All Things Authentic

There is a specific narrative around pregnancy and postpartum, and a huge piece of this narrative is not discussed. This week, I am joined by Iliamari Vazquez Houston, a trauma therapist who specializes in postpartum journeys.
We discuss the honest & vulnerable parts of pregnancy and postpartum. Not the parts that are glorified, but the parts that are often left out of the discussion. Learn how to shift our discussions and understanding so that we can authentically connect and support ourselves and those around us. Join in now on this conversation!

What expectations have you felt the weight off? There are many expectations that we are surrounded by that have huge impacts on our lives.
This week, I am joined by Andra Dediu, and we discuss the impact of societal and familial expectations, but also the expectations we place on ourselves. Because of the impacts on the self, there is some healing that we need to release these expectations.
Join in on this conversation as Andra shares ways in which we can heal and step into our whole and authentic selves.

How has mental health impacted your life and those close to you?
Mental health touches the lives of all of us, which requires a continuous conversation around such an important topic.
There is support and community needed to help those struggling with mental illness, and this week, Danielle McDowell, LPC, discusses what this support can look like. She inspires us with her own personal journey in supporting a loved one and will help you remember that you are not alone. Join in on this important conversation so we can continue to spread awareness and support.

I am excited for a new season of the podcast, which represents a new chapter. Have you thought about the chapter or era you are currently in, or the one that you are entering?
Some of us make sense of our changes through naming chapters in our lives, and some of us are not quite sure. Wherever you fall in this category, we are all usually striving for some personal growth and continued healing.
This episode I discuss what this growth and healing can look like in the midst of different phases in our lives, especially as we approach another ending year; and I also share my personal goals and reflections. Tune in now for the launch episode of season 3!
