The WellGrounded Life Show

Parijat Deshpande is a trauma-informed health strategist, high-risk pregnancy specialist, somatic trauma professional, bestselling author, speaker, and advocate for women who have been through second or third trimester loss, preterm delivery, neonatal loss, and birth trauma, and are preparing for a high-risk pregnancy. In this episode we explore how women can move through and heal from the trauma of a challenging, traumatic and/or high risk pregnancy.

For our final episode of the Season 3 series, we explore how to bring healthy cleansing into your life through the lens of the Vitality Framework. 

For episode 3 we take a pause to consider that some of the things "frozen" in our lives were a result of stress and trauma. And the thawing of them needs to be full of awareness, care and skill in healing what felt painful and difficult in our lives. 

We begin our Spring series with a macro exploration of what the season of Spring is calling us to do and how to take ourselves through the transition of Winter into Spring with our well-being center stage. 

Season 3: Cleanse Your Life Through the Spring Season Episode 2: How to bring more movement into your life In this episode, we explore how to begin to bring healthy movement back into your life - especially if you feel you are coming from a bone-tired, stagnant, frozen place throughout the winter. We explore movement from multiple layers and begin from the (very) inside out - even at a cellular level to consider ways to build natural momentum and allow activity and motion to ramp up in our lives effortlessly. 

Season 2: Healing Mental Burnout Episode 6: How Strong Is Your Basecamp In this final episode of Season 2, we explore how creating and maintaining a strong "inner basecamp" of well-being in your life allows us to engage, expand and explore in the world from a cared-for, safe and protected place. 

Season 2: Healing Mental Burnout Episode 5 How to Build Back from Burnout In this episode I talk with Anniedi Essien of Idem Spark (idemsparklife.com) about her journey back to bold and bodacious boss lady status after she found herself needing to come to terms with grief, overwhelm and losing that "spark" in her eyes from corporate burnout.

Season 2: Healing Mental Burnout Episode 4 How to Stop Worry Thoughts In Their Track In this episode we begin to explore habits of depletion vs habits of vitality... and focus in on one specific habit of depletion which is worrying.  More than simply identifying what our worry thoughts are and *hoping* they just go away because we want them to... we follow them back to their roots. And from that point learn the essence within every worry thought that is actually a seed for more love, calm, and joy to grow.   

Season 2: Healing Mental Burnout Episode 3: This episode explores what must be established first before healthy living goals are attempted. When this core essential is missing, people, groups, communities, and campaigns fail- no matter how much money they throw at the problem. I share from my own experience working on public health campaigns as a qualitative researcher in Boston - but the lessons learned and core principles are the same for personal wellness goals too.  

Season 2: Healing Mental Burnout Episode 2: Tending the Garden of Your Mind Want a real capacity to enjoy life with peace-of-mind? In this podcast I exploring how crucial it is to manage your thoughts like a garden - handling the weeds and plants differently so what you truly want to grow within has the space and nourishment it needs. And I share my favorite tool for persistent negative thoughts. 

Season 2: Healing Mental Burnout Episode 1: Three Doorways Of Self Care Being in the "wellness world" I often see how easily we can twist self-care into a mask for our perfectionism and our fears that we are not enough. Whenever I begin to hear women get rule-oriented around self-care practices -- or start to talk about what they "should" be doing or what they are "failing at" when it comes to self-care -- I get a red flag that pops up.  And this podcast explains why -- it shares how I keep self care in check in my own life. Truth is, you have to walk through each of these doorways in the right order, if self care is truly going to be healing and life-giving.
