 This episode is all about the transformative power of practicing self-love and how it can deepen your relationships. Get ready to dive deep into this important topic and discover the magic that self-love can bring to your life. In our fast-paced world, we often forget to prioritize ourselves and our own needs. But self-love isn't just about bubble baths and treating yourself to something nice (although those things are important too!). It's about recognizing your own worth, embracing your strengths, and being kind and gentle with yourself, even in the face of challenges. When you practice self-love, something amazing happens. You start to radiate a sense of confidence and inner peace that not only benefits you, but also has a profound impact on your relationships. You become more compassionate towards yourself and others, allowing for deeper connections and understanding. One of the beautiful things about self-love is that it acts as a mirror, reflecting back to you the love and respect you deserve. When you truly love and accept yourself, you attract people who genuinely appreciate and value you for who you are. It's like a magnet for healthy, fulfilling relationships. We'll also be diving into the concept of self-worth and how it impacts the way we show up in relationships. By understanding our own value and treating ourselves with kindness, we can break free from patterns of self-sabotage and start attracting the love and connection we truly desire. This episode will empower you to create deeper, more meaningful relationships, starting with the most important one – the relationship with yourself. Remember, you are worthy of love, and practicing self-love will bring you closer to the fulfilling, connected relationships you deserve. Own Your Journey!

Hello everyone, I'm Maria Grace, the host of "The GRACE Matrix™, Own Your Journey" podcast. Today, I want to talk about something that some may dismiss as "woo woo", but I believe it's worth exploring - the influence of the full moon on our mental health. Now, before you click away, hear me out. The moon's energy is universal, and it affects all of us, whether we realize it or not. Personally, I've noticed a significant impact on my mental state during the full moon, and I've seen similar patterns in my clients as well. During this lunar phase, I often find myself experiencing heightened emotions and increased anxiety. It's as if everything is magnified, and even the smallest things can trigger a strong reaction. It can be overwhelming, to say the least. But why does this happen? Well, it all comes down to the moon's gravitational pull. Just like how it affects the tides, it also affects our bodies. During the full moon, there is an increase in fluid retention, which can lead to physical discomfort and bloating. But it doesn't stop there - our emotional sensitivity is also heightened. So, what can we do to support our mental well-being during this time? I've found that practicing mindfulness, meditation, and self-care can make a world of difference. Taking a few moments each day to ground ourselves, breathe deeply, and focus on the present moment can help us navigate the emotional rollercoaster that the full moon often brings. Additionally, engaging in self-care activities that bring us joy and relaxation can help alleviate some of the anxiety and stress. Whether it's taking a long bath, going for a walk in nature, or indulging in a creative hobby, find what works for you and make it a priority during the full moon. Instead of resisting or dismissing the moon's influence, I encourage you to embrace it. Allow the moon to guide you on your journey of self-discovery and growth. Pay attention to the patterns and emotions that arise during this time, and use them as valuable insights into your own inner world. Remember, we are all connected to the universe in ways we may not fully understand. So, let's honor and respect the moon's energy, and in doing so, support our own mental well-being. Thank you for joining me today, and until next time, embrace the moon's guidance on your journey.

TRIGGER WARNING: I just want to give you a little heads-up that we touched briefly on some topics that might be sensitive for some people. So, if you feel like this could affect you, feel free to take a breather or skip this part. Your well-being is important to us! Hey there! In this podcast episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredible Dr. Emily Fessler. She's not only a faculty member at the University of Houston Clear Lake but also a sex therapist. Dr. Fessler shared her fascinating journey into the world of sex therapy and highlighted how it's all about understanding relationship dynamics rather than just giving out sex tips. We dove deep into the misconceptions and stigma surrounding sex therapy and why sexual education is so important. Dr. Fessler also shed light on the barriers that can hinder our sexual connections and even suggested that planning for intimacy can actually be super beneficial. But that's not all! We also talked about the need for connection and community among therapists. Dr. Fessler is working on an amazing project called the Therapy Collective, which aims to create a supportive community for therapists in Houston. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and join us for this enlightening and inspiring conversation. Trust me, you won't want to miss it! About Dr. Emily Fessler : After years of traversing the uphill battle of being a BIPOC woman/mother in academia, and almost two decades as a therapist, I've come to recognize that I can take advantage of the privilege of being comfortable in my own skin. On the outside, that often looks like a pair of ripped jeans and kicking off my heels over to sit crossed-legged in my chair while I sip my iced coffee. On the inside, I realize that I'm lucky because every morning when I open my eyes, I look forward to the day ahead; I love my job, I work with clients that are well-suited to my skill set, and I'm good at what I do. After years of working in the trenches of mental health, I am so happy to work with people in the exact ways that I want to. One of my long-time clients dubbed me “the everyday people's sex therapist” and I can't count on both hands the number of times that I've been cornered at a party by someone that says, “Soo….can I ask you a weird question?” Owner and Principle Therapist at Therapy Co. in Houston, TX; Associate Professor for the University of Houston Clear Lake Website: https://therapyco.net/ Insta: @thefullemilyexperience Topics:  1️⃣ Dr. Emily Fessler's background and journey in becoming a sex therapist 2️⃣Sex Drive versus Sex Break 3️⃣The role of sex therapy in addressing high conflict issues in relationships 4️⃣ Misconceptions and stigma surrounding sex therapy  5️⃣ Barriers to sexual connection and reframing them Own Your Journey!

In this new podcast episode, my guest Leslie Tagorda, brand astrologer, designer, podcast host, and author shares with us how astrology can be used as a tool for both personal & professional growth.  Leslie opens up about her personal journey and how astrology has helped her navigate through life.row. Leslie Tagorda (she/her), is a multiracial brand astrologer, designer, podcast host, and author. As an Aquarius (Sun), Sagittarius (Moon), Gemini (Rising) and Human Design Projector, she found her calling navigating visionary spiritual entrepreneurs and social impact makers, to their star-charted success in their spiritual journey through their work. Leslie: “The powerful smile and purpose you see now is relatively new. If you had met me as a brand designer 5 years ago, you would have met a woman that dimmed her light and felt lost in comparison and crippling self doubt. I have always loved astrology and I knew that we are multifaceted, more dynamic than just our Sun sign. All that I had learned about branding, our positioning, our why, our values, I could now see in my own natal chart. It was this a-ha moment, when I recognized what had always been right in front of my nose - an innovative way to specify a brand's position, voice and style using Astrology - without guessing, copying or comparing! At that instance of recognition, I decided to bring my deep spirituality and love of astrology out of the closet and fashion it into a strategic, practical tool to create soul-aligned brand identities, leadership and visibility. After all, our businesses and work are part of our soul's spiritual journey!  When not stargazing and advising, I'm a professional classical clarinetist with my nationally-recognized chamber ensemble Quinteto Latino and playing in groups like the San Francisco Ballet and the San Francisco Opera. I reside in the occupied land of the Ohlone Ramaytush currently called San Francisco with my husband and son.”  Check Out Leslie's Offerings here:  ⭐️ Written in the Stars - Intro To How To Read Your Natal Chart for Business - Learn how to create, direct and navigate your business using astrology in a way that is inclusive, empowering and 100% unique to you!

In the previous episode, I promised a recorded Guided Meditation for Anxiety support that has helped me calm my racing mind. I highly recommend using headphones to listen and practice this meditation as we embark on a journey to embrace the power of breath, visualization, and self-compassion to relax the mind and nurture our inner peace. In our fast-paced and often demanding lives, anxiety has become a common companion for many. It can manifest as a constant worry, racing thoughts, or a general sense of unease that disrupts our well-being and hinders our ability to experience life fully. Fortunately, guided meditation offers a powerful tool for finding solace and tranquility within ourselves. By combining soothing verbal guidance with gentle imagery and relaxation techniques, guided meditation provides a pathway to calm the mind, release tension, and cultivate a profound sense of peace. Get your headphones ready and find a quiet and comfortable space, make yourself at ease, and let us begin this transformative exploration.   * Please note that this guided meditation is not a substitute for professional help. If you are experiencing severe anxiety or mental health concerns, we encourage you to seek appropriate support from a qualified healthcare provider. Take care of yourself, and let us now embark on this healing journey together. Listen on Youtube: https://youtu.be/vKWOnEf-Jcw

In this episode, our guest Steph Tuazon talks about how through self-discovery, she was able to reconnect with herself and was able to heal from the trauma she's experienced in her past.  How taking up space may be difficult, especially for people of color. How challenging it might be to be mindful about not using her successes to define her and how discrimination, trauma, and microaggression can all substantially influence one's growth. When healing from trauma, it is necessary to understand where our beliefs are rooted and does it feel true to us. Music and dance are also effective therapeutic techniques to divert your energy. Topics Discussed: The challenges of taking up space and how uncomfortable it can be, especially as a person of color Being intentional about not relying solely on her accomplishments to define her and how she shows up The impact of discrimination, trauma, and microaggression The process of self-discovery and how Steph reconnected with herself Decolonizing pleasure Harmful mindsets about money The Filipino Myth of the “Manananggal” and concepts of sexuality and pleasure in different cultures Healing through therapy, nature, and relationships The importance of feeling safe and exploring safe positions in your body Incorporating music and dance as a way to process and explore trauma You can find Steph Tuazon here: Website | www.hiyatherapy.com About Steph Tuazon Stephanie Tuazon is a Pinay/Pilipinx-American therapist seeking to create a healing environment and safer container for those looking to explore their identities, purpose, and authenticity.

Gambling can lead to addiction because it stimulates the brain's reward system. The thrill of winning can create a rush of dopamine in the brain, which can turn into a cycle of chasing bets that lead to losses to recreate that feeling. This can result in financial problems, relationship issues, and other negative consequences, including thoughts of ending one's life. This is the story of my guest. An innocent game of poker that led to a cycle of unhealthy choices and feelings of defeat that he thought would never end. In today's episode, I talk with Patrick Casale, a group practice owner, private practice coach, podcast host, and retreat planner, as he shares his struggle with gambling addiction and how he was able to turn the tables to success. It's important to seek help if you or someone you know is struggling with gambling addiction. Resources available, such as therapy, support groups, and treatment programs, can help individuals overcome their addiction and develop healthier coping mechanisms. The National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-522-4700) is available 24/7 and is 100% confidential. GamblersAnonymous Topics Discussed: Gambling addiction as a form of escapism The cycle of addiction The lack of Addiction Therapists Importance of self-awareness during the healing process Behavioral patterns and breaking undesired patterns Challenges of working in community mental health and leaving to start a private practice Patrick's success as an entrepreneur with retreats, podcasts, and group practice Neurodivergence and the importance of understanding boredom, creativity and stimulation You can find Patrick Casale: Website | www.allthingspractice.com Facebook Page | www.facebook.com/CasaleCoaching Instagram | @allthingsprivatepractice LinkedIn | www.linkedin.com/in/patrickcasale-privatepracticestrategist Tik Tok | @casalecoaching About Patrick Casale: Patrick Casale has been working in the helping profession since 2008.

Abby Chow is a Registered Clinical Counselor occupying Turtle Island, in what is colonially known as Canada. Coming from a fine arts and then business background, she is also a Supervisor and Adjunct Professor. She runs a group practice dedicated to anti-oppressive practice, both within the team and in their work. Her current life and work both focus on one question - how do we intentionally prioritize justice-doing in our everyday lives? Words from Abby: “I'm a cis, (mostly) able-bodied, straight-sized, half-gen, racialized settler from Hong Kong. As a child of diaspora, systemically imposed scarcity and the resulting emotional impact categorized much of my life growing up. As the only member of the family who speaks English, I started taking care of the family at 8 years old, driving a misguided need to move closer to capitalist and colonialist values. It wasn't until my graduate program that I was radicalized and had to undergo (and still am undergoing) unlearning the indoctrination of our violent society to move towards collective liberation. The journey has been and will be full of mistakes and discomfort, but also full of people who have held me up and stuck by me through them. I am now using these experiences in my work and projects to hold others in a loving accountability as we all move towards a world we actually want to live in.” The Reflecting on Justice Membership. Towards collective liberation through unlearning, together. When you join this membership, you get: ~Access to our Justice in Action online community of practitioners who are all looking to unlearn systemic oppression; ~Monthly editions of our specially curated Liberation Digest, a content drop that helps to spark new perspectives in unlearning; ~Unpacking Complicity reflection prompts based on the Liberation Digest of the month; ~And dedicated time to hangout/deep dive on monthly content as a community through facilitated Fireside Chats.

Missing that romance prior to kids? Couples expert Abby Nordquist has the solution to reignite that fire in your relationship. Listen in on our conversation and find out how. Abby Nordquist is a mother of two, an entrepreneur, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York, and a relationship coach. Abby: My own experience with having to reprioritize my relationship with my partner - plus years of working with couples in my therapy practice - has really shown me how pervasive this struggle is. Parents really have a hard time figuring out how to reconnect after having kids. This is why I created the Missing Us program. There are so many couples out there that don't quite need couples therapy, but who do need the structure, information, and guidance to reconnect. It's a three-month group coaching program. Couples participate together with other couples who are also struggling to connect in parenthood. Each week there's a new lesson with the best research and practical tips, plus a weekly group coaching call where you get to work with me on your specific needs, hear from the other couples, and have private time with your partner to work through reflection questions about that week's topic.

And now only those who loved them Know what that little line is worth For it matters not, how much we own, The cars...the house...the cash. What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So, think about this long and hard. Are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what's true and real And always try to understand The way other people feel. And be less quick to anger And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect And more often wear a smile, Remembering this special dash Might only last a little while So, when your eulogy is being read With your life's actions to rehash... Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent YOUR dash?

According to the CDC, about 1 in 44 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) . ASD can present itself at 18 months or younger. By age 2, a diagnosis by an experienced professional can be considered very reliable. ASD impacts the development of the brain and causes the individual to have behavioral challenges along with problems with social, emotional, and communication skills. Many parents who have a child on the autism spectrum struggle in knowing how to best address their son's or daughter's needs. I recently sat down with Christine Melendres, a licensed social worker, whose first son, Lucas, was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. Christine explains what it is like to be a parent of a child with autism.
