Unlocking the Power of IFS in Healing Trauma (Rikki Jacobson Davies)

admin — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 00:56:05 +0000

Rikki Jacobson Davies, a therapist specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma therapy shares her journey into the field, the evolution of trauma understanding, and the importance of hope in healing. Rikki explains the principles of IFS, its relationship with other modalities like EMDR, and the significance of integrating different therapeutic approaches for holistic healing, the complexity of trauma and the need for personalized therapeutic strategies.

Rikki delves into the intricacies of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, exploring how individuals can engage with their trauma without needing to know the exact source of their pain. She discussed the importance of experiential knowing, the role of self in healing, the distinction between healing the pain versus the narrative of trauma and the individual journey of healing, emphasizing that it is a lifestyle choice rather than a quick fix.

There is a complex relationship between compassion and accountability in the context of healing, particularly when dealing with harmful behaviors. There is significant importance of compassion, values, and the dialectical approach in therapy, emphasizing the need for therapists to guide clients towards meaningful goals and the challenges of addiction, the neuroplasticity of the brain, and the significance of finding the right practitioner. Rikki shares insights on books that have influenced her understanding of trauma and healing, advocating for a more complex and multifaceted approach to healing that honors individual experiences.

As a private clinician and sought-after lecturer, Rikki developed a unique approach to navigating and healing from complicated, confusing, and painful relationships. She speaks the language of relational trauma and teaches advanced clinicians to understand it and navigate it for themselves and their clients. Rikki has spent more than a decade developing programs and training people in positions of influence, all aimed at creating institutional, communal, familial, and psychotherapeutic cultures that foster safety and respect. Her collaborations ranged from community leadership and educational institutions to therapists and leaders in the mental health community. The trainings and workshops she created have been delivered in over 20 institutions and organizations, reaching thousands of people throughout Israel, Europe, and the United States.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Unpacking the DBT Toolbox (Meg Rowley)

admin — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 19:56:06 +0000

In our 3rd part in our series on Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Meg again joins us. Discover the toolset available to help manage BPD with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT’s core principles, techniques, and applications can be used and included mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and radical acceptance. Critically important is emphasizing the importance of mindfulness as a foundational skill in DBT, serving as a gateway to other techniques.

The “TIP skills” (Temperature, Intense exercise, Paced breathing, and Paired muscle relaxation) as effective tools for quickly reducing physiological arousal during moments of crisis.

Emotion regulation emerges as another crucial component of DBT, focusing on understanding, experiencing, and expressing emotions in healthy ways. Meg explains the concept of “wise mind” and shares practical techniques for modulating emotional intensity, such as paced breathing and opposite action.

Another tool is interpersonal effectiveness, which involves acquiring skills for assertiveness, effective communication, and boundary-setting in relationships. Meg introduces the “DEAR MAN” technique (Describe, Express, Assert, Reinforce, Mindful, Appear confident, Negotiate) as a structured approach to making requests and resolving conflicts respectfully.

Radical acceptance is discussed as a key aspect of distress tolerance, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and embracing reality, even when it is difficult or painful. Meg and explores how radical acceptance allows individuals to move beyond resistance and toward meaningful change.

These skills and many more, empower individuals to make informed choices, take control of their lives, and cultivate resilience in the face of adversity.

Exhale – What It Takes To Just Breathe (Fally Klein)

admin — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 18:34:19 +0000

When asked to list essentials or things you can’t live without, food and water are the first things that come up, but there’s one above all that we often overlook: oxygen.

In this extra insightful interview, we have a returning guest: author, hypnotherapist, and breathwork facilitator Fally Klein. Fally has personal experience and a lot of wisdom regarding trauma, resilience, and healing our bodies and souls through different modalities. In fact, we’ve had her for several Hope to Recharge episodes before, with one of our conversations focusing on self-love as the path to healing.

For this episode, we are revisiting the topic of our very first episode with Fally, which focuses on her expertise on breathwork. We first discuss the basics of breathwork: what it is, common misconceptions, its history, and Fally’s personal journey with it. We then delve into the actual process of breathwork, the mindfulness needed, the different methodologies, and how it can affect you positively when properly utilized.

Breathwork is the relationship you have with breath. It reintroduces movement. Breath is life force. It is like a reset button. It is a brilliant system. It is a spirit, it is wise, it is instant. It is a vibration.

Breath is limitless.

Breaking the Stigma & Shedding Light on Adult ADHD (Dr. Dara Abraham)

admin — Thu, 21 Sep 2023 16:56:14 +0000

Awareness can be the first step towards empowerment, and such is the case with adult ADHD. In this episode, join Matana and Dr. Dara Abraham, a psychiatrist specializing in adult ADHD, as they discuss the differences in ADHD symptoms presentation between children and adults, and the general process of getting diagnosed and treated later in life. They also tackle the benefits and side effects of medication as a first-line treatment, other possible forms of care, as well as the common misconceptions about ADHD diagnosis that cause others to hesitate from seeking help.

Often becoming an undiagnosed condition, ADHD tends to be overlooked and carried on over to adulthood, leading to executive dysfunctions, and at times, even secondary disorders. By being aware of its symptoms and the possibility of a late-in-life diagnosis, more people are willing to reach out to a professional and get the treatment they need.

Dr. Dara Abraham is a Philadelphia-based, board-certified psychiatrist. Through her boutique concierge practice, Dr. Dara Psychiatry, she provides personalized assessments and treatment plans to individuals with ADHD, particularly those who receive a diagnosis later in life. Driven by her own journey of getting a diagnosis as an adult, she is dedicated to raising awareness, offering comprehensive care, and empowering patients with knowledge to make informed decisions about their treatment.

Getting Unstuck: Live with More Mindfulness & Purpose (Dr. Leah Katz)

admin — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 18:53:55 +0000

Having a strained relationship with religion is not new for a lot of people, especially those that come from an Orthodox background. In this episode, Matana and Dr. Leah Katz, a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with teenagers and adults, talks with us about the role of mindfulness in breaking free from the traditions and expectations that keep us from living an authentic life and the journey towards living your authentic self and dealing with the obstacles that come with it. They also tackle the difference between spirituality and religion, and how mindfulness helps in redefining our approach to religion, traditional beliefs, and God.

Mindfulness is treating ourselves with compassion, and only then can we start healing and making peace with living our true selves. In the end, bravery is removing the distractions and instead opening ourselves up, taking a pause, and confronting our pains.

Dr. Leah is a clinical psychologist working in private practice in Portland, Oregon. In 2022, she published her first book “Gutsy: Mindfulness Practices for Everyday Bravery”. She also speaks, writes, and provides expert commentary on mental health.

Sex & Intimacy in the Orthodox Jewish Community: What’s working, What’s not working & What needs to change (Talli Rosenbaum)

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 16:00:06 +0000

Talli Rosenbaum, an individual, couples and certified sex therapist, who deals mainly with human relationships, and in particular, intimate relationships, joins us in this eye opening episode that confronts a controversial topic that needs exploration. Suppressed and overt traumas of all kinds can be often be triggered and revealed in intimate and personal sexual situations. Even more, one’s first sexual experience in of itself, can be perceived as a traumatic event, if conversation, mutual expectations, assumptions and desires are not properly addressed in advance.

Intimacy and the dynamics between marriage partners have been a taboo subject in the orthodox world. In this episode, Matana and Talli discuss emotional and physical intimacy and some of the issues common in the Orthodox world.

What are Orthodox Jewish women facing when dealing with the mitzvah of Niddah?
Are Orthodox Jewish men taught the appropriate way to interact with the opposite gender?
If not, how does this interplay create conflicts?
What happens when one partner is less interested in sex than the other?

Matana and Talli tackle these questions and more in this episode. Providing validation and empathy to our spouses are imperative to create relational safety. Communication is key to safety in all good relationships as in the case of every relationship that one is trying to repair. Feelings of rejection, anger and resentment are typical when dealing with sexual issues. Therefore, the ability to be completely present and listen to the other person is imperative for the healing to begin and truly take place. Much of our ability to connect has to do with what we were taught about our entitlement toward pleasure, what we were taught about our autonomy over our bodies, as well as our own understanding of our bodies.

About Talli Rosenbaum: Together with Rabbi Scott Kahn, Talli the co-host of Intimate Judaism, which is one of Matana’s Top 5 Podcasts. She is also the co-author of the book “I Am for My Beloved: A Guide to Enhanced Intimacy for Married Couples.”, together with Dr. David Ribner.

In this first episode of 2023, Matana walks through the steps of how to focus on listening. Others often turn to us to unpack concerns, share moments and be a listening ear but we may not give the attention they deserve, despite our best intentions. Moreoften, people aren’t using the words to accurately transmit what they wish to convey or the emotions they feel.

Human connection is critical and to be a soundboard without presence of mind isn’t providing empathy or sympathy to those who may desperately need it at that moment. We often listen without understanding the underlying concern, which is as not effective at grasping the intent. This episode provides real life and personal examples of how we can all learn to focus and provide comfort to those we care about through understanding the deeper message.

A Thanksgiving Holiday Gift to you:

Each morning I start my day with a gratitude meditation that grounds me, brings me back to “center” and “balances” me for the day as much as possible. This process helps me to focus on things that matter to me and still allows space for what hurts at the same time. On this Thanksgiving, I want to thank you all, each and every one of you, for being a part of Hope to Recharge, for joining me in my journey and being a part of our mission. I am grateful and appreciate all of your feedback, critique, inspiration, support, and most importantly, for being you.

This audio episode is my personal custom gratitude meditation that I practice, and I encourage you to listen and practice along with me, so that you can begin your morning with it and end your day with it. This meditation is intended to be listened to when you have a moment of quiet and calm, and without disturbance, to allow you to focus on the words, breath and devote time to achieve its full effect.

Remember: no two days are the same. Some days you will feel words that will be more powerful and meaningful and some days they might feel painful. Sit with those feelings and feel free to customize and/or change the words along the way. I personally know how verbalizing and internalizing the sense of gratitude created a transformative shift in my life, moving from deep depression and trying to embrace the moments that are ordinary to extraordinary. I hope you enjoy this and I hope you “gift yourself” the gift of infusing your day with gratitude.

Studies show that gratitude “vibrates” at 540 MHz and being grateful, falls on the same level on the chart as love. It is one of the highest vibration frequencies one can be. The more time spent in the frequency of gratitude and love, the more your body’s frequency rises and the healthier you become.

Why not “gift” ourselves with something that we can easily give ourselves and choose each morning to tap into the highest frequency God created in the universe? We each have many things that we don’t have control over, but we do have the ability to control our mind. Let’s tap into the gift of gratitude and have the benefits of the Gratitude effect.

Thank you again for choosing Hope to Recharge at this moment and have a meaningful day and a Happy Thanksgiving holiday.

With much love and gratitude,

-Matana

Coming out of our series on Marriage & Relationships and looking forward, we still hear and see many who do not understand the what the struggles with mental health means and how demanding and dominating it can be on ourselves and those whom we love. Some of us are alienated by those who we considered friends and others are pushed back into stigma.

Yet, gratitude remains our powerful ally, our undefeatable weapon that can aid in out quest to heal. Living strong and with a definitive motive to heal, we can accomplish insurmountable lows using this magical power by recognizing even the smallest things that we take for granted.

Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, an LDS relationship and sexuality coach with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, discusses how we all want security in our lives, marriage, society and often in religious beliefs. Often the “rule” becomes the most important thing which then creates tension and frays our freedom and structure. Instead of allowing honesty and courage to drive us, we resort to making others happy, which causes us to fracture.

Dr. Jennifer discusses how individuals and couples can achieve greater satisfaction and passion in their emotional and sexual relationships, to foster self- and sexual-development, create happier intimate relationships, as well as happier individuals, despite social consequences by becoming self aware and understanding our choices.

In this second part of this episode, (part 1 here) with our returning guest Elisheva Liss, we dive into the controversial topic of the benefits and challenges of making our partners and children aware of the fundamentals of relationships and the taboo topic of sex awareness.

Often, religious or community obligations and accepted practices encourage young people to marry, and often without providing the tools to a happy marriage. Expectations in physical and emotional relationships are followed by disappointment, marital distress and divorce, leaving us to ponder what went wrong. Nowadays, the notion of commitment is mocked like an outdated religious construct and Elisheva suggests we take the time and patience to educate children, when age appropriate, and on an easy to understand level, that people experience love in different ways, as a much needed preparation for relationships so as to avoid misinformation and missed expectations later on in life. Listen to previous episodes with Elisheva here and here.

In part 1 of this 2 part episode with our returning guest Elisheva Liss, we discuss the views shared and seen by ourselves and society regarding divorce. Elisheva is a licensed psychotherapist whose training is in marriage and family therapy, and also treats individuals and couples. You can listen to previous episodes with Elisheva here and here.

Sometimes divorce is necessary and sometimes the topic is broached because of frustration and stress. When working it out for legitimate reasons becomes impossible, the stigma and perception may be too much to bear. Still, giving it another shot at making peace is often the best option if not only to be certain that you gave it your all and face regret later.

In part 2 of our episode with attorney-turned-Imago-healer Igor Meystelman, Igor shares the nitty gritty of how Imago therapy works, explaining and drawing from his own journey and experience from the dialogs with his wife. Imago relies on the fundamentals of human behavior and our deep and innate desire to grow and form healthy human connections.

By sharpening and heightening our intrinsic senses of perception and intuition, Imago allows us to put what we already know, into thought and words. With practice, empathy becomes our initial reaction to any conflict or to any person, and supersedes our reactive and impulsive tendency to be insensitive, critical or harsh.

To fully appreciate this episode, be sure to listen to part 1 found here: https://hopetorecharge.com/episode/the-evolution-of-a-divorce-lawyer-to-imago-healer, in which Igor shares the journey of how he got to Imagoland. We previously mentioned how he saw many couples pursuing divorce but after a fateful and explosive conflict with his wife, he discovered Imago Therapy, which helped his conquer obstacles in his own marriage and exponentially strengthen the bond between himself and his spouse.

Although its power has the latent ability to overcome tremendous barriers, heal years of unintentional abuse and gain true wisdom, it is most effective when both participants are willing and ready to grow together, to heal and unite. In unimaginable ways, Imago provides the critical tools needed to mend years of chronic dispute and allows each participant to finally feel what their partner has felt all along. In their continuing journey, both participants can adapt new methods of truly understanding their spouses in a healthy and loving way and achieve a true love that comes from a place of safety, deep understanding, empathy and trust.

As an attorney, Igor Meystelman saw many couples pursuing divorce. In his own personal life, after a fateful and explosive conflict with his wife, he discovered Imago Therapy, which helped his conquer obstacles in his own marriage and exponentially strengthen the bond between himself and his spouse. Despite his career aspirations, he decided to take on learning the skills needed to become a Certified Imago Facilitator to allow couples seeking divorce the alternate option of reuniting with Imago therapy to foster rehabilitation and spousal harmony.

In this first episode of a two part series, Igor reveals how he came to discover how Imago isn’t typical therapy. Although its power has the latent ability to overcome tremendous barriers, heal years of unintentional abuse and gain true wisdom, it is most effective when both participants are willing and ready to grow together, to heal and unite. In unimaginable ways, Imago provides the critical tools needed to mend years of chronic dispute and allows each participant to finally feel what their partner has felt all along. In their continuing journey, both participants can adapt new methods of truly understanding their spouses in a healthy and loving way and achieve a true love that comes from a place of safety, deep understanding, empathy and trust.

Aliza Bulow, a returning guest, shares the path that led to her conversion to Judaism with us, an in depth conversation about finding belonging in our community, and her love, respect and trust she shares with her husband, despite his late-in-life rejection of their religion. Aliza previously shared her journey through her son’s depression and eventual suicide in part 1 here and part 2 here.

As a young teenager, Aliza was unsettled with her parents’ religious views, and searched for truth and peace. She studied different paths before finding a book on Judaism in her middle school library and immediately felt at home and wanted to convert. The local Rabbi told her she was too young to convert, but that she should go to camp where she ate up every opportunity to learn. Aliza’s parents supported her exploration, and off she flew over the North Pole to Israel at 16 years old to see if anyone could tell she was a convert, where it was immediately obvious that she had not been born Jewish, having a last name of Beech from the city of Portland, Oregon.

It took time and a great deal of learning to feel that she could claim to be a part of her new community. However, as her kids and grandchildren are born into it, their family feels more established in the community. Becoming a leader has given her a purpose among the people. Aliza still feels like an outsider looking in at mainstream Orthodox Judaism since she believes that she was not made to follow practices commonly held, but to connect herself and other people to Hashem, and to each other, to strengthen the Jewish community so it can shine brightly and cause others to want to join too. Her goal is to guide others to the truth of who God is.

As a convert, she has a different perspective on everything. She didn’t learn or pursue out of obligation or because it’s what “everyone else” was doing. It was all fresh; it was all new. An average Jewish person may not have noticed what she sees because they often see commonly-held perspectives.

Her marriage to someone who rejected religion leaves no correct answer on how to deal with such a situation. When tragedy struck her family and her husband left their shared spirituality, they choose to cling to each other through the hardship, without judgment through the grieving process. While Aliza is sad that her husband turned away from God, he supports her in her choice of practicing religion, despite his aversion to it. He works hard to provide enough money for kosher food and is supportive of her dreams to change the world with Hashem, despite being against his beliefs. While it is challenging to be disconnected from a spouse because of nonparallel beliefs, there are many married couples who do share their faith but still don’t share a spiritual connection. Despite their philosophical differences, their children have grown up seeing parents demonstrate a deep respect and love for someone with an opposing view, allowing for a safe environment for exploration and the choice to choose their own path

Coming back from Passover break, we catch up on Matana’s journey, and the internal changes seen over the past few weeks. May is crowned National Mental Health Awareness month, but is it enough to just have it marked in a calendar? Growth and appreciation are a constant and required focus to continue along the journey of recovery and noticing the little details are a critical tool to developing a healthy gratitude mindset. Awareness can be fickle if it isn’t well defined and intended for long term internalization.

Awareness is only successful if we make a commitment to take the required next steps to living a better and healthier life. Each person’s journey to recovery is unique and is every therapist’s session. No two people will chart the same course and we all must try different avenues that could lead to improvement since we don’t know in advance which will be the best choice. We all, however, must put forth that effort to make it happen or there won’t be any positive change.

—————————————————————————

Topics Discussed

How the mental health community has changed over the years
Committing the resolve to taking the first steps of the process to start healing
Healing not just for yourself but to share and help others

As Matana faces different hectic life events, she navigates from important to more important. Often, we neglect important items for things that are more important, and that’s ok. Feeling unaccomplished or missing out on goals can often lead to disappointment but we need to also focus on downtime. Critically important for maintaining proper mental health, taking the time we need to reflect, relax or focus is also needed for continued energy.

When we need to, choosing ourselves over others isn’t selfish, but is self preservation. When we do get set back, feeling the pain, struggle or anxiety is part of being human and a lesson to learn from, so we can understand why. This understanding will help us to grow, and not to avoid the pain, which is a part of life. Life is busy. Life is hectic. We can use the challenges to grow.

—————————————————————————

Topics Discussed

Recognizing pain which will lead a path towards healing
Placing boundaries to safeguard mental health
Focusing on priorities rather than disappointment

We’re human an are programmed to want things in our life. Some people want happiness, others seek weight loss, better sleep, reducing stress, financial success or a healthy mindset. We yearn and it often consumes us. When we receive that which we so desperately seek, how do we react? Do we utilize gratitude? Many of us do, but is the gratitude expressed, proportionate to the intensity of the original yearning?

Everything in life is in degrees of frequency, duration, and intensity. Even healing is measured in these terms. We often look for absolutes. Am I completely healed? More often than not, complete healing is the end goal but not easily reached. Still, we are able to applaud our successes by the incremental and small changes of improvement by noticing and logging the frequency, duration, and intensity of our experiences over time.

As we all know, sharing can help others. We are here to support each other and to learn from each other. In mental health, Together is better.

—————————————————————————

Topics Discussed

Achieving Happiness despite conflicting emotions
Overcoming emotion by getting through it
Being grateful for receiving with the same intensity of original wanting

Jason Wasser is a healer therapist who practices the neuro-emotional technique. A licensed marriage and family therapist, he is one of only a few thousand licensed NET practitioners in the country and a mind-body integrative wellness specialist. His knowledge about the mind-body connection and how to move past traditional talk therapy through trauma muscle testing is extensive.

Jason has witnessed firsthand positive patient outcomes that he has facilitated through his use of the neuro-emotion technique for releasing physical pain rooted in emotional trauma. Giving us a rare inside look at the new research being done by Andrew Newberg on NET, he details the rigorous process of clinically validating these findings through FMRI scans and muscle testing.

Matana and Jason had a lot to unpack together, discussing traumas and their physiological effect. Jason details his “Home Run Formula” which touches on the four bases of mind-body wellness; removing toxins, assessing nutrition, repairing structural damage, and healing the mind.

He coaches his patients to focus on their core values and where in their life those core values were violated. He guides patients through the neuro-emotional technique by focusing on the beliefs associated with their emotional reality rather than specific traumatic events, accomplishing what traditional therapies take years to tackle.

As we all know, sharing can help others. We are here to support each other and to learn from each other. In mental health, Together is better.

What do you do when you are struggling with your mental health and you are not feeling supported by your family and friends the way you wish? This is a question that I am often asked and is a common concern in the mental health community. This is our last episode in our solo series where I am diving into my own story of healing which included, finding the right support.

I want to honestly share with you a perspective that you may have not considered when it comes to your loved ones. Sometimes it is difficult for those that are the closest to you to fully understand what you are going through. It can even be stressful because they may not have the language to support you the way they wish they could and they also might feel overwhelmed because they are carrying the weight of your struggles.

Although this may seem like an impossible situation with no clear solution, there is a practical approach that you can take that will not only help you find the support you need but also be a relief to the ones you love. Tune in today to hear how I found support outside of my friends and family and why I recommend that you do the same.

Speaking of support, we would LOVE to be a part of your community. Find us on Facebook, Hope to Recharge where we will lock arms with you and be a support when you need it the most. Because as always, together is better!

Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD (Dr. Eli Lebowitz)

Children with OCD and anxiety need their parents to understand that they feel terrified. They need their parents to express confidence in their ability to face their fears. What they don’t need is for their parents to do everything for them when they’re afraid because over time, they will need to learn how to deal with their fears when their parents aren’t around.

Dr. Lebowitz’s book, Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents, provides a roadmap for how parents can successfully guide their children to overcome their fears. The way parents accommodate their own OCD, severe anxiety or phobias can have an extremely negative impact on their children. Many people use rituals for years and do not seek therapy until they see what their habits are doing to their children.

The difference between a quirk and a disorder has to do with how much of a negative impact the particular way you want to do things has on your life.A child not attending school because of their fears, someone is unable to sleep or eat, behaviors which strongly affect relationships are generally examples of a disorder. Getting help with problems causing smaller amounts of distress will improve your current life and may prevent the quirks from developing into disorders

According to Dr. Lebowitz’s research, the best way to respond to a child who is experiencing anxiety is to first validate their experience and provide confidence. If your child is experiencing a full-blown panic attack, there’s not much to do, except wait it out and remain calm.

Children who grew up without any serious anxiety and suddenly develops a very intense fear, often had a traumatic experience that will require more support and a different kind of therapy. Try to become aware of periodic anxiety before they culminate into a larger event.

At the end of this episode, Matana continues her conversation asking Dr. Lebowitz personal questions of experiences in Matana’s life and with her children, and received priceless and life changing advice.

Quotes

“One child can suffer and a whole family could fall apart just because there’s not enough awareness of how to support that one child.” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“Parents, you’re like a mirror, and your child is looking in the mirror and they’re seeing who they are from your reactions, from your responses. And if what they see reflected back to them is a child who’s always weak, vulnerable, helpless, overwhelmed, can’t cope, can’t deal, what are they going to believe about themselves? Exactly. That’s right. They’re going to see themselves as unable to stand anxiety. And that is pretty much the worst thing for an anxious child to believe about themselves.” @MatanaJacobs @EliLebowitz #HopetoRecharge
“Here’s what I’ll say about [your kid having] panic attacks… Stay calm… When that plane is bumping around, you’re gripping the arm rest, and your knuckles are white and your belly is tightened – in that moment, you don’t want to look over at the flight crew and see them freaked out… You wanna see them being normal.” @MatanaJacobs @EliLebowitz #HopetoRecharge
“Panic attacks are not dangerous.” @MatanaJacobs @EliLebowitz #HopetoRecharge
“Your child is scared at night. So you sleep next to them. They feel better in that moment. Of course they do. But tomorrow, do they feel like they can handle being alone? No.” @MatanaJacobs @EliLebowitz #HopetoRecharge

In part 2 of our talk with Alana Shlagbaum, who is not a therapist, doctor or any kind of health expert but a preschool teacher from New Jersey, Matana shares her own personal story with Alana, of how miscarriage and living with chronic bleeding prevented her from becoming pregnant.

After having her first son, Matana went on birth control. During that time, she also lived with chronic feminine bleeding which got worse after her third child. Due to Jewish law, she was unable to physically be with her husband unless she had stopped bleeding and undergone ritual bathing, but her bleeding did not stop. Additionally, her mind and body did not respond well to the strong hormones she was taking.

She wanted to travel to a family event without bleeding, so she doubled my birth control that weekend, which put her into a full panic attack that kick-started her massive depression. After that, she dealt with several miscarriages and finally found an alternative hormonal birth control. She unknowingly got pregnant for her last time in my forties, Thank God without any issues, despite her intense fear. It had been a journey full of many tears, hard work, and much growth.

Many women suffer through challenges like these silently and alone. Both Matana and Alana want you to know that you’re not alone. There are other people out there with similar struggles and they both both made it through. There is real hope.

Our guest today is not a therapist, doctor or any kind of health expert but a preschool teacher from New Jersey. She talks about our personal experiences with infertility, miscarriage, and living with chronic bleeding conditions. Alana struggled for years without having anyone who understood what she was going through, so she is here to offer that support she never had to others.

Living with an uncommon condition is difficult enough when it’s known what i’s going on, but so many people are sick with difficult symptoms, and nobody can tell them why. Doctors are too often dismissive because they seem healthy and are told they do not need treatment unless they’re literally dying in that moment. Alana fought with the medical system for over seven years and only received a diagnosis after she had gotten a hysterectomy to end her suffering and her organs were analyzed. Before then, there was no one to explain why her body was not behaving in the expected way – why it was not keeping her babies alive and, as an Orthodox Jewish Woman, why it was forbidding her from spending time with her husband, according to Jewish law, by bleeding so many days of the month.

In part 2 of this episode, Matana briefly shares her story as well. Many women suffer through challenges like these silently and alone. Both Matana and Alana want you to know that you’re not alone. There are other people out there with similar struggles and they both both made it through. There is real hope.

Discovering true belonging is a gift. As humans, we crave belonging on both personal and communal levels. The feeling of being connected is a fundamental desire and we can learn to accept others who are different than we are by seeing and validating their choices made, based on their need to belong.

We often scold children for making choices we disagree with. Validating and showing empathy would likely accomplish greater results in improving our relationships, and the pressures that we have amongst our social structures often blind us to the needs of others.

Feeling discomfort from other people’s choices should not stop us from accepting them and accepting their choices, which were made by them, based on who they are – not who we are. Learning to accept others out of love is key to binding us all together in better, longer lasting and healthier relationships.

Communities often attempt to silence sexual conduct and misconduct and the associated secrecy and shame it fosters. Intentional secrecy surrounding sexual knowledge, sexual abuse and sexual addiction profoundly harms children and families in any community and especially one that is sincere and devout, such as Judaism. The Chasidic community in particular has an extreme level of secrecy to the degree that the word ‘pregnant’ is not said aloud, because it’s considered too sexual. Mordecai Salzberg, LCSW, is a sexual addiction therapist who works primarily with Chasidic Jews, and speaks about the havoc that this secrecy is wrecking.

The goal of this episode is not to attack any one particular community but rather to bring healthy and meaningful awareness for those affected by these topics and to make them informed that there is hope and healing possible with awareness, conversation and therapy and the experiences described come from years of Mordechai’s firsthand client interactions.

Shame from sexual abuse can begin at a young age. In a traditional Chassidic home, a child is commonly chastised and often made to feel ashamed about natural curiosity or asking questions about human biology. These children are often unaware that the topic is to be regarded as private and kept within their family until the moment they are scolded for bringing it up. Ill equipped and uneducated adults often respond with panic and shame, desperately trying to ensure that no one hears their child speak of “such things”. To make matters complex, parents have an intense fear of being thrown out of the community. There’s no margin for error. If something shameful is innocently spoken or if a major incident such as rape happens, most families attempt to hide it, to protect their place in the community. If a young boy discovers his own body and gets caught masturbating, deemed “the sin”, he could be publicly shamed by his family or mentors, without explanation.

Victims of sexual assault and abuse are often not provided with the tools to understand the difference between when they themselves do something wrong versus when someone has wronged them. They are shamed for speaking up and instructed not to speak of sinful things. Even when believed and validated, it is rare that anything significant happens to their abuser. The family downplays the event for fear of bringing shame to the community by admitting that someone amongst them could commit such heinous acts. Often, that same abuser continues to abuse without being brought to justice. Abusers are often trusted individuals such as school staff members or religious leaders. Being assaulted by a stranger from outside the community is rare. Sadly, every male client of Mordechai’s who struggles with sexual addiction was molested as a child. They often feel that they became “perverted” at a young age and “steeped in sinful desires” after an adult introduced them to sexual touch.

It is not uncommon for an accuser to get in more trouble than their abuser. Families gets angry at the individual who speaks up for causing a commotion. In the Chasidic Jewish Community, as in all groups, abuse is often only seen as a problem once made public. The family of the molester or pedophile will be shamed and the siblings will be considered ineligible for marriage matches. Although complex, children still deserve to be protected from molesters who should be brought to justice.

When a family does come to the community leaders with an abusive situation, it is uncommon to file charges or bring the perpetrator to justice. This misinterpretation of the Jewish legal concept of “moser” (informant), perpetuates the generational cycle of shame and abuse. Sometimes, a family will simply relocate, so as not to re-traumatize those who have been assaulted. Uneducated and without given therapy, these children are statistically likely to become abusers themselves.

At the end of this episode, Mordechai discusses two controversial topics which is available exclusively as premium content here: https://hopetorecharge.com/product/the-fatal-price-of-sexual-shame-and-secrecy-mordechai-salzberg-bonus-content/

We are human and are always evolving, growing and learning. Many times, we don’t communicate what we are feeling. We often neglect those close to us and lack the skills of how to effectively communicate. Sometimes, our biases feed our agenda and we take others for granted, not recognizing what they do for us or misdirect our mindset due to misunderstanding.

Thankfully, the human experience is fluid and allows us to learn from past mistakes to make improvements, which only stand to benefit us, for we are the recipient of our own growth. Matana shares lessons learned in her family relationships, with her husband and children, taking us on her journey from learning to correctly identify caring from those around her to appreciating those closest to us, who often get the least honorable mention.

Learning to listen in order to understand is a critical tool in self development and harnessing the power of silence when having a stressful conversation, can deescalate and the defuse the tension, allowing for understanding, healing, connection and growth.

Author Gary Sweeney, wrote a brilliant memoir about growing up with his great-grandparents’ support. His book, The Light of Other Days, shows us the positive person that his great-grandfather was in his life, rather than focusing on his abusive parents, teachers and others. The title’s intent is to focus on the good days that have been or will be, rather than the deep darkness of the present. Gary experienced depression and lives with anxiety and sensory processing issues. He has a talent for describing dealing with those struggles growing up. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lived through something similar or who has a child going through it.

Gary grew up attending Catholic School in Philadelphia. It was a fear-based culture where children were scared into obedience. Tormented with anxiety, he did not do well emotionally under that system. Many children experience this, and it becomes so overwhelming for some that they eventually kill themselves because they can’t deal with the terror and confusion of the way they’re being taught they must live. Those in authority threatened him with fire and brimstone, assuming Gary was acting out. They did not consider that his behavior might be coming from anxiety or overstimulation. Worse, his stepfather would tell him that “bad guys would going to come take him away in the night if he didn’t stop misbehaving”, and Gary wasn’t sure what he was doing wrong. No one validated his struggles except his great-grandfather. Anyone who perceived that he was feeling anxious would minimize his feelings, telling him to “stop feeling that way”.

At daycare, they had a designated nap time. All the other children would fall asleep on command, but Gary could not, and felt trapped on his floor mat. He described it as being stuck in quicksand. All the sounds happening nearby were blaring in his ears as he waited for it to be over. He had to find a way to cope, so he counted 60 seconds 30 times every day. That way, there was an end in sight, and he knew when it was.

Of the many things that Gary’s great-grandfather taught him or did for him, the most important lesson, was to be in the present. Gary doesn’t remember any gifts anyone gave him, but he remembers the places he went with his great-grandfather and the fun and positive feelings he has about the time they spent together. He learned how important it is for a child to have an authority figure who believes that their struggles are real, comforts them and doesn’t take advantage of their fears. His current life mission is to be there for his daughters.

Often, we confuse our excuses to be reasons and our reasons to be excuses. We are often certain that the excuse is really a defining reason for us, but we fear it because it might force us to work on something we really don’t want to, or face an issue we’d rather not deal with. if we really, truly want to change our lifestyle to move out of a rut, whether mental health, relationships, trying to attract more positivity in our lives, we need to ask the basic question, how much do we really want that change?

The amount that we want it is going to be the determining factor of how we will succeed. we will then be on a path moving forward, which can change and change again to something else and then does something else, but change is good. Staying stagnant isn’t.

Similar to like an onion that we have to peel and peel them with different channels, we keep getting deeper and deeper. Naomi Hope, friend who was interviewed previously, went through a crazy transformation in her life. Many crazy transformations. So many. She taught the idea a few years ago of “living alive”. We are entitled to down time, sad moments, anxiety, frustration, resentment and many other things, because we’re a work in progress until 120. Its critical to change a little bit of our habits, which turns into a lot of bit of our habits, our routines, our boundaries, and we are working now towards living more alive.

We certainly don’t enjoy the negativity, so why stay in it? Why not make that change? It all boils down to how much we really, truly want to change, and when we really are ready to change, we take that next step forward towards healing.

Are you ready to start moving forward?

Growing After Parental Hoarding (Margy Feldhuhn)

Gift of Light – 8 Private 1 on 1 Sessions with Matana

—————————————————————————

Margy’s father committed suicide and her struggle with his mental health symptoms didn’t end with his death. He was a hoarder. Margy, as his only child, was thrust into the role of going through her parents’ house after he passed. She was the one who had to hire help and a dumpster and motivate her mother to go through her belongings every single day until the house was cleaned out.

Margy provides us insight into the life of a hoarder by talking about her dad. Her father was funny. He was a successful self-employed lawyer and an animal lover. Margy never suspected he might choose to die by suicide. Many hoarders present well to the world with good personal hygiene and success at work and no one would ever know if they didn’t go to their house and see (and smell!) the nightmare.

What causes a person to become a hoarder? Margy’s observations suggest that it’s similar to alcoholism. There is an underlying trauma that has not been dealt with, which causes a person to make decisions every day that may not benefit them or their family. When a person hoards their emotional responses to triggers, those feelings manifest in other ways, such as hoarding behavior.

Margy is now the CEO of a company called Interview Connections. They work to connect business owners to podcasters so they can get their name out on shows. The way she moved up so quickly in business and brought it to 7 figures is astonishing. She attributes all her success to the hardest project she’s ever worked on, cleaning out her parents’ home.

Quotes

“My old life fell apart. And I created this new life that was so much more authentic that I had this much deeper understanding of myself.” @MargyFeldhuhn @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“What your environment looks like has such an impact on your mental health.” @MargyFeldhuhn @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“I believe that the majority of the world’s problems are just people with unprocessed trauma walking around.” People take that trauma out in different ways. @MargyFeldhuhn @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“Hoarders are just normal people… Everybody has something, everybody has some little weird thing that can get out of control… Look at your own life. There’s something that you do that you don’t love or you don’t feel fully in control of. And I think it’s no different.” @MargyFeldhuhn @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“A big part of hoarding is that hoarders don’t believe that they deserve better. They just don’t care because they don’t believe that they deserve to live in a clean, beautiful environment.” @MargyFeldhuhn @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

As the Holiday of Thanksgiving 2021 is upon us, we can harness its energy and message.

Gratitude is an essential gift for harnessing and focusing our innate power and allows us to grow and gift to others. Thanksgiving is a holiday that encompasses the idea into a concrete moment, allowing us to reflect on our blessings, recognize them and appreciate them.

Simply eating Turkey or celebrating with others will not make the emotion of gratitude last for any meaningful amount of time without taking the time to focus on our blessings and underscores the opportunity in front of us.

Although it may be difficult, taking the time to do the critically important work will allow us to reap the rewards of happiness and consistent daily practice will solidify the work done for a lifetime.

Chazkeinu: Past, Present & Future

You might know someone with mental illness. Maybe it’s you; maybe a family member or friend. But it is someone you wish to see get better. You’ve seen them suffer, even while in treatment. Perhaps you have suffered as well. You wish there was another way for them to find help and hope in the darkness. Chazkeinu was created to offer that additional support to Orthodox Jewish women living with mental illness. The safety and understanding offered by their peer groups has been transformative for not only the women seeking support but also their communities. Today, we speak to its founder about how they are working to end the stigma on mental illness, one woman at a time.

Zahava has been on our show twice before (in Episode 13 and Episode 138) talking about her life with bipolar. Today, she joins us with her husband to talk about where their nonprofit has come from and where they are going. The original goal of Chazkeinu was to create a family of (mostly Orthodox Jewish) women who live with mental illness and to remove the shame and stigma they live with because of it. In the last five years, they have grown support groups, added an emergency hotline, and lessened shame for the women, their families, and the entire Orthodox community.

They have developed phone, zoom, and in-person confidential support groups and opportunities for weekend gathering. Their work has lessened mental health stigma in the Orthodox community at large by giving women a safe space to talk openly about what they are going through. Peer support has been proven to provide another level of healing that professionals simply cannot offer. “Peer” doesn’t mean the women are all the same. Each peer group is full of women of all different ages and experiences.

One unique aspect of women’s care at Chazkeinu is to support those who support them. Husbands, children, and other family members, friends, and caregivers have access to listening ears and peer groups as they learn how to best care for their loved one with mental illness. Educating and listening to support givers is essential for the improvement of the women’s mental state. Guiding support givers to end the stigma in their own minds strengthens the healing journey for themselves and for the loved one they care for.

Zahava and her husband cannot (and do not) do it alone. They need more people on their team. There are many reasons they require support. Not only are they continuing their current work and adding new clients to it, they hope to someday have the ability to give a care package to each of their clients and to build a “chill house” in cities across the globe where clients can come and find refuge from the world. They want to be able to organize and run as the growing non-profit that they are, which will require additional staff, tools, and general finances. Zahava and her husband need strong support to be able to care for their clients well. Join them today by sharing their story or donating financially. You can be a part of saving and improving the lives of individual women and of their communities.

Fixing Broken After Trauma (Joe Brikman)

Joe Brikman joins us to share with us how he has come to thrive, despite adversity. As a boy, he was sexually abused by a female babysitter and at the age of 12, shortly after he told his parents, his father was diagnosed with cancer. Joe was sent off to a boarding school where, no matter his accomplishments, it seemed he could never live up to their strict expectations. This, combined with the flashbacks and issues he was dealing with, made him feel hopeless, and he attempted suicide on his 14th birthday.

After repeated negative experiences, Joe adopted a negative outlook on life, himself and his own abilities. He began expecting things to go poorly, and they did. To combat this, Joe went through years of EMDR and other therapies to deal with his trauma, but he still suffers from depression. He has learned ways of predicting and coping with episodes of depression.

In every realm of life, mental health, business, relationships or others, the tool to accomplish our goals is consistency. If we put a structure in place when feeling great, follow the plan even when we feel awful. If we feel that we are failing, change our definition of that word. In business, failure isn’t not closing a deal. Failure would be, not following through with our plan to make 5 phone calls every day. Failure would be, not being willing to learn from our mistakes. Failure is, not trying something different when what we’re doing isn’t working. We can’t succeed if we give up.

If we aren’t living authentically, we aren’t giving the world what we actually have to offer, and the world will be missing out on who we were really created to be. When I choose my priorities carefully and somebody feels neglected, instead of apologizing to them for not calling them back immediately, I place a positive focus by thanking them for having patience as they wait to hear from me. When an apology is needed for something done that wasn’t intentionally malicious, we can find ways to thank that other person, and bring positivity into the situation instead of focusing on the negative and downplaying my good decision.

Year One: Documenting Postpartum Depression (Erin Bagwell)

Today’s episode is about a very special and difficult topic that is a struggle for me to talk about. When I heard Erin Bagwell share her perspective on her experience with Postpartum Depression (PPD), I knew I had to have her on the show. In this powerful and raw episode, we discuss our own experiences with mental health in early motherhood and what new moms often go through.

All emotions are valid in motherhood. People make it seem that joy is the only acceptable option. Motherhood is hard. No one tells pregnant people that it’s not all going to be sunshine. It will be stressful. Mothers often feel strong bouts of fear, sorrow, rage, helplessness, loneliness and other difficult emotions. Many struggle to connect with their babies. There is a spoken and unspoken expectation that they will love every minute, leading them to feel that they aren’t allowed to be honest and reach out for support. Those with Postpartum Depression often deal with even more serious, threatening feelings such as the desire to kill themselves or their baby.

Making your own choices is valid. Neither Erin nor I had a positive experience with breastfeeding. We felt we were expected to do it, but it did not go well. I came to the conclusion that if possible, breast is best, but really, a healthy mom is what’s truly best. A Baby needs to be able to bond with Mom, and it is harder to do so when Mom is suffering from extreme anxiety or depression. If breastfeeding is causing that, logic says it is best not to breastfeed.

Erin has just released a new film documentary about her journey through Postpartum Depression: Year One. She began creating the film before she even realized she was dealing with PPD. She was mad that no one had warned her how hard motherhood would be, and wanted to personally process what was going on with her and her daughter. It turned into a much bigger project, one that we can all now view and share (free) on social media. If you have dealt with Postpartum Depression, know someone who has, or just need a new perspective about the struggles of early motherhood, you definitely should watch this film.

“It also felt like it had nothing to do with my little girl. My love for her was there, but it was hard to figure out how to express and how to make a life together.” @ErinBagwell @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“Don’t be thinking it’s Postpartum [Depression] just because you’re having a hard beginning. Most beginnings are hard, and no one talks about it.” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

The Power of Affirmations (Bob Baker)

Bob Baker has been my virtual mentor for years. I have never actually met him before, but every morning, I listen to his podcast and let him guide me in speaking affirmations over my life. He is here today to share with us his own journey to embracing affirmations. Positivity had such a huge impact on my own healing, and Bob plays a big part in keeping that going in my daily life.

Despite what you might think because of his current gregariousness and big personality, Bob was actually quite shy and insecure as a teen. His junior year of high school, his good friend handed him a book by Wayne Dyre called Your Erroneous Zones. This book opened his eyes to a new world of possibilities. Suddenly, he realized: he could control his own destiny by choosing positive thoughts. He learned that thoughts influence emotions, which influence actions, which influence the direction a life can go. From there, Bob explored meditation, positivity, and spirituality. He saw success in his career and became a coach to other aspiring entertainers. He started a YouTube channel with all kinds of content and found his affirmation videos to be the most popular, so that has become his focus, and he just published a book about it.

Bob explained to me why affirmations work. Whatever you allow to be a consistent part of your thinking, that is what you will see in the world. It’s like when you get a new car and you start to notice everyone around you who is driving the same type. It wasn’t in your consciousness before, so you didn’t see it. If you purposely put positivity into your consciousness, you will begin to see it everywhere. That is why you should speak positive words over your day.

What do you do when you don’t believe anything positive? Is it all a lie? One suggestion is to reword the affirmation so it is true for you. So, instead of saying, “I am a millionaire,” you can change it to, “I am open and receptive to new streams of income coming into my life.” And when you start your day anticipating new ways of making money, you will see the possibilities around you as possible instead of just dismissing them as impossible. Can’t figure out how to be grateful? Try saying, “I’m open to the idea of understanding gratitude.” If that’s not working for you, either give that affirmation a break and find an easier one, or double down and tell yourself the positive thought repeatedly until you believe it.

The most important strategy in having affirmations change your life is consistency. Do them every day. Believe they are possible, even when you can’t see how to get there. Don’t give up. Keep saying them over your life until they manifest because you have been open to their truth.

Through this journey of leading people to positive thinking, Bob has accidentally built an online family full of encouragement for its members who are, for the most part, not receiving positivity from their in-person communities.

Borderline Personality Disorder: The Road After Discovery (Debbie DeMarco Bennett)

admin — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 16:09:50 +0000

Today’s episode of Hope to Recharge is sponsored by Emotionallysensitive.com

Emotionallysensitive.com offers entirely online DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) skills classes for those who experience intense or dysregulated emotions. Our psychoeducational courses are taught by our founder, a peer in recovery from borderline personality disorder, and a licensed DBT-trained psychotherapist. Learning and practicing DBT skills can help create balance within us as well as in our relationships of all kinds (family, friends, workplace, romantic, etc..), and help those of us with intense emotions — whether it’s from borderline personality disorder, bipolar, PTSD, anxiety, or other reasons, to create the lives we want and deserve. Enrollment opens soon. Sign up now at www.emotionallysensitive.com

—————————————————————————

In 2010, Debbie DeMarco Bennett learned that she had borderline personality disorder, (BPD) was in and out of psychiatric hospitalizations, frequently threatening suicide, unable to keep a job and her relationships were very hot and very cold. Having grown up in the foster care system and being placed in group homes, she worked with her psychiatrist and therapist at the health organization Kaiser, where she received her diagnosis of BPD. Her psychiatrist introduced her to Dialectical Behavior Therapy, (DBT), and after she enrolled into treatment, she realized that she was not crazy, but rather, was just someone who felt deeply, intensely, and never really learned how to manage, when difficulty surfaced.

DBT is a set of skills that helps people who have difficulty regulating their emotions to be able to learn how to do things in ways that allow them to create what is known as a life worth living and learning how to tolerate distress. It comprises different tools to accomplish this, including a large component of mindfulness, and is geared especially for those that have complex trauma and have difficulty regulating their emotions

After 2 years, Debbie was technically classified as “in recovery” and continued the process of rebuilding herself. Debbie discusses her early years in Episode 152 found here: hopetorecharge.com/episode/borderline-personality-disorder-the-road-to-recovery-debbie-demarco-bennett, which is fascinating.

She continued attending DBT for another 5 years and was able to maintain her friendship with someone with whom she had been in a relationship for 10 years. As a milestone, they proudly just celebrated their 20 years of friendship. During her years working with DBT, she felt confident in her ability to heal and was certain that she would find the right person, even setting the table for 2 when she’d make dinner alone, thinking how one day, she won’t be eating alone. Debbie attributes her ability to effectively communicate to the BPD skills she mastered.

While going to DBT groups, taking notes and documenting every word of Dr. Marsha Linehan, knowing that healing comes in community, that sharing and realizing you’re not alone and supporting each other, she started a DBT program, despite working a job. Although the initial turnout was low, Debbie pushed forward and as DBT awareness grew, albeit through Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga speaking publicly about it, Debbie started an online platform, Emotionallysensitive.com. Today, there are students in 44 countries ranging in age from 15 to 80. Enrolled students participate in 12 week-long modules with weekly lecture-style classes, zoom workshops that include mindfulness, DBT skills discussions and somatics. Student have access to a variety of additional resource material, receive guidance from the DBT Path Team and connect with other sharing students in a forum supervised with compassion by a moderator, all with privacy, set boundaries, and guidelines.

Emotionallysensitive.com doesn’t just offer sympathy, empathy and understanding through years of experience. It allows students to share and rebuild using the power of the community and acquire DBT skills for life. It isn’t uncommon for new students filled with despair and pain to lash out personally at Debbie, but she often gets apology emails as those students grow and practice their new DBT skills, as time moves on. Debbie often refers partners, parents, siblings and children of those suffering from BPD to psychotherapist Amanda Smith at hopeforbpd.com who runs online groups to help them cope with those stresses and to learn the “language” of BPD.

Debbie’s intention, is that people who have been suffering with BPD, who have been cast aside, disregarded or feared, or that people just didn’t know how to support them, are clearly feeling seen, heard, loved and supported in the community.

Is DBT right for you? Let us know! We’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.

In this powerful solo episode, we hear a story of a daughter’s disappointment and how her mother makes space for that pain, with love and without judgement. Matana tells us how her daughter so badly wanted to travel abroad for a family wedding but due to covid travel restrictions, was unable to. Like so many facing mild or severe disappointments, regardless of the level of challenge, being there to help another person in pain can be daunting.

Simply holding space for them, allows a feeling of empathy to unfold and can help sooth a broken heart. The knowledge that they are not alone can provide comfort and avoid long term trauma by having a guilt free listening ear to help them feel they are not alone in their struggle.

Asking a child or loved one what’s wrong isn’t being invasive. When done in earnest, without judgement or rebuke and when coming from a wellspring of kindness and love, it allows them to share their feelings in a safe place, not only creating a long and strong bond of friendship and trust.

Most of us yearn for a listening ear not only to empathize but to help relieve the burden that at times, weigh heavily on us. Role modeling empathy to our children is an excellent method of training the next generation to be kinder humans and ultimately, makes us better too.

For the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I had the privilege of interviewing one of the few people who were inside the building and survived the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. Ari Schonbrun worked on the 101st floor in the accounts receivables department of a stock market firm. Of their 960 employees in that office, only 302 survived. Most of those who lived were not in the office that day.

Listen to hear his incredible story of why he got to work late that day, the events that transpired on the 78th floor, how he got out of the building, what his journey home across the city was like after he escaped, and how his life has changed now since it happened.

Today, Ari has pulled out of the corporate world and is now solely focused on motivational speaking, life coaching, and growing his podcast, Whispers and Bricks. The name of his show comes from the idea that God is always trying to guide his children with whispers. He’s always there, whispering in our ears, but when we’re not willing to listen, he often resorts to hitting us over the head with a brick. Ari sees 9/11 as a brick in his life. And it changed everything.

We asked Dr. Kobernick to come back (her first episode is here: https://hopetorecharge.com/episode/dialectical-behavior-therapy-dr-chaya-lieba-kobernick/) because I have been getting tons of questions about Radical Acceptance, which is a building block of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I’ve also noticed that our most popular episodes have been those about BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and DBT so, I knew we needed an expert to come in and talk about it some more.

Radical acceptance is the most difficult skill to master in DBT. Normally, the best way to go about it is to start with small, immediate problems like burnt food or missing the bus. Once you are able to accept inconveniences like those, you can start working on accepting the more difficult parts of life like trauma or illness.

‘Dialectical’ means that there are two things in opposition to each other that simultaneously exist. The major dialectic in DBT is acceptance and change. We can both fully accept the way things are right now and work toward changing ourselves and our situation for a better future, but the acceptance part is not done in order to bring about change. It is done for the parts of life that we cannot necessarily change the outcome ourselves, at least not in this very moment, and we need to accept this moment.

Everyone experiences pain. It is inevitable. Suffering, however, is not. When we choose to accept our pain, we can experience freedom instead of suffering. Fighting against what’s happening and focusing on how unfair and unjust it is only leads to misery. We can be sad about our current situation and grieve loss and still accept that it is reality. You’ll know you have accepted a situation when you stop fighting for reality to be different or hiding from what’s happening. Radical acceptance is almost never a one-time decision. After you have chosen to accept something in your reality, you will be reminded of the difficulty of it again and again, and you must choose to accept it every time. It should gradually get easier for each problem.

To experience less distress, we need to realize that all emotions are welcome and needed in life. They serve different purposes. Happiness or bliss should not be one’s goal. A happier life includes every emotion at its proper time. The goal of DBT is to build a life worth living, not to feel only happiness.

Dr. Kobernick works with teens who have multiple problems and need the support of full DBT treatment. Teen treatment always includes family members because it is almost impossible for a kid to implement the changes needed in their life without the whole family system cooperating or at least one advocate being in the home with them. She works with the kid alone, the kid with their family, and the family alone in order to provide the best support possible.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Dummies (Drs. Galen and Aguirre)

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 22:58:23 +0000

Today’s episode of Hope to Recharge is sponsored by DBT Path

DBT Path offers entirely online DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) skills classes for those who experience intense or dysregulated emotions. Our psychoeducational courses are taught by our founder, a peer in recovery from borderline personality disorder, and a licensed DBT-trained psychotherapist. Learning and practicing DBT skills can help create balance within us as well as in our relationships of all kinds (family, friends, workplace, romantic, etc..), and help those of us with intense emotions — whether it’s from borderline personality disorder, bipolar, PTSD, anxiety, or other reasons, to create the lives we want and deserve. Enrollment opens soon. Sign up now at www.emotionallysensitive.com

—————————————————————————

Two experts in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Drs. Galen and Aguirre, have just released a new book called DBT for Dummies. They are experts in explaining this to average people with no background in psychology. Together, we explore one of the basic tenets of DBT: radical acceptance. I tell clients about this practice all the time, and there’s always so many questions about how it works.

Dr. Aguirre shares with me his journey of embracing DBT. He was realizing that he would help his friends or himself feel better in different ways than he would help his clients, and the inconsistency didn’t make sense. The first day he first experienced DBT mindfulness by observing a raisin in his mouth was eye-opening, and as he explored more, he found DBT provided a logic that he had not found other places. He and his colleagues have been amazed to see the transformation in the lives of young DBT clients who have found no hope or help anywhere else. Kids who were once in constant emotional distress and wanting to die have learned how to cope with suffering. Families have learned how to support them and cope with their struggles themselves.

Dr. Galen breaks down the process of radical acceptance for us. It starts with acknowledging the reality of our current moment. Once we can accept the facts about our situation, we can begin to pinpoint what is causing problems and come up with solutions for our pain or take steps toward a goal that we have been too afraid to pursue. Accepting what is means releasing what isn’t (usually, a hope, belief, or relationship). This is often quite difficult and leads people to avoid the entire situation rather than embrace and grow from it. Another hiccup is that even after we have accepted something in this moment, we will get triggered into non-acceptance again later by a memory. And when that happens, we must start the process over again. But hopefully, it will be easier after the first time.

Almost every person who is learning this concept asks, “But how can I accept that my future is bleak??” That is not what radical acceptance is about. You cannot accept a future that hasn’t happened yet. Anything in the future is simply a fictional story. One of the most important ideas to understand is that we can only accept now. We also cannot change the past. We can only accept the present it has led us to. If we’re worried about a bleak future, the best thing we can do is live in the present and make choices that will hopefully turn our future towards where we want to go. And if we must tell stories about the future, why not positive ones? Negative stories so often lead to self-fulfilling prophecies of doom.

Quotes

“You can’t accept a future that hasn’t happened because it hasn’t happened. So all we can do is accept the very moment that we’re in.” @GillianGalen @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“It’s very difficult to accept things that you don’t like, but the reality of it doesn’t change. Whether you like something or not.” @BlaiseAguirre @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“The person that I become in non-acceptance is not the person who I want to be. He’s not the person who’s going to be helpful to my family, to my friends, to my patients, to my loved ones. Because if I lose a child and now I am angry, you know what? I’ve lost more than one child. I’ve lost my relationships. I’ve lost my friends.” @BlaiseAguirre @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“There’s tension there. I can disagree with something. I can think that it’s unfair because it might be unfair. And I can accept it so that… I’m not lost too.” @GillianGalen @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“[People think] if I accept it, I agree with it. No, no, no. They’re two totally separate things. I can be grateful and I can be in pain. It means a practice in dialectical thinking.” @GillianGalen @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

Two years ago, I talked to Dr. Jen about preparing for crises on this episode. About a year after that, Jen met the love of her life while in the midst of a very sudden, very public breakup. Today, she joins me from their honeymoon to speak about her healing journey.

Jen shares how her close friends, family and even her own body had been trying to alert her to the unhealthiness of her romantic relationship, but she had not been willing to listen. Even when her intuition said something was not right, she could not find a logical reason to feel that way, so she stayed. She kept hoping it would turn out like she dreamed. It wasn’t until after the relationship ended that she realized most of the problems they were having stemmed from differing core values. It wasn’t that either one of them was a good or bad person at the fundamental level.

I asked Jen specifically here today to share with us her secret to not blaming the other person in a broken relationship and not focusing on explaining what they did to cause this pain; but rather to own your own story and keep moving towards healing. The most important thing to realize is, “This has nothing to do with me. This is their story. Those were their choices. And now, I get to choose how I respond to them. And I will act within my core values, even if the other person went totally against them.”

Jen was also able to recognize that just because one person had made choices that didn’t align with her values and had hurt her very deeply didn’t mean that everyone in the world would do the same. If she was able to live by her values, that meant that someone else out of 7 billion must be able to live by those values as well. She could find someone different who was actually a good match for her; there was no need to settle for someone who would not connect to her at the core.

Jen met her new man dancing at a club at a physical therapy conference. They connected quickly. He has been able to recognize that when she is triggered, it has nothing to do with him. He can focus on supporting her instead of being hurt by her hurt. They are both coming into this relationship knowing that neither of them is perfect, and they need to be willing to work through their frustrating times. Rather than follow conventional wisdom, Jen chose to go into this new relationship with authenticity and honesty. Together, they have quickly bonded and built a business in the midst of a chaotic year.

One therapist Jen worked with, encouraged “anger expression”. In an exercise, women were able to acknowledge and express how angry they were feeling and say all the angry words they wished they could say to the person that hurt them. It’s not about hurting the other person or getting revenge; it’s about releasing and expressing one’s emotion. Anger isn’t necessarily a bad emotion; it’s what we do with it that matters. Bottling it up doesn’t help because it is a deep feeling that is there for a reason, and using it to hurt others or focusing on it in a way that drags you down is not good for anyone. The negative energy needs to be released to make space for the positive.

Quotes:

“I see this beacon of light sometimes that shimmers. And so I know it’s possible that we could get to this beautiful relationship that I know I would feel so good about. And we hold onto that, that possibility rather than seeing the reality of what it is in front of us.” @DrJenEsquire @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“No one ever listened to me and we were just clashing and it was so painful because I just didn’t feel a belonging and a lot of, and I always say this that if relationships would see that [their core values are clashing] before it comes tumbling down there wouldn’t be so much hate and resentment and pain.” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“…not by blaming, but by owning and moving forward from healing” @DrJenEsquire @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“We’re still both open to holding this space for each other to do the work. That’s what’s so important– knowing that we’re coming into a relationship not perfect; we’re coming into a place that we both have work to do.” @DrJenEsquire @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge #HopetoRecharge

We had to bring Naomi back because so many of you reached out asking for more from her! She left us with so many questions after our first episode together. If you haven’t listened to that episode yet, do!! This one will not make much sense if you don’t.

Naomi’s original motivators to lose weight did not work in the long term. This was partly because they were all about avoiding something negative, not about gaining a positive (“I want to lose weight so I won’t be judged by strangers” vs “I want to lose weight so I can run around with my children”). The people surrounding her encouraged her to change focus. She calls these people her “team.” This includes not only her friends, colleagues, and family but also podcasters whom she listens to and authors she reads regularly, but has never met.

Naomi has developed many new habits over the last three years. The only way she has been successful in any of them is that she made one small change at a time and committed to being consistent at it for a few weeks before adding anything else. And as she saw the benefits of those commitments, they became easier to stick to because she knows how they positively affect her life and the life of her community.

Instead of getting caught up in how hard a practice is to do, she focuses on how good it will be to have accomplished it. Our bodies are capable of more than we often give them credit for. If we don’t have a medical condition or disability, there’s no reason we can’t accomplish the same feats someone else has. Even if you do have limitations, there’s often a way around the obstacles. We just have to tell our bodies it is possible. The important thing to remember in all of this is that we always have a choice. We can choose to see what’s positive in our situation. We can choose to accomplish our goals. We can choose to step away from negative influences.

A powerful practice Naomi implements is declaring her desires as if they have already come to fruition. Every day, she says them to herself in the mirror. If she has a more short-term goal, she will write it out and say it 50 times every day for up to five days until it becomes her reality. So far, she’s never done this with something that hasn’t happened. It is important to select realistic goals for this practice. Don’t set yourself up for failure. Break up huge goals into smaller steps and do this for each one.

Everyone’s path to health looks different. A positive mindset is essential for whatever goals or desires we are chasing, but the practices, communities, and medical interventions we use to embrace positivity and reach our destinations will differ from person to person. We each must give different methods a chance until we find what leads us to peace and health.

There has been a lot of talk on social media about the Netflix show My Unorthodox Life these last couple weeks, and it has brought up a lot of different emotions for me. I thought I had healed from my upbringing, but I have found that I am still broken. After listening to others express their feelings for several days, I wanted to share how it has made me feel and what I have learned from this experience.

My authentic self doesn’t necessarily fit anywhere. I felt attacked by both sides of the argument because I follow Orthodox Judaism, but I don’t always hold up the traditions or view things as expected. There is a tremendous price to pay for living your authentic self in a community where you are rebuked for even thinking differently from the standard. But the price you pay for abandoning your authentic self is even greater than the risk of losing your community.

These last couple weeks brought up a lot of hurt from the past and made me feel threatened all over again, but it also emphasized what a great community I have built as my authentic self of people who will listen to me without judging and offer their support. I am so grateful to those that have been helping me process this pain. My emotions emphasized the ways I might be judging and hurting others. The things I was hurt by are a good indicator of how I cause pain, and I have begun to work through how I can do better. How can I have compassion towards all these people who are reacting out of fear?

If we can go through life and not judge others, but listen to understand, maybe our world can become a more accepting place. If we each make an effort to not suffocate our own authentic selves or those around us, perhaps people will feel less afraid. We each must try to be the person others feel comfortable sharing their deepest feelings and thoughts with, even if those thoughts do not agree with what is true for us personally.

Improving Mental Health With Intuitive Eating (Gila Glassberg)

What is intuitive eating and what is the mindset behind intuitive eating? What’s the difference between a registered dietician and a nutritionist? Gila Glassberg, an MS, RDN, CDN, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, answers these questions and more.

Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, developed a system called intuitive eating which consists of 10 steps. People placed on what they’d call “sensible meal plans” are really diets. What they found was that people would inevitably, they would lose the weight, but they would inevitably gain back the weight within a few months or a few years and they were feeling really frustrated. In fact, most people who lose weight on a diet, gain it back within the first five years.

With intuitive eating, you eventually do want to focus on nutrition and what’s called joyful movement, which is finding the movement that feels right to you, without feeling restricted. The first principle of intuitive eating is called rejecting the diet mentality. Another is honoring your hunger. Gila walks us through the steps and tools on how to be aware to choose the foods that are good for us and feel good about the choices we are making to help us and navigate through life.

Intuitive eating is good for our mental state, our physical state, our relationships, our emotional well being and so much more which goes from the inside out and puts out all kinds of fires.

Positive Mindset Affects Our Physical Health (Naomi Pelled)

My new friend Naomi shares with us the story of how she lost half her body weight. At her heaviest, she was nearly 340 pounds, but today, she weighs about 160. She is active and able to keep up with her five-year-old twin boys, something she could not do when they were two. After struggling with her weight for her entire life, dealing with thyroid issues, and a period of infertility, Naomi has come to a place where she feels healthy and whole.

Naomi said something to me that blew my mind. I mentioned that what we choose to put into our bodies and how we exercise will affect our mental health. She replied back to me saying, “and vice versa.” which is truly paramount and so true. When we feel emotionally low or having a “bad” day, we often mistreat our bodies due to our unfocused mindset. If the chemicals in our brain are not balanced, our bodies actually process foods differently. As strange as it sounds, if you’re having a bad day and eat some chocolate, you’re likely to gain more weight than you would if you ate that very same chocolate as a happy treat on a “good” day.

Naomi also shared her morning routine with me, starting at 4:30 each morning and she watches this gratitude practice with Tony Robbins. She then listens to and repeats 100 affirmations. She journals and reads before exercising for a half hour, plus a walk if her family is still asleep. After the kids get off to school, Naomi drinks 2 liters of water and takes her supplements. She doesn’t eat anything until some oatmeal or a smoothie at 11am. She makes sure to eat plenty of vegetables and protein and to drink lots of water, every day, with no excuses. Even during government imposed lock down due to Corona Virus restrictions, Naomi found a way to walk a 5k indoors. Each day starts with boosting her mental health and getting her in a positive mindset before she even tries to take care of her physical body or any other member of her family.

The Body-Mind Connection (Atara Weisberger)

Atara Weisberger is an expert on the connection between our mental and physical health. She coaches people to improve their lives through nutrition and movement. She shares her experience with coaching health and wellness, how to recognize and choose to change negative habits, and the mental health benefits of a good diet and exercise.

Atara helped me with my own struggle to eat healthy food before dinnertime, asking what values were driving my desire to stop eating cake in the afternoons. I know how interconnected physical and mental health are, and I need to make good choices for both in order to feel my best overall. I know there are long-term implications of poor daily choices, and I want to help my future self thrive, as I work to give my family the best at dinner every night. She suggested I change my mindset, so that I don’t feel obligated to give up the foods that bring me so much joy, but choose instead to add something which I know will make my body feel good, versus the yummy snack that I enjoy more.

Everything in our bodies, including our minds, is intertwined. Nutritious food provides us with energy and the ability to focus so that we can accomplish what we need to. Exercise has been proven to release hormones in the brain that make us feel good emotionally. Yet, when someone is feeling unhappy, the current model tells doctors to immediately prescribe them strong medications before providing them with strategies to solve the issue with their own body. Why don’t they prescribe a trial of an exercise regimen for 30 days the same way they do with drugs?

It is possible to eat a safe and healthy diet while on a budget and there are certain foods that do not need to be purchased organically. There are even foods that should just be avoided altogether. For a little homework, search for the lists she discusses in this eye opening episode to find out which foods have the most chemicals.

Quotes:

”Mental illness and wellness and the interchange between them, we’ve kind of created these artificial boundaries as if they’re separate. And the reality is, there’s nothing in us that is separate.” @AtaraWeisberger @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“What you want to ask yourself is why: Why is that important to me? And the why becomes your anchor. Because if you just layer a behavior on top of the rest of your life, then any small thing that comes along can just kind of knock it off, whatever your goals are, if they’re sitting on that surface level of just, I think, or I should.” @AtaraWeisberger @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“It’s funny when clients will be like, just tell me what to do. And I always say to them, I like lean in and I’m like, how does that usually work out for you? When somebody tells you what to do? How does that work out?” @AtaraWeisberger @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“When you go to a 12 step program, like Alcoholics Anonymous, for example, they’re always calling you in recovery, even if you’ve been dry for 20 years. Why? Because that habit pattern is still there. It doesn’t really go away. We’re just trying to develop parallel tracks to that, and then be aware that that track is over there, but we’re going to choose this track instead.” @AtaraWeisberger @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

The power of manifesting one’s dreams, goals and hopes into reality isn’t magic. Its a power. So powerful is this gift, called the Law of Attraction that we receive from God, which we all have, that we can receive abundance and blessings to move forward on our paths of want. What we want can be manifested into reality and tapping into this power requires a few simple steps.

One must first realize that we all possess this God given, God created ability, which is as real as the force of gravity. Sometimes, God only gifts our wishes to us when he believes that we are ready. Sometimes, he gifts us with so much better. But we are always in the position of asking, visualizing and living with a more open heart.

We also must identify what we actually want. Focus on it, think of it as if it is real. See the details in your mind’s eye.

Finally, we must also be passionate about it. Let it consume us in a healthy way and the pathways will open. First a trickle, then a stream, and then the floodgates will open. This energy is real.

We often call the moments we become aware our wishes have been fulfilled miracles. And they are. Join us in hearing a personal event from Matana’s life, highlighting this amazing power.

Feeding the Body to Fuel the Mind (Nilli Grutman)

We asked nutritionist, biochemist, and holistic health expert Nilli Grutman to talk a bit about the link between our physical health, mental health, and nutrition. She shared with us her philosophy about nutrition and how to approach eating well with an energy of giving rather than an energy of withholding.

Nilli has spent the past seven years healing and guiding people with holistic nutrition. She seeks to restore her clients to a state of wellness by exploring the physical causes behind emotional imbalance. She detailed her process for us, starting with identifying hormone and neurochemical imbalances through advanced testing and ending with a love-filled approach to fueling our bodies.

Her lesson for us today included an explanation of the four primary neurochemicals at work in our minds, how to identify an imbalance, and how to approach solving that imbalance. She outlined how she crafts each person’s path to wellness by blending wholesome nutrition and eating mindfully.

We hope this conversation will give you the tools to examine your relationship with eating and how it can impact your overall health. Holistic nutrition is not just a fix for a problem, but a part of every person’s total wellness!

Sometime, we are beset with fear, panic, anxiety, unhappiness or other negative feelings. In this episode, Matana explains how mindset and proper preconditioning can offset negative emotions, but still hold on to them, in the right way.

Learning that a teen who blossoms into an adult will be off to higher education away from home can be daunting and downright sad. Learning to cope with a family member who moves on to new things is exciting, and a thing of joy, but can also be laden with mixed emotions of sadness at leaving the presence of a family staple.

We learn a new twist on a previously discussed idea, of how to not ignore those mixed, opposite feelings, but to embrace them and allow them to coexist.

Matana also sheds a little more detail on the upcoming private gratefulness retreat that she will be hosting for a small group of hand selected individuals, another milestone she set years ago, of which more details will follow in the coming weeks and months ahead.

As Matana celebrates a two year milestone and wishes a Happy Birthday to the Hope to Recharge podcast, she gives gratitude to those instrumental in those who offered support and guidance in its creation. Although the microphone for the podcast was purchased many many months prior, she couldn’t get the first step in opening the box and it laid on the side for some time. Through perseverance and hand holding, she took that initial step to open the box, despite her fears, anxiety and doubt.

This episode is a must for those hesitant to take the initial steps to accomplishing goals as there is truly nothing to fear but fear itself.

Matana also announces an upcoming private gratefulness retreat that she will be hosting for a small group of hand selected individuals, another milestone she set years ago, of which more details will follow in the coming weeks and months ahead.

Finding Fulfillment with Core Values (Dr. John Demartini)

Dr. John Demartini’s books and podcasts taught me a tremendous amount about the law of attraction and living with gratefulness and changed how I view life. He shares his insight on the topic of core values, which are the vales that are most important to each of us. For some, this is learning or respecting others’ time or not being wasteful. For others, it may be teaching, being present in the moment, generosity or spontaneous fun. Each person has a different set of core values as life is not black and white and there are many shades of gray and colors. Besides most universally accepted divine laws such as, “Murder is bad,” there are no universal values, as everyone has a different focus which they bring to the table.

Many people do not know what their core values actually are and Dr. Demartini has developed an assessment tool (https://drdemartini.com/values/) that helps people understand what will bring them the most fulfillment in life. This assessment is based on our current actions and “thought” life. We run our lives according to values, whether we perceive it or not. Each decision we make, requires us to prioritize. When we choose one value, we ignore another. What we actually choose to do from our limited resources of time, energy, and money, indicates what we value most. Sometimes, we find that which we actually value is not what we or others hoped it to be, but if we embrace what our true values are, we can become the person we’re truly meant to be.

Dr. Demartini has worked with many parents to assess what is “wrong” with their children. Why aren’t they being successful? Why can’t they live up to expectations? Dr. Demartini has found that often, the problem is not that the child is being lazy or defiant, but that they are frustrated by not being allowed to live according to their core values. What they might need is someone to come talk to them and understand what matters to them on the deepest level. Parents and children can then work together to establish goals and set up a plan that makes sense to the child at their core, making them feel respected and free to live uniquely, as they were created to do.

We also discussed what it means when we feel negative emotions and what that tell us about ourselves and about the people around us. If our anger is triggered, that is often a good indicator that what is happening goes against our values, giving us an opportunity to learn about the values of those who upset us. They are likely acting according to their own values, and we can learn more about what those values are by what they’ve said or done.

Identifying Core Values for Self Awareness (Dr. Karin Anderson Abrell)

Today’s episode of Hope to Recharge is sponsored by https://Betterhelp.com/hopetorecharge.

Dr. Karin Anderson Abrell shares her story of choosing to let her core values lead her life, even when others don’t understand. She was unwed until her 40’s because she would not settle for a marriage that did not align with her values. Because of this experience, much of her work has been about helping others thrive as a single person.

Our decisions and feelings are based on values. We need to understand our core values before we can begin the work of changing our thoughts and our mindset because values are the foundation for our thoughts. We also need to understand what is most important to us before we enter into commitments such as marriage. In most situations, partners need to agree on religion, because it permeates so much of our lives. if one’s partner thinks your beliefs don’t make sense, it will be hard to connect with them or make decisions together.

How do we determine what our core values are? One good indicator of a value is that one get into fights with people about it. Maybe it’s punctuality, finances, politics, religion, expectations, or your definition of success. Pay attention to what makes you angry, and then ask why. What is the reason behind your strong emotion? Is it respect? Safety?

Exploration of the values handed down to you by your family of origin is an important part of the process of individuation. If you want to know what your values are, you must find out if you really agree with what you were taught as a child. Your parents might not approve,, but if the rules you live by do not sit well in your soul, you will might not find the happiness you seek. You might even have a meltdown and end up questioning everything anyway, so you might as well do the work now, before you fall apart.

Therapy is a great place to find out who you are and how to grow to live without compromising your values. Finding the right therapist can be a challenge, especially if you are not aware of what your values are. If your therapist does not believe that your values are important, it will be hard for you to make progress. Don’t despair – keep looking until you find someone who aligns with what is important to you.

At the end of this episode, Dr. Karin and I discuss the power of positive mindset practices. We have both personally improved our lives so drastically by making simple changes like taking time for gratefulness and choosing to smile. We have committed to staying mentally healthy, and to do that, we need a positive outlook. You can find a lot of information on this topic in other episodes of Hope to Recharge.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (Dr. Chaya Lieba Kobernick)

Borderline Personality disorder is often stigmatized and rarely mentioned in public circles as a topic of discussion. There is much shame around it and those diagnosed with it often keep it clandestine and private so as not to be exposed for the darkness they carry within them.

Dr. Kobernick is a licensed clinical psychologist and the Founder and Director of The CBT/DBT Center. DBT stands for Dialectical Behavior Therapy which is a “behavior therapy”. She helps patients target behaviors in order to affect how they are feeling. The additional layer here is Dialectics – which is a type of philosophy that states that there are always multiple truths and more than one way of looking at something in our world. This is important because it helps us to see the grays rather than getting stuck in the black and white.

Having big emotions is a wonderful thing. People with big emotions can be the best artists, musicians, lovers, parents and nurturers. But, those emotions need to be navigated with the right skills and tools. Learning mindfulness and how to listen to her emotions helped Dr. Kobernick in her own childhood with big emotions.

The two elements that Dr. Kobernick focuses on when she treats patients with DBT are acceptance and change. So, the way it works is at any given moment a patient needs to accept reality as it is and they are working towards change in their lives. They both – acceptance and change – need to exist. You cannot push for change if you are not in acceptance.

Parenting a Child with BPD (Lisa Wells)

admin — Wed, 28 Apr 2021 02:22:36 +0000

Today’s episode of Hope to Recharge is sponsored by https://Betterhelp.com/hopetorecharge.

—————————————————————————

Lisa Wells is raising a son with Borderline Personality Disorder. As a little boy, her child was diagnosed with ADHD. He was throwing furniture, had to be taken out of school and went through all kinds of treatment. He endured a lot of ridicule, punishment, and rejection from school staff for not behaving in the way they expected. Lisa assumes this contributed to the trauma which led to him to develop BPD and an older teen.

Lisa shared with me her strategies for staying afloat while her son is drowning. One of the components needed to able to care for your loved one’s high-needs is to realize that you can’t be available for them 24/7. You are human too, and if you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t have anything left to give. This can be terrifying because there are so many “what if’s” and lack of control when you don’t do everything that they need. In the long run, if you both want to enjoy your life more and be able to be available without burning out, you cannot place all of the responsibility for their survival on yourself. You sometimes have to let go, and that’s okay.

Another major strategy Lisa utilizes on a daily basis, is to recognize and measure her physical and emotional capacity to help somebody else. If her son is calls her on the phone, Lisa will pause and take notice if she has at least 50% of her capability to deal with whatever situation might be. If she’s already feeling overwhelmed by other things in life — lacking sleep, the dog barking, and she’s involved in getting something done, she takes a “self-care break”, works on her mindset to bring herself back up to at least 50%, and then chooses to reach out and support her son.

Lisa has come to realize that the best way to help her son is simply using the practice of radical acceptance. No judgement. If he’s only wearing one shoe, she won’t say something negative or critical, but just rolls with it. If he really wants some cigarettes, she will actually go buy them for him. If she shows up in his space, and it is clear that he really just needs to be left alone, she leaves. Fighting against whatever is going on in his life that isn’t immediately life-threatening only makes him feel criticized, which can be a big trigger. Lisa chooses to believe that he’s doing the best he can, and doesn’t push him to be anyone besides who he is in that moment.

She communicates her boundaries with her son. When he has a meltdown, she will calmly say that she will not tolerate being yelled at. When a conversation starts to go off track, she will clearly tell him that she’s not leaving forever; she just really needs to go get dinner on the table or do some other task, and she will call him again in a couple hours when they both have had time to regroup. Because so much that happens in his life seems like an emergency, it can be hard for him to understand how his mom could choose to not help him in his seemingly desperate situation, but she is working to help him understand that she is a person too, and her needs are just as legitimate as his own.

Lisa relates how funny he is and how good he is at the things he’s passionate aboutand often invites him over to help her with a project and delights in seeing how he finds the quickest and most efficient way to solve the problem she has presented him with. He loves to help out others. If he has a few extra dollars, he’ll go give it to a homeless person because he knows what it is like to be on the street. He loves being encouraging and making jokes with his neighbors and those around him. BPD is not all darkness. Those suffering from it are full of light… just often not for themselves.

“The last thing he needs is for me to be pointing stuff out to him if he’s having a rough day… So, I thought, “I’ll just kind of be with him,” and “How can I help him?” Instead of my mind immediately going to, “Why cant he?” It was, “How can I?” “@LisaWells @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

Loving and Supporting a Loved One with BPD (Brina McNally)

When Brina and Paul began to date, he was magnetic and charming. They had a connection from the first moment together having a drink. People at work had complained about Paul, saying he was aggressive and difficult. Brina never witnessed that side of him until about 6 months into their relationship, after Paul had too much to drink at a party. Not long after, Paul was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, after having been together almost 4 years and they had just gotten engaged.

Brina knows every side of him, so when he begins to act in unexpected or scary ways, she is able to see the hurting child within, who just wants to be loved. Often, his emotions and expressions don’t match. He might be feeling happy, but he displays anger, because he breaks things. If he’s feeling angry, he displays deep sadness, sobbing. With the help of therapists, Brina has learned how to help him communicate his emotions and needs and to accept and honor her needs as well. She has learned to communicate clearly with him what her plans and boundaries are, so that he feels less abandoned when she needs to do something “without him”.

I asked Brina if she ever feels guilty for triggering a mental health episode in Paul’s life. She explained to me how she understands that she is not responsible for the emotional response Paul might have to a choice that she has made. However, if she knows that something is likely to trigger him, she feels that she does have a responsibility, to at least prepare to make that choice, in the safest way possible. If Paul ever feels that Brina has knowingly hurt him, or vice versa, together, they choose a time when they can both calmly have a conversation about what happened.

Brina shared with me how much Paul has given to her and changed her life for the better. He is fun, energetic, and brilliant. When Brina comes up with a hair-brained idea, he takes it as an intellectual challenge and figures out how to make it happen. Paul is able to draw her out of her shell, in ways she never thought possible. Without him, she might never have felt comfortable being on a podcast like this! Despite all the challenges, Paul has given her confidence and permission to dream of her own success.

Quotes:

“People that live with Borderline don’t have to be alone.” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“Never go to the same therapist as your partner… they have this bias going into my treatment based on how they had treated him.” @BrinaMcNally @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“Give yourself grace. Not every moment am I going to be madly in love with him. Not every moment am I going to have the most compassion for him, and not every moment am I going to keep my temper and my cool with him.” @BrinaMcNally @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“Abandonment is a huge issue for people with Borderline. Any time there’s a perceived abandonment — it doesn’t even have to be an actual abandonment. It could just be you’re getting up to go to the next room, and they’re like, “Wait! Where are you going??”” @BrinaMcNally @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

Healing from BPD with Mindfulness (Hannah Galliers)

Hannah Galliers has navigated through her journey with Borderline Personality Disorder, known in the United Kingdom as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD). Although Hannah’s official diagnosis with BPD was recent, she has been on a healing journey through meditation and mindfulness practices and other therapies for several years. As with many people with BPD, she grew up in a broken environment where she was not allowed to process emotion. In college, she faced recovery from sexual assault, and shortly after, one of her best friends passed away. The realization that the path she was walking might lead to her death, pushed her to seek support for her mental health.

It has taken years for Hannah to finally receive the official diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. Her upbeat demeanor and lack of skills to recognize and communicate her feelings kept the depth of her struggle from being recognized by both herself and the professionals she interacted with. Finally, when she got in to see a psychiatrist about a possible ADHD diagnosis, that doctor redirected her to BPD. Unfortunately, the best-known treatment for this disorder (DBT) is not readily available in England, so Hannah has not yet begun that course. The practices that have served her best in coping with BPD have been placing consistent structure in her day, reflecting on her long-term progress, and keeping her mindset open and positive.

Hannah started this journey without a lot of support, but as she has chosen to be open about her struggles and work hard to feel better, she found the love of her life. She and her partner Michael, have a baby and a home and will soon be married. Michael has been very patient with her and been able to recognize when the illness is talking and not his beloved Hannah. Together, they navigated through pregnancy that was made more difficult not only by BPD but also COVID lockdown. Before Michael, she had typical experiences with romantic relationships: the ups and downs, emotional breakups, and instability… but today, there is hope. People like Michael do exist out there, who are willing to communicate, take everything with a grain of salt and a pound of patience, and to keep their loved one with BPD accountable to do what they need to feel better.

Quotes:

“Everything that I’ve been through has led me to this moment, and everything I have now, I’m very grateful for, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.” @HannahLucyGalliers @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“Part of my recovery is owning my truth and accepting it rather than just ignoring what’s going on”. @HannahLucyGalliers @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“It’s all bad stories. All you hear is about how, the people who are really ill and really need help, all you hear is about how they’re manipulative and trying to seek attention, when, actually, coming through my eyes, they just want to be loved half the time, and they just haven’t really received that in their life” @HannahLucyGalliers @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“If you only love yourself 10%, if someone loves you 20%, that seems amazing. But if you love yourself 100%, someone’s really gotta get up there to be amazing. And don’t settle because you’re worth so much more”. @HannahLucyGalliers @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

Borderline Personality Disorder: The Road to Recovery (Debbie DeMarco Bennett)

Today’s episode of Hope to Recharge is sponsored by https://Betterhelp.com/hopetorecharge.

Debbie DeMarco Bennett grew up in a difficult home situation and moved to foster care as a teen. She went through her own Hell, and chose to go back, to help those who live there. For Debbie, recovery started with a diagnosis. She was hospitalized with dehydration. Because her emotions were so strong, her nerves caused her to throw everything up. Her partner and her best friend came to the E.R. and told her, that if she didn’t figure out what was causing these emotional responses and get help, they would abandon her. She told the hospital staff what her mental state was. The psychiatrist recognized some of her symptoms, did a diagnostic checklist, and diagnosed her with BPD. Debbie was relieved that there was a name for what she was experiencing, that she wasn’t the only one, and that the doctor had given her this hope: there was a treatment created specifically for people with her disorder called Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and their hospital had groups where she could go through the skills training course.

As she began recovery, Debbie started writing a blog and created a Twitter account where she processed and documented what she learned. Her hope, was that another human might read her account and relate to her story. Soon, she had thousands of followers and messages pouring in from readers, many of whom were asking how they could access a therapy group. She realized she could offer them the hope that she had found, and started DBT Path. Now, dozen staff members later, they are able to offer DBT groups and other supports to people who are currently struggling in the same way she had been just a few years ago.

There is hope for those with Borderline Personality Disorder and their communities. People with BPD have often been through horrific amounts of trauma and just may be some of the strongest people alive. They are waiting to be given a chance to heal, improve their lives, and contribute all the good they have to offer to their communities. People with BPD are so often immediately dismissed as a “hopeless case” or rejected and feared because of their unexpected behaviors. The stigma around this diagnosis is stronger than of almost any other mental illness. However, with education and proof of recovery, that stigma is slowly lifting. As people are able to find the right support system and persevere towards healing, the illness is not as destructive.

“I don’t like this, but I can handle it.” @DebbieDeMarcoBennett @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“There’s not a lot of sympathy or a good understanding for people with this disorder… Education is needed. These are hurting people.” @DebbieDeMarcoBennett @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“They were never taught how to regulate their emotions, and they were never taught how to handle the different things that come up within them. How are they supposed to know unless someone is willing to meet them where they’re at– even if they’re being nasty, even if they’re having trouble with lying or cutting themselves…? Somebody has to meet this person right where they’re at and love them and care for them and show them respect and have that empathy and that space to listen and to begin to help them”. @DebbieDeMarcoBennett @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

The Teen Suicide Prevention Society (Jackie Simmons)

Within the next 24 hours, more than 3,000 teenagers in the United States will attempt to take their own lives. Seventeen of them will succeed. Jackie Simmons’ daughter, Stephanie, shared that statistic when delivering a speech which would change lives and inspire teens to come together with Stephanie’s sisters and to create, “The Teen Suicide Prevention Society.”

When Stephanie was 14, she attempted suicide for the first time. Over the next several years, her mother placed her in different types of treatment programs, but never spoke with her directly about what she was going through. When Stephanie stood up and gave that speech, Jackie realized her huge mistake. Her daughter suggested to the audience, the solution to teen suicidality was prevention, not intervention, and that kids should be talked to about mental health, suicide, and strategies to deal with any difficulties they encounter before they were having a problem with it.

That is the basis of their society. Today, they train people to be emotionally and mentally resilient and provide tools to talk with loved ones about suicide, before it appears to be a problem. Those who join the Teen Suicide Prevention Society receive a script on talking with their teens about suicide, tools to learn about where they stand, and to learn skills in mental and emotional resilience, and support from trained and professional staff. Joining is free, and access to most of the programs they offer are also free of charge.

Quotes:

“[I am] able to say with absolute certainty, that the silence on this topic is killing us. It’s deadly.” @JackieSimmons @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“Here’s a myth: people who attempt to die by suicide, whether they die or not, they’re not looking to die. They just can’t figure out how to live. They just don’t know how to live with the pain… It’s not a fascination with death. It is literally, that’s the only option they can see in that moment.” @JackieSimmons @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“What if there’s no sign of struggle? … the first sign is often a [suicide] attempt.“ @JackieSimmons @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“The reality is according to Freud, suicidal thoughts are normal. They’re part of the natural problem solving abilities of the brain. They’re part of our worst case scenario mechanism. They are there for a reason they can spur problem-solving if we let it.” @JackieSimmons @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“Whatever age your kid is now, now is the right time to start… we can’t afford to wait. We can’t afford to wait for there to be signs, for us to think that there’s a risk factor, for there to be some reason to have the talk.” The reason to have the talk about suicide is because they’re still breathing. @JackieSimmons @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

Being the Parent of a Child Battling Mental Illness (Avremi Gourarie)

I had the privilege of talking with Avremi Gourarie about the life of his daughter Yocheved, her struggle with an eating disorder, depression and her heartbreaking recent death.

On December 22, 2020, 24 year old Yocheved took her own life.

Yocheved was a kind and thoughtful person. Loved by all. She was a top student, always maintaining perfect grades in school and at the time of her passing, was in the process of applying to PHD nursing programs. Posthumously, the family learned that she was accepted at Columbia University in their DNP program on track to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Unfortunately, her battle with mental illness raged, and she succumbed to it, not having fulfilled her dreams.

Avremi shared with me all that their family had done to support Yocheved throughout her struggle. She attended a Modern Orthodox High School, which was less restrictive than the Chabad school that she had previously attended. They assembled a therapy team, which included a stint at a residential facility specializing in eating disorders. Family and friends provided the needed financial support and other provisions so they could focus on helping her life improve.

The day of Yocheved’s death came as a surprise to Avremi, who thought she was being supervised and making progress. The Gouraries and their community are still grieving, processing, and continuing to learn more about mental health issues as they ask themselves the hard questions – What happened?

Avremi and I touched on so many important topics in this episode that we could not cover in such a short time. Stay tuned for more episodes covering such subjects of being the parent of a child battling mental illness, siblings of kids with mental illness, and how to balance religion with necessary treatments.

“It was very important to my wife and I that we didn’t put religion ahead of cure.” @AvremiGourarie @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“There’s so much pain for [parents whose children have committed suicide]. There’s so much loneliness because they feel like failures and what they need to know that they’re heroes, heroes.” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“She refused to consider going to any kind of nutritional counseling for eating disorder.”@AvremiGourarie @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“The reason, I suspect, is because an eating disorder is something that it gives them control of something. If you’re going to get nutritional support for it and they tell you, “You can’t do this, but you got to do that.” [The patient loses] control.” @AvremiGourarie @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

Searching for God in the Garbage (Bracha Goetz)

Today’s episode of Hope to Recharge is sponsored by https://Betterhelp.com/hopetorecharge.

—————————————————————————

Bracha Goetz walks us through her journey to finding purpose in her life. Her search began at age 12 when she started wondering what the point of anything was and feeling very empty inside. She thought there must be more to life than what those around her do and expected her to do. She began her struggle with food, experimented with drugs and sought out religions and philosophical schools of thought.

As an adult in medical school, Bracha came upon a Jewish school in Israel for those searching for truth and clarity. It was there she encountered the Almighty and found true fulfillment for the first time. Her desire for junk food diminished drastically.

Her transformation lay in teachings by Rabbi Noah Weinberg, of Aish HaTorah, called the 5 Pleasures. We must first understand the core truth of creation, that humans were created to find the most pleasure they can on this planet. There are five basic levels of pleasure in the human experience.

(1) The physical five senses, the most basic level of pleasure – food, nature, music , etc.
(2) Love – appreciation for other human beings.
(3) Meaning– having a reason behind what you do and connecting to your community in a deeper way.
(4) Creativity – the joy of creative freedom and using our natural gifts for a purpose.
(5) Transcendence, or clarity. When you can perceive and understand truths about God, people and the world around you and about yourself.

We typically dwell in levels one through three. Levels four and five are rare, but when we experience them, we never forget them and continue to pursue them. Many people turn to addiction, including disordered eating, because they have not reached higher levels of pleasure and purpose. Almost all addiction is seated in the first level – the physical. When not fulfilled in the higher levels or not finding spiritual connection in the physical world, we seek more and more pleasure in the lower levels. Unfortunately, those pursuits can never provide what we seek.

If you have trouble finding joy and purpose in your life, try some of the exercises suggested by Bracha. Try noticing small things that are pleasurable to you. For instance, focus on an orange and notice its color, fragrance, texture, flavor – and any other pleasurable details. Connecting to what you eat the way it was intended, is a spiritual experience, which will deeply connect you to the universe and to your creator. If you have experienced emotional trauma, it will be challenging, but don’t give up.

If you find yourself doing something unhealthy, pause. Try switching activities. Dance around the house. Interact with other humans. Go outside. Then come back to that bag of chips and see if you still desire them as strongly. Oftentimes, you will find you were not truly feeding your soul, only your temporary, physical pleasure sensors. If you do finish that bag of chips, observe how you feel afterwards. Do you feel more whole? More clear and purposeful? Grateful? Or did it make you feel bad about yourself?

We hope you take the time to find pleasure in the “small things”. What do you do? We’d love to hear. Share your thoughts with us in our private Facebook group.

Quotes:

“The big bag of potato chips stops calling your name when you fill up with other pleasures.” @Bracha Goetz @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“Comfort is the opposite of pleasure… pain is not the opposite of pleasure. There could be pain involved in pleasure… but comfort stops us for reaching for pleasure when I’m stuffing my face.” @Bracha Goetz @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“Hope is the part of your soul, that spark that nobody could cover up completely… it’s the resilience. It’s an eternal light inside of every person… And it’s still there. No matter what. So the whole thing is to nourish your soul and remove the garbage. Your soul is still shining there so that you’ll be able to feel it and see it and experience it… it’s the part of you that’s a part of God. It is infinite.” @Bracha Goetz @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

“[The addiction to joy] doesn’t make your life unmanageable at all because you keep it up from a source of understanding with spirituality.” @Bracha Goetz @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

We are back after having taking February off.

Many incredible things happened over the course of this month. A distant friend sent me a book on “Nishmat”, the very prayer I try to practice each morning. Several other friends and acquaintances also sent gifts and notes that went exactly in line with what I was doing. Speaking engagements also fell into line. Simply pursuing what one wants, sends energy out into the universe that leads people to (unknowingly) do things for us.

Taking time off allows us to pursue what our hearts truly desire and love to do. Speaking to those in need feeds my soul, and because I had cleared my schedule, I was able to take on several last-minute engagements.

The long lasting snowstorms made me yearn for summer but also reminds me that time heals. As winter will eventually come to an end, hard times in life won’t last forever. When struggling with having to wear so many layers of clothing to keep warm in the bitter cold days, I picture the day that is coming: the day when I’ll be able to throw on flip flops and run out the door into the sun. That imagery gives hope and a smile about the future, which helps us to endure the present. We can know that whatever season we are in won’t last for the rest of our lives. Something better is coming, and if we focus on that, we can smile and keep going.

Silence has been proven to be important for success. In the silence, the issues we are hiding from come up, and we have to deal with them. If we continue to pretend they don’t exist, we will never grow. We also need time to rest, to recharge, and to reflect on who we are and what we are doing and why. We need time to remember what will feed our souls. Rather than getting caught up in the hurricane of life and doing what we’re told, stop. Think. What do you actually want to do?

Taking a break is so important in so many ways. We should all find a way to do so regularly. Give yourself that gift. You deserve it.

Coming this month: more episodes about teens and mental health

Empower Your Mindset (Sari Dana)

Sari Dana tells us her story of how she chose to move away from dieting after a long struggle with binge eating. She chose to give her body unconditional acceptance and love, no matter what happened to her size, which put her in a much healthier place both mentally and physically than she had been before.

Her passion to empower everyone involved in working with teens, including the kids themselves, is to retrain their minds to see themselves as a whole person, not just their bodies or any other part, and to love every part unconditionally. Once they have started that work in themselves, they can start to guide others as well.

Sari leads groups about developing healthy relationships with food by having healthy relationships with your mind and accepting every part of who you are unconditionally, by beginning with the invisible, through positive affirmations.

No two people are the same. Healthy sizes and exercise levels for one person could be quite dangerous for another. We tend to focus so much on outward appearance when 95% of who we are comes from inside our brains. Our thoughts, feelings, and energy shape who we are as people, yet, people often tend to care about the 5% of us which only we can see.

A Journey of Teen Bipolar Disorder (Nicole Howson)

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 17:58:12 +0000

Today’s episode of Hope to Recharge is sponsored by https://Betterhelp.com/hopetorecharge.

Growing up, Nichole and her family knew she was different; something just seemed “off.” But she wouldn’t get diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder until she was 20 years old. As a young child, she assumed everyone was having a similar inner experience to hers, so she didn’t even think to ask for help. Her parents didn’t understand how much was going on in her brain.

During a manic episode, Nichole left home and moved in with a boy several hours away. When the mania subsided, she found herself in the deepest depression of her life. She took herself to the hospital many times, and was turned away every time before finally getting admitted for attempting suicide and being taken home by her parents.

It can be difficult to be taken seriously when you go to the hospital with any condition. Taking someone along with you who can support and advocate for you, especially when you are not feeling well enough to speak up for your needs, can literally be a life saver.

Nichole took us back to her childhood where she never felt at home with her peers. She preferred the company of teachers and other adults in her life. She begged her mom to homeschool her, but her family was unable to do so. Her struggle with social anxiety and bullying caused her to do whatever she could to hide.

One of the most important things we can do to help ourselves or others who are struggling with mental illness is simply to talk about it. Have the conversation; bring it to light. No one has ever healed from pretending to be okay. Boundaries are also so important, whether in-person or online. Don’t be afraid to unfriend or unfollow or at least mute people. More importantly, surround yourself with loved ones and social media accounts that make you feel uplifted and healthy. You don’t have to keep following people or accounts that are no longer relevant or helpful to you.

Finding the right medication can be such a struggle, and it took Nichole 7 years to reach this point where she feels stable AND doesn’t have negative side effects. Persistence is key. Don’t give up. Human support is also so important. Being part of a support group teaches you about your condition from the perspectives of people who are experiencing it and can not only relate to you, but also warn you about something you might experience later. Above all, don’t give up. There is always another beacon of hope around the corner.

Talking About Teen Suicide (Laura Messner)

Laura Messner grew up in a typical home until her parents divorced when she was eight years old. After she became aware of how little she got to see her father, she began chasing after perfection in every way she could think of to “earn” his attention… until she developed an eating disorder and eventually attempted suicide. She came to learn self-love and to take responsibility for her own pain and healing journey. As a teenager, she resisted help because she was unwilling to admit that everything inside was not perfect. It wasn’t until her late twenties that she came to understand that her struggles stemmed from the pain she felt from seeing herself as a victim of her father’s abandonment.

Laura shares her insight of how healing comes from taking baby steps like practicing daily thankfulness, finding a group of loving people to support you, making healthy body choices, and figuring out in therapy what is causing you distress. It also comes from realizing that you alone have control of your life and choosing to see yourself and others through a compassionate lens. If you find yourself triggered into an emotional state, try asking, “What caused this? How can I fix this?” rather than allowing yourself to explode into a huge, long emotional display that makes you feel better because you are embracing your status as a victim.

There is much stigma admitting we are struggling with mental health issues or even just that we have emotions. The stigma doesn’t make sense because everyone has struggles, and many who hide it, wish there was someone they could share it with. If we suppress difficult feelings, they can spread like cancer making it harder to heal. Sharing can lift such a huge burden off of your shoulders. If parents or others are not supportive, find a mentor you can talk to who will not report back to them because to live your best life, you need support.

Finally, Laura shared with us about how she cares for her brother, Richard Junior, who is on the autism spectrum. Despite him not being able to give back as someone in a typical relationship would, she appreciates what he does give her, simply through his outlook on life. Richard Junior has taught her many things about life and love.

As we all know, sharing can help others. We are here to support each other and to learn from each other. In mental health, Together is better.

As we begin 2021, Matana looks back on 2020, recounting the blessing of having experienced a year devoted to gratitude. She highlights how she chose to be in the moments that are phenomenal, chose to highlight the gratitude moments and chose to live with an open, grateful heart.

She shares how we can all invite miracles to our lives by focusing on the constant practice of gratitude, and coming to peace with things that didn’t go our way.

A key strategy she shares is how she decided to undertake starting and ending the day with a smile, despite the challenges of that day, the hurt, pain or disappointment, and focus on gratitude, which allowed her to see miracles throughout the year.

Matana offer us her “Gift of Light” special program, where she offers her listeners the option of working with her 1 on 1, over 8 sessions. This offer only has a small amount of slots open and is available for a limited time. The program is custom tailored to each individual and she will share her tools and techniques on topics she has implemented, such as gratitude, forgiveness, positive mindset and self love.

Breaking the Stigma on Teen Mental Health – A Teacher Speaks Out (Tammy Ozolins)

Tammy Ozolins is an extraordinary teacher. She returns to tell us of how teachers face an uphill battle in the field, boots on the ground, in the daunting challenge of helping teens who suffer with mental illness. She chooses to highlight the importance of being a friend to a student rather than a disciplinarian. In one instance, this technique resulted in a 6th grade student confiding to her years later, that her support drove him to not only graduate, but to join the marine corps with pride in who he was and what he became.

Many teachers are overwhelmed with the daunting task of teaching. However, awareness and sensitivity can often save the lives of their students. Being a supportive role model can often be the step that can bridge the gap to someone who is worthy of confiding in. Often, parents too may not be aware of the needs of their children and allowing the dialog to open up in a safe, healing space can be the difference between a child who opens up and a child that suffers in silence. That vulnerable bravery that a parent can muster is heroic and should be adopted by parents and teachers alike.

Parents, like teachers, should ask questions when they notice something is different, but should then be patient. Don’t badger them. They know you’ve asked and are willing to talk. A good rule of thumb is to ask no more than once a day. Children are in the process of building their self image, want to be popular, and are bombarded by messages. Not only in person, but online. They need encouragement to be popular for being kind. They need to learn coping skills for when they experience bullying, and they need to know it’s okay to ask for help and who to go to.

As we all know, sharing can help others. We are here to support each other and to learn from each other. In mental health, Together is better.

Dr. Aviva Weisbord, PhD, was a gift to humanity. Her untimely passing this past week brought forth stories of an incredible individual, who harnessed her innate talent to help others challenged with struggles, mental health issues, personal problems and become a life long devotee to public health organizations, all with extreme humility.

Her focus was not myopic. Her vision was broad. She undertook personal responsibility to helping those with no one to help them, providing a listening ear, word of comfort, sage advice, albeit peppered with deep, profound and sensitive wisdom.

She not only mastered her craft but made it the standard to which all others would strive to reach.

As we begin 2021, Matana reflects back on some of the gains made last year, and how she implemented tools to heal, and looking at lessons learned from Dr. Weisbord on how to incorporate her lessons in humanity as tools to healing.

As we all know, sharing can help others. We are here to support each other and to learn from each other. In mental health, Together is better.

—————————————————————————

She shares how we can all invite miracles to our lives by focusing on the constant practice of gratitude, and coming to peace with things that didn’t go our way.

As 2020 comes to a close, we continue discussing our ability to harness the power of resilience that can be accomplished when focusing with gratitude. It is crucial to learn how to shield ourselves and create boundaries from things that are harmful to us and to become aware of our triggers. We learn to say “no” things that will hurt us and give ourselves permission to ask, “Is what I’m going to do going to help me in my recovery, or is it going to set me back”.

We reflect back on 2020 not as a year of failure, but instead, we celebrate the growth we’ve accomplished in our desire to improve and grow. Our actions – the steps we’ve taken and our intent and drive to become better, prove that we have the proper motivation, we will succeed in our goal and we should write down all the gifts that resilience gave us throughout the year.

In her TED Talk entitled “The three secrets of resilient people”, Dr. Lucy Hone, who lost her daughter in an automobile accident, shares with us a powerful map to increase our ability to heal and move forward.

As we all know, sharing can help others. We are here to support each other and to learn from each other. In mental health, Together is better.

If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group. We also offer free 30-minute fitting calls (https://hopetorecharge.com/1on1/) for our coaching program. You do not have to walk through your mental health struggle alone. Because as always, together is better!

As we end the holiday season, Matana rediscovers her year, recounting the blessing of having experienced a year devoted to gratitude. She highlights how she chose to be in the moments that are phenomenal, chose to highlight the gratitude moments and chose to live with an open, grateful heart.

She shares how we can all invite miracles to our lives by focusing on the constant practice of gratitude, and coming to peace with things that didn’t go our way.

Matana introduces us to her “Gift of Light” special program, where she offers her listeners the option of working with her 1 on 1, over 8 sessions. This offer only has a small amount of slots open and is available for a limited time. The program is custom tailored to each individual and she will share her tools and techniques on topics she has implemented, such as gratitude, forgiveness, positive mindset and self love.

Resilience Through Positive Mindset (Paul Cummings)

Paul Cummings had a stroke three years ago and lost his speech, the ability to understand others, the ability to read and write and difficulty moving his muscles. Doctors told him he would never be able to write or speak again.

Paul advocated getting a coach for whatever we are trying to accomplish. Kristina, his first speaking coach, was his speech therapist She gave him a book of 40,000 words, to which he devoted 14 hours a day tracing and copying. He didn’t know what the letters were, how they sounded, or what the words meant. Now, he knows 30,000 of those words and teaches others with similar conditions to read and speak again.

Prior to his stroke, Paul was a world renowned speaker on the topic of positive mindset. Although his speech was shut down by the stroke and he was unable to share his wisdom with others, he followed his own advice throughout his recovery. It only took him 6 weeks to learn how to write again. When a person’s brain has known how to do something in the past, it doesn’t take as long to recover that ability again. Paul practices the technique of speaking words in different kinds of voices so that his brain can remember the phrase in different ways.

Paul emphasizes that negativity has no place in the recovery process. When doctors and loved ones preach that one is doomed, tune them out and speak positive affirmations into your life. With belief that one can get better and the willingness to work incredibly hard to get there, recovery is possible.

As we all know, sharing can help others. We are here to support each other and to learn from each other. In mental health, Together is better.

Resilience Through Recovery (Zahava List)

After having seven episodes of psychosis and Bipolar I over the course of five years, Zahava List finally got through five years without a single episode. During those five years, she started an organization called Chazkeinu, which offers a support group to Jewish women and their families who are dealing with mental illness.

Prior to her most recent manic episode, Zahava was scheduled to be a returning guest of the show, but the most severe manic episode of her life delayed plans. While manic, she made unsafe decisions that led her to seek hospitalization, and attempted to act on suicidal thoughts for the first time while in the hospital. Although she was absent from partaking of the Rosh Hashanah Holiday with her family, she had a strong support system, and her loved ones support her unconditionally, love her and believed she could heal. She did not have complete success with medication and therapy and underwent electric convulsion therapy.

Zahava’s children were aware of and dealt with her manic episode. She speaks with them about her illness in casual conversation in their house. It’s not hush-hush; it’s not a mystery to them; they are not feeling frightened, alone, and unsure about it because their parents have explained it at their age level and do not try to keep it a secret. Zahava knows there is hope for her to heal from her most recent bout of illness, get her memory back, and to continue making an impact in the lives of women struggling with mental illness and their families.

As we all know, sharing can help others. We are here to support each other and to learn from each other. In mental health, Together is better.

Don’t Let Your Obstacles Slow You Down (Brian Reynolds)

In this episode, we meet Brian Reynolds, a world record-holding runner, who also happens to be a double, below-the-knee, amputee. He shares his lifelong experiences growing up and overcoming. Sadly, Brian was born with a condition that made him very susceptible to illness. At just four years old he came down with meningitis, an infection that’s taken many lives. As a result of his illness, he woke up in the hospital without his legs. However, Brian isn’t the type of person to dwell on that and the sadness that could rightfully overtake and debilitate a person. To the contrary, he assures and inspires us how he is lucky that this is all he lost.

He didn’t always have an easy time of being proud in his own skin. As a young boy, he heard another child make a negative comment about his “legs” and instantly put on full length pants. It wasn’t until after college when he finally took the pants off and put on a pair of shorts. He shares with us how liberating an experience it was for him. Not long after, Brian began to run. It wasn’t a comfortable experience at first but he found joy in it and he discusses how discomfort helps teach us to push through the pain for the things we love.

We learn from Brian the power of inner strength and his personal hurdles to becoming an amputee runner, that we might not have never thought of or imagined. Brian is clearly not satisfied with just being. He’s all about pushing himself to see what he can accomplish next. While we may choose to not be as hard on ourselves as Brian demonstrates of himself to the world, we can learn volumes from his mental and inner strengths. Brian is not just an inspiration to people with physical or mental disability, but to everyone who is alive.

“For me I’m grateful every single day that I can go out and run, because I spent so long thinking I couldn’t. So every day I get to put on my running prosthetics and head out that door, head to the treadmill, it always makes me smile.” @brianreynoldsrunner #HopetoRecharge
“And it’s such a big lesson in life, especially with mental illness, bring some humor into it when it’s so dark.” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“I hope my audience takes from this that when you see an obstacle in your journey, whatever it is, don’t tell yourself you can’t overcome it, try, research, and take the pants off just like Brian, and try it out, it might be your road to freedom!” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

As the end of 2020 nears, Matana reflects back on the changes, growth and hurdles that we’ve seen and learned from. Inspired from the positive moments, we focus on the power of resilience and our commitment to keeping this attribute a constant thread in the fabric that weaves us.

The year was filled with unstoppable curves in the road of our normal and regular and we’ve all had to adapt and not be brought down. Refocusing our mantra to, “And that’s ok”, is a message learned from Ari’s mentor, and Matana recognizes the power of this message, as a tool of flexibility to getting through moments that we thought impossible.

Critical decisions at times of challenge define our durability and the stuff of what we are made of and 2020 brought us face to face with our challenges. Rigidity doesn’t serve us well during crisis and in this episode, we review the beauty of mindset keeping us on the straight track to positive mental health.

As we all know, sharing can help others. We are here to support each other and to learn from each other. In mental health, Together is better.

Heal With Gold (Part 2) (Miri Grunhaus & Fally Klein)

In continuation of Part 1 of this episode, we are joined again with Miri Grunhaus & Fally Klein, who share with us their wisdom, insight and experience in the journey of mental health, and healing with gold. If you have not yet heard Part 1 of this episode, please listen to it here, before listening to this episode.

In this stunning interview with personal friends and collaborators Fally Klein, a women’s empowerment facilitator, and Miri Grunhaus, a fashion designer with purpose, we gain a newfound understanding of healing. Both women have experienced tremendous pain in their lives, but it is what they learned from their pain that gave them purpose, and ultimately brought them together. If we learn to sit with our pain rather than shy away from it, they share, we can catapult ourselves into lives of deeper joy and meaning than we ever thought possible.

For Miri, this meant shifting from a lucrative career in graphic design to a completely new industry: fashion. Without even knowing how to sew, Miri decided to empower women to heal themselves by building a fashion line around the Japanese concept of kintsugi. Just as broken pottery is mended with gold to highlight the breaks, Miri’s choice to own her story has led to a richer, more fulfilling existence.

For Fally, turning her pain into purpose has meant leading holistic healing workshops for women. Rather than trying to “fix” or numb out pain, Fally believes in diving straight into it. Within pain, there is always the potential for transformation. Fally happened to wear one of Miri’s kintsugi dresses to one of her workshops – the first in a long list of coincidences that brought these women together to do the work they are meant to be doing. Today’s episode will renew your belief in magic: the authentic kind of magic that happens when we choose to embrace what life gives us and own our story.

As we all know, sharing can help others. We are here to support each other and to learn from each other. In mental health, Together is better.

As children are returning to in-person schooling, we reflect on the time shared together over the past couple of months. As many people have been ignoring the positive, we try to embrace it.

In this episode, we discuss lamenting how children going back to school, both because we miss their time together and the new restrictions they face in their day to day. We all have choices, and each family has to handle how they make their choices.

We talk about masks and following the rules. We’re living in a world that is quick to cast blame, and sometimes we desire to sit in the victim seat instead of doing the messy work. The modern world is a lot to deal with, but we have to ask ourselves: What can I do with what I have?

We also discuss the link that seems to have been created between Covid and increased rates of suicide, delving into the idea that it might not be the masks and the social distancing that makes this link strong, but rather our culture that doesn’t know how to be uncomfortable, that’s responsible for this unfortunate rise.

Some people who have been dealing with mental illness are thriving right now, while others are sinking deeper into Depression.

—————————————————————————

Topics Discussed:

Staying positive through Current Events
Blame vs. Personal Choices
Covid-19 and rising Suicide rates

—————————————————————————

Quotes:

“But I had a choice to make, and I made the choice. And once I made the choice I needed to be okay with it. Yes, it was a little bit hard for me that day, and I sat with my pain and I spoke to my pain and I cried and I had my support. But there wasn’t a blame factor. It was awareness of my feelings, it was sitting with my feelings, and I was making a commitment that I was going to do the best I can with what I have. It’s owning responsibility for choices that we make in our life.” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“They are thriving, because they make a choice. Because we realize when we struggle with mental illness that we have to make hard choices. And we own what we have, and we pivot, and we move forward, and we don’t blame. We do the best we can.” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge.
“And I’m going to tell you, that a lot of people are blaming the increase in suicide to Covid, and I’m going to say, it’s not to Covid, it’s to the spoiled society that doesn’t learn to be uncomfortable sometimes, and pivot.” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge
“Give yuckiness a time, give it a time, it’s no problem. Give emotions time, talk to them, ask them what they’re there to tell you, to teach you. But at a certain point say, ‘okay now it’s my Choice.’” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge

Marissa Orr, a former Google & Facebook executive, shares her story of choosing the leave the corporate world and channel her energy into writing her book.

Now a bestselling author and leadership speaker, Marissa joins us in our continuing series of mental health in the workplace, describing the impact felt at having spent 15 years working at and leaving today’s top tech giants. She has since conducted talks for thousands of people in the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, at companies and universities such as Google, Twitter, Pace University, New School, American Express, and more. She share her frustration with the corporate workplace whose power struggle environment stifles life core values that could have been an asset to the company, and instead become a toxic competition instead of thriving.

Originally from Miami, she received her Master’s degree in Decision and Information Sciences from the University of Florida. A single Mom to 3 young children, she transformed her life after being fired from Facebook and distanced herself from continuing her corporate life to pouring her lessons learned into her best-selling book, “Lean Out, The Truth About Women, Power, & the Workplace” that enlightens on how to blaze a revolutionary path forward with the power to change the lives of men and women in the corporate world and beyond.

In our continuing series of mental health in the workplace, we welcome Dr. Cristy Lopez, a psychologist, high performance coach, and founder of My Anxiety Fix. She shares her years of experience and methods and how she helps over achievers accomplish more, understand themselves and put the past behind.

For the past 20+ years, Dr. Lopez has been helping highly stressed professionals reduce anxiety and stress in 10 minutes or less, without years of therapy or medication, so they can quickly and confidently respond to their inner critic, fall asleep faster, have fewer head or stomach aches, slow their brain down, be present in their relationships, and reach higher levels of performance.

Her unique programs are action oriented, reducing the need for years of therapy or medication and use the latest neuroscience to target the skills, strategies, and practices needed to break through barriers and limitations, eliminate unhealthy ineffective patterns, and finally develop a more successful and healthy life, with less stress.

Dr. Lopez has appeared on the Dr. Phil show and serves as an aftercare psychologist for guests on the show. and as an aftercare psychologist for Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers and helps our audience to understand what drives us to achieve the best place possible for ourselves that we are aware of and not driven by someone else.

Her unique insight helps us to understand key concepts to overcome our natural ways to morph onto new pathway and generate a new instinct for growth.

Having Strength To Do What You Need Without Losing Yourself (Olya Hill)

In this episode, we focus on the power of positive mindset and how it can influence our lives as career women, mothers, and as human beings. Together with my guest, we dig into topics such as how to juggle life, know who you are, tune in to your needs, grant yourself the gift of authenticity, and choose what is right. The energy and positivity of this episode are exciting! If you are female, this episode is especially for you!

Our guest, Olya Hill, is the founder of Living Notes. Olya is a former dancer, now a creative director, and the mother of seven children. She is a beautiful soul that believes in energy and positive mindset. She believes in womens’ empowerment, choosing ourselves as humans, being authentic and evolving with life.

Olya takes us through her journey as a young dancer. Having an Eastern European background and moving to the United States at just 18 years old, she retells how her grandmother had a profound influence on her choices, especially to have a large family. She tells us about the struggles of being a mother and a dancer at the same time. The expectation from her own society and the world of dance, is to show up, no matter what the excuse may be, or someone else will take your job. There is no empathy towards being a mother, especially for women artists. The most frequent attack that she had to face in her line of work was, “You were the one who chose to have the kids, so either go and be a mom or be a professional”, which is an incredibly cruel expectation.

Dance, meditation, and mindfulness saved Olya during complicated pregnancies and after suffering postpartum depression. She firmly believes that being a grounded person and having a healthy balance in life are ingredients to becoming a good parent. Life as a mother and a professional can often be challenging, but we hope that our discussion helps you to discover what is right for you..

As Olya shared with us today, being our true selves and giving ourselves the freedom to come back to what is truly important to us are essential to success. If you need help in this process of finding what matters and defines you as a person, please connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, and if you need more personal support, make sure you book your free call with Matana.

In our continuing series of mental health in the workplace / entrepreneurship, we meet Natalie Bacon, who pivoted from being a practicing business Attorney, to starting and authoring a blog, to becoming a certified financial planner and finally transitioning to become trained as a full time life coach.

She shares her struggles and trauma from growing up with an alcoholic dad whose life revolved around DWI’s, being in & out of jail, and his financial consequences, and the trauma of having recently lost her dad with whom she rebuilt her relationship.

Often, anxiety, panic and fear of the unknown hold us back when making big decisions, but it is crucial to find self love as the first step to improving our lives and goals. Feeling good when facing obstacles help us to remove the boundaries that we may unwittingly impose on ourselves. Nathalie gives us tremendous tips, techniques and tools to mindset improvement, such as accepting what is, instead of rejecting it, using your brain to bend your current beliefs and finding the upside of the natural human tendency to gravitate to a negative mindset and instead find meaning to our obstacles and accomplish positive change.

Matana shares her own real life scenarios of how goal setting and a life coach can help us achieve our desired outcomes when its hard to take that first step and how to identify and plan in advance, for events that challenge us, in order to help us make decisions in those moments and substitute things that challenge our goals with goal enhancing behaviors. If you find this episode useful, please do share it with someone else. Remember you can join our FaceBook community to share your thoughts and find support. Because as always, together is better!

All this month, we will be digging into the topic of mental health in the workplace. I get asked all the time about how we can deal with the ups and downs of work while navigating our own personal lives and what we can do to balance all life’s demands while staying mentally healthy.

We are kicking off this conversation by speaking with online entrepreneur and speaker, Maley Jaxx, who in just a few short years transitioned from her career to being in the public eye with her very popular brand and online presence. During all of this professional change, she was also experiencing a very difficult time in her personal life as her marriage was coming to an end.

Marley generously walks us through this season of her life where she had to focus on her business all while grieving the loss of a marriage. She shares with us about the decisions she has continually made to protect her mental health and her dedication to her vision despite the difficulty of walking through so many emotions.

Sometimes life hits us HARD when we least expect it. We hope that these conversations encourage you to stay mentally strong and prepared emotionally to walk through crises in the best way possible.

As Marley shares with us today, community is such an important element to our mental health, if you need a community who will stand beside you during the difficult times, please connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, and if you need more personal support make sure you book your free call with Matana. Because as always, together is better.

We continue the second part of our episode with Aliza Bulow, whose son Dani, died by suicide. Due to his diagnosed extreme depression and bipolar, Dani’s constant mantra since the age of 5 was that he did not want to live or be alive. As a loving parent walking on tiptoes, Aliza was constantly petrified of the day Dani would take his own life. She shares with us the intimate thoughts only a mother could, with extreme respect, love and fear of her son’s wishes and the truth of how he didn’t want to kill himself, he just didn’t want to be alive.

Aliza discusses her inner torment and constant worry as well as the sad feelings of relief and unintentional strange comfort in the wake of his death, that the worries of hearing a bump in the night are no longer a reason to leap out of bed and fully aware that she “didn’t give him permission but he got his wish”. She came to realize that he died of his illness, planning out his death and respectfully asking his mother her preferred method, as he respected her wishes.

This powerful episode opens the discussion of how not to be afraid to engage in hyper sensitive material. How to discuss suicide without giving permission but understanding the illness. It takes greatness and a healthy frame of mind to recognize that this was not her fault , she did nothing wrong, she was not a bad mother, they were simply nothing that she could do.

We also learn how parents can grow closer together despite having faced such a tragedy, and not also lose their marriage.

Topics Discussed:

❏ Living with a son with suicidal thoughts
❏ How to engage in conversations about suicide

The Aftermath of Suicide Pursuit – Aliza Bulow (PART 1)

We are joined in this first of two episodes, with Aliza Bulow to talk about suicide awareness. Aliza shares the story of her young son, Doni, who was determined to accomplish his lifelong request of dying by suicide. She gives us insight from a parent that lives with someone with depression and a desire for death by suicide.

Doni was the sixth child of Aliza and her husband and was a charming little boy. From the young age of five he began to articulate that he “did not want to be on this world”. Due to his extreme mental pain, he considered different forms of death and continued to express this goal throughout his young childhood years. As a teen, he was good looking, smart and had lots of friends and a supportive family. He was a creative thinker, young computer innovator and budding genius, and had a passion for coding for Firefox. He was not disobedient or disruptive, but simply played by his own rules.

Aliza had other children with learning challenges, attention issues, sensory issues, and sleep issues, but nothing was helpful in diagnosing Doni’s symptoms. “He was a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, surrounded by a question mark all the time”. He was diagnosed with extreme depression and bi polar at a young age which prevented any normal functioning and age appropriate learning.

Aliza and her husband tried everything they could do to treat Doni’s diagnosis. Going to psychologists and psychiatrists, having Doni live with his Grandma in a remote forest and even transferred Doni to a school with children having different learning styles didn’t change the fact that Doni’s death was expected.

Aliza came to accept and recognize that Doni was mentally terminally ill, which allowed her to reduce her constant overpowering and crippling worrying and be able to continue to function for the rest of the family and also be available for Doni as best she could.
Sometimes we forget to talk about how hard it is to be a loved one to somebody that is struggling so hard, and we simply may not be able to understand their mind. We might try to help and prevent them from injuring or killing themselves, but we may not be able to actually understand how to comfort them.

These topics are so important for us to be able to support the ones in our life that are going through this journey of suicide thoughts and conversations, suicide attempts, and actual death by suicide.

—————————————————————————

Topics Discussed:

❏ The importance of acknowledging and having an open communication about depression and mental
illnesses
❏ What is it like to have a child who has depression which leads to being suicidal
❏ Having the courage to acknowledge that depression is real and kids could even have it even on the
early stages of his life.

This week we are revisiting an old episode from last year because I find this interview to be so powerful that I wanted to bring it back to all of you. I had the special honor of connecting with Anne Moss, a mother, author, and founder of Emotionally Naked, a blog dedicated to her late son Charles Aubrey Rogers, who lost his life to suicide.

In this vulnerable interview, Anne recounts the last few years of her son’s life and shares openly with us about his mental health and drug addiction struggles that ultimately lead to his death by suicide. Anne graciously talks about the vivid facts that many of us shy away from, including the stigma that families face when in crisis to mental health, and the lack of support when dealing with drug addiction.

Anne’s book Diary of a Broken Mind, comes out in October of this year, and we will have her on again to share more tips and resources to those who have a loved one who is struggling or a loved one they have lost. But first, we wanted to shares Charles’s story and let you know that whether you are struggling yourself or if you have a loved one who is, you are not alone. We will break the stigma, one story at a time, and as always, together is better.

I can’t believe another month has gone, and I am so grateful for all the stories shared the last two months, where we learned so much about managing loss and grief. This month will be dedicated to discussing suicide awareness, and I’m so happy to have the first guest to discuss this topic, Marni Ratner.

Marni Ratner lost her husband to suicide in 2009 and suddenly became the breadwinner for her two children ages 3 and 7 at the time. Through early grief counseling and a large network of extended family and friends, her kids are now thriving young adult with her oldest recently going off to college. Eleven years after her husband’s death, Marni finds strength in mentoring new widows and is also a strong proponent of suicide prevention.

Marni has been active in several widow support groups, some formal organizations, and others more casual. The most memorable being as a founding member of a local group called 180 Your Life, which is more experience-focused and strives to embrace exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Their first event was training for the Athleta Irongirl Sprint Triathlon. Their team of young widows was sponsored by Athleta, who even outfitted the team with custom uniforms.

In this episode, Marni will share her thoughts on suicide after 11 years of reflection. I hope you find this conversation inspiring and motivates you to break the stigma about suicide.

Walking Through Transitions (Heather Parady)

Grief does not always have to be about death. Sometimes you grieve during transitions. Saying goodbye no matter if it is the passing of a person you loved, saying goodbye to an old job, or even making a change in your business, there are many levels and ways to grieve.

Today I am joined by Heather Parady, my previous podcast producer to discuss transitions and ways that we can reframe change. Saying goodbye and moving on is not saying things will be the same, but we can choose to see how we can grow in transitions and simply acknowledge that although things will be different, different is not always bad.

We also dig into the energetic and mindset side of saying goodbye. It may be easier doing the same things that we are used to doing, however with the unknown there can also be tremendous growth and blessings. So instead of avoiding change, sometimes we need to embrace it.

Topics Discussed:

The different ways we grieve in transitions.
The importance of trust in relationships.
Doing the uncomfortable in order to grow.

The past two months exploring the topic of grief has been incredibly eye-opening to me. What started as a journey to understand the process of losing someone has gifted me with more wisdom and hope than I ever could have imagined.

It never occurred to me how desperate people are for this topic. There are so many people who are struggling after loss and it was an amazing experience to facilitate conversations that brought hope. I am incredibly grateful for my guests for being vulnerable and adding so much insight on a topic that many people are unable or scared to address.

In this short episode, I share a few takeaways I have had in this time together. I also share with you about an exclusive episode we have with Malkie Gordon Hirsch about what it was like to plan and celebrate her son’s Bar Mitzvah right after the passing of her husband. You can check out that episode here (it is a POWERFUL one!

Topics Discussed:

My takeaways from the series on grief
The importance of living in the NOW and with no regret
Our exclusive conversation with Malkie and where to find it

After receiving a devastating diagnosis, Avrom Jacobs only had a few short months to prepare for the passing of his wife. Today my uncle joins us to share about his experience in grief and how he and his wife were able to make difficult decisions quickly, all while saying goodbye to each other.

Uncle Avrom and I begin this conversation sharing about his close marriage to my Aunt Laura, a kind, smiling, brilliant Doctor with a passionate vision and a long list of accomplishments and degrees, and the beautiful life they shared and family they raised. My husband Ari and I have a beautiful, close history and precious memories with this couple, from the start of our dating, throughout our marriage and raising our own family, and they both made an indelible and profound impact on our lives and the lives of our children. It was an honor to get to sit down with him today and learn from his wisdom of experiencing and navigating through such a profound loss.

Since he and his wife were only given a few months to prepare for her passing, they quickly made decisions for their family, children and businesses. Uncle Avrom shares how they were able to put their emotions to the side and make practical decisions and why he urges families to prepare early so they are not left in the same position they were in.

We also discuss the inevitable questions that you ask God after losing someone and how you are able to move on in the midst of sadness. Uncle Avrom shares such practical wisdom that I know you will enjoy as much as I did.

After experiencing the devastating loss of her husband in an accident that she personally witnessed, our guest this week went on a journey to not only work through her own grief, but also create a space for other women who had been through similar experiences to come together, heal, and experience personal GROWTH..

Today I am welcoming the host of The Widowed Mom podcast, and grief coach, Krista St. Germain to discuss the life she discovered after walking through traumatic loss and why she believes there is not only “life” after death, but there can also be happiness. She shares with us about the concept of “Post-Traumatic Growth” and how we can use that to infuse hope into our healing process.

Krista also shares with us how sometimes we use “numbness” as a protective shield and the importance for us to experience every emotion and work through it. She gives an unconventional perspective about how we can experience any emotion without allowing it to rule our life and still function in the midst of pain.

We also discuss the importance of staying present, moving past resistance, and making a choice on how we view ourselves through grief. This is a powerful conversation INFUSED by hope despite the fact it is centered around such a difficult topic. We hope this brings light to whatever circumstance you are going through and helps you to feel not as alone.

Lastly, we want to invite you to our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, where you will find a supportive community who will stand beside you in your mental health journey- because as always- together is BETTER!

One day, Malkie Gordon Hirsch received a phone call that would forever change her life. She was told that her husband had collapsed at work and had passed away. She was then left to not only navigate through her own grief but also try to help her five children process through the loss of their father.

This is part one of our two-part conversation where Malkie generously walks us through the first year of life after losing a spouse. She openly shares with us the importance of feeling pain, not numbing yourself to it’s grip, and the process of healing.

We discuss the difference between empathizing with someone and having “pity” over them and how important it is to show up in the RIGHT way for someone who is hurting. We also talk about how to be sensitive to your children’s needs and gently teaching them how to handle pain in their own way.

There is a lot of emotion in this episode and it may not be appropriate for those who are not ready to process everything that was said. Make sure you are in a place to really absorb not only this story but the wisdom that Malkie shares with us today. I know her story will impact your life.

If you need additional support in your mental health journey please connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge. We would love to hear what you thought about this episode and stand in your corner as you walk through your own struggles. Because as always, together is better!

After losing her husband, Maria Quiban decided to offer her story through her powerful book, You Can’t Do It Alone, where she shares insights on how to navigate grief as a caregiver and find the support that will carry you through your darkest of times.

Her book gave me so much clarity in my journey of learning about grief, and I am excited to introduce you to Maria, who is a successful meteorologist, mother, and has a powerful story that you will not soon forget.

Today we talk about why Maria and her husband were honest from the very beginning with their young three-year-old son about the fatal cancer diagnosis that his father had. She shares with us how we as parents can navigate difficult conversations with children in a language that they will understand. She also retells a powerful story about advice that Joe Biden gave her about his experience with grief.

We dig into the grief of receiving a diagnosis, how we can hold on to hope through pain, and what it looks like to balance ‘hoping for the best’ and letting go. Maria also gives fantastic insight on how to be a support to a loved one who is passing all why finding support as a caregiver so you are not left depleted.

Maria shares that this journey is one that she can look back on with gratitude and we hope that as you navigate your own grief journey her words bring you hope. If you are looking for a community to lock arms with please find us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge. As always, together is better.

Grief is incredibly difficult to process through and understand. Navigating through the grief of losing a child is something that could potentially destroy someone. We have a returning guest, the incredible Anne Moss Rogers who sheds light on the hope found within grief and the process of healing after losing a child to death by suicide.

If you have not listened to our first conversation, I encourage you to listen to Anne Moss’ full story about the life of her son Charles, and the journey her and her family went through battling her son’s mental illnesses and addictions.

We pick up where we left off and discuss the topic of grief and hear about Anne Moss’ healing journey. We discuss the “rhythms of grief”, how she has used writing as a way to process pain, letting go of the blame and guilt that surrounds suicide, and how she has been able to rediscover joy in her life.

We hope this conversation brings hope to you as you walk through your own grief, or answers your questions if you are supporting someone who is walking through it. We would love to hear from you and answer any questions that you have. Please find us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better!

To kick off our month discussing the topic of grief I have two incredibly special guests that are dear to my heart to discuss this topic from the perspective of two daughters who lost a very loving mother.

Many of you have heard me mention a dear friend of mine named Holly, who we unfortunately lost way too soon several years ago. I had the honor of interviewing her two beautiful daughters to discuss this very vulnerable topic of grief and hear how they have navigated through the process of losing someone so special to them.

We not only hear about the story of their mom, and what it was like losing her but we also hear their perspective about what they have learned through this experience and how they are using it to inform their day to day life and welcome gratitude in.

We hope that this conversation sheds a hopeful light on grief and gives you the tools to overcome any grief that you may be experiencing. Also if you are like me, and have many questions about grief, we hope this conversation answers some of your questions about how you can move forward after losing someone.

If you need any additional support in your mental health journey, we would love to be your tribe. Find us on Facebook, Hope to Recharge, where you will find a community of like minded individuals. As always, together is better!

We hope that you enjoyed last month’s conversations centered around self-love! This year is FLYING by and as we enter into the last half of 2020 I want to take some time to discuss with you the topic of grief and shine a light on how to say goodbye to the person or experience we are grieving in a healthy and healing way.

In today’s episode, I share with you why this topic is so dear to my heart. Although I have not personally experienced grief in the sense of losing someone close to me unexpectedly, I recently experienced a deep fear of the unknown of grief. I have so many questions about it and have realized that I know little about the topic.

I have been spending week’s researching it and talking to others about what grief is and how we overcome it. I am going to share these conversations with you and we are going to dig in together and learn more about the inevitable events that we will all one day face and explore how we can get through them the best way that we can.

I also have learned that there are many forms of grief and even if you have not experienced the loss of someone you still have experienced grief. We hope this month brings you HOPE that you can overcome more than you may think and that there is always hope. Please connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better.

Why Self-Love is the Path to Healing (Fally Klein)

Do you love yourself enough to take three deep breaths, three times a day? We are wrapping up our series on Self-Love with a life-changing conversation about why practices even as small as taking deep breaths can be the foundation to our mental health. .

Most of us have been in quarantine over the last several months and have been left alone with ourselves for the first time in a long time. This experience has forced us in a position to look long and hard at ourselves and come face to face with the reality of who we are and how we treat ourselves.

We have a returning guest, and listener favorite leading the conversation, Fally Klein. Fally shares with us why this opportunity is a GIFT and how we can use this time to open our eyes to the way we treat ourselves and begin to shift unhealthy behaviours. She reminds us that no matter how much love other people give you- if you do not love yourself you will not FEEL love. Everything starts from within.

She reminds us that you can only love yourself to healing and that by doing so the right relationships and people will be attracted into your life. Although this process takes time, it will be worth it! She also walks us through very practical practices that we can use to experience self-love.

We hope this conversation encourages you that love is not something that simply happens- it’s something that you create. We would love to be your tribe in your mental health journey. Find us on Facebook, Hope to Recharge -because as always, together is better!

Do you ever feel as though you need an EMOTIONAL detox? Often we are carrying so many unprocessed emotions that we walk around feeling overwhelmed and even confused by all that we are feeling. Today we have an expert on all things emotional detox, Sherianna Boyle.

Sherianna specializes in the “Cleanse” method that she uses to help her clients process through and detox unprocessed emotions. Today she explains her seven-step process and shares with us how judging and resisting emotions can keep us stuck and interfere with our mental health and growth.

We dig into what Sherianna calls “emotional suppression” and how we should view our emotions not as the enemy, but rather as nutrients that we need to fully develop and be mentally strong. She walks us through an energetic understanding of emotions and how energy is simply “movement”.

We also walk through an actual exercise where Sherianna helps me detox one of my emotions through a simple process that only takes about ten minutes! You get to hear the exercise and the results that I had live on the show– it’s astounding!

We hope this conversation gives you another tool in your tool kit for combatting your own mental struggles. Know that we are all walking through this together and as Sherianna reminds us, we need to “cleanse” everyday! Find us on our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge and let us know what you think about today’s episode. As always, together is better!

Many people come to me looking for a quick fix to resolve some of their mental health struggles. The first thing I always ask them, regardless of their situation is, “Do you know you are worthy of being healed?” More often than not, they respond, “I don’t know.”

This month, we have been talking exclusively about the idea of loving yourself and being your own advocate. The deeper I go into my own healing journey, The more convinced I become that this is the first step and foundation of true mental wellness. However many of us have never been taught or developed the SKILL of putting ourselves first and practicing regular self-care.

In today’s solo episode, I share with you my own self-love practice and break down many myths surrounding loving and accepting yourself. Until we practice self-love it is VERY hard to heal and we have to learn to accept ourselves FULLY, even in the midst of deep pain.

I break down my morning routine, weekly “thank you” gifts to myself, and how these small acts can champion the deep inner healing that many of us are seeking. We also talk about how to be more self-aware and recognize when we are saying “no” to ourselves too often and “yes” too much to others.

I also want you to know that we never “arrive” and will always be learning and growing in this area. We would love to be your support system as you practice self love! Find us in our private community “Hope to Recharge” by searching for us on Facebook. Also if you have your own self- love practices we would love to hear them! Because as always, together is better!

Self-Acceptance and Learning to Love Yourself (Dr. Jane Tornatore)

This month we are talking about the practice of self-love. In theory you may be drawn to the idea of implementing self-care routines and learning to love yourself, however it is often more difficult to practice than we anticipate. Sometimes it is easy to compare yourself to others and be your own worst critic.

Today I have the honor of introducing you to Dr. Jane Tornatore who shares with us her own journey of letting go of perfectionism and learning to love her-self despite all the “imperfections” that she saw.

Dr. Tornatore is a therapist and author and helps her clients reframe how they view “healing” and helps them rewrite unhealthy belief systems. She challenges the notion that there is anything inherently “wrong” with us and encourages us to lean more into who we are and love ourselves unapologetically.

Today we break down how we can find the courage to be more human, understand the deep rooted belief patterns that we developed as children and how they are affecting us today, and understand where judgment of ourselves and others comes from.

I know that you will love this interview as much as I enjoyed talking with Dr. Tornatore. We hope that these tips empower you to begin the practice of loving yourself and if you are already on the journey of self-compassion we hope this amplifies your efforts, because you are worth it.

Please connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge for more tips and support. Because as always, together is better!

As mothers we are always putting others before ourselves and serving our families in ways that often go unseen. We are also wearing many other hats and putting ourselves continually on the back-burner and sometimes even neglecting our own mental health.

Today we have the honor of hearing from Dr. Claire Nicogossian as she shares with us how we can practice proper self-care as mommas and why it is so vitally important.

Dr. Claire Nicogossian is a clinical psychologist, author, and mother of four girls. She knows first hand the stress that comes with motherhood and she is able to couple that along with her knowledge of psychology to help moms practice self-compassion.

In this episode, we dive into the different layers of being a mom, how we can properly cope with stress, not feel guilty practicing self-care, and how to put our mental health as a priority. We also discuss how to move past feelings of “unworthiness” and why there is no measure of worth for the work that we do as moms.

Dr. Claire encourages us that it is OKAY to have feelings of overwhelm and what you are experiencing as a mom may be more common than you think. She gives us some helpful advice on how we can deal with our “shadow” emotions and why we must communicate with our loved ones what our boundaries are.

We hope this episode encourages you to practice self-care and show compassion for yourself as a mother. We are here for you and would love to connect in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better!

Breaking the Stigma around Self-Love (1 Year Celebration)

We are celebrating one full YEAR of Hope to Recharge and I have learned so much over the past hundred episodes! Before embarking on this journey, I thought I knew a lot about mental health, but after interviewing so many experts and hearing others’ stories, I realized how much more there is to learn, and how REAL the stigma around mental health really is.

Sometimes knowledge is everything. There is not enough education about mental health, how to heal, and the hope that we do have. This was an amazing year, but there is still so much work to do. Thank you for your support up to this point, but let’s lock arms and make the next one-hundred episodes even more impactful for those who desperately need hope.

To lay the foundation for healing we are going to spend the next month digging into the topic of Self-Love. If we do not have a foundation of self-love our healing journey will be much more difficult. Sometimes we resist the idea of loving ourselves because it sounds “selfish” or self-absorbed. However, the truth is, until we believe that we are worthy of healing we will not fight for ourselves.

If you need additional support (we all do!) find us on Facebook, Hope to Recharge. We have a private community who will stand in your corner and support you in your healing journey. Because as always, together is better!

Sometimes life hits you with events that will literally bring you to your knees. Even if you have never struggled with mental health issues before, you can find yourself in a dark place very quickly and struggle with thoughts that might surprise you.

Today we are joined by my friend Christian Hampshire as he shares with us about his struggle with mental health and why he openly talks about his experience with suicidal ideation in hope to break the stigma around mental illness and help others to not feel alone.

Christain found himself a few years ago with a dark depression and considering taking his own life after losing his job and struggling with drinking. Although he was an avid athlete and accomplishing physical challenges that many of us could only dream of, he still was left wondering if his family would be better off without him.

Today he shares with us how he was able to pull himself out of that dark place and why he is now passionate about sharing his story in order to help others who may be struggling as well. We discuss what family members can do for their loved ones who are hurting and how we can find the “controlables” in our own lives to improve our mental health.

This is a powerful story that I cannot wait to share with you. If you or someone you love are struggling with thoughts of suicide please find the suicide helplines below. If you need additional support in your mental health journey we would also love for you to be a part of our private Facebook group Hope to Recharge. As always, Together is Better.

Do you ever feel like you need to change who you are in order to fit into the rest of the world? Have you ever dealt with feeling “unseen” by those around you and struggle with a sense of belonging? This week we are with the incredible Jen Gotch who shares with us why there is an “upside” to being down.

Jen is the co-founder of the multi-million dollar business ban.do and credits her mental health struggles to some of the successes she has had in her business and in life. In today’s conversation she opens up about her personal relationships and how they have influenced her mental health journey.

We discuss the signs of being a highly sensitive individual and how we can use these qualities to enrich our lives. Jen shares why she believes that mental health struggles don’t just stem from one isolated event but rather are an accumulation of several factors in our lives.

We also dive into finding your purpose, aligning with your truth, and establishing healthy boundaries within your life. Jen encourages us to “pay attention” to what the universe is trying to tell us and lean into what feels right for YOU.

We hope this episode encourages you to find light at the end of any tunnel you may find yourself in and discover the “upside” of being down. Connect with us in our private facebook group, Hope to Recharge so we can support you in your mental health journey. Because as always, Together is Better.

Breaking the STIGMA around Bipolar (Sara Benbassat)

What is it like to live with Bipolar? If you are struggling with a mental illness it can feel incredibly isolating because of the stigma attached to your diagnosis. Today we have an incredible guest, Sara Benbassat, who generously shares her story in order to break the shame around Bipolar and humanize the experience that many people face.

One of the goals of Hope to Recharge is to break the stigma around mental illness. As Sara mentions in today’s episode, mental struggles are more common than we may like to admit and it is likely that if you do not struggle personally, there is someone in your family that does. One of the ways that we can break the stigma is to hold space for the experiences and stories of others.

Sara shares about the mental health climate in London where she lives and what it was like when she first started experiencing signs of her illness. She walks us through her journey of having psychotic episodes, being admitted into a hospital, and the pain of being taken away from her daughter.

We walk through navigating relationships and discovering your identity after experiencing trauma. Sara also talks about the process of forgiving and giving yourself grace during difficult times. As she says, “everything is a process” and although the journey can be long, you do not have to suffer in silence.

We hope this story brings you clarity about the diagnosis of Bipolar whether you are walking through it yourself or you have a loved one who is. The journey does not have to be walked through alone. We would love to support you. Simply head over to Facebook and type in “Hope to Recharge” and you will find our private community. Because as always, together is better!

Today is a milestone episode that is being celebrated in a very special way. We have been discussing gratitude extensively on the podcast for one year and to close up our season of “Attitude of Gratitude” we are hearing from THE authority on gratitude, Dr. Robert Emmons.

For over 20 years Dr. Emmons has researched, taught, and wrote about the topic of gratitude concluding simply that, “Gratitude Works”. In our conversation he shares with us how an assignment to study gratitude changed the course of his own life and gave him the opportunity to understand one of the most powerful tools that we have available to us right now.

He shares that, “Gratitude is the truest approach to life” and we can CHOOSE to walk in gratitude no matter what our circumstances. He believes that “Gratitude energizes and shapes the future” and actually “frees” us in our day-to-day life. We also discuss the routine of gratitude and how we can develop the habit while our lives are already so busy.

We hope that you enjoyed this episode and loved this series of Attitude of Gratitude as much as we have. Moving forward we are going to be focusing heavily on building our community. Find us on Facebook at Hope to Recharge. As always, together is better!

Join us today as we are celebrating ONE HUNDRED episodes of our show! This journey has been incredible and the way my own mindset around mental health has evolved has been life changing.

Today I tell more of my personal journey and share a couple of stories that I have never told publicly before. I want to be transparent about the process of breaking the stigma in my own life in order to empower you to release the shame you may have about your own mental health journey.

We dive in deep to topics around belonging, processing through difficult emotions, and the identity shifts that many of us face as we evolve through the years. If you struggle with feeling alone or wonder if you can live more authentically, I hope these stories help you to fully be yourself and feel a sense of community.

I also share with you about our vision moving forward and how we plan to serve this community at a deeper level. We would love to hear your thoughts and invite you to be a part of our tribe. Simple type in “Hope to Recharge” on Facebook and you will find us.

After diving into my own story and walking with you over these past one hundred episodes, I am more convinced than ever that together is truly better.

As we approach our 100th episode I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate our milestone Attitude of Gratitude by interviewing someone who I credit for my gratitude practice, my own father.

As I have mentioned on the show before my parents raised my siblings and I to look for and express gratitude on a daily basis. As an adult I am incredibly grateful for this being instilled in me, because as we discuss on the show, gratitude enriches your life in every way.

Today my father shares with us the origins of his gratitude practice, including stories about his father which created a legacy of gratitude in our family. We also talk about why he believes that practicing gratitude is like a “dinosaur” and the responsibility we have to carry on the practice and train our children to be grateful.

He says, “The world is in search of people who demonstrate gratitude” and we hope this episode not only encourages you to continue your own practice but to also train your children in the importance of gratitude.

We would love to hear from you! Did you parents teach you gratitude? How are you training your children to be grateful? Find us in our private Facebook group Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better!

What voices do you listen to? There are voices we carry with us as a result of trauma or heartache that can be difficult to silence. Sometimes these voices dictate aspects of our lives and the decisions that we make. How can we tune in and listen to the voice of truth about who we truly are?

Today I have the honor of introducing you to J.S. Park, a hospital chaplain and author who is passionate about holding space for the pain of others and guiding us to Hope. Joon (J.S) shares with us about his draw toward working with those who are hurting and how his own healing came about as a result from helping others.

We talk about finding self-love and compassion for yourself and how we can balance this with self-growth. We also discuss our hesitancy to “live out loud” and how we can align ourselves with who we feel called to be. Joon also shares with us his tips of navigating anxiety and how we can find “glimpses” of hope throughout our day.

This is a powerful episode that I promise you do not want to miss. Please connect with us in our private Facebook group Hope to Recharge and let us know your thoughts about these topics. We would love to hear how you show yourself compassion and silence the voices in your own mind that are not serving you. As always, together is better!

This past week has been especially difficult. We have been navigating a hectic schedule coming out of Passover and adjusting to life at home during Covid-19. In today’s episode I am going to share with you about a powerful moment where it was brought to my attention about something special I could be grateful for.

With the stress and anxiety that many of us are facing it is easy for us to overlook the daily support that we are receiving from our loved ones. From our partners pitching in more, children helping each other, friends bringing us a smile, or parents who are calling in more often, there are so many moments and relationships to be grateful for.

Right now we need more connection than ever. I want to encourage you to take the time today to not only pause and acknowledge those you are grateful for but to also take the time to express your gratitude to them. There is always something to be grateful for and it is so therapeutic. I invite you to hang out with gratitude today!

We hope this episode encourages you that you are not alone. If you need more support please find us on Facebook, Hope to Recharge. We would love to be there for you during this difficult time. As always, Together is Better!

What IS trauma? How can we better understand it in order to heal and move forward in our lives? Today we have a timely episode with an incredible guest who shares with us why trauma looks different person to person and why it is so important to look at the individual when looking for means of healing. I have the honor of introducing to you today the one and only, Dr. Pelcovitz.

Dr. Pelcovitz is a clinical psychologist who has spent his entire career teaching and conducting research on a variety of mental health topics including today’s topic, trauma. He shares with us the definition of trauma and how there are many individualistic variables in how we interpret and heal from our own personal trauma.

In this powerful interview we dive into topics like how to build resilience, the importance of receiving and giving “non-judgemental” support, and why he believes there is always hope. We also dig into the importance of educating loved ones on the topic of trauma, the importance of “desirable difficulties”, and why he believes mental health issues have been on the rise.

We hope this conversation sheds light on the difficulties you or your loved ones have faced and gives you hope that there is healing and we can experience a new tomorrow.

This week we released an episode with Dr. Frier on the topic of grief. I decided to release the episode a little earlier than we had planned because of all the grief we are collectively experiencing through the coronavirus.

Although I have not personally experienced the loss of someone very close to me, I have been thinking so much about the topic and have many questions around grief. The main question that I have been contemplating is, “Can we practice gratitude while we are grieving?”

Today I explore this topic with you and share with you what I am learning as I listen to podcasts, explore scripture, and speak with friends who have experienced deep loss. Although I am still processing through this, there are some interesting conclusions that I have come to that I share with you today.

We also dig into why we should not speed grief or compare losses. And how grief can actually accelerate gratitude, which doesn’t mean the pain goes away, we simply find meaning in the pain.

What are your thoughts on this topic? How do you conceptualize the topics of grief and gratitude? Find us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge and let us know. As always, together IS better!

Losing someone you love can feel unbearable. Walking through grief and navigating the emotions that come up even years after your loss is a journey unlike anything you will experience in this life. When the loved one that you lose is a child, the grief can be overwhelming. Today I had the honor of connecting with Dr. Eric Fier, a psychiatrist who not only understands grief from a professional standpoint, but also a deep personal level.

Dr. Fier joins us in this episode to share his powerful story of losing his daughter, how he conceptualized the process of grief, and how he brings life and hope to the topic of loss. He says after he received his daughter’s diagnosis, he knew he had to “reconceptualize everything” and the conclusions that he came to about the purpose of life and death is unlike anything I have heard before.

In this conversation we not only hear this moving story but also dive in deep to how to find “joy in pain”, embracing challenges by seeing the “opportunities”, how pain is “not relative”, and why we should never say “why me” but instead say “what now”. We also have a beautiful conversation about nature and the implications of stopping, being still and hearing what the world is “singing to you”.

We hope this interview brings you hope if you are experiencing or have experienced a loss, or perhaps if someone you love is grieving we hope this conversation may bring you some insight on how to better understand them. As Dr. Fier mentions in this episode, everyone’s journey is different and there isn’t necessarily “closure” to losing someone.

We would love to hear from you! Connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge, if you have thoughts around this topic or need additional support. As always, together is better!

This is a special week as we enter into Passover. It is allowing me to reflect deeply on the meaning of the holiday and all the little things that I have to be grateful for. Today I share with you about the moments of gratitude I have found and the importance of leaning into the “small things” that will completely change your perspective.

Usually on Passover I have twenty to thirty people over to my home, but in light of the pandemic that is sweeping the world, we just have those who live in my house which I am actually excited about. Last night as we gathered in the kitchen I was reflecting on everything I have to be grateful for and the abundance that is around me.

Even with everything going on, I encourage you to find the small things in your day. Your gratitude will begin to amplify. Even around holidays, in the midst of all the work, let us lead with a full heart and enter into our celebrations with gratitude.

What about you? What are the small things in your life that you are so grateful for right now? How are you celebrating the holiday? Find us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge and share with us what is going on in your world! As always, together is better.

Sometimes the trauma that we carry is completely unconscious. At times this trauma can affect not only our mental health but also our physical health. Today we connected with the incredible Fally Klein, who is a hypnotherapist, author, and breathwork practitioner who will help us uncover another powerful tool in our healing journey.

After walking through a diagnosis and recovering from cancer as a teenager Fally was introduced to the concept of energy and the power of the subconscious. Fally shares what it was like to navigate the emotions and stigma that came from having cancer at such a young age and what she learned from it as a result. She experienced a miraculous healing that she believes set her on a path that she was destined to travel.

Today we dig into powerful topics like, how resilience factors into our healing, paying attention to the “signs” in our life that are trying to lead us in a certain direction, and how hypnotherapy can bring healing much quicker than we think. She also shares about her work as a sex therapist and how she is able to work with clients who may have unconscious sexual trauama.

Lastly we talk about how through years of experience with hypnotherapy she found her “home” when she discovered breathwork. She says that breath is the most “powerful nutrient” in our body and how we can reap its benefits through simple daily practices.

We would LOVE to hear from you! What do you think about this episode and how will you use the tools and resources that Fally shared with us today? Connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better!

After dealing with my own sickness this week, I was reminded of the power of gratitude. Today I share with you about my own journey of “saying goodbye” to my sadness.

There was one day specifically that was really hard for me. We have several friends who are losing loved ones and even sick themselves. I found myself going into a dark sadness. I allowed myself that time to hold space for those emotions. At the end of the day, I realized that I needed to shift out of that sadness for my own well being, so I had to say goodbye.

There is a time and place for everything. I even thanked my sadness because it has a purpose in life as well. I realized more than ever that I have the power to choose. Sometimes we need to choose sadness and other times we need to say goodbye to it. We have to leave the dark places and choose gratitude.

What about you? Have you allowed space for sadness? How are you processing through what is going on into the world? We would love to hear from you and be a part of your community! Find us on Facebook, Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better!

My Poem:

Tonight I decided:

To say goodbye to sadness,

To thank it for coming in to hold space for my pain, for existing when I need comfort and support.

For letting me practice the concept of holding space for others’ pain, for understanding how life is so unpredictable, for giving us time to process.

Now it’s time for me to welcome light and joy,

To focus on my blessings,

To continue counting my blessings,

To invite much more blessing and healing into the world,

So I can beg God to send healing light through gratitude and not through pain and anger.

So my kids can be happy when mommy is happy,

So I can focus on my inner strength and continuing to stay mentally healthy,

I now choose to live with abundance and not sadness.

I choose to welcome the bigger meaning behind something I don’t understand instead of being frustrated that I don’t understand.

I am grateful that I have a choice.

A choice to choose happiness.

A choice to smile about what is right here, right now.

A choice to live this very moment with love and happiness.

A choice to bring comfort to my broken heart.

A choice to accept that I don’t understand and I probably will never understand everything and that is okay.

A choice to send much love and hope through energy when I cannot do it physically.

A choice to turn to God for love like a little girl wanting a hug from Daddy when she feels scared.

A choice to be ok.

I’m smiling and crying and that’s OK!

I’m welcoming lots of inner strength.

TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY.

With Lots of love

Matana

My guest this week, Mark West says he believes that we “all have a runner in us”. Mark is a long distance runner and mental health advocate who is using his platform to not only encourage everyone to adapt a running routine into their life but do so to improve their mental health.

Today we learn about a tragic accident that sparked Mark’s passion for running and how fitness was later used to help him when he started struggling with depression and anxiety.

We talk about the metaphor that running represents in mental health, allowing us to literally (and figuratively) put “one foot in front of the other” and view the “hills” in our lives as opportunities for growth. We also talk about what it has been like to be a high achieving male and be so vocal about his mental health when the stigma around men and mental illness is very real.

Mark also shares a POWERFUL insight on why walking and running might be a better option to talk to people who are struggling than “going for a coffee”. He shares about how this journey has opened his eyes to the importance of empathy and the need for us to discover “what works for us”.

This was such a profound episode with many insights about mental health and opens the conversation about the variety of ways that we can find healing. However we want to hear from YOU! Do you use running or fitness as a way to cope with your mental health struggles? Find us on Facebook (Hope to Recharge) and let us know! Because as always…together is BETTER!

Why am I talking about gratitude? Why is my tone so upbeat? When there is so much uncertainty in the world, when so many people are afraid, I truly believe this is when gratitude is most important and key to shifting our mindset during all the uncertainty.

This doesn’t mean that the pain doesn’t exist. However when we tap into our gratitude (and there is always something to be grateful for!) it gives us a moment to disconnect from fear. Gratitude is like a blanket of comfort during the darkest of times.

Sometimes the outside world is our security. When it seems to be crumbling down, gratitude is what shifts us from a state of stress to a place of calm. Today I walk you through the good we have in our lives right now and how we can (and should) be increasing our gratitude practice.

I also wanted to share with you a story about a woman I met at Walmart and how important it is for us to show kindness and gratitude to those around us. I want to challenge you to be a light when the world seems to be in darkness. Now more than ever we need to be that light.

We would love to hear from you! Find us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, and let us know what you are grateful for during this time. As always, together is better!

Today we are digging into how we can better understand our emotions, improve our mood, and gain control of our thoughts! We have the perfect person to guide us in this conversation, my friend and incredibly accomplished therapist, Elisheva Liss.

Elishiva shares with us about why she was originally drawn to the mental health field and what she has found in her years of research and countless hours spent counseling individuals and couples. She breaks down for us the process of narrative therapy and how we can rewire the way we think and view our ever changing emotions.

She shares with us about the “triangle of relationships”, why we should never “gloss over” our emotions, and why there are times that we do NOT need to have “positive” thoughts (instead opt in for “healthy” ones). She also shares with us a few techniques that we can start using today (like the “but” technique!) that will help us to better frame our thoughts and ultimately improve our mood.

We end the conversation with a powerful dialogue about relationships and how we can use this information to deepen our connection with not only ourselves but with those we love. I know you are going to learn so much from this conversation with Elishiva. Please connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, and let us know what you learned! As always, together is better!

In the midst of the coronavirus crisis, I wanted to come to you today and talk about the role of gratitude during this stressful time. Like you, I am balancing work, children, being home, and navigating my own mental health while the world is in a panic. I wanted to share with you how gratitude is helping me get through this difficult time.

Gratitude shifts our energy. Not only individually but it also has an impact on our energy collectively. Even if you just take thirty seconds today to feel gratitude you will make an impact in our collective energy (which we desperately need!). Fear is more dangerous right now than any virus. Now more than ever it is important for us to take care of each other and our own mental health.

I also wanted to remind you that anything can change instantly. We have seen how quickly things have shifted to tragedy. In the same sense, I want to present the idea that things can change for the good very quickly as well. We need to remember how lucky we are and how beautiful life was before. Take a look back and embrace how much we had to be grateful for.

We are living in the best time of technology. Let’s use it to our advantage! Get online therapy, connect with an old friend, and find us on Facebook! We have an incredible community which you can easily find by typing in “Hope to Recharge” in your search bar. As always, together is better!

If you are trying to balance being a mom, a wife, working, and trying to have somewhat of a social life, it can be overwhelming. It may even be tempting to look at someone else’s life and wonder how they are balancing it all so well.

Today I had the honor of connecting with the host of the Mom to Wife Plus Life podcast, Jennifer Reed, to hear about her journey of “balancing it all’ while navigating the ups and downs of her and her husband’s mental health.

Jennifer generously shares with us her story of coming out of a domestic violent marriage, struggling with “mom guilt”, navigating her husband’s PTSD, and also feeling pressure to have everything figured out. She wants to encourage other moms and wives that sometimes “life is hard” and that’s okay!

In this episode we talk about why we don’t have to always “fix” what’s broken, learning how to disconnect and be present, the importance of self-care, and why you SHOULD be talking to yourself!

We hope this episode encourages you that you do not have to have it all figured out and that we are all in this together. Please connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, and let us know your thoughts. As always, together is better!

Today we are coming to you with a bonus episode to address the anxiety you may be feeling over the Coronavirus. We are going through a difficult time globally, however we are also connecting in a beautiful way. There is so much support in the world and that is bringing us together.

Although we are not as scared of the virus, many of us are terrified of the implications of the global fear. I want to share with you in this episode not only a new perspective on how to view this crisis but also the implications it may have on our mental health.

There are many things that we can do to be productive during this time. There is so much that we can access here and now instead of consuming ourselves with the unknown. We live a life that is so fast. We are having an opportunity now to stop and pause to not only be with our families and learn something new, but also be able to tune in and grow inwardly.

At times of crisis we have an opportunity to draw in closer and grow together. We need to use this opportunity to tune in, be with our families, and be a role model of what it looks like to come out of the other side of a crisis shining.

We would love to connect with you! We want to support you during this time. Find us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better!

In today’s episode of Attitude of Gratitude I want to share a story with you about an incredible act of kindness that I received last week and the ripple effect that it had not only on my life but in the lives of others.

I truly believe that random acts of kindness can become extraordinary moments in our lives with powerful lessons within them. I am starting to feel like one of the luckiest people in the world due to the mentors in my life, and that includes a recent stranger that I met named Kelly, who provided a powerful lesson for me on kindness and gratitude

I want to inspire you to go a little further in your gratitude and trace back how kindness has affected many moments along the way and pay it forward. Remember how you felt when you received kindness and pay it forward to someone else. There is so much to be grateful for!

We hope this encourages you on your mental health journey! Find us on Facebook at Hope to Recharge! We have an amazing tribe of people who would love to be a support to you. As always, together is better!

How FOOD Affects Your Mental Health with Dr. Selena Bartlett

Can what we eat have a drastic effect on our mental health? Is it possible to heal our brains and be able to rewire years of conditioning through things like changing our diet? We are bringing a favorite on the show Dr. Selena Barlett, back for her third appearance to discuss the implications our diet has on our mental health.

Dr. Barlett is a neuroscientist, with a background as a pharmacist and has an intimate story about how she and her family were deeply affected by mental illness. Make sure you check out episode seven and episode seventeen where we dig into Selena’s story as well as a deep dive into the topic of neuroplasticity.

In today’s episode we address how food, specifically sugar, not only affects our mood but also has addictive components comparable to alcohol and drugs. Selena shares with us again about rethinking how we view “mental health” and understanding how “brain health” or “brain fitness” is really what we are after.

Selena teaches us about the link between stress and food consumption and how we are self medicating through sugar and how we can actively retrain our brains to handle stress in a healthier way. As she advises, stress will not “go away” so we have to learn how to handle it in a different way.

We want to encourage you that none of us were trained on how to properly take care of our brains, and our culture reinforced addictive eating behaviors. However, there IS hope! Selena says that she believes neuroplacility is our “greatest hope” and that it is never too late to develop new habits and rewire our brains, which will help us not only to cope with things like depression and anxiety, but possibly even eliminate it.

We would love to be your support in your mental health journey! Please connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better!

As Brene Brown says, “There is never joy without gratitude, they are both connected!” I have been experiencing that a lot lately. So I decided on today’s episode of Attitude of Gratitude, not to teach about gratitude like we normally do, but instead PRACTICE gratitude with you, the listener. Are you ready?

Whether it was taking the time to listen every week, leave a review, write a comment, or give me a suggestion on how to make this show better. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. I wanted to spend a moment and share with you what your support means to me.

Thank you for trusting in my voice, my thoughts, my journey, and allowing me to share in my experiences so that I can help others. We are all in this together, I cannot do it alone.

I also am going to share a challenge with you for the next week where you too can practice gratitude and pay it forward. The more kindness and gratitude we can spread in this world the better it will be. Find us over on Facebook, Hope to Recharge, and share with us what you are grateful for this week. As always, together is better.

Do you ever feel trapped? Like there is no way out of the difficult situation you are in? This week we are talking about the power of choice, the importance of understanding our self worth, and getting out of toxic and even abusive relationships.

In today’s episode I had the honor of connecting with Angeline Mitchell who is on a mission to help men and women become unstuck and break the silence around abusive relationships. She is also a coach and the host of Let’s Break the Silence and Take Your Life Back Podcast and she uses these platforms to help her audience “unleash their personal power.”

Angeline shares with us her story of healing from a relationship of domestic violence and the critical moment in her life where she “drew a line in the sand” and decided that she deserved more in her life. She believes that building confidence was key in her journey and we discuss how we can build confidence through practices like gratitude, affirmations, and surrounding yourself with the right mentors.

We hope this episode encourages you that even if you feel stuck you are not. As Angeline shares, “We all have choices.” If you feel alone or need extra encouragement please connect with us in our private Facebook Community, Hope to Recharge. Together is ALWAYS better!

Last week was an incredibly difficult week. My youngest child was very sick and there were several things going on in my personal life that made the week very challenging. Several times it felt as though I was at a breaking point, so I used gratitude to recharge and help ease me through anxiety and sleep deprivation.

But that’s not what this episode is about…

I wanted to share with you an exercise that I did right after the week was over, my son was back at school, and things had calmed down. I carved out time to intentionally sit down and reflect on the week and find sixty things that I was grateful for in the MIDST of the struggle.

Going through this exercise was so impactful that someone else even noticed that my energy was higher and that I was in a state of peace. Why should we stop and reflect on hard times and find gratitude afterwards? In this episode of attitude of gratitude, we dig in deep to the benefits of this practice and give tips on how you can implement this into your day.

What about you!? We would love to hear your thoughts about this practice or if you have any tips of your own concerning gratitude. We are all learning and growing together! You can easily access our community by finding our private Facebook group, “Hope to Recharge” because as always, together is better!

Happiness’ Role in Mental Health (Dr. Tal Ben Shahar)

What is happiness? Is it something that we earn? Something that is dependent on outside circumstances? Is it something that we can experience even in the midst of mental health struggles? This week I had the incredible honor of connecting with someone that I have looked up to for a long time, the co-founder of Happiness Studies Academy, author, and Harvard lecturer Dr. Tal Ben Shahar.

Dr. Tal shares with us about what research has found out about happiness and what we can do to add more of it into our lives. He shares with us the importance of healthy relationships and how the quality of these connections matter more to our happiness than outward success and achievement. He shares that the happiest countries in the world have been found to place more emphasis on relationships and how we can use this information to draw closer to the people in our lives.

He also shares with us his own story of struggling with unhappiness and how his deep inward journey led him into his life’s work. Dr. Tal has concluded that happiness is not a destination, rather it is a journey that we are all on and states that we can live in it no matter what our circumstances are. He also lets us in on what the five elements of happiness are and why goals are simply the “means to the end”.

We also talk about happiness through the lens of mental health struggles and Dr. Tal gives a compelling case of why some level of ‘crisis” is needed for “significant growth”. He shares with us the difference between sadness and depression and why the first step to happiness is “embracing unhappiness”. Dr. Tal also gives a few practices that we can implement daily to increase our happiness.

I learned so much in this interview and I am so excited to get to share it with you. What do you think about the topic of happiness? What stood out to you about the research that Dr. Shahar shared? We would love to hear from you! Find us in our private Facebook group Hope to Recharge because as always- together is better!

Today we are going to talk about being grateful in the midst of disappointment. In the past, when I was expecting something, or excited about an upcoming event, I would be extremely disappointed if it didn’t work out. It would actually affect my mood to a point where I would get into a very negative place.

After practicing mindfulness, I slowly started to rewire my mind that when I now experience disappointment I can actually experience GRATITUDE in the midst of it. Why? Because I have seen that often when something doesn’t happen the way that I expected, it is actually a blessing in disguise.

Even if I cannot see it in the moment, I know that there is something bigger at play that is making things move in my favor. I have had to learn how to trust God and know that all things are working out in my favor.

Again as we have talked about before when discussing gratitude, this is a muscle that we have to build and develop. Experiencing disappointment is hard. However often there is nothing we can do, so we have to ask ourselves how we can bring positivity into the situation.

What about you? How do you handle disappointment? What from this episode will you start to practice and implement into your life? Let us know! We have a thriving Facebook community we would love to invite you to. Search for us at Hope to Recharge. As always, together is better!

Holistic Approach to Our Emotions (Zahraa Surtee)

Are there “good” emotions and “bad” emotions? Should we push away feelings of sadness or anger and seek to immediately replace them with more “acceptable” ways to feel? How about our mental health? Should we admit when we are struggling or hold back our struggles in order to not burden those around us?

This week we are talking with the incredible Zahraa Surtee who is a mental health therapist committed to educating others about emotions and breaking the stigma around mental health..

Growing up in a traditional Indian culture, Zaharra shares with us that it was unacceptable to share your emotions and admit that you were struggling. As a child this left her confused about how to find the support that she desperately needed. As someone who was in tune to her emotions, not having the “language” to express what was going on internally was incredibly difficult especially after enduring a tragic loss in her family.

When she grew up, Zahraa discovered a deep love for psychology and eagerly pursued a career in therapy. This gave her the platform to speak on the cultural implications of mental health and the importance for us to acknowledge how we truly feel.

In this powerful conversation, we also talk about the importance of acknowledging the uniqueness of everyone’s journey and why admitting how we feel is truly a strength. We also dig into our role as parents and how important it is to be “conscious” throughout our parenting journey. We discuss how we can intentionally provide a space for our children to feel seen and heard.

What about you? What are your thoughts around our emotions? Do you feel guilty feeling certain ways? How can we hold a space for others who are struggling? Continue the conversation by heading to our private Facebook Group: Hope to Recharge….because as always, together is better!

Today I wanted to share something with you that I have noticed about myself. In the past, I used to ask my extremely positive husband and father to “tone it down” with their positivity. I would question why they were so happy and why they intentionally chose joy everyday. I did not understand how anyone could live in such a high vibration simply by being alive.

I later realized that by questioning their joy I was actually interfering with it. I wanted to bring them down to my level of comfort. I didn’t realize that my low energy wasn’t able to handle their happiness. As I have worked on my own gratitude and my own energy has shifted, people now ask me the same questions I use to ask them. “How can you be so happy? How can you find so much joy?”

It is difficult to walk through life and maintain joy unless you are intentional with it. There is a lot of negative energy in the world.We have the power however to amplify joy and positive energy through practices like gratitude and developing the habit of seeing the good. It’s not always easy, but now after experiencing its power I am more passionate than ever and want to share these practices with you.

Gratitude is a choice that we make. We want to support you as you make these choices yourself and walk in a lifestyle of gratitude. Find us in our private Facebook Community: Hope to Recharge…because as always, together is better!

Making Miracles: A Book Review (Attitude of Gratitude)

On today’s episode of Attitude of Gratitude I wanted to follow up on the book that I have been reading, Making Miracles in 40 Days. I mentioned that I was starting this book back in episode six (listen here) and that I would be returning to share with you what I learned.

I am almost done with the forty days and to be completely honest I had a difficult time for a while going through the practices. There is a heavy emphasis on feeling (and being grateful for) the negative experiences that we have.

Although this is a great practice I did not feel right placing too much attention on the negative emotions that some of the practices encourage you to do. I eventually had to stop these practices because they were not surviving me. I was however able to adjust it and enjoyed what I learned moving forward.

I wanted to share this with you because it is important for us to pay close attention to what works for us and what doesn’t. Just because something is in a book or a teaching, and may work for others does not mean that it will work for you. And that is okay! What is important is that you are turning inward and making decisions based on what feels right to you.

All in all I think this is a great book especially for those who are beginning their gratitude journey. I would love to hear YOUR thoughts about this book or what I shared with you today.

Do you feel truly supported in your mental health journey? Do you wish that there were more people for you to talk to and lean on when you are going through a difficult time? This week, I am excited to share with you about a company called Squish, which is looking to solve this problem and bring hope to the mental health field.

In this episode, I sit down with John Lang and Max Fritzhand, founders of the amazing APP where they are seeking to “squish” the stigma around mental health by bringing together those who struggle and creating a supportive environment where people feel safe to share about their journey.

You will hear the interesting backstories of both of these young men, how they met, and what they are hoping to create in their business. We also discuss the implications technology has on our mental health, the surprising stats they have uncovered in their research, and how we can use this information to play a more active role in our own mental wellness.

We hope this episode encourages you to find the community support that you need. We cannot do this alone. If you are looking for a tribe to walk with you during this time please connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better.

We lost a giant this week. The loss of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and the other passengers was a trauma that we collectively experienced. Many of us did not know him personally, however we felt as though we did because of the impact that he made on our lives.

My son asked me an important question. I was in the middle of my “Smile for the Day” and he asked, “How can we smile during such a tragedy?” I am incredibly grateful he brought this question up because it is one we must ask ourselves. How can we find light in the midst of dark times? How do we hold space for loss while still continuing our life with gratitude?

Life moves so fast. We are not guaranteed another day. That is why it is so important to live a life of intention and walk in gratitude for the moment. Let’s show up with gratitude in honor of Kobe. Let us continue in our missions, because I truly believe that is what he would have wanted. Every moment is a gift, let us be grateful for that gift.

We would love to hear from you! How did you process through the events this week? What role can gratitude play in pain and tragedy? Connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge, because as always…together is better!

Sometimes we just need a break. We need to step away, perhaps even go outside, and give ourselves permission to simply BE. This week I had the honor of connecting with a young woman who has learned through her own mental health journey about how powerful a break truly can be.

Celina Celeste is no ordinary young person. After walking through her own depression she decided to take her mental health into her own hands by stepping outside of the box of what most people her age are doing and begin an inward journey of healing and self discovery. After walking through two major social media breaks and making outdoors and travel a priority, Celina shares with us the positive impact these experiences had on her mental health.

In this episode, we talk about the things we can do now to be more proactive in our mental wellness and how we can experience peace by incorporating certain habits into our lives. We discuss how we can become the biggest allies to our own recovery, how we can uncover tools of healing within us, and how we can change even when our environment stays the same.

This is an incredible episode that will help you rethink the process of healing and equip you to begin the journey today. If you need any additional support in your mental health journey please connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge. We have a community waiting there to support you and elevate you to the next level. Because as we always say, together is better!

Thanking Ourselves (Attitude of Gratitude)

Today I wanted to speak about self gratitude and why we should say “thank you” to ourselves. Now when you first hear that, you may be thinking that it sounds self-centered or egotistical to thank yourself. However on today’s episode of Attitude of Gratitude I want to highlight a few critical reasons why you should implement this powerful practice.

Over the weekend I was tempted to not show up on a promise that I made to myself. Sometimes it is easier to break commitments to yourself when we would never do that to someone we care about. When I became aware of what I was doing, I decided to keep the promise I had made and after doing so, I actually took the time to acknowledge what I had done and thanked myself for showing up.

Today I share with you why this practice will change your life and how it lays a foundation for you to become a happier and more well rounded individual. You cannot love others and show up for others until you show that same love towards yourself. Practicing self-love lays a foundation for all the other relationships in your life

We hope that this episode encourages you to thank yourself and acknowledge the ways you have showed up for yourself. We would love to hear from you! What do you think about this practice? Do you thank yourself? Connect with us in our private Facebook group Hope to Recharge because as always…together is better!

Highly Sensitive People (Patricia Young)

Is being sensitive a bad thing? From an early age we are told to “suck it up” and to “stop crying” and are not given permission to lean into the natural emotions that we feel. As a result, when we are adults we often see being “sensitive” as a negative thing without seeing it as the GIFT it really is.

This week I had the honor of connecting with therapist and coach for Highly Sensitive People, Patricia Young. Patricia shares with us why being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is something we should see as a “super power” and why we should unapologetically OWN who we are .

Patricia shares with us her personal story, and how she came to the conclusion that she was called to work specifically with Highly Sensitive People. She educates about the trait of High Sensitivity as well as the strengths of Highly Sensitive People; how to navigate relationships as a Highly Sensitive Person, and how to recognize and validate our needs as HSPs.

We hope this episode encourages you no matter who you are, or what type of personality you have to be proud of it. We should never apologize or be ashamed of our feelings, and if you are someone that feels more deeply than those around you, that is actually a beautiful thing. As Patricia says, “We need you!”.

After listening to this episode, connect with us in our private Facebook community, Hope to Recharge and let us know what you think, because as always together is better!.

Have you ever had a strong expectation that something was going to turn out a certain way only to be disappointed that it went in a completely different direction? Maybe your hopes were up that something would happen and when it didn’t, you were left extremely frustrated.

In today’s episode I share a new perspective on dealing with change and how we can find gratitude in moments when things turn out differently than what we expect.

This past week, I was in Israel at a Think Tank working on a new product that I am developing. I went into the meetings with a certain expectation of their outcomes and was confident that my ideas would manifest in a certain way. When they did not, I was incredibly grateful because I truly believe things were happening FOR me and were leading me down a better path.

I share with you this story because it is important for us to take a big picture approach in looking at our lives and even the disappointments that we face. Although that may sound like a daunting task, we can slowly develop this mindset through a daily gratitude practice. Gratitude changes us from the inside out!

I hope today’s episode encourages you to shift to gratitude not only when things are going as you anticipated but also when things are difficult and you might be tempted to feel frustrated and down. The more you choose gratitude the more it becomes a part of you. Amazing things will happen for you…when you live a life of gratitude.

We would LOVE to support you and be a part of your journey. Find us on Facebook at Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better!

Can you teach yourself to heal? How much power do we really have over our brains and can we truly experience long lasting change? This week I had the incredible honor of connecting with psychologist and New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Rick Hanson.

After reading his books, listening to his amazing podcast, and watching his talks I reached out to Dr. Hanson to see if he would be willing to come on the show and share with us about his research around the power of our minds and how we can be more active in our own change. In this interview, we talk about the “brain-change” process and how powerful the role of learning is in our lives.

Dr. Hanson says that we are “all scientists” and gives us a step-by-step process of things we can do TODAY to experience better mental health. He encourages us that each day is a gift and we can continually learn and grow and become better versions of ourselves through two simple steps. He says that learning is a power but knowing HOW to learn is a “super power”.

We also dig into being compassionate to yourself and he gives fantastic advice to those who are deeply struggling with mental illness and what they can do with this brain-change process while experiencing symptoms. This is such a powerful conversation that is jam-packed full of helpful advice and empowering research around our mental health.

We would love to hear from you! What do you think about Dr. Hanson’s research? What can you implement? Head over to our private Facebook community, Hope to Recharge. We would love to hear your thoughts and support you in your mental health journey! Because as always, together is better.

For the past several months we have been producing Attitude of Gratitude on Thursdays to encourage you to invite gratitude into your life as a daily practice. Unfortunately, I have seen that there are still so many people who are hesitant to practice gratitude because they simply do not believe that it will work. In today’s episode, I share with you exactly how one moment of gratitude WILL slowly change your life.

This past week my small child was sick, and although I had to cancel a FULL day of appointments and meetings, that I was actually looking forward to, I STILL felt immense gratitude and abundance. How? I truly believe that this was a result of the continual practice of gratitude in my life.

Look for gratitude. When you do you will start experiencing it. When you experience it you will start sharing it and slowly it will not only affect your life and bring massive abundance in your day, but it will also heavily influence those around you. Gratitude is like a magnet for positivity!

Become hyper aware of moments of gratitude in your day. Let that lead you to joy. Open your eyes, even to the small things you might sometimes overlook. Your life will slowly start changing and this will give you a powerful tool in your mental health tool belt that you can use when you are really struggling.

We would love to connect with you in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge. We are here to be your support and stand in your corner in 2020. Together is better!

Religion and Mental Health (Calvin Wayman)

He is the author of Fish Our of Water, a mastermind facilitator, podcast host, and successful entrepreneur, but Calvin Wayman openly admits that it has not always been easy and even he struggles with mental health issues.

I reached out to Calvin after being so moved by some of his raw and vulnerable posts on social media about his mental health journey. He authentically shares with his audience both on social platforms and on his podcast, Curious with Calvin Wayman, about his mental health journey and even about the suicidal thoughts that he has struggled with.

Calvin openly shares with us about growing up in fundamental Mormonism and how leaving his religion as a grown man has impacted him on a very deep level. We dig into both religion’s impact on mental health and also its impact on personal relationships. Calvin shares with us about how his upbringing felt like an “invisible leash” and how he found the courage to tune into his own intuition and make decisions that were more authentic to him.

We also dig into the mental health struggles of an entrepreneur and why it is so important to share your journey with others and not be bound by the stigma around mental illness. Calvin even asks me some powerful questions about my own healing journey and what it looks like to not only forgive others but to forgive yourself.

This is a fantastic episode for those who may feel like they may have suppressed wounds from their past that are keeping them back from healing. Calvin shares very practical tips that anyone can learn from despite where they are at.

We would LOVE to connect with you and answer your questions about today’s episode or just be in your corner as you are walking through your own mental health journey. Please connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better.

As 2019 is coming to a close I wanted to share with you more about my mental health journey. The intention of this episode is to provide you with actionable steps and resources that will help you level up your mental wellness as we embark on a new year.

This is part two of our three part series were I am coming to you solo, sharing my personal story of battling with depression and anxiety. We talk about how I was able to overcome this struggle that was threatening every aspect of my life.

You will hear how “I found hope” in my psychiatrist’s office and how important it is to find the right therapist for you. I also share what I wish I would have done differently from the beginning when choosing a therapist and why I believe now more than ever that physical health is so important to our mental and emotional health.

I walk you through step by step my journey and how it evolved from simply seeking therapy to adding in tools like yoga, meditation, and community. I hope this episode encourages you to “find the right cocktail” that works for you and what you are going through. We are all so unique and so as I share my personal experience I encourage you to fight for your own story.

We are here if you need anything. Whether it is a question about an episode or if you simply need a community who understands what you are going through, find us in our private Facebook group Hope to Recharge, because together is always better!

I am so excited to introduce you to someone who has been instrumental in my own gratitude practice. Gorgian Benta host of The Gratitude Podcast joins us today to talk about why he is so passionate about gratitude and how it pulled him out of a time where he had “hit rock bottom”.

Gorgian has dedicated the past three years to extensively studying gratitude. He produces a new show for his podcast multiple times a week but says that there is “always something to learn” when it comes to gratitude. He shares that through gratitude although nothing may change on the outside, “everything changes on the inside”.

In this episode we talk about how gratitude gives us a powerful feeling of abundance and helps us see the world in a different way. We also dig into the importance of not just “saying” thank you but how true gratitude is FEELING grateful. He generously share with us gratitude practices and even ways that we can strategically remind ourselves of moments from the past that we can reflect on and be grateful for.

We even reflect on the small things in life that we take for granted and how we miss opportunities to be grateful, potentially robbing ourselves from the beautiful benefits of gratitude. Georgians points out that many of the conveniences we have and enjoy day to day came from the labor and extreme effort of others. Noticing these small things throughout our lives, will open the door to massive abundance and bless our lives intensely.

If you are interested in how you can take your gratitude to the next level or how we can see lightness even in our darkest times, you will LOVE this conversation with Gorgian. Please connect with us in our private Facebook community to learn with us more about gratitude. We would love to support you in your mental health and gratitude journey.

The Gift of Depression (Regena Rose)

Often we do what we feel like we “should do” instead of leaning into what feels truly right for us. Perhaps we do not fully trust what we tell ourselves for fear of being judgement or perhaps maybe mistakes. Or we have simply been conditioned to respond to what is going on around us instead of tuning in to what our intuition is trying to say.

This week I had the incredible honor of connecting with Regena Rosa about what she has learned through her journey thru depression and why she says that she is actually grateful for her experience with it.

Regena vividly explains what depression felt like in her body describing it like “heavy bricks on top of” her body. She shares with us the moment that she realized that her “mind was not functioning properly” and why she believes that she needed to experience that depth of pain in order to fully change.

We talk about giving yourself permission to see your thoughts in a new way, having a new experience with them, as if a witness watching from outside the experience. She shares, how she allowed help from others and how it helped her get healed and back to a healthy, happy lifestyle. She shares the struggles of denying the pain, and the “lie” of thinking ONE can change on their own. Why depression truly is a wound that you simply cannot be seen, hence why it’s such a challenging experience for many.

This is such a vulnerable and raw episode what I know will help so many of you to not feel alone in your struggles. We want to provide another layer of support to you. Connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge. We would love for you to be a part of our community. Because as always, together is better.

Do you struggle with the “Holiday Blues”? A lot of people struggle during the holidays and it can be especially difficult because most people are celebrating and you feel like you “should” be happy and not feeling the way that you do. In today’s episode, we talk about coping with the holiday blues and even finding gratitude in the midst of it.

Although I personally have never struggled with the holiday blues I have struggled with deep depression during our family’s celebrations and special holidays. There is a lot of guilt and frustration that can come from these emotions especially during these times but I invite you to join me in an exercise that will help tremendously.

Today we are talking about inviting gratitude into your Holiday Blues. While you are acknowledging pain, and not pushing it away, you can also invite light to come in. Again, we are not ignoring the pain, we are just allowing the space for gratitude to enter and acknowledge things that are working for us. Although simple, these gratitude practices are SO powerful and can literally transform how you feel.

As 2019 is coming to a close, it is time for us to pause and reflect on everything to be grateful for this year. Take a moment to tune it for a moment and be present and reflect on the year. What are you grateful for today?

We want you to know that you are not alone during this holiday season. We truly care about you and invite you to join us in our private Facebook community, Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better.

Topics Discussed:

The importance of tuning in and reflecting at the end of the year.
How to feel pain and yet invite gratitude.
How to create space and be present.

Embracing Your Uniqueness (Cameron Herold)

What if the thing that you think is a weakness is actually a strength? What if many of the “disorders” that we place on people are actually just their own uniqueness and something they can use to their advantage? This week I had the honor of connecting with Cameron Herold, also known as the “CEO whisperer”, to talk about his journey in mental health and why he thinks you should embrace what sets you apart.

Cameron has had extreme success even at an early age. He is known for his high energy, best selling books, and his gift for being able to help companies double and even triple their revenue in a short period of time. However, Cameron had an unconventional upbringing. He was diagnosed at an early age with “mental disorders” and although at the time, it was seen as a weakness, he now believes that being different is what helped him become as successful as he is.

In today’s powerful interview, Cameron shares with us why he believes many of our differences that we see as “mental illnesses” are simply our own uniquenesses. He even believes they can be our gifts. He suggests that we stop telling kids they have “problems” and start seeing how the thing that sets them apart can actually be used productively. He also shares with us about how our children’s confidence is suffering when we are constantly focused on finding what is “wrong” with them.

He encourages us in this episode to not only educate ourselves on those who have made the history books and have “struggled” with “mental illness” but for us to celebrate what makes us unique and consider that there may be nothing innately wrong with us.

This was such an eye opening conversation and we would LOVE to hear what you think! Connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge. As always, together is better!

We talk a lot on the show about practicing gratitude through the difficult times. However when gratitude WORKS (which it does!) What do we do then? Today on Attitude of Gratitude we talk about the importance of continuing our gratitude practice even when things are going well.

In order to take gratitude to the next level,and truly experience all that it has to offer we need to make it apart of our lives. Sometimes it is easier to reminder to practice gratitude because it becomes a part of our tool kit while we are struggling, but we are truly missing out if we do not use it fully and make it a regular practice.

Gratitude looks different for everyone. I am learning so much from our listeners about their own practices and the way that they implement gratitude. In this episode, I share with you my own tips and tricks on how I use it daily, and what I am even doing next to challenge myself! Gratitude can truly create miracles in our lives!

I am still learning so much about gratitude and grateful that I get to learn by serving YOU. We are incredibly grateful for you tuning in each week and being apart of our tribe. Please connect with us in our thriving Facebook community: Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better!

This week I am bringing you one of three solo episodes where I will dive in deeper to my own mental health story and share with you the tools that I used (and still currently am using) in my recovery.

Hosting this show is an incredible honor and I am overwhelmed with gratitude by the response that we have already had in just six short months. I hope that by sharing more concrete tools like what I am sharing in today’s episode will encourage you in your own journey and support you on your path to healing.

There are three main categories that I want to address. Today, I will be sharing the first of these, which is mindset. Developing the right mindset is crucial not only in life but especially if you are battling a mental illness. I break down how I used gratitude, not being a victim , and developing a strong desire, to all aid in my healing.

I used to really struggle with carrying a negative energy and expecting only bad things to happen. I learned through several books that my thoughts were actually energy and attracted negative things to happen. This was so empowering because I realized that if I could attract the negative, I could also attract the positive.

Healing doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It just means that you are working to move the needle. We want to support you in your journey. Connect with us in our private Facebook group because as always, together is better!

Mindset: https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck-dp-1400062756

Making a shift in wellness takes a lot of time and hard work but you do not have to do it alone. We are excited to announce a new support group just for our listeners coming soon. Stay tuned for more information!

Topics Discussed:

How to deeper your desire to heal (and why it matters).
How to be an ally for yourself.
How to develop the right mindset for recovery.

After experiencing a major transition in her personal life, our guest this week success coach and author Heather Vickery says that she discovered the power of gratitude. She learned that when she shifted her energy and made space for her emotions, things began to change in her life. This week we hear her story and learn more about this powerful tool that we all have access to.

Heather says that she does not believe we can be ‘successful” when our personal life isn’t functioning well. However, when there are things that are not in your control, how can you still live in a positive state and experience the level of happiness that you desire? She believes this is possible only through gratitude.

In this episode of Attitude of Gratitude, you will learn why “you have everything right now to be successful”, how fear can empower you and not “own you”, and how we can actually leverage fear into “intentional bravery”. Heather also shares with us about her new book that teaches children the power of gratitude and empowers them to take control over their well being.

There is always so much more to learn about gratitude and we are excited to continue to grow together with you! We would like to personally invite you to become apart of our private Facebook group Hope to Recharge because as always, together is better.

There are many ways to find relief from depression. There are creative ways to cope with anxiety. As humans there is not a “one size fits all” approach to anything and especially in our mental wellness. This week we are talking all things mental health, creativity, and the power of surrender.

In this conversation, I connected with the INCREDIBLE Xandra Robinson-Burns who is an Essayist, Founder of Heroine Training and the creator of Everyday Wonderland. She shares with us about her journey as a young girl discovering the world of fiction and how she used it in later years to cope with her depression.

Xandra has a powerful story about how as a young child she was a “deep thinker” and “always aware” of her experience. She started experiencing signs of depression as a young woman and had a painful experience of being dismissed by a counselor that she confided in. She now uses her experience to help others break free from shame and learn their own creative ways of dealing with mental illness.

In today’s episode, we talk about the power of stillness, why we should not suppress out dreams, and how it is OKAY to feel whatever it is that you are feeling. Xandra encourages us to sit with our depression and to not feel guilt around what we are feeling. She also shares the importance of celebrating small wins and finding the “magic” for where you already are.

Today marks six full months of podcasting! How appropriate that this special day falls not only on our Attitude of Gratitude segment but also on Thanksgiving Day. Today I am joined with our show’s producer, Heather Parady to talk about gratitude in podcasting, business, and in life.

In this episode we talk more in depth about the power of gratitude and how important it is to not only name things to be grateful for but also why we should practice FEELING grateful. We discuss how our own gratitude has progressed and how it influences our work and relationships.

We want to take this moment to thank YOU the listener for going on this journey with us to break the stigma around mental illness. We are grateful that you tune in every week and care deeply enough about your own mental wellness and the wellness of your loved ones to invest your time and energy to learning more about mental health.

We are dedicated to you and are excited to grow and learn together and once and for all break down the walls and shame around these topics. We believe together truly is better and invite you to join our private Facebook community Hope to Recharge. Here is to the next six months of podcasting and beyond!

Suicide is a very heavy topic. It is one that we often avoid because it is dark and can leave many of us in fear and confusion on how to respond when a loved one is struggling or if we have had our own thoughts of death.

I had the honor of connecting with Christopher Howard, host of the Coffee Over Suicide podcast who graciously shared with us his own story of suicidal idealization starting as early as five years old. He grew up feeling very isolated and said that even as a young child he had this sense that “life was painful” and that he “was wrong.”

Now as a grown man, he has different tools for coping and new ways to look at his mental health struggles. He shares with us the importance of taking ownership of our mental health illnesses and how we can take the responsibility of recovery away from pill and treatment and put it back into our own hands.

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts please know that you are not alone. Below are resources and hotlines that are available to you. Although the pain is real , there is hope. We would also love to be a support. Please find us in our private Facebook group Hope to Recharge because as always …together is better.

This week I am back in Jerusalem coming to you full of gratitude! I just attended a conference led by my eldest sister and the CEO of Temech, a powerful organization which supports female entrepreneurs. This week I was once again reminded of all that I have to be grateful for.

While I was sitting in the conference listening to all of these accomplished women, I noticed a trend. Every one of them emphasized gratitude and focused on the positive. I even met a woman in her 70’s who was severely burnt in her 30’s and now leads a nonprofit for burn victims. She credited gratitude to her recovery and how she was able to cope from the pain.

The whole day was so inspiring and I am incredibly proud of my sister. I wanted to share with you these insights because no matter what you may going through we can turn so many things around through the practice of gratitude. I am becoming more and more convinced that gratitude is key and that it is vital that we surround ourselves with positive people.

What do you do when you feel overwhelming pain or struggle to find hope? We hope that these messages of gratitude inspire you and help you through your mental health journey. If you need any support please know that we are here. You can connect with us in our private Facebook group Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better

No one can fully prepare you to be a mother. You not only have to navigate the logistics of taking care of another human but you may also experience an array of emotions and internal battles that new mothers face. Postpartum depression is often experienced but not spoken about …until now.

This week I had the honor of connecting with Samantha Sutherland host of the Women at Work Podcast and a successful diversity and inclusion specialist who shares her intimate story of suffering from mental health issues while bringing her sweet boy into the world.

In this powerful conversation we talk about compound trauma and how that can affect mental illness. We also discuss things like sleep deprivation and the difficulty of struggling with feelings of no support. Samantha generously shares with us what she wishes she would have known all along and how important it is for us to seek the help that we need.

We also dive into the strain mental health issues have on marriages and intimate relationships. Samantha offers sound advice on how to not only support someone who is struggling but the importance of the caregiver to guard their own mental health in the process.

We hope this episode encourages you to get the help that you need if you are suffering with depression or other mental health challenges. There are many resources available and support. If we can help you in any way, please connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, because as always… together is better.

How can we find happiness when we are told “no”? Maybe a client has turned down our service or perhaps we have been asking God for something specific and haven’t received it. How can we be grateful during times like this and find joy even in the midst of disappointment?

This week I had the JOY of connecting with the happiness coach herself, Lauren Foster, as she explains to us why we should not “wait for happiness” but find it in our everyday lives.

Lauren started off in marketing and sales where she was “accidentally introduced” to positive psychology. She benefited so much through the mindset shifts that it taught her that she shifted careers and now helps others use the tools of positive psychology to manifest the life of their dreams.

In today’s episode, we talk about how we can practice gratitude, how to find the ‘sweetness” of life through sadness, and how to shift our mindset when doors seem like they are closing all around us. Lauren also walks us through a powerful exercise involving a story about a “magic orchid” which helps shift your perception of gratitude and the abundance of joy that is actually around us.

This will be the perfect start to your day and will provide much hope and energy no matter what you are facing. We would also LOVE to hear from you! Connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better!

Lauren would like to offer our free gift, this has the story of the Magic Orchid and some powerful journaling techniques.

If you or someone you know runs their own business you know how stressful and demanding it can be. Many entrepreneurs work excessive hours, do not get enough sleep, and suffer from high levels of stress. Since they are so invested in their business, it may be difficult for them to recognize the mental health issues that they may be facing.

This week, I had the honor of connecting with mental health advocate and business consultant Angela Henderson. Angela spent many years of her life as a mental health clinician which gave her professional experience in the mental health world but as she shares with us today, she has a very personal experience with it as well.

She is now passionate about helping entrepreneurs identify their own mental health issues and equip them with the tools to not only overcome their struggles but also to thrive and flourish not only externally but emotionally and mentally in their business.

In this powerful interview we talk about how to overcome the isolation and extreme stress that many small business owners face. We also dig into the importance of play and creativity in business. If you or someone you love is an entrepreneur, this episode is a must listen!

Do you take vitamins? It may even be a part of your daily routine and few of us would argue on their benefits. What does this have to do with gratitude? In today’s episode I share with you why practicing daily gratitude is like a vitamin that can not only improve your day but also set you up for a longer and happier life.

We talk a lot on this show about the benefits of practicing gratitude daily. Research shows that those who do, are happier, healthier, have better relationships, and even get more done in a day. So why not make it a part of our routine? It’s good for us, it costs nothing, and we already have access to it!

I am passionate about sharing this with you because since I have been practicing gratitude, my mindset has completely shifted. I used to see mostly negative, but now I can shift negative moments into positive ones. I’ve trained my brain to be more positive through gratitude and it has completely changed my life.

I hope this encourages you today to take your gratitude vitamin and begin the journey of shifting your mindset and leading a more fulfilling and happier life.

We would love to support you! Find us in our private Facebook community Hope to Recharge, because as always together is better.

Today’s episode is unlike any we have done up to this point. You will experience a live energy healing session between me and my energy coach, Brian Weiss.

You may remember Brian from episode 30 where we explored what energy healing is (and what it is not). I encourage you to check out that interview before listening to this one to give context on the session you are about to hear.

I gave Brian permission to tap into my energy and share with us what he was sensing from me and his recommendations on how I could overcome the blocked emotions that he was feeling. I wanted to share this openly with you so you could gain better insight into what a practice like this looks like and to demystify “energy healing”.

In this episode, you will hear more about the blocked emotions of anger, anxiety, and fear of failure that Brian sensed on me. He shares how he was able to tap into those emotions and why our subconscious is trying to free itself from them. We also talk about why trying to “overcome” emotions is a “big mistake” and how we can tell if our emotions are controlling us or if we are controlling them.

This process can be draining, but it is so important to dig deep to our emotions and create a space for them to move through. If you need further encouragement and support through your mental health journey, please connect with us in our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better!

Thursdays are special days. I use it to prepare for Shabbat which I love celebrating and getting to spend time with my family. I also get to connect with you and share with you things that I am learning and contemplating about gratitude.

I was recently talking to someone who was going through a really difficult time with their partner who is struggling with mental health. One of the things that I wish I would have understood when I was going through my own mental health journey was the importance of being grateful for the loved ones in my life who were supporting me.

Living with someone who is going through mental health challenges can be really difficult at times. When you see someone who you care about suffering it can feel helpless. Although our friends and family may not understand what we are going through exactly we can gift them with the “fuel” of gratitude.

Sometimes you don’t have the strength to give gratitude and that’s okay. In this episode, we cover not only the importance of showing gratitude towards our support system but also how we can practically.

We would LOVE to hear from you! Who are you grateful for? What are ways that you like to show appreciation? Connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better.

Topics Discussed:

The struggles that loved ones may be going through watching someone they care about go through their mental health journey.
Practical ways to show gratitude to your loved ones.
How to take gratitude to the ‘next level’.

Today I am coming back to you from Jerusalem. We are ending our fabulous trip and heading back to the States in the morning, but I wanted to wrap up this journey with another lesson about gratitude that I have learned over the past couple of weeks.

A few months ago, our family vacation to Florida was cut short due to a hurricane. It was tempting to be frustrated about ending our trip early but we decided to choose gratitude. Another unexpected twist was that we had to drive back to New York instead of fly. We had a car full of children including my two-year old. However, since we were seeing things through the lens of gratitude we noticed something…

We had a wonderful trip and our children did very well on the long journey. Noticing this gave us the idea to come to Israel as a family and trust that the long travel would not be a strain. We were right! This was one of the best trips back home we have ever had…and it may not have happened without us deliberately shifting our frustration back several months ago in Florida to gratitude.

I share this story with you today to remind you that we have the power to CHOOSE gratitude. It’s natural to be frustrated but remember that gratitude can not only shift our mindset it also has the power to influence our circumstances. Gratitude is dynamic.

We WANT to hear from you! How can we support you? What has gratitude done in your life? Find us in our private Facebook group Hope to Recharge. Because as always…together is better!

Eli Brown was on his way to a promising career as a professional tennis player. Growing up in Canada, he fell in love with the sport and dedicated himself to strenuous practice and dedication to the game. However, at the age of fourteen, he began to experience sexual abuse which would result in a turn of events that changed his life.

This week, I had the honor of sitting down with Eli who is the founder of Shine the Light On, a clothing brand dedicated to spreading awareness and providing resources to those who struggle with mental illness. Eli is now using his story of overcoming childhood trauma and heavy addiction in his early adulthood years to “shine a light” on the suffering of others and provide hope to those who feel lost.

Eli graciously shares his story about the difficulty he faced in not only sharing his story but also being able to identify the mental health struggles that he faced. As he said, he knew he wasn’t truly “living” and felt as though he was going through his days “blindly.” He shares with us how he was able to seek help and what he would share with someone who was considering giving up.

This is a powerful interview if you or someone you know has struggled specifically with abuse and or addiction. If you need support please reach out to us in our private Facebook community, Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better.

Today I am coming to you from Jerusalem, Israel. I am spending the holidays with my family which I am so grateful for. We are participating in a few fasts and I wanted to share with you the gratitude that I have found THROUGH the process of fasting.

I am not naturally someone who loves to fast. However, when I was walking through my darkest points in my mental health journey I literally could NOT eat. I realized through this fast how grateful I am that I have the choice now to participate in a fast as opposed to my body rejecting food.

Another thing that I wanted to share with you is how I have been practicing finding gratitude in my frustration. During my travels, it is easy to become agitated over things that are different than what I am used to. However, I want to be grateful even for things that are different or hard.

When we choose gratitude over frustration, our bodies literally change. We also discover that gratitude is a GIFT. It is like a switch that can change everything. It takes a while to practice before it becomes a part of our lifestyle, but once we get a grasp on it…it can be the biggest blessing.

We would love to hear your thoughts on this topic! How are you practicing gratitude? Are you able to find gratitude even in the frustrating times? Connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge. Because as always together is better!

Finding gratitude even in hard times.

Breaking Free from Addiction and Learning the Power of Forgiveness (Tony Grebmeier)

This episode is in memory of Tony’s Mentor: Sean Stephenson

In 2008, Tony Grebmeier says that he almost lost everything. He had been struggling for years with addiction, was in severe debt, separated from his wife, and was considering taking his own life. One day a friend knocked on his door and spoke the words that he desperately needed to hear.

Now years later, Tony has dedicated his life to helping others overcome their own internal struggles and step into who they feel called to be. In this episode, Tony shares with us his story of being abused as a child and the implications that had on his relationships and identity.

Today we dive into the power of forgiveness and how we can overcome the dialogue in our mind that keeps many of us in bondage. Tony shares with us why we need to make our healing journey a priority and how everything changed for him when he shifted from leading with his wallet to leading with his heart.

If you or someone you know struggles with demons from the past, or wonders what forgiveness looks like practically, you do not want to miss this episode! As Tony beautifully says, “no storm lasts forever” and “the most important thing you can do is get someone to help you through your journey”.

“Mr. Thank You” (John Israel) (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 10 Oct 2019 07:27:23 +0000

I first heard today’s guest on one of my favorite podcasts, The One Thing. They were interviewing a man named John Israel (AKA “Mr. Thank You”) and I loved the conversation so much I listened THREE times. John later became my own business and life coach and today he joins us to talk about the power of gratitude.

John shares with us about how he used to be a “gratitude salesman” however he was struggling internally to practice and find gratitude in his own life. At that point, he made a personal challenge to himself to write FIVE sincere notes of gratitude to others for one solid year. What he learned and how he grew in that process completely changed his life.

Today we dig into why he chose to focus on gratitude specifically (and not happiness or joy), the importance of processing through and neutralizing your thoughts, how to be grateful in difficult times, how community “shows up” for you when you begin to practice gratitude, and how this practice changed not only himself but his family,

Are you up for the challenge? John challenges us today to find a person who has been a “light in the tunnel’ and has given us hope…and write them a thank-you letter.

Educating Young People About Mental Illness (Tammy Ozolins)

admin — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 07:00:55 +0000

After years of struggling with depression and manic episodes, Tammy Ozolins finally received the diagnosis of Bipolar Two with Rapid Cycling. As an educator, she has made the brave decision to talk publicly about her mental health journey in order to end the stigma and educate young people on the realities of mental health.

It was an honor to connect with Tammy (also known as “Ms. Oz”) and learn not only about her own battle with mental health, but also hear her perspective as a teacher on how we can better inform young people about their own mental health and equip them with the necessary tools to overcome their own struggles.

In today’s episode, Tammy shares with us about why she does not shy away from the topic of mental health, and how her own story of hospitalization and even a suicide attempt has made her even more passionate about helping others who may feel alone in their struggles.

She shares with us why having a diagnosis was a “relief”, how she has coped with depression and navigated manic episodes in the workplace, and why she believes that educating others and communicating with them is so important. This is a powerful episode for not only those who struggle with mental health but also for those who are supporting a loved one.

Jump Start Your Year with Gratitude (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 06:50:51 +0000

This week is a special week in the Jewish community. We are celebrating our New Year and for me that means a time of intentional reflection. I like to take a moment this time of year to reflect on all the things I have to be grateful for. We continually discuss on the show why it is important to practice gratitude daily, however there is something extra special on reflecting back on a FULL year of moments.

In today’s episode, I share with you a few of my rituals around this practice including ways that you can use journals and pictures to help foster gratitude and remind you of moments you may have otherwise forgotten.

Why is any of this important? I don’t know about you, but life is SO busy and it is easy to move through it so fast without taking a moment to reflect. The beautiful thing about gratitude is that it allows positive energy into your life which attracts MORE and more things to be grateful for.

Will you join us in being a vessel for gratitude? In being a catalyst for positivity? Even through the difficult moments you experienced this year reflection gives you an opportunity to see how much you have grown and how strong you were in the process.

What is something you are proud of in regards to yourself and your personal growth this year? We would love to hear about the things YOU are grateful for. Find us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge. Because as always- together is better!

Relationship Magic: The Art of Creating a Magical Relationship (Guy Finley)

admin — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 07:00:32 +0000

I recently read a book, Relationship Magic, which was monumental in how I now view my personal relationships. It was an honor to be able to connect with the author of that book, Guy Finley on today’s episode of Hope to Recharge.

Guy is the founder and director of Life of Learning, a non-profit organization for spiritual leaders as well as an author of over forty-five books which have sold over 2-million copies worldwide. In our conversation, we talk about his work around relationships and what we can learn about ourselves through others.

We discuss why Guy believes we are not “broken” but often “disconnected” from our true self, how growing up among famous families gave him a unique perspective about what happiness truly is, and why we should seek a relationship with LOVE and not look to the world for validation.

If you are curious about how we can cope with depression by having a better understanding of consciousness, how we can better observe our feelings and thoughts, and what role ego plays in our relationships, you do not want to miss this episode!

Thoughts? Questions? Connect with us in our private Facebook Group- Hope to Recharge– because as always, Together is better!

Topics Discussed:

What judgment reveals about us.
What we can do when someone “sets us off” or triggers us.
The purpose of love and relationships.

The Secret of AOG (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 07:00:19 +0000

Today I wanted to discuss the term “Attitude of Gratitude”. What does that really mean? I am sure that you have heard it being said and it’s tempting to think that it is just a cute little saying.

I believe that an attitude of gratitude is something that we have to develop. Most of us are not born with it. I have personally learned a lot about gratitude by watching my husband and how he has enhanced and invited little moments of gratitude into his life. He has always decided to make small moments, incredible. As a result, he literally creates special experiences.

The term “attitude” usually has a negative connotation, however, we can choose the attitude that we have. By cultivating an attitude of gratitude, we will see moments through a positive perspective, inviting in every moment, for what it really is. As a result, no matter what is happening, we can see something good.

We would love to hear about your thoughts about what an attitude of gratitude means to you. Connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better.

Hug Therapy: A 21-Day Journey to Embracing Yourself, Your Life, and Everyone Around You (Dr. Stone Kraushaar)

admin — Tue, 24 Sep 2019 06:38:50 +0000

Can a hug make a difference in our mental health? What are “self-hugs”? What is it about physical touch that is so healing? Dr. Stone Kraushaar, also known as the “Hug Doctor” says that hugs can be a game-changer for our mental wellbeing and shares with us why we underestimate the power of a hug.

Dr. Kraushaar is a clinical psychologist who was originally practicing therapy at college campuses. A few years ago he felt a strong shift and began his own personal development journey. After experiencing the transformation of giving hugs to strangers he set out on a mission to study and teach the connection between us all through the power of hugging.

In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Hug shares with us why he recommends 21-second hugs, why we should be “radically transparent”, and why he believes that “all people share a profound human connection”. Even if you do not believe yourself to be “a hugger” this episode will help you to rethink what human connection looks like and give you ideas on the variety of ways that you can both give and receive hugs.

Gratitude on a New Voltage (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 06:47:08 +0000

What is ‘Post Pain Gratitude’? Are there benefits to gratitude beyond coping with the present moment and experiencing its’ immediate benefits? Last week I discovered something powerful about gratitude that I did not know before and I am excited to share it with you in this week’s segment of Attitude of Gratitude.

If you remember in last week’s episode (https://hopetorecharge.com/episode/practicing-gratitude-during-pain-attitude-of-gratitude/) we talked about a difficult time my family and I were walking through as my youngest was transitioning into school. We talked about the benefits of practicing gratitude during painful moments and how it can bring a new perspective to even the most difficult of times.

However, something happened afterward that I did not expect. After walking through the experience and when we could finally see light at the end of the tunnel, I notice that my gratitude was not only still there, but it had drastically INCREASED. It was like there was a new voltage to my present moment and I was hyper-aware of the goodness around me.

My positive energy came back, giving me the ability to truly see and gain clarity. It was through this that I realized the importance of working through pain WITH gratitude. It not only helps you through the darkness but it shines a light on your days to come making you hypersensitive to the GOOD.

We would LOVE to hear from you. Have you experienced post-pain gratitude? Find us on Facebook in our private Facebook Community, Hope to Recharge, because as always, together is better.

Topics Discussed:

What are the post pain benefits of gratitude?
How being grateful through pain magnifies your gratitude practice.
Why we should listen to our children’s intuition.

Prepping the Body and Mind for Crisis (Jen Esquer)

admin — Tue, 17 Sep 2019 06:57:53 +0000

This week I had the honor of connecting with mobility expert Dr. Jen Esquer about how we can use mobility and fitness to prevent and treat mental health issues. Dr. Jen shares with us about a recent trauma that she endured and how she walked through the pain, allowed space for healing, and ultimately found her truest self through the process.

In this episode, Dr. Jen walks us through her journey of being a young gymnast, to finding a love for mobility, and ultimately sharing her passion very publicly and building a following online. After enduring a betrayal in a relationship, Dr. Jen discovered a new part of the mind/body connection that she had not experienced before, realized the power of her own intuition, and the importance of trusting herself.

Today we talk about how to find your worth and value outside of external circumstances, why it is critical to find community that will hold space for you and not push you through the process of healing and the connection between physical fitness and mental health. Jen even shares with us a few breathing techniques that will help you through panic attacks and anxiety.

This is a powerful interview that I know you will learn so much from. If you have thoughts or questions or would simply like the support from our community please find us on Facebook, Hope to Recharge. Because as always, together is better.

Practicing Gratitude During Pain (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 12 Sep 2019 11:38:11 +0000

Today my energy is a little low but I wanted to share with you something that I am currently going through. As you know I love the topic of gratitude but I am still learning how to implement it into my life especially during painful times.

On this week’s attitude with gratitude, I wanted to share with you about a difficult time we have been having with my sweet little boy and his first few days of preschool. My dear friend Matthew reminded me to be grateful even during this difficult time.

How do we find gratitude when we are in pain? How can we use the tools of gratitude to overcome the trials we are facing? This week I was reminded that gratitude gives me the energy to focus and reminds me that nothing lasts forever. I hope this episode and my story encourages you to find the light and the good even in the darkest of times.

If you need any additional support we would LOVE to connect with you in our private Facebook Group Hope to Recharge. Because as always together is better.

Topics Discussed:

The importance of gratitude during painful moments.
How gratitude can calm you and will bring focus.
The importance of being aligned with others who share the same values.

Energy Healing (Brian Weiss)

admin — Tue, 10 Sep 2019 12:03:23 +0000

This week, I sat down with another individual who has played a huge role in my life and in my journey towards overcoming the mental health struggles that I have dealt with. I have the extreme honor of introducing you to my intuitive coach and mentor Brian W

I met Brian five or six years ago when I was experiencing deep depression. Since then, he has guided me towards healing by helping me to uncover my own intuition and unlock my own ability to what he calls “healing myself.”

Brian’s holistic approach includes focusing on our biofeedback and connecting our symptoms to underlying emotions. In our conversation we talk about why he doesn’t believe we need “healers” and that we have the power within ourselves to guide our own healing journey. We also talk about how negative energy blocks us and how we can begin to release negative emotions that are the underlying cause of mental illness.

If you feel stuck and wonder what role our emotions play in our healing, you will love this conversation with Brian. We also include a short clip of an upcoming episode where Brian works with me through an exercise.

Thank & Grow Rich (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 06:55:06 +0000

My friend Matthew recently suggested this incredible book to me by Pam Grout called Thank and Grow Rich. You may be familiar with the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill who talks about the power of our thoughts in fulfilling our dreams. This book presents the idea that GRATITUDE plays just as an important role in us seeing miracles and having success.

Pam says that gratitude and joy are both connected and when we experience one, we experience the other. In today’s Attitude of Gratitude, I share with you about her program called AA 2.0 which are two practices that she recommends using every day that will transform our lives and help us reap the full benefits of gratitude.

I invite you in this episode to start these powerful practices including finding a group that you can share your gratitude with. It will give you strength and help pick you up even during difficult times. If you need a community to support you in your mental health journey please connect with us in our private Facebook group, because as always together is better.

Dear Family: Navigating Wealth, Love, Affairs, Suicide, Bipolar and Understanding It All (Rachel Steinman)

admin — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 12:04:43 +0000

Today we are welcoming mental health advocate and fellow podcast host, Rachael Steinman to the show. Rachel hosts the “Dear Family” podcast which she says is like a “love letter” to families who have a loved one who is suffering from mental illness.

Although Rachel says that she herself has never struggled with mental health, members in her family going back five generations have, which has resulted in four suicides. Rachael shares openly with us about her family’s history, including her mom’s battle with Bipolar.

A few years ago Rachel ran across a manuscript that her grandfather had written before he died by suicide. She began her own writing process uncovering her discoveries about her families mental illnesses and battles with addiction. She said that the writing process actually began to heal her relationship with her own mother and she gained empathy for those struggling and discovered a new passion for breaking the stigma of mental illness.

We not only dive into Rachel’s powerful story but we also discuss how mental illness can be passed down through generations, the importance of stepping in and providing hope for others, and forgiveness’ role in the process.

I learned so much from Rachel and I know you will be moved by her story. If you or someone you know needs support during the mental health journey, please connect with us in our private community Hope to Recharge- because as always- together is better!

Topics Discussed:

Generational mental health.
The importance of talking with your children about mental health.
How (and why) to let go and forgive.

How to Not Stay Frozen and Achieve Goals with Gratitude (Paul Cummings)

admin — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 07:21:42 +0000

Imagine teaching for 37 years, traveling all over the world, and having taught over 2.5 million people, and then one day…being told that you would never speak or write again.

That’s exactly what happened to this week’s guest Paul Cummings, whom I had the extreme honor of sitting down with to discusses how he beat all odds and gained a new perspective on gratitude.

I first heard about Paul when our mutual friend, Andy Heck introduced me to his book, It All Matters, and I heard about his powerful story and optimistic outlook on life. Today, Paul shares with us about when he had a stroke and was then diagnosed with advanced Aphasia, which is loss of ability to express speech (or understand it) caused by brain damage.

In our interview Paul shares with us why he believes that those who are diagnosed with Aphasia are some of the “bravest people you will ever meet”, why he wakes up every morning at 4 AM and practices his speech for four hours, how his mother has shaped his outlook on life, and why he is “not a prisoner” to anything.

I was so inspired by Paul and his story and know that you will love this incredibly raw and powerful conversation. We would love to hear your thoughts on this topic! You can connect with us in our private Facebook group- because as always- together is better!

Psychiatry BEYOND Medication: Healing the Body, Mind, and Soul (Dr. Samuel Pauker)

admin — Tue, 27 Aug 2019 11:59:37 +0000

This week, I have the honor of introducing you to someone who has been instrumental in my recovery process and healing journey, my very own psychiatrist, Dr. Samuel Pauker.

Although he is a psychiatrist, and your mind may immediately jump to treatment by medication alone, Dr. Pauker’s work goes way beyond psychopharmacology and integrates full health by acknowledging the link between body, mind, and soul.

After asking someone for a recommendation for the very BEST psychiatrist, I was given Dr. Pauker’s name and just after our first intake session, I knew this was the right doctor for me. Dr. Pauker uses a unique blend of psychopharmacology along with psychoanalysis to customize treatment for each individual. His work allows patients to feel seen and heard and he digs into why that is so important with us today.

In this episode, we discuss how to balance medication and self-care practices, why using medication can stabilize us enough to engage in life-changing activities, how depression and anxiety are linked, and why sometimes anxiety is a defense against depression. This was a powerful interview and I know you will learn so much from Dr. Pauker! We would love to hear your major takeaways from the episode. Please find us on Facebook and join our private community, because together is BETTER!

Resources mentioned:

Book: The First Year of Marriage: https://www.amazon.com/First-Year-Marriage-Expect-Accept/dp/0595411533

Topics Discussed:

Doctors Also Battle with Mental Health (Breaking the Stigma) (Dr. Dana)

admin — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 06:56:50 +0000

This week, I had the honor of sitting down with an Australian doctor who is shaking things up in her industry by talking publicly about the mental health and wellbeing of doctors.

Dana shares with us about her first year working as a doctor and how she was surprised by the extreme overwhelm and lack of support that she experienced. She was right out of medical school and when she sought help, it was suggested to her that she seek counseling privately (off record) in fear that she might lose her job.

The more she dug into the topic, the more she learned that there was an underlying problem in the medical community that had to be addressed. There were many junior and senior doctors who were secretly struggling and there was nowhere to turn.

In our powerful conversation, you will learn more about Dana’s advocacy through her podcast, Junior Doctor’s Corner, and hear her honest answers about the fine balance between a patient’s and a doctor’s health.

If you or someone you know is looking for support through your mental health journey, please connect with us in our private Facebook group: Hope to Recharge, because together is always better.

Topics Discussed:

How Dana found the courage to share her story despite the risk of professional repercussions.
Dana’s suggestions of what needs to be implemented in medical training to prevent doctors from suffering from mental illness.
An honest dialogue about the extreme conditions that Doctors are expected to endure.

The Higher Power of Words (Pamela Smith) (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Fri, 16 Aug 2019 05:43:11 +0000

While attending a podcasting conference this week, I connected with my friend Pamela Smith to talk about the power of gratitude. Pamela is a private practice therapist and soon to be podcast host of ‘It’s All Mental’.

In this episode, we talk openly about the anxiety we were both feeling this week with everything we are juggling and how gratitude has been key in shifting our energy and really being present.

We also dig into our gratitude routines and why we believe the next “level” of gratitude is giving back. We discuss the different “levels” of gratitude and how we can take our gratitude practices to the next level through action.

So how do you SHOW gratitude? Pamela and I give a few examples of how we take action on our gratitude which welcomes in more abundance in our lives. As Pamela puts it, “You change the mindset, you change the behaviors, and you change your life”.

Next week we are doing something special in our community! We will be going live with one of our members to learn about their gratitude practices and tips. Connect with us in our private Facebook group to learn more. Remember, together is better!

Living with a Loved One that Suffered from Depression and Anxiety (Ari’s Side of the Story) (Ari Jacobs)

admin — Tue, 13 Aug 2019 06:47:19 +0000

This week I am introducing to you someone who is incredibly special to me and has played one of the most significant roles not only in my life but also in my healing process from mental illness. In this very special episode, I sat down with my husband Ari Jacobs to discuss what it was like for him to live with someone struggling with depression and anxiety

I wanted to bring Ari on the show to have an authentic dialogue with him about what it was like to walk through my mental health journey as a supporter. This was actually the very first time I have asked him these specific questions and I am so grateful to be able to share them with you because these are the hard conversations that we are reluctant to have but are necessary for the healing journey.

In this episode, Ari shares with us how he was able to be so supportive and not give up on me and our relationship when I was walking through very dark times. We also discuss in the aftermath how we have both changed and what we have learned in the process. Ari also gives two key takeaways that he learned including the importance of preparation and why we should focus on increasing love in our relationships.

I hope this episode is helpful to you by giving a holistic view of the mental health journey. We should not walk through this alone because support is everything. If you are needing support whether you suffer from mental illness or someone you love does, please find us on facebook in our private Facebook group because as always, together is better.

Topics Discussed:

How to fill yourself up when you feel depleted and unsupported.
Ari’s coping techniques during my mental health journey.
Tools Ari used which helped him keep a bigger perspective of the situation.

How to Jump Start Gratitude (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 08 Aug 2019 06:31:31 +0000

When I first started this podcast, I had no idea how much pain there actually was in this world due to mental illness. Hearing your stories and understanding how many struggle with mental health has solidified this cause even more for me.

If you are new here, Thursdays are special days where we take a moment and give space for gratitude. Why? Gratitude is a powerful tool that will literally attract abundance and more opportunities to experience things to be grateful for. The best part? It’s free.

The more you practice gratitude the more you will see gratitude. It’s a ripple effect. It will improve every area of your life…so why not use it?

This week I interviewed a few people who made a huge difference in my life by walking with me through some of my darkest moments while struggling with depression and anxiety. Reliving those memories during our interview caused me to reflect on how grateful I was for their presence, how far I have come, and how lucky I was to hang on even to the tiniest string of hope.

Lastly, I just wanted to thank YOU for living out loud, sharing your stories, and inspiring the world. We really are making a difference, one story at a time, and breaking the stigma of mental illness. Please connect with us in our private community and let us know what you are grateful for.

Topics Discussed:

Simple ideas on how to express gratitude.
What I personally do when I feel depleted.
The importance of visual reminders in gratitude.

Breaking Into My Life (Michelle Dickinson)

admin — Tue, 06 Aug 2019 07:26:08 +0000

Seeing someone you love suffering from a mental illness is extremely difficult, especially as a child. Processing through your own emotions all while being a support for them is a hard balancing act and can subject the caregiver with their own mental health struggles.

This week we are connecting with the author of Breaking Into My Life, Michelle Dickinson about what it was like for her to grow up with a mother suffering from BiPolar disorder. Michelle graciously shares with us about her adoption journey, what it was like living in a home with mental illness, and how she has navigated adulthood after enduring trauma as a child.

In this episode, you will learn about the importance of forgiveness, how we can humanize mental health which helps us remove the stigma, and why it is vital to separate mental illness from the individual. This is a powerful interview that is not only educational but also inspiring to those who are caregivers to loved ones suffering from mental illness.

If you or someone you love is struggling with a mental illness, having a supportive community is everything. We would love to lock arms with you and walk alongside you in your journey. Please connect with us in our private facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2079694042156503/

Gratitude: Remembering Where You Came From (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 01 Aug 2019 07:00:08 +0000

Today, I wanted to discuss giving gratitude to the people who formed us. We have to remember where we came from and how we became who we are. Yes, we become who we are because of the circumstances and events in our lives, but we are really shaped by the PEOPLE in our lives. This episode I want to dedicate to my parents and mentor Rachel.

My parents were huge influences in my life specifically on the importance of giving gratitude. Every time I participate in an act of gratitude I think of them. They always believed in me and my five siblings and they gave us the courage to shine in our own way. They expressed gratitude in everything and instilled in us the importance of being thankful. So much so it became a part of our DNA.

I also wanted to highlight my mentor Rachel. For years she has believed in me and encouraged me to be fully myself. Even when things were sometimes hard to hear she spoke the truth and I always knew that she loved me. She formed who I am today and gave me confidence.

On a separate note, we hit a big milestone this week by hitting the top 200 podcasts out of all categories in iTunes! A big “thank you” to all of our listeners! This milestone is surreal! What mine is yours so without all of your reviews and ratings we could not have done it. Everything we do is together.

Today’s gratitude shoutouts:

Alyssa

My parents

Rachel Dvir

Topics Discussed:

How my parents taught me about gratitude.
The importance of being grateful for relationships.
Why we should not discount the impact one person can make.

Does gratitude REALLY make a difference? Do our lives truly improve through the daily practice of being thankful? Our guest for today’s segment of Attitude with Gratitude, Vismaya Rubin, says that it absolutely does and shares with us her personal story of how gratitude has shifted her life and given her a deep passion for helping others in finding the power of gratitude in their own life.

Vismaya is the founder of Living Gratitude Today and she shares with us her method of using “Gratitude CPR” to overcome difficult circumstances or to just give a positive boost to our day. The formula she gives is super practical and will be something that you can practice anywhere and everywhere to immediately experience the power of gratitude in your own life.

She also shares her story of growing up with and caring for her mother who suffered from bipolar and how she has even found gratitude through acts of service and caring for loved ones. We talk about the power of writing down what you are grateful for, how being present in the “now” is so powerful, and how we can literally retrain our brain to FIND the good by using Vismaya’s Gratitude CPR method. This is such a powerful episode that I know you will learn so much from! Please be sure to connect with us in our private Facebook group and let us know what you are grateful for.

What Is Neuroplasticity & How Does It Work? (Dr. Selena Bartlett))

admin — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 06:52:39 +0000

In Episode Seven we connected with neuroscientist Selena Bartlett and heard about the sister that she lost to mental illness and how that shifted Selena’s career to studying “brain health” and neuroplasticity. Today, we dig in even deeper to hear about Selena’s own experience with depression and the way she was able to overcome it by “retraining” her brain.

Selena knows with conviction both through her work and through her personal experience that we CAN rewire our brains. She says that the process she shares with us is “simple” but not “easy”. Selena gives practical tactics to help make our brains more resilient to pain and remain peaceful in the midst of chaos.

In this episode, you will learn the role mirror neurons play in our depression, why the amygdala is wired to “protect us”, how we can train our brain to be “calm”, and how to use unconditional love as a tool to soothe loved ones through mental illness. She even asks me about the “moment of change” in my own journey and we discuss how using small moments can change the wiring of our brain.

Towards the end of the interview, we also dig into nutrition’s role in mental health, why sugar should be avoided and how the brain negatively responds to it, and why Selena believes that exercise is the “elixir of life”. This interview is not only inspirational but incredibly informative. Please connect with us in our private Facebook group and let us know what you learned!

Gratitude Meditation (David Scheiner)

admin — Thu, 18 Jul 2019 12:11:29 +0000

It is no secret that I love the subject of gratitude. However, after recently going through a meditation led by our guest this week, David Scheiner, I realized that there was another level that I wanted to take my meditation and gratitude practice.

David is a chiropractor who not only helps align others physically but also mentally and spiritually. From a young age, he says that he has always been fascinated by the spiritual and able to maintain a state of “calm”. He now helps others tune in and find inner peace despite the stressors that life may throw their way.

In today’s episode, David shares with us why he believes that there is a “still” pond inside all of us and how we can become the “silent observer” to the stressors in our lives. He also talks about how meditation equips us with the “space of freedom” to fully accept others and those around us and find the “gift” in suffering.

David also leads us through a POWERFUL meditation that left me almost speechless at the end. If you struggle with overwhelming anxiety or wonder hope you can find hope in seemingly hopeless situations, this episode is FOR you!

Overcoming Depression After a Friend’s Suicide (Andreas Zapletal)

admin — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 07:00:33 +0000

I am excited to introduce you to consultant, project manager, runner, and listener of the show, Andreas Zapletal whom I recently got to know through a mutual networking group that we are in. I am so grateful that Andreas reached out after listening to the show and generously shared his own mental health story with me. After hearing it, I knew I wanted to introduce him to you because his story is one many of us can relate to.

Andreas says that he has dealt with forms of depression since childhood but it wasn’t until he endured the loss of a close friend that he really took a long look at his physical and mental health and knew that there needed to be massive changes. He then began the journey to get into physical shape and through that discovered that running also had a positive influence on his depressive symptoms.

In this powerful conversation, Andreas shares with us about how through this process he learned that he was putting too much of his self-worth in his work and the importance of living with strong values and making your health and family as a priority. We also talk about the moment he had to have a difficult conversation with his daughter about his friends suidide and how that was a wake up call for him personally to pursue health.

Andreas also encourages us to reach out to someone if we are struggling. If you need someone to talk to please do not hesitate to reach out to our Facebook community. Remember, together is better.

Topics Discussed:

The importance of keeping stress levels at a manageable point.
How to find purpose through tragedy.
How to honor giving a loved one “space” but also being “there” for them.

In Loving Memory Of My Dear Cousin Dr. Avigail Rock (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 09:20:18 +0000

Can you find gratitude in the midst of grief?

This week, on my birthday, my first cousin Avigail lost her battle to cancer, leaving behind a husband and five children. She was a brilliant woman and we will miss her terribly. Through this loss, I learned an important lesson that I want to share with you in today’s episode.

After her passing, I began to reflect on my life and the importance of being grateful for each day. We are not guaranteed tomorrow and I realized that I needed to be grateful for every day of my life. Although my birthday was a difficult day to celebrate, I did a small practice that was very powerful and want to challenge you to join me.

I took my 43rd birthday as an opportunity to make a list of 43 memories that I am grateful for. Each year of my life I reflected on and was overwhelmed with gratitude. This practice was incredibly eye-opening for me because I started to remember the precious memories that I had forgotten.

Today I invite you to join me. Even through grief and sadness there is always hope. Join our private Facebook community and let us know about your own list, and the memories you are grateful for. Because as always, together is better.

Topics Discussed:

Finding gratitude in grief.
Being grateful for the life we live and appreciating each day.
A challenge to make a gratitude list.

Using Bipolar to Make a Big Difference in the World (Zahava List)

admin — Tue, 09 Jul 2019 07:02:51 +0000

This week we are sharing the POWERFUL story of Zahava List, the co-founder of Chazkeinu an organization that provides peer support and resources for Jewish women struggling with mental illness. Zahava’s passion for mental wellness began from her own story which she graciously shares with us today.

After delivering her first child, a baby boy, Zahava started experiencing manic episodes along with dark depression. She later was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and began her journey of recovery along with mothering three more children. She shares with us what is was like to be a new mother and struggle with this illness and how she navigated the ups and downs of these major life changes all at once.

In this episode, we not only hear her powerful story, but learn more about bipolar, why breaking stigma is so important, and why we need to lean into community and not suffer alone. We also find out how she used her struggles to find the courage not only for herself but for the countless amount of women that her organization reaches. Zahava provides so much hope to those who are struggling and we hope this episode encourages you that no matter what you may be suffering from, there is always hope.

The Impact of Receiving Gratitude Graciously (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Fri, 05 Jul 2019 05:19:28 +0000

Do you struggle receiving thanks? Or compliments? If someone expresses gratitude to you, do you shake it off or struggle with knowing what to say? This week on Attitude with Gratitude, we are discussing how to receive gratitude and why it is so important to do so.

For my entire life, I have struggled with receiving gratitude from others. I believe this comes from wanting to be humble, or perhaps an insecurity, but I know it isn’t a healthy habit. I notice that when I thank others they receive it graciously which makes me feel good as the one who says “thank you”. So why do I have a hard time receiving it myself?

I recently did a little research on this topic and in this episode share with you what I find. I want to be open with my own journey to hopefully help you learn how to receive gratitude yourself. I love the topic of gratitude and reflecting on it every week. It challenges me in my own journey and my own habits and I hope it does for you as well.

This week I invite you to reflect on how you receive gratitude and how you respond to others. If you have any thoughts or tips please join our private Facebook community and share with us your experience. Remember together is better!

Do you or someone you love suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? In today’s episode, I had the honor of sitting down with entrepreneur, and music enthusiast, Paul Sokol as he generously shares with us about his experiences with BPD and how it has affected him both professionally and personally.

Paul shares with us the common symptoms of BPD as well suggests tools for coping including DBT therapy, emotional wheels, and affirmations. We also talk about how loved ones can support those with BPD and why money should never be used as an excuse to keep you from seeking help.

Gratitude Thanking People (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 17:24:49 +0000

In this week’s Attitude of Gratitude, I wanted to do something a little bit different. Over the past couple of weeks, we have been talking about finding gratitude in things or situationsthat we have in our lives. In today’s episode, I wanted to talk about being grateful for PEOPLE. Specifically, those who do very small, seemingly insignificant acts of kindness or service for us.

I learned about the importance of this form of gratitude from one of my friends who taught me about always being thankful and kind to everyone. He went above and beyond to help everyone feel appreciated, like the waitress at the restaurant, or the person at the checkout counter.

It is important to allow yourself to really FEEL gratitude for the small things and truly SEE the good that others are doing for us. This doesn’t just affect us but causes a ripple effect of positive energy which will continue to influence others. Connect with us and let us know about a small act of service that you showed gratitude for this week. Join the conversation in our Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/2079694042156503/

Topics Discussed:

How we can use gratitude as a ripple effect.
Why we should give accelerated (and authentic) thanks.
The importance of seeing others that are not often thanked.

How do you handle depression and anxiety when you travel? What about when there are major life changes and you feel alone? How can you lean on others and use gratitude to pull you through some of the darkest of times?

This week I had the honor of connecting with mental health advocate, actor, artist, and comedian, Mari Stracke. I first discovered her on Instagram (@MariStracke) and fell in love with the work that she was doing around mental health. What struck me the most was how open she was about her struggles.

In our interview, Mari shares with us incredible tips like how she uses heat, writing letters to herself, and even chocolate to cope with her depression and anxiety. We also talk about the importance of identifying your support system and why taking tiny steps everyday matters. Mari shares that she has never had shame asking for help and we hope that this episode encourages you to connect with someone who can support you on this journey. Because as always, together is better.

A Neuroscientist’s Personal Mental Health Journey (Dr. Selena Bartlett)

admin — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 07:30:40 +0000

Can your brain CHANGE? Do we have the power to rewire unhealthy patterns, reverse years of bad habits, and create a new future for ourselves? Our guest this week says that we can and that our brains are MUCH more powerful than we could even imagine.

This week, I had the honor of interviewing Selena Bartlett, a neuroscientist, about her personal experience with mental illness and why she believes our brains are much more powerful than we are told. She shares with us a very moving story about a sister she lost to mental illness and how that experience has shifted her perception of the mental health field and her own career.

We also dig into the small changes that we need to make to begin the process of rewiring our brains and why “one-size” does not “fit all” when it comes to our mental health journey. The solutions Selena offers are simple, but of course not always easy. That is why we want to offer you a community of like-minded individuals who will walk you through the process of not only coping with mental health struggles but also THRIVING despite them.

Topics Discussed:

How long it takes to change connections in our brain.
What neuroplasticity is (and isn’t)
The effects of adverse childhood experiences.
Why love and attention is the antidote to most mental health struggles

Does Gratitude Lead to Joy or Does Joy Lead to Gratitude? (Attitude with Gratitude)

admin — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 06:04:52 +0000

I am reading a book right now by Melody Beattie, “Making Miracles in 40 Days.” that has a unique perspective on gratitude. How do you find gratitude in your life when things are not going well? How do we make space for gratitude even in the darkest of times? It is a short practice that I will be walking through over the next couple of weeks and I invite you to join me.

It’s not about not acknowledging things that are hard in your life. It is actually the opposite. It’s about giving space for those emotions and TRULY feeling them. Sometimes when we block our emotions it blocks us from our goals because we are carrying negative energy.

I also share with you a perspective on this topic from one of my favorite teachers, Brene Brown. Brene shines a new light on the link between joy and gratitude that you do not want to miss.

Find Your Mimi

admin — Tue, 11 Jun 2019 06:15:29 +0000

One of the number one questions that I get about depression and anxiety is how to know when and who to confide in about your struggle. This can be a very lonely journey and you may be desperate to share with a loved one or a friend but you may worry about how they may take it or if they will treat you differently.

In today’s episode, I share my own experience of telling those I loved about my depression and anxiety. I will tell you about a very special friend, Mimi, who was instrumental in my recovery and gave me a platform to heal. We talk about how to reveal your struggle to others for the first time, how to know who you can confide in, and why sharing is key to recovery. Together is always better.

Topics Discussed:

How to know who to talk to and when about your mental health.
The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people.
