Once Upon A Mental Crisis

Health has become very important to me since losing my father. I talk about what motivated me to start taking care of myself physically and losing 20 pounds over the span of 4 months!

For the month of February, I share my grievance after witnessing my father's death. His passing hit me like a block, and it was very difficult dealing with his death. I discuss what steps I took towards processing the loss of my father. 

January episode covers the reason why I took the year 2021 off from podcasting and coaching. I discuss the moments I spent before, during, and after my father's passing. 

I'm back and ready to share my challenges in 2021! Season 6 will be devoted to updating you guys on my current mental health, past events covered in previous seasons, and from 2021! Look forward to an exciting new season!

Happy New Year! 2021! This year is filled with hope and promise. What is your resolution, if you have one? I'll share mine! Follow me here: Website: www.onceuponamentalcrisis.com IG: @oumc_podcast Facebook: @OnceUponAMentalCrisis TikTok: oumc_mentalcrisis Email: xaimoorecoaching@gmail.com

On today's podcast, I am joined with a very good friend of mine, Alberto (also known as BeawBeaw Gaming). He and I met through a singles night event that I hosted for a Facebook group we both are apart of. Since then, we have gotten closer to each other and have become very good friends together, along with the other participants we met during the event. Through our times spent together, we've learned so much about our shared interests and commonalities, and among one of them is our experiences with depression. Tune in today's episode to hear from the unique perspective of a dear friend who's experienced depression from a young age, how he copes with it today, and how you can discover signs of depression for yourself or for someone you feel may be going through depression. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

There are a lot of challenging things in life, which makes life itself challenging. Sometimes it seems like just when we're about to get comfortable or feel good about our lives, something happens and flips the table. It's frustrating. It's saddening because it seems that no matter how much we try, we just can't get to where we want to be. Today's episode focuses on how I used to feel about challenges, and what I do now to keep me going. Don't give up! Your story has only just begun!

Welcoming you back after a month hiatus! What did I do while on a break? I celebrated! I enjoyed my life as much as I could, and in doing so, I discovered that living life just isn't about the end prize, it's about enjoying every second of it. Today's episode highlights turning 30 and the meaning of life.

**The audio is a little echoed, so I apologize. I felt like I couldn't do it justice if I recorded the content, so please bear with it. Thank you!** Today I share some coping methods on how I process my emotions. I've had a lot of things happen recently that could have turned on my depression again but with these coping skills and months of practicing them, I was able to cope through a lot of the emotional turmoil. A big message that I want to convey is "Don't be afraid of your emotions". They exist to help us be aware of our surroundings and ourselves. Emotions are what makes our lives real and worth living. Once we understand our emotions, we must practice gratitude for them. Being grateful for being alive and for ourselves is very hard to do, however, it's not impossible. Gratitude allows us to be truly happy for what we have and what we can have.

Having a case of podcaster block (writer's block for podcasting?). There are many things I want to talk about, but the words just aren't coming out right. So I spent this podcast just appreciating the good moments that have occurred since my last recorded episode. Apology beforehand if it feels unorganized, maybe it'll be entertaining.

Take a moment to discover your why. Our life expectations are taught to us by our parents or role models, and because we may easily adopt these expectations, we forget where and why we have them. My journey into self-empowerment has brought me face to face with my 'Why". What drives me? What pushes me to do the things that I do? In today's episode, I talk about my "Why" and why it's important to you. **Also at some point in the episode, you will hear my cat meowing for me. I chose not to re-record it, cause apparently, he had some stuff to say too*

We're currently facing a worldwide pandemic. Uncertainty and fear surround us as we all try to make the best out of this situation. Today is a brief episode of staying positive and focused. It's not easy to stay positive with everything happening, but it doesn't mean we don't try. Soothe yourself with some music or a conversation. That's what I have had to do. If you're looking for someone to talk to and share your thoughts, message me! I'm currently offering free coaching sessions! We can talk about you, your relationships, or anything you want.

We all have internal struggles that either keep us up at night or stop us from making the next move in our careers. My most current roadblock was/is the fear of success. Here I am knowing that I am making wonderful progress in my social, personal, and business life, and yet, I have this little voice inside me telling me that it's not going to be worth it. Why? Thankfully, Ariel Arnson reached out to me. In this episode, Ariel joins me on the podcast to talk about RTT, short for Rapid Transformational Therapy.

Hello! I know I sound like a 14 year old girl, but I promise I'm not. I'm turning 29. Anyways, I've produced the perfect introduction to my podcast.
