journey.

Lots of solid information in this one so give it a listen. Oh and Advantage Mental Health is the only spot we refer our people to for medication management because they are holistic, they care and they are just really great humans.

Olivia sits down with Lauren MacKellar -- one of our amazing counselors who works with with moms of all kinds -- to chat about how to maintain your sense of SELF as a mom.

It is easy for moms to loose themselves in their kids, their families. After all, they do SO much and it can be hard to figure out who you are besides being a mom.

We're here for you and to remind you that while being a mom is an extraordinary gift...it isn't all of who you are.

Grab a bevvie and lets process this together...

Hey! Hi! How are you!? Today is a real treat. Olivia brings on one of her favorite people, Rachel Miller. Sit down or go for a walk, grab your tissues, and get ready to be changed. 🤘🏽 Olivia & Rachel walk through what it looks like to not be scared of your pain and the freedom that comes on the other side of it. Rachel is refreshingly honest in this episode about her journey over the last 5 plus years of what it’s looked like to walk through heartache, death, & daily panic attacks. A stripping away of everything that essentially has taught her to slow down and let herself be at home again in her mind & body. We talk about “sacred ground” and what it looks like to be open about all your feelings and still be really loved by your people. Vulnerability, courage, coming home, & choosing to become something different altogether is so beautifully described in this episode. So take a listen- we promise - you won’t be disappointed ❤️

Cheering You On,

Your Favorite Team of Counselors
