In this week's episode, I'm joined by psychotherapist Nicole Schiener to talk about the power of anger and how we can use it as transformative energy instead of a toxic one that depletes us.

We talked about:

  • The conflicted relationship that many survivors and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour have with anger because of their trauma.
  • Why is it so important for people with trauma to process their anger and not just 'get over it'.
  • What survivors who are afraid of their anger can do, particularly if they're not sure how to express it.
  • What reclaiming and transforming anger into healing looks like on a personal and collective level.
  • How most survivors are told to get over things that happened a long time ago and how one can respond to these kinds of comments?
  • What a humble warrior means and how we can all be a warrior for others.

This was most definitely an empowering episode and I can't wait for you to hear it!

ABOUT NICOLE SCHIENER:

Nicole Schiener is a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada, and a published author. Her writing has been featured in the Gottman Blog and Elephant Journal.

She provides counseling and supervision at a non-profit organization and sees clients privately at a wellness clinic in St. George, Ontario.

It is for this reason that I invited Trauma Psychotherapist Adriana Alejandre to the podcast.

In this episode we talk about the taboo that continues to surround therapy and why it matters that we all shift our perspectives, now more than ever.

We also discussed why parents, particularly in the Latinx community, are still reluctant to seek mental health support, and also, how they can take steps to become more receptive to the idea.

We dived into what parents, caregivers or any adult can do when a child discloses abuse so that they don't re-traumatize the child, including themselves if they are survivors.

We also talked about why it's so important for kids to get the right mental health support after a disclosure so that they can lessen the long term negative effects that abuse can have and begin to heal sooner, which can dramatically improve their ability to live a happier life.

There were so many little gems as well that will make you take pause and think about how you can support those in your life who are survivors or if you're a parent and never thought about these topics.

I hope you take steps consistently to care for your mental health in these times of crisis so that you can be well, stay well and support your family through this time.

TW: This episode contains discussions on domestic and sexual violence and loss. Please take care of your mental wellness.

In this episode, Arlene Salcedo talks about her journey from witnessing domestic violence, sexual trauma in her teens, the loss of a child in her 20's, to finally tapping into her own inner wisdom, power, and awakening.

Arlene's transcendence from trauma to empowered healer has been a testament to the strength of the human spirit and one that can shine as an example of how we can all step into our own power.

This week, in this special bonus episode, I'm excited to share the collaboration project!

Denise Soler Cox, host of the Self-ish Latina Podcast and co-founder of Project Eñye, plus Rita Bautista, host of the Empowerment and All That Podcast and Nicole Hernandez of The Daring Kind Podcast, joined forces to bring this conversation to the forefront. They invited Linda Garcia, Brenda Gonzales and myself to contribute to the conversation and share our perspectives on this controversy.

For me, this was timely, as I am in the process of beginning to write my own book. In fact, I recently was selected as a scholarship winner for the Hay House Diverse Wisdom Initiative Program, that is actively working to support and nurture writers of colour.

So this issue, is very close to home for me, because the publishing industry has taken note. In fact, Hay House is in it's second round of this initiative now, and it gives me hope.

To me, this issue of diversity, and representation is very important on many levels. And I think these deep dive conversations are necessary so that we can move the needle in the right direction.

This podcast was recorded a few weeks ago, before the craziness of COVID-19, and we had hoped to release this episode last week, but waited. We felt it was ok now because we know people are in need of some positivity, reflection and direction to go somewhere from here.

In this episode, we talk about:

● Linda (Luz Warrior) discusses what relationships were dampened by this book and how she used her work in journalism to investigate and evaluate the novel.

● Brenda touches on the ways American Dirt is a wake-up call for publishers, book lovers, and allies.

● Rosalia dives into the misrepresented narrative of Latinx culture and exaggerated characters within the novel.

● Rita shares a personal story about how American Dirt had an effect on her own life and speaks on what the controversy will do for Jeanine as an artist.

● As group we discuss our own Latinidad and feelings of “enoughness” within the Latinx community.

● Finally, I give a sneak peek into our next film and how American Dirt raises questions and fears for me during the process.

Sleep is more valuable than we give credit for. In particular, when it comes to healing our traumas, sleep has the power to restore our mental wellness as a part of our healing process.

This is one of the reasons I invited my guest Meredith Louden on to the show. Meredith helps people with insomnia learn how to fall asleep without the use of drugs or tricks. She is the founder of Healing Insomnia from Within. She's developed an effective strategy for regaining the ability to fall asleep easily, quickly, and consistently, using the fundamental understandings of how the brain actually works.

I know this episode seems oddly related to CONSENT, but you'll understand the connections when you listen! Enjoy and be sure to share your feedback on your favourite takeaways!

This is a topic that gets overlooked and shy'd away from because it feels overwhelming. But the good news is that there are ways to help our kids navigate the online space safety.

This is why I'm so excited about this week's guest! I had the pleasure of interviewing Titania Joran who is the CMO and Chief Parent Officer of Bark.us, an internet safety solution that helps parents and schools keep children safer across social media, text messaging, and email. As the former host of NBC Atlanta affiliate WXIA’s weekly television show Atlanta Tech Edge, Titania has the honor of covering the latest in tech news and talent across both the city and the globe. Past roles also include serving as the CMO of KidsLink, co-founder and CMO of PRIVET, and Executive Director of Band of Coders Girls Academy. Titania travels the country serving as a tech expert and was named a tech innovator and a mother of invention by The Atlantan in 2015. Titania is mom to a tween son.

In this episode I'm talking about how PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) affect our parenting and the difficulties that survivors find themselves in.

I also discuss how it is compounded when it stems from or becomes an intergenerational issue.

I shared some of my own story and struggle with anxiety and fear with my oldest child about the possibility of him being abused. And I talked about a specific experience, how I dealt with it, and what the resolution was at the end.

In this episode I share the things and ways that I was able to navigate that specific issue and what I recommend for you, my listeners, who have battled with a similar experience.

This episode is not a prescription for what to do, but instead a motivation and inspiration for what is possible when you begin to realize that you are worthy of support.

If you're a parent or not, this will help you reflect on how toxic masculinity has shaped your views and how you can break the cycle of toxic masculinity, mental health stigmas and reclaim your power as a child sexual abuse survivor.

Quentin shared on how he manages anxiety, what it can look like for others, and why it's important to get to the root of anxiety and not deal with it as a surface symptom.

We also talked about equity in communities of color and how this impacts mental health services and more!

Shout out to Rebekah Borucki for making the connection for Quentin and me!
