Title: Silencing the Inner Critic

Healing can be challenging, but it’s oh so necessary to live a happy, fulfilled life. My special guest, Portia Carney, MBA, entrepreneur, and veteran appears on the reoccurring segment, Unapologetically Real for a down-to-earth, candid, fun conversation about taking responsibility to do her healing work so that no trigger prospers, unfolding versus becoming, discovering self-love and self-acceptance, and improving her relationships with compassion and deep listening.

Lyn Prashant, PhD is CEO and Founder of Integrative Grief Therapy. In the Art of Degriefing Part 2, Dr. Prashant and I discuss non-death losses and approaches to transform your grief and get unstuck. Again, according to Dr. Prashant, "Love is not the reason we grieve... IT'S ATTACHMENT."

According to Dr. Prashant, "Love is not the reason we grieve... IT'S ATTACHMENT. We don’t get over loss. We change our relationship to it."

Typically, men don’t want help for mental health problems due to stigma; and for those who want help, it can take months to get in to be seen by someone. So, what are they supposed to do in the meantime?

Illness occurs when the body is out of balance. This can show up in a whole host of ways such as pain, gut problems, headaches, infertility or an impaired immune system. Traditional Chinee Medicine including acupuncture is a holistic, alternative healthcare approach that’s been around for at least 5000 years and is used by a variety of people including top, elite athletes for a variety of health problems including addictions and sports injuries.

It’s tough to win the game when you don’t know what the game is or what the rules are. You can succeed despite barriers and setbacks when you know the rules and have the right mindset and tools.
