Hi friends! I know I have been mentioning this interview for a while now, and we were finally able to make it happen! My very special guest today is Dr. Laurie Mintz, Ph.D. Dr. Laurie is a college professor at the University of Florida who teaches the psychology of human sexuality and has over twenty years of experience working with private clients on general and sexual issues. She has also published more than fifty research studies, has written two books (Becoming Cliterate, and A Tired Woman's Guide to Passionate Sex), is a speaker (including a fabulous TedTalk which is linked below), and even writes a popular blog on Psychology Today. She is also a Taurus! I have read her book Becoming Cliterate numerous times now, so narrowing down what questions I wanted to ask and share with you was pretty difficult, but I know you are going to take so many great things away from our conversation today!

So, just going along with this ADHD series, were here today to talk about stimming: self stimulation. I had no idea this was a thing until..well..Tiktok? Then I looked it up, and all the things I have been doing over the years that were labeled "quirky" made sense. So, we just have a somewhat short lil baby episode where I talk about some of those today! Let's go on ahead and hop on to it.  ALSO: There is a new HOTLINE!  GO TO THERE! You can record as many times as you want, so there's no pressure. I'd love to hear from you.  https://www.speakpipe.com/msg/s/275240/1/432yju6o5uww9lk2 Love you, See you next time! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/newmoonwellbeing/message

We also talk about updates on life situations.  Let's go on ahead and hop on to it.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/newmoonwellbeing/message

Ahhhh...so glad to be back. This episode is just, you know, me ranting about the state of the world, and my own personal struggles under this system of oppression!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/newmoonwellbeing/message

Today, I give you a life update, and then we talk about integrity! Let's go on ahead, and hop on to it. Also, I just wanted to thank you for being a listener. It means the world to me. I hope that me sharing myself with you has made you feel less alone, and bonus points if any of this has helped you. I love you! Just as you are!

Today, were talking about success, how to define it for yourself, and some steps to reach the level of success you're moving towards, as well as a bunch of stuff I ramble on about (like normal). Let's go on ahead and hop on to it!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/newmoonwellbeing/message

Ahhh...I just know that this is your favorite kind of episode. The episodes where I ramble. Honestly, they are some of my favorite episodes too, even if I do feel a vulnerability hangover afterwards. #worthit. So, let's go on ahead and hop on to it.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/newmoonwellbeing/message

WOOP. This is the last installment, and I hope that you've been enjoying the ride. Today we are going to talk about the difference between protective force and punitive force, the cost of punishment, liberating ourselves and counseling others, and expressing appreciation (oof thats a hard one). I'd love to hear how this resonates with you? What areas do you want to practice NVC in your life?  I know things are tough right now, and things feel heavy. I am sending my love to you

Part 4, here we are. We discuss self compassion for ourselves, self forgiveness, conflict resolution with ourselves and someone else, or other groups, and mediation, and all the things related to the process connected to it. Let's go on ahead and hop onto it.

Today, we are hopping on to part 3, making requests that enrich our lives, receiving empathically, and the power of empathy. So, let's go on ahead and hop on to it.  LOVE YOU! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/newmoonwellbeing/message

So, now that we have covered what nonviolent communication is, and the first step of the process (observe), we are going to delve into feelings: identifying them and expressing them (including anger), while at the same time, taking responsibility for our feelings. So, let's get our metaphorical hands dirty, and hop onto it.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/newmoonwellbeing/message

Ok ok ok. I have been putting this off long enough. Here is am to talk about something difficult BUT TRANSFORMATIVE when it comes to having real connection with others and with ourselves so that we can have more satisfying, heart centered, compassionate, empathetic, authentic relationships. This is going to be a unknown number of episodes series, mostly because I havent figured out the details of each episode except for this one. STAY TUNED FOR MORE. If you want to learn more, please check out Marshall Rosenberg's book Nonviolent Communication as well as his workbook that goes along with it. He also has a game that allows us to work on this in group settings called GROK Your World, If that piques your interest.  As always, you can follow me on IG @newmoonhannah, or head straight to my website for recipes, blog posts, and services at newmoonwellbeing.org.

The title really explains it all. We live in a world that wants you to appear "true" to yourself, but not really; a society that pushes you to only show the sides of you that make others comfortable, or that will get the most clicks.

I actually learned about the Polyvagal Theory in Dr. Nicole LePera's book, "How to do the work", and it just clicked. I remember learning about the nervous system in school, but we really didnt discuss in depth what it looks like when it's dysregulated.  I have had a lot of stuff going on in my life this year, and learning about this helped me to understand what this feeling I had was, and how I can try to get my nervous system back to homeostasis, but also tone my vagal nerve. I have used a lot of Dr. LePera's work in this episode, as well as some other research I have done.  I would highly suggest reading her book, along with Dr. Stephen Porges book, "Polyvagal Theory", and "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk.  Let's go on ahead and hop on to it!

Ahhhh, the ego. Something highly misunderstood. You probably have heard it both ways? "That guy has an ego...." or "you should really work on your ego if you want to be more confident...".  Well, you're in luck.

The Eight Worldly Dharmas in Buddhism are four pairs of attachments and aversions that we experience continually in our daily lives, that yoke us to samsara, the cycle of suffering. They are the four hopes and corresponding four fears, which we cycle through endlessly—until, that is, we discover enlightenment (which includes liberation from the eight worldly concerns).

Now, this term, the Highly Sensitive Person, is quite new to me. But it was refreshing to hear. You know how you just move through life without ever having a specific word to communicate something you feel or are, and then you hear it, and you're like YES! That's me! Maybe you've wondered, am I a highly sensitive person? What does this mean? I have always been told that I am sensitive. When I was younger, actually up until recently, I thought this was a bad thing. So, if you are also sensitive, please know: this is a gift, and if you can figure out how to use it to your advantage, how to WIELD its power, life will feel a lot less overwhelming. Well, that's what this whole episode is about today! Find out if you are a highly sensitive person, and how to THRIVE IN LIFE AS ONE.  So, let's go on ahead and hop on to it!  Feel free to leave a voicemail @ 512.522.5392 Please be very well, Love, Hannah --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/newmoonwellbeing/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newmoonwellbeing/support

Welcome back to the last part of the Attachment Styles series. Today, we are discussing the, in my opinion, destructive/hurtful/complicated of all the styles: Fearful-Avoidant/Disorganized. We will talk about what happens in childhood to create this kind of bond, what it looks like in adults, and how to work on getting closer to the "earned secure attachment", which is the goal and will allow you to feel all the ways you've been wanting to feel in your relationships.  Let's go on ahead and hop on to it!  PLEASE!: If you are enjoying this podcast, leave a review, subscribe and share with a friend or a loved one!

In part three of this series, we talk about what it means to have an anxious-preoccupied attachment style. This specific style is deeply personal to me because when I decided to learn more about attachment styles, I realized this is the one I identify with the most.

The attachment bond we have with our caregivers growing up is not only a preview of what our relationships will look like, but also the relationship we have with ourselves. I remember learning about this back when I was in school (originally majored in psych, then minored), but I don't think I understood the weight it could hold in understanding some of the patterns I have been more cognizant of recently. This is exactly why I wanted to share this information with you. Maybe this might open your eyes to something you have never thought of or maybe just glanced over. I strongly believe knowledge is power. I would also recommend, if this does resonate with you, to seek help from a licensed therapist. I am currently doing just that, and I say go for it as well.  Find out more and follow New Moon Wellbeing by clicking the links below: Newmoonwellbeing.org https://www.instagram.com/newmoonwellbeing/ https://www.instagram.com/_hgarland/ https://facebook.com/newmoonwellbeing Subscribe to the podcast to keep up to date on all new episodes!

Mental health is something of utmost importance to me. As you can probably tell, a lot of my episodes are related to things that I am personally working through. The reason I do this, the reason I share my own experiences and opinions is because I hope to allow the listeners to relate, to feel validated, to feel less alone in their struggles. I like to shine light on things that most of us don't really talk about, at least not outside of closed therapy doors. I just wanted to note, in case it isn't obvious, I am not a therapist or a doctor. So please, listen and take what you need and leave what you don't. The words thoughts and emotions are something I have struggled with separating from each other. When it comes to how we talk to ourselves, and how we respond to our thoughts and the emotions that come along with our thoughts, I feel it is imperative that we know the difference. Join me as we have an intimate chat about what the difference is, and how this can help us in our day to day lives.
