If you're an over-thinker, or someone who feels emotions intensely, today's episode is for you.   I'm joined by Betsy Dwight, an expert (and my coach!)  in EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), to discuss how this powerful tool can help you process emotions in a healthy, productive way.If you've been listening to the past few episodes - you know that lately, I've been feeling everything more intensely, and am more quick to anger. I also know I'm not alone in this. The weight of emotions can feel overwhelming. And that's where  tapping comes in— it's something FREE to do (nothing needed but your fingers) - and it's been a HUGE help in my life since I started doing it last spring. Not only will Betsy outline the concept, she'll also do a (quick) LIVE session with me, where I get real honest and process what's been going on. And in this episode, Betsy shares how EFT can help you reconnect with your intuition and release built-up emotional tension.We're covering:How losing touch with your intuition happens, especially for sensitive, ambitious individualsWhat EFT tapping is How it works to regulate your nervous system and energy systemThe types of emotional and physical challenges EFT can help addressThe surprising speed at which people see results from tappingBetsy walking me through my issues in a  tapping sequence for angerHow it can be used alongside other modalities Betsy's feel good thing! Resources: EFT-Tapping guide: http://subscribepage.io/intro-guide-to-eft-tappingBetsy's Instagram: https://instagram.com/sensitive.soul_healing/Betsy's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCORCqQH22qeKhcUuKuanJ4AAbout Betsy:Betsy Dwight created Sensitive Soul: Coaching + Healing from her personal experience as an ambitious, overly analytical, highly sensitive woman living in a pressured world that disconnected her from her greatest strength: her intuition.She is a certified EFT Tapping practitioner with a specialty in mindfulness coaching.

Mental health is paramount. We know this. But what you might not is that when it comes to  women and mental health - the support, and the research itself, does NOT add up.And that's what we're talking about in today's episode of feelgoodery. After I give a quick rundown on the wild allergy season we're having, and a few foundational things to consider! Then - I'm talking with Sandi Treliving, a passionate mental health advocate and the force behind womenmind.

In 2014, she became a Director on CAMH Foundation's Board and in 2020 she and her family became founding funders of CAMH's womenmind, a community of philanthropists committed to closing the gender gap in mental health. Sandi sits on the Advisory Council of HXOUSE, a community incubator that helps foster innovation and opportunity for creative entrepreneurs and is also Chair of the Advisory Board for Telefilm Canada's Talent to Watch, a private donation fund dedicated to the discovery, development and promotion of Canada's next generation of emerging filmmakers and content creators.

If this headline made you do a double take, you're not alone. We know that the nutrition world can be incredibly confusing, and frankly, incredibly annoying.Part of the reason I do this podcast is to vent about my frustrations about the industry, because sometimes it really is exhausting to see all of the contradictory information out there.  And it can leave us feeling like there's not even a point in trying, which doesn't serve us. Recently, a headline came out stating that intermittent fasting might be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death  . . . which is a very dramatic statement. So in today's episode, I want us to eat a major grain of salt and really break this all down, so you feel equipped to come to your own conclusions. We're covering:what I did immediately when this article was sent to mewhat was the study that made this claim?  was it a published study? why are observational studies tricky? let's play devil's advocate . . . what could be a reason for this finding? why could intermittent fasting increase the risk of cardiovascular death? why it could be more important that ever to focus on this one macronutrient the takeawaytoday's feelgood thing Want to stay in the loop about upcoming announcements and ways in which we can work together?

If there's a healing modality that can bring up some polarizing opinions… it's homeopathy. Some say it's incredibly effective (even where all else fails), some scoff it off as nothing but placebo.
