Content Warning: Talk of death by suicide, suicidal ideation, and sexual abuseDr. T and Truth Fairy welcome former NHL hockey player Corey Hirsch to the podcast to talk about medicine and mental health. Corey was drafted by the New York Rangers and played many seasons for the Vancouver Canucks but after retiring from playing hockey and becoming a coach and Sportsnet analyst, he turned his life and his focus to mental health. Corey is a firm believer in psychedelic medicine and wants to remove the stigma of its use in sports communities.Corey shares his mental health journey and his battle with OCD with Dr. T and Truth Fairy and describes how he ventured into psychedelics two years ago after not finding the right therapeutic fit in other modalities. He found his way “back to his life”, as he puts it, and ascribes a great sense of hope and relief to psychedelics. The different perspective he gained and his positive experience led him to his fight against stigma today. Corey also talks openly about how death by suicide has impacted him personally and the peace medicine gave him around that trauma.Truth Fairy describes how she met Corey and Corey shares the story behind that meeting, in which he experienced an intense journey into self-love after some medicine. One of the things Corey stresses is how working with medicine has opened him up and given him compassion and more love in life. Dr. T, Truth Fairy, and Corey discuss the intricacies of OCD and where it stems from, examine the emotional abuse inherent in a hockey player's career, and examine Corey's newfound purpose in life. This episode shines a light on how useful psychedelic medicine can be as applied to mental health and how the stigma only hurts people's opportunities to experience this type of healing for themselves.“It gives me a different perspective. You know, it's amazing when you sit with psychedelics and you think, oh, this person screwed me over or this happened or that happened, and it shows you a different angle of it. And it's like, wow, I did not even think of that perspective, right? And it's taught me to venture into things with kindness and love.” - Corey HirschAbout Corey Hirsch:By the time he was 21 years old Corey Hirsch had drunk from the Stanley Cup and won a silver medal at the Winter Olympics, but these accomplishments no longer mattered to him. Born in Medicine Hat and raised in Calgary, he was drafted by the New York Rangers and played for many seasons with the Vancouver Canucks. After retiring from play, Hirsch became an NHL coach for elite goaltenders and prospects, and later an analyst with Sportsnet. Dedicated to ending the stigma of mental health, he is also a co-host of The Players' Tribune podcast, Blindsided. In October 2022 Corey released his first book—The Save of My Life—a compelling look behind the mask of a professional hockey player that offers both understanding and hope to anyone living with mental illness.Website: CoreyHirsch.comBook: “The Save of My Life” by Corey HirschPodcast: Blindsided__Contact Punk Therapy:Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapyWebsite: PunkTherapy.comEmail: info@punktherapy.com

John interviews Cherri Forsyth, who helps CEO's, business owners and businesses to uplift their company's Emotional Intelligence for stronger people at home and work, increasing their profit. Cherri specialises in Personal Coaching as well as corporate, as well as Grief Counselling, helping her clients to develop emotional resilience and mentoring and supporting other life coaches. Cherri and John discuss her move into life coaching, her experience of grief and move into counselling, the similarities in the different spheres of coaching and her marriage and its near dissolution and final resurrection. KEY TAKEAWAYS Starting out as a Sports Coach, Cherri now is an Emotional Intelligence and Resilience Coach, Grief Counsellor and Mental Trainer for Elite Athletes. Emotional Resilience coaching is helping people deal with hardship and crisis and come through it in a very positive way.   The skills and tools taught as a one on one coach are also the same as those taught in businesses and to elite athletes. Emotional Intelligence means having the skills and resilience to react to others in a positive way as opposed to more negative responses.  Cherri's Grief Counselling came from the experience of losing her daughter and her husband's extreme reaction to grief which ruined their marriage. However, through psychology and counselling the marriage has continued successfully. BEST MOMENTS‘I am very passionate about what I do and I think the variety is really good because it keeps everything fresh all the time.' - Cherri ‘If we are criticised and we react by being really defensive that's not going to achieve much. But if we can realise, though criticism might not be delivered in a great manner and might make us want to feel really defensive, I've got a choice how I can deal with this.' - Cherri‘It really stops you from going into one of those unwanted emotions that don't really help any situation.' – John‘I had to put my own grief of losing our daughter completely to the side and concentrate on the relationship because our elder daughter was still at home and I didn't want her to be in the situation of having lost her sister and then her parents getting a divorce.' – Cherri ‘It's really difficult for some people to look at themselves and say ‘I actually did do this'. The whole fragility around that frame is really difficult for people to step into.' – John ‘With the affair and me kicking him out of home and him losing his job, all of those things together still didn't kick him out of the denial.' – Cherri GUEST RESOURCESLinks: www.cherriforsythcoaching.comemail: cherriforsyth@gmail.comVALUABLE RESOURCESLink to my workshop - https://www.johnkennycoaching.com/5- things-you-need-to-create-a-healthy-loving-relationship/To get in touch - email – john@johnkennycoaching.com or book a complimentary call – https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30minIf people want to order a copy of the book then they can just pay postage of £4.95 (RRP £8.99) - www.johnkennycoaching.com/podcast-book-offerWant to be able to address the relationship issues in your life? - Why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30minThe Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy        ABOUT THE HOSTI am John Kenny, Award Winning Relationship Coach.Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships.

Have you ever had a conversation with God? A real one, when God is actually communicating with you too? Our guest today John Roedel is an improv comedic, who has been called “The Unafraid Storyteller”, has "stumbled" into writing a few years ago as his life began to fall apart all around him.  During his dark night of the soul, John began to have fake conversations with "God" on Facebook to poke fun at his spiritual and personal crisis.  What began as a flippant way of making light of his doubts in the Divine turned into something he wasn't at all prepared for: God wrote back. Since creating the popular "Hey God. Hey John." blog on Facebook three years ago, John has tackled such topics as his journey to mental health wellness, his lack of faith, the joy and pain of raising a child with autism, and grief, all in the form of a simple conversation with "God."Eventually, these conversations transformed straight into poetry that has touched hundreds of thousands of people all around the world. John's newest book “Remedy” has been on the Amazon bestseller list for poetry since its release this past November.  Moments to Listen For:“Hey God.

“My focus was to study the social aspect of companion animals and how they change our social relationships with people.” – Lynette Hart Today we will hear Dr Lynette Hart as she delves into the world of Human-animal interactions, grief counselling and animal behaviour research, which she was happy to be a part of at a time when women with PhDs did not find suitors! As she tells how Leo Bustad pioneered in talking about the human-animal bond and vulnerable people, she asserts that ‘interaction' best describes the positive and negative aspects. She shares her part alongside others in popularising grief counselling for the loss of animals as a valid aspect of the human-animal bond. She tells how addressing grief is important for pet parents, veterinarians, animal laboratory workers and zookeepers. Listen as Lynette talks about a unique volunteer-based animal behaviour research on flehmen behaviour in ungulates, her work on elephant infrasound communication in collaboration with a geophysicist, collaborations with students to study elephant yawning, elephant-people interactions, elephant-caregiver bonds, effects of household noise on companion animals (inspired by her dog Ginny!). Excited and intoxicated by this science, Lynette feels the greatest resource of this field is the burning interest and energy that people have in it rather than monetary funds. Look out for some interesting publications coming our way from this amazing mind!

Grief can effect us in so many different ways and sometimes, the wide range of different emotions can have a big impact on our mental health.David has struggled with depression anxiety and suicidal ideation for most of his life and his battles with mental illness began at six years old.He was relentlessly bullied throughout primary and secondary school and suffered a double bereavement when he was 25 years old, losing both his parents within a year of each other.His constant battles with depression and anxiety fuelled his quest to find daily coping mechanisms and strategies to combat his mental illness.He subsequently became a private counsellor specialising in bereavement, depression and anxiety and he currently counsels clients over zoom and face-to-face.David is passionate about sharing physical and cognitive techniques to deal with mental illness and launched an online video course called Depression A New Hope.

How do you deal with one day you wake up and you find out your child has left you?  Going out in your backyard to have an evening with your husband and there lies your child.  And forward, they announce what no parent wants to hear.Karen went back to work, immersed herself in it, and she says, drank too much,  then realized it was not the right way.Karen states " Dan is with me.  I actually spend more time with Dan than I do with his two brothers and his sister.   He's guided me the whole way, he's guided me to write my books. Everything that I wasn't doing before, where I was playing small, he's really got me to 'come on Mom, you can do it" and he's constantly around me".Karen says although what she does is Grief Counselling, it's more and different.  There are 40 different types of grief.  Death, divorce, job loss, alienation, COVID separation.  We may not always define some of these as "grief" but they are.  And how do we bounce forward?She speaks to gifting losses.This is a very profound episode and amazing information that Karen shares.Karen also speaks to her child that she adopted out at the age of 16 during the "lockdown".   What an amazing story from start to end.So many more interesting conversations about Freedom of Speech and such.  And the connection with those who have "left" yet are still here with us.Thank you, Karen.  For sharing all your stories.You can reach out to Karen by going to www.karenchaston.comMore about Karen Chaston:Karen ran on the corporate treadmill until the day the world came tumbling down on her head.The constant effort of juggling work, family, the big house and cars, and the stress created by all that was taking its toll on her even before tragedy struck when her son Dan (27), suddenly and very unexpectedly died at her back door in July 2011.Straight after Dan's funeral, Karen went straight back to her Chief Financial Officer's role at a Publicly Listed Company, working more, drinking more, and eating more. Using all her coping mechanisms to just carry on and succeed at that level.Karen now knows that Dan's passing was meant to be her wake-up call. So the Universe decided to show her that death comes in many ways ~ death of a loved one, a marriage, a job, a partnership, a pet, your health, and/or your wealth.Her second death came 15 months later in the form of redundancy when her company merged with another. This was the greatest GIFT.That is when she started on the Journey to Becoming Her Own Best Friend. From there they created the Gift of Loss programs which demonstrate the correlations between loss and people and profits for both individuals and companies.Her motto: “Life is too short to be suffering from any kind of loss, unwrap the gift this has brought and then design a life that you live and love.”Free Book with any $20+ Podcast Support Make Up Not Required - How to Brand the TRUE You by LaurieAnn & Contribution by Roy MillerBE A GUEST/FIND A GUEST Start for Free!

Louis Weinstock is a remarkable man - a deeply committed therapist who does his best to make his skills available to as many children and young people as need them - and so many do.  He focuses on grief and loss, initially around death and diagnoses of fatal illness, but increasingly the existential grief of our dying ecosystem and the despair, rage and frustration at a world that is not acting as it could or should.  In this profoundly moving podcast, we talk in depth about how all of us can exist with our grief and despair, how we can hold them tenderly, and how, from these places of resilience and strength, we can hold the conversations that need to happen in our widening circles. About Louis: Louis works with children, and the child inside us all, the one that wants to be loved, the one that wants to cry, the one that knows what it wants, the one that really does dance like no-one's watching, the one that spends timeless hours looking at bugs under a piece of bark, the one that keeps getting back up no matter how many times they fall down.He helps people find a light in the darkness, especially in grief, in the shadow, in the things that are unseen, unheard, unspoken. Her sees death as our greatest teacher, and avoidance of it our biggest mistake. He made an audio course all about death and life here: it will help you become more fully alive in your everyday existence. He runs Magic Power of Grief circles at festivals, and in other spaces and places.He believes the body is deeply intelligent, and our ‘symptoms' are just fragments of our soul seeking wholeness. Rumi once said “What is the body? That shadow of a shadow of your love, that somehow contains the entire universe”.He loves using design, collaboration and creativity to solve big, meaningful problems. One way he does this is by helping to run a charity – Apart of Me – that helps kids transform their grief into compassion. This project also has two side projects which are focused on helping younger children grow into emotionally empowered leaders: Earthlings and Bounce Works.Making a home for experience in words is his favourite spiritual craft. You can check out some of his writing here. He's currently writing a book about How The World Is Making Our Children Mad And What To Do About It - available next year and we'll invite Louis back on the podcast to talk about it when it comes out. Louis Weinstock: https://louisweinstock.com/A Part of Me https://www.apartofme.app/Wider Horizons Summer Festival: https://widerhorizons.events/

Well the playoff final didn't go to plan, but sometimes it's best to just talk it out right? So this final episode of the season is exactly that. We take you back to Ashton Gate (sorry) with our audio story of the day, Roger & Brian have a good old moan, and we just have a chat and try and process what happened.

Below is a brief synopsis of my journey into natural medicine. Have a listen to the podcast chat between myself and Michelle Marsh where I share some of my personal stories and anecdotes. This is my journey and how I went from practicing Western Medicine into Natural Therapies despite the obstacles life threw at me which included constant moving, children, cancer, stroke and divorce. I knew from the age of 9 years old that I was going to be helping people and as a child I would go to the library and get books out that taught about the human body purely because it was interesting to me.  In high school I moved from Chile to Brazil and when they assessed me they put me a grade up. This proved to be one of the first ‘challenges' that life was to set for me as I had to learn both a new language as well as performing at a higher level.  After school, I almost didn't go into medicine. The caring part of my personality wanted to be a nurse, however my father had different ideas and was horrified at the thought of my abilities not being put into medicine.  I of course enjoyed all of the subjects in medicine but I took a keen interest in Microbiology. During my studies I had experience working in emergency and theatre and had a range of experiences from being  punched in the face by drunk patients through to caring for people who are in the end stage of life.  My Hindu late husband exposed me to Homeopathy and a holistic approach. With my late husband I lived in India, Germany and many other countries. In India I was exposed to the ‘freshness' of food in its natural state. I learned to cook from scratch and I noticed how unprocessed foods were accepted by the body more readily.  When we moved to Australia, in order to continue practicing medicine I would need to do further study. At this stage we had children however and I was already wanting to move into natural therapies so I enrolled to do Naturopathy majoring in Nutrition and Homeopathy.  It's safe to say I have functioned at a high level for a long period of time but it wasn't always smooth sailing. Living in India with my late husband's family wasn't easy. There was a big difference in culture and while my Western clothes were conservative they were still Western. I had to learn to grind spice and mill flour to make bread daily and I had chores which consisted of things like getting water from the street pump.  My late husband also made life difficult for me. He was not happy with my desire to study naturopathy and so said that if I choose to do it I must make sure I keep doing all the household responsibilities. I.e. cooking him 3 meals from scratch per day, staying home with the children and keeping the house impeccable. I also had to find a way to pay for my studies as he would not support them.  A year into my studies I developed cervical cancer, which became another bump in the road. Thankfully, I knew how to treat myself naturally. Soon after I had healed, I was pregnant with my fourth baby. I didn't return to study after my baby as my husband encouraged me to study nursing because it would produce a faster income (because of my medical training) than studying naturopathy.  It wasn't long before things got worse in my marriage and there was abuse on many levels. When divorcing I represented myself in court, with the help of a very good friend and gained full custody of the children. I found myself in a position again where I could not continue my studies and so I left nursing and applied myself fully to my jobs as a nursing assistant, interpreter and mother to my beautiful children.  At this stage I was working the night shift and caring for my 2, 5, 7 and 9 year old children during the day. Sometimes I wouldn't sleep for two days in a row.  In hindsight it wasn't surprising that one day I woke up paralysed down one side of my body. I was in hospital for 10 days after the stroke. When I went home I began to heal myself once again with natural medicine. While still recovering from my stroke, my old teacher from Homeopathy called and told me I needed to return to my studies. My teacher was adamant and so I returned to finish my diploma despite working two jobs, being a single mother and not being well. All of these difficulties enabled me to gain courage so I could become the resilient person I am today. Along the way I also had many people and moments which gave me the motivation to be the joyful, positive person I am. I have channeled all of these learnings into continuing my education and since graduating from Naturopathy I have studied something new every year, including Mineral Therapy (which became a cornerstone of my practice) Bowen Therapy, Bio regulatory medicine, Blood Analysis, Biological Medicine for Cancer, Essential Oils, Raindrop Technique, Relationship and Post-abortion Grief Counselling, Alfa Thermography, Genetics, Sound Healing, Mentoring and Mindset, Dermatology, Qi Gong and more. https://www.aurorahealingcodes.com/

In this special episode honoring Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, Michelle continues her  conversation with Gary Vogel, LMHC perinatal grief expert and founder of HEAL, a Central Florida support group for bereaved parents. Gary shares the beautiful story of The Angel of Hope and how we here in Central Florida acquired our own statue. Together they discuss the vital role of the validation of our grief experience, feelings, and emotions plays; the impacts of the word “should” and the shame it can create; how grief is transformational; and how our US culture no longer has outward signs of bereavement and the value that can bring.   "I think as a culture, we've gotten much, much better at recognizing that this is something that does take place. The reality is that every year in the United States approximately one million families will experience a pregnancy loss."—Gary VogelAbout Gary Vogel, LMHC:Gary is Licensed Mental Health Counselor and has been in private practice since 1980 in the Central Florida area.

In this special episode honoring Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, Michelle has a two part conversion with Gary Vogel, LMHC perinatal grief expert and founder of HEAL, a Central Florida support group for bereaved parents. Together they discuss how the loss of a child disrupts our perception of the natural order of things, what grief is and isn't, and the 3 tasks of grieving. Gary shares that the trauma associated with the sudden loss of a child qualifies many bereaved parents for the diagnosis of  Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and a part of their journey of dealing with their loss is working through that PTSD component. Because of the enormous impact perinatal loss has on a relationship, the divorce rate after the loss of a child is twice the national average. Gary explains that everyone's journey through grief is unique to them, and couples can and do grieve differently. Understanding these differences helps prevent miscommunication and misunderstandings that can happen when one partner imposes their grieving style on the other partner. The experience of losing a child has the capacity to either tear the relationship apart or make it stronger."And I think one of the biggest components of that [what grief is and what grief isn't] is that most people have the thought that grieving is about death, and it is not. That is actually a fallacy. That is actually a myth. Grieving is not about death, it is about loss. ...The intensity of our grief is directly proportional to the value to us of who we lost."—Gary VogelAbout Gary Vogel, LMHC:Gary is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and has been in private practice since 1980 in the Central Florida area.

“Grief is a Vessel, it carries you through your transition keeping you safe.”Grief is something for a long time we have been told how to do it, having to move through the five stages of grief and when that doesn't happen you can be left feeling like there is something wrong with you, that you are doing it wrong.In this episode I dispel that myth and talk to you about the healing journey as never being a straight line, no matter what you are healing from it is never linear, it can be up and down, backwards even upside down sometimes.I also share with you a beautiful meditation to build your vessel.If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, mention it in a post on your Instagram Stories and tag me, @nicoleivensHaven't left a review yet?
