In this episode, we chat with Dr. Christina Iglesia all about #therapyiscool and the meaning behind the campaign.  What is #THERAPYISCOOL? It is an invitation to join a community of people dedicated to raising awareness and combating mental health stigma. This mental health campaign is a call to action on two fronts.

BURNOUT. It’s real, and it’s not that you should just be able to manage everything you’ve got going on better. We promise. It’s society that’s got it wrong. While millennials have been coined as ‘lazy’, burnout is on the rise especially for this generation. (Anybody read that Buzzfeed article than went viral about this?!) Regardless of if you are a millennial, if you've ever been told you "work or do too much" and you don't know how to stop, you'll want to listen to this. "This [life] isn't a task to complete or a line on a to-do list, or even a New Year’s resolution.

FEEL, HEAL, DEAL We should have all received a manual at birth on ‘how-to express your emotions’ but since we didn’t, we cover the basics in this episode with a return guest, Courtney Callaway, LPC, RYT, EMDR-trained therapist. Courtney even shares an original rap about feelings on this episode. Trust me, you don’t want to miss that (Jay-Z, will you sign her?!) Feelings do not come out of the blue, baby. Feelings are influenced by your thoughts, perceptions and beliefs.  Beliefs are typically unconscious so you could be unaware of your thoughts surrounding a topic that causes you to have a certain feeling.  Feelings can also be aggravated by stress so if you are already stressed-out your body and mind are primed to be  set-off quicker and easier. Feelings are energy. If you’re in touch with your feelings and can express them, you’ll feel more energetic. If you’re out of touch with your feelings or unable to give them expression you may feel anxious or depressed. Feelings are contagious. Those people that are

Can anyone relate to being highly sensitive person (HSP) ?! Or do you have someone close to you that is a HSP?! Did you even know the was a thing? So 20% of the population is highly sensitive, a trait that can even be found in other species. And 50% of people with mental health issues have the trait. So if you don’t have it, you probably know someone that does!

Wow! This episode is long overdue. We talk about #selflove and being kind to yourself in almost every episode, and we mean the real, research based self-love... Self-Compassion. Julianne is speaking to Denette Mann, Psychotherapy Services, a therapist and a Certified Self-Compassion Teacher. Those who are self-critical are at high risk for depression and stress and are not as effective at implementing coping skills. Researchers find that more self-compassion leads to more constant feelings of self-worth, more than self-esteem. That’s because self-esteem may depend on comparing yourself favorably to others (and being judgy), while self-compassion is an intrinsic acceptance of yourself. These same research studies show... People who accept their personal failures are more likely to take steps to improve themselves. Women who accept their physical imperfections have a more positive body image no matter their BMI. Details of the Episode: *Defining Self-Compassion *Research *Myths about Self-Compassion (self-compa

Sheryl Paul, therapist, online course creator, & best selling author, has been interviewed by Oprah multiple times, and works with celebrities like Alanis Morissette. And she knows love and relationship anxiety! Her work is seriously like a How To Date/Love/Be in a Relationship Guide that everyone should receive as a course at an early age! Being single, desiring a relationship, dating, or being in a long-term relationship, it's all difficult. But you don’t see that on your friend’s high light reels or in Disney movies! "What we do learn (about relationships) we absorb from popular culture, which largely derives its wisdom from the Disney paradigm of love: Meet, fall in love, know you've met "the One", feel instantly and always attracted, have wild, passionate sex, live happily ever after. Perhaps the most damaging message we receive is that love is supposed to be easy. Without a paradigm that allows for difficult times, and even expects difficulty as it understands that intimate relationships are an oppo

Okay, people what if we have the procedures of achievement all wrong?! We are talking with Jessica Jordan a Desire Map Planner Teacher, the Super Yoga Palace Owner, Experienced-Registered Yoga Teacher, and member of The Polyphonic Spree (what doesn't this girl do?!?) “Typically we come up with our to-do lists, our bucket lists, and our strategic plans — all the stuff we want to have, get, accomplish, and experience outside of ourselves. All of those aspirations are being driven by an innate desire to feel a certain way. How do you want to feel… when you look at your schedule for the week? when you get dressed in the morning? when you walk through the door of your office? when you pick up the phone? when you cash the check? when you fall in love? when you accept the award? when you make the sale? What if, first, we got clear on how we actually wanted to feel in our life, and then we laid out our intentions? What if your most desired feelings consciously informed how you plan your day, your year, your career, y
