Podcasts about finding support

In this episode, I am sharing the early part of my journey that started with dealing with teen substance abuse, and trying to find the counselling and support that led me to group programs, counsellors, psychologists, and programs, turning over rocks to try to find solutions. In the process, I found the difference between traditional psychology and NLP, recognizing that I am not diagnosing or treating anything. I am sharing my experience.  I eventually discovered a crisis counsellor program that offered me practical guidance during moments of crisis, which was a game-changer for me. This experience led me to question traditional counselling methods, particularly the focus on past trauma, as exemplified by Freud's approach. Instead, I found solace and empowerment in Adler's future-focused perspective, which aligns closely with NLP. NLP is based on shifting our identity and focusing on the future rather than reliving and giving energy to our past traumas, easily allowing that to become our identity.

In this episode of The Soaring Child, host Dana Kay talks with homeschooling expert and author Linsey Knerl about how homeschooling can be a game-changer for kids with ADHD. Linsey, a mom of six and author of Homeschool Hacks: How to Give Your Kid a Great Education Without Losing Your Job or Your Mind, shares her two decades of experience and wisdom. Together, they explore the flexibility and power of homeschooling for families who feel stuck in traditional education systems that don't serve neurodivergent learners. Dana and Linsey break down common fears around homeschooling, like not being "qualified," managing costs, and working while teaching. They discuss how to make learning more natural, how screens can help (or hurt), and what daily life can really look like—from toddlers to teens. Whether you're curious about alternatives to school or ready to dive into homeschooling, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and encouragement.

This episode is a replay of a previous episode of Dance Dad with John Corella. Enjoy! Happy Pride!    “I loved how free I was,” reflects Ally Marc Jacobs, a transgender teen and emerging star in the worlds of voguing and drag. Inspired by the House of Juicy Couture's performances and the House of Balmain  on the HBO series “Legendary”, Ally began vogue dancing and quickly became a sensation across social media. She is now a member of both the House of Juicy Couture and House of Marc Jacobs. Today on the Dance Dad podcast, Ally shares insights into the ball culture, her personal journey of coming out, and how both her mainstream and kiki house communities have become like a second family to her.   Ally's biological family, including her mother Amy, who also joins the podcast, has supported her from the start. Amy discusses the pressures facing Ally as a prominent figure in the trans community, and the scrutiny she faces as a parent.    Ally addresses her experiences with bullies in various settings, from playgrounds to churches and even political arenas, and how she has found a supportive community. Host John Corella highlights the hypocrisy of parents who criticize Amy for 'forcing a lifestyle' on Ally, while they themselves push their children into unwanted activities.   Ally, confident in her identity from a young age, and perhaps even in past lives, is forging ahead fearlessly. Tune in to hear her discuss her love for Beyoncé, Monster High dolls, and her very own dance dad.   Episode Breakdown 00:00 Pride Month & Podcast Intro   01:04 Meet Allie Marc Jacobs   04:50 How Are You Feeling?   08:44 What Is a House in Ballroom Culture?   14:01 Allie's Coming Out Story   16:06 A Parent's Perspective   23:38 Handling Bullying & Finding Support   25:37 Voguing at Beyoncé's Concert   29:14 Where Boldness Comes From   31:54 The Power of Self-Expression   42:05 Advice for Kids Afraid to Come Out   49:24 Allie's Future Goals     Links Connect with Ally Marc Jacobs: www.instagram.com/allymarcjacobs   Connect with John Corella: Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dancedadwithjohncorella/ John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/john_corella/ Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheonlyDanceDadwithJohnCorella Website: johncorella.net Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In this episode of Homeopathy 247, host Mary Greensmith chats with homeopath Anna Bihari, who specializes in helping children with PANS and PANDAS. Anna is an active practitioner with Homeopathy 247 and also provides support in two Facebook communities—one focused on PANS/PANDAS and another on detoxing with homeopathy. What Are PANS and PANDAS? Anna explains that these are pediatric autoimmune conditions that affect neurological and psychiatric health. PANS: Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome PANDAS: Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections These conditions can cause a sudden onset of symptoms like obsessive-compulsive behaviors, anxiety, aggression, and tics. They are often triggered by infections or environmental stressors, and many families feel overwhelmed navigating conventional treatment routes. Why Parents Seek Homeopathy Anna shares that many parents turn to homeopathy after trying other options that haven't brought relief. They're often searching for a more holistic, gentle, and effective approach. Anna reassures listeners that homeopathy can be deeply supportive, not only for the child's symptoms but also for the emotional toll on the whole family. Homeopathy's Individualized Approach No two children are treated the same way in homeopathy. Anna emphasizes how treatment plans are tailored to each child's specific symptoms, personality, and medical history. Whether a child is dealing with aggression, OCD, sleep issues, or other challenges, remedies are selected to match the whole picture—not just the diagnosis. Detoxing and Layers of Healing Another key topic discussed is the idea of detoxing with homeopathy. Anna talks about how certain toxins or medications (like antibiotics or vaccines) may play a role in triggering or worsening symptoms in sensitive children. Homeopathy can gently support the body in detoxifying these substances and clearing blocks to healing. Healing is rarely a straight line, and Anna encourages parents to be patient and open-minded. Often, multiple layers need to be addressed over time, including immune stress, emotional trauma, and inherited patterns. Finding Support and Community Anna's work in Facebook groups offers daily support and encouragement to families on this journey. These spaces allow parents to ask questions, share experiences, and feel less alone. Anna notes how valuable it is for parents to connect with others who truly understand the challenges of PANS/PANDAS.

Renee is joined by activist, storyteller, and mom of two, Sarain Fox, for a vulnerable and uplifting conversation about the parts of motherhood we don't talk about enough—loneliness, identity shifts, and the magic of finding community. From postpartum during the pandemic to the unexpected grief of letting go of the mom you thought you'd be, Sarain shares how her reality as a new mom differed from the narrative she had in her head. They talk about how friendships change after kids, the importance of being that friend who reaches out, and why even a walk around the block with someone can be transformational. Sarain also opens up about her work with the Cybex Stroll Together initiative, the healing power of movement, and how something as simple as a stroller helped her reclaim a sense of self. Whether you're in the thick of new motherhood or reflecting back on those early years, this episode is a warm reminder that you're not alone—and it's okay to ask for more support, more connection, and more space to just be.

In this episode of The Purpose Show, I'm sitting down with Amanda Clark for a powerful and honest conversation all about boundaries—especially in personal relationships and marriage. We're diving into what it really looks like to move from people-pleasing to honoring your needs, and how doing this work can totally shift the dynamic in your home and relationships. Amanda shares her journey of healing her inner child, regulating her nervous system, and breaking free from old patterns to create stronger, healthier boundaries. We also explore the complexities of family dynamics, motherhood, and those challenging "witching hour" moments we all know too well. If you've ever struggled to communicate your needs or felt stuck balancing it all, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and empowered to take back your time, energy, and joy—starting today. My links here:https://alliecasazza.com/tpslinks  https://alliecasazza.com/collective Amanda went from a teen mom who lost herself in motherhood to a woman who reclaimed her identity, broke free from the emotional chains of childhood, and built a life she's excited to wake up to.  For years, she wore taking care of everyone else like a badge of honor, drowning in overwhelm and shoulding all over herself. She believed sacrificing yourself as a mom was just the way life was—until she discovered a better way. Breathwork found her during her dad's passing, and everything shifted. She realized mindset work alone wasn't enough—she had to heal her nervous system, set real boundaries, and release the emotional weight keeping her stuck. Now, as The Boundary Queen, she helps moms regulate their nervous systems through breathwork and set boundaries like a boss— so you can stop living for everyone else and find YOU again. https://www.instagram.com/its.amandaclark  https://www.amandaclark.biz/    Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Emotional Breakthroughs 03:10 The Importance of Boundaries 05:57 Navigating Marriage and Boundaries 09:06 The Role of Inner Child Work 11:47 Communicating Boundaries Effectively 15:07 The Impact of Setting Boundaries 17:59 Transforming Relationships Through Boundaries 20:36 Understanding the Witching Hour 22:12 The Importance of Communication in Relationships 24:57 Redefining Masculine and Feminine Roles 29:00 Addressing Unhelpful Partners 35:05 Finding Support and Setting Boundaries

Hair loss is a deeply personal and often emotional experience, especially when it happens unexpectedly. For many women, hair thinning begins during perimenopause or menopause, yet the topic remains widely overlooked. In this special Women's History Month episode of HairPod, we sit down with Angela Fields, founder of a curly hair product line, to discuss her personal journey with hair thinning, her eventual diagnosis of CCCA alopecia, and the solutions she discovered. Angela's experience sheds light on the challenges of hormonal hair loss and the steps women can take to reclaim both their hair and confidence. How Vitamin Deficiencies and Hormones Affect Hair Loss Angela first noticed her hair thinning in 2017 when her part began to widen, revealing more scalp than before. This early sign of hair loss led her to her doctor, where lab tests revealed she had a significant vitamin D deficiency—something she hadn't previously considered. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in hair follicle health, and a deficiency can contribute to both hair loss and fatigue. Supplementing with vitamin D helped restore some of her hair's fullness, but as she entered menopause, new challenges emerged. Her hair loss became more pronounced, leading her to seek the expertise of a dermatologist, who diagnosed her with CCCA alopecia, a condition that causes scarring of the scalp and makes regrowth more difficult. Effective Hair Regrowth Treatments and Lifestyle Changes Finding a treatment plan that worked required time, patience, and a comprehensive approach. Angela began by incorporating key supplements such as Nutrafol, folic acid, vitamin C, and iron to support hair regrowth. But supplementation alone wasn't enough—because of the scarring caused by CCCA alopecia, her dermatologist recommended a series of scalp injections to break down scar tissue and allow new hair to push through. This process took months, but the results were encouraging. Daily Habits for Hair Regrowth Beyond medical treatments, Angela also adjusted her daily habits. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clean scalp by shampooing regularly, as product buildup and excess oil can contribute to hair thinning. She also warns against wearing tight or glued-in hairstyles, which can put stress on the hair follicles and lead to long-term damage. Managing stress is another key factor, as high cortisol levels can accelerate hair loss. Through exercise, proper sleep, and self-care, Angela found ways to support her overall well-being while working toward healthier hair. Finding Support and Breaking the Stigma of Hair Loss Hair loss can feel isolating, but Angela stresses that no one has to go through it alone. She encourages women to seek support through online communities, Facebook groups, and even local meetups dedicated to hair loss. Speaking with a knowledgeable dermatologist who understands different hair types and traditional styling methods is another crucial step in finding the right treatment.

Episode Title: How to Recognize and Heal Silent Grief Episode Description: In this episode of Healing Starts with a Heart, grief specialist Sharon Brubaker dives into the often-overlooked world of silent losses. Grief isn't always about losing a loved one; it can stem from many other life experiences that bring deep feelings of sadness and emptiness. Sharon sheds light on the impact of silent losses, like moving away from a childhood friend, losing a job, or experiencing a broken relationship. These losses, though less recognized, can attach themselves to major grief events, amplifying pain over time. Sharon shares why it's essential to acknowledge and grieve these silent losses to find a path toward healing and resilience. Key Points Discussed: Silent Losses Explained Grief isn't always tied to death. Sharon explains how silent losses, such as moving away, career setbacks, or relationship changes, can have a lasting emotional impact. Why Silent Grief is Overlooked Society often doesn't recognize or support grief outside of death. Sharon discusses why these silent losses are rarely acknowledged and why we tend to brush them aside. The Impact of Unacknowledged Losses Silent losses can connect with new grief experiences, creating a heavier emotional burden. Sharon explains how unprocessed grief can resurface unexpectedly and affect current losses. Learning to Grieve Silent Losses Sharon shares ways to recognize and validate silent losses, emphasizing the importance of fully experiencing these emotions to heal. Finding Support and Moving Forward While grieving silent losses can feel isolating, finding support—even within oneself—can help. Sharon encourages listeners to talk openly about these losses and seek support when needed. Journal Questions: What recent loss have you experienced that isn't related to death? Which silent losses from your past still affect you today? How might acknowledging silent losses change your approach to grieving? Are there emotions tied to silent losses that you've kept private? What small step could you take to honor a silent loss? Conclusion: Reflect on these questions as you explore silent grief's impact on your life. Grieving these losses may be key to finding balance, peace, and true healing.
