In this episode, Dr. Fred Moss interviews Julia Aziz, LCSW-S, OIM, a holistic psychotherapist, interfaith minister, and author, known for guiding healthcare practitioners and overwhelmed parents away from burnout. Julia's approach involves daily grounding practices, community healing through her Release & Empower Women's Circle, and a focus on embracing imperfection. In this brief but insightful episode, she emphasizes the importance of becoming one's own leader, trusting inner instincts, and recognizing the healing power within community. Julia Aziz offers a refreshing perspective on holistic well-being, urging listeners to rewild and rediscover their inner wisdom.   Here are some key takeaways from the podcast interview: Julia helps healthcare practitioners and overwhelmed moms prevent burnout through reconnecting with inner resources.  She leads retreats utilizing writing, movement, singing, and sharing for self-healing and empowerment.  Her offerings involve shedding excess noise/information and coming back to basics - tuning into the "wisdom within."  ⁠Daily grounding practices like forest walks, meditation, creating transitions, and setting boundaries prevent overwhelm.  Healing happens in community, accountability and remembering our humanity and imperfection, not seeking perfection.  ⁠Rather than following gurus, Julia guides people to become their own leaders, trusting innate inner knowings.  ⁠She holds space for people to access their own "medicine" - what they offer others is precisely what they deeply need.   Links: Sign up for Julia's mailing list: https://us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=1ecd543de213adba0fdddce56&id=e5f7cf0210 Release & Empower Women's Circle: https://juliaaziz.com/release-and-empower-online/ Holistic Psychotherapy: https://juliaaziz.com/counseling/ Professional Consultation and Training: https://juliaaziz.com/consulttrain/ Lessons of Labor: One Woman's Self-Discovery Through Birth & Motherhood: https://www.amazon.com/Lessons-Labor-Self-Discovery-through-Motherhood/dp/1933455926/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422116400&sr=8-1&keywords=Lessons+of+Labor When You're Having A Hard Time: The Little Book That Listens: https://www.amazon.com/When-Youre-Having-Hard-Time/dp/B089M4236G/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Follow Julia on FB: https://www.facebook.com/juliasaziz/ Follow Julia on IG: https://www.instagram.com/juliasaziz/   Show Notes: Health and wellness with a guest from Austin, Texas. 0:08 Burnout and compassion fatigue in helping professions. 1:11 Self-care and interfaith ceremonies. 4:13 Simplifying life, trusting instincts, and connecting with nature. 11:37 Self-care practices for mental well-being. 16:40 Self-care and prioritizing mental health. 21:38  

In this episode, Dr. Fred recaps his recent interview with Julia Aziz on episode 89. Together, they explore the pitfalls of self-neglect in caregiving professions and the power of reconnecting with infinite spiritual supply. Julia's insights into daily grounding routines, simplicity, and shedding excess resonate deeply, emphasizing the importance of inner wisdom. Join Dr. Fred as he invites listeners to explore their own profound steadiness by getting quietly grounded.   Here are some key takeaways from this follow-up episode: Julia Aziz helps healers and caregivers avoid depletion by realizing that generously giving their gifts connects them to infinite spiritual supply. In caring professions, self-neglect while shouldering others' burdens is too often subtly normalized and promoted. Julia guides people back to their wholeness through community, accountability, self-expression, embodiment practices and remembering shared humanity. Daily grounding routines like morning forest walks and mini self-care rituals between obligations prevent overwhelm. ⁠Simplicity and shedding excess allows tuning into inner wisdom that has always resided within. No quick external fixes provide lasting peace. ⁠Standing still in nature, we realize we are transient while ancient trees and mountains endure - models of groundedness. ⁠By getting quietly grounded, we contact the bedrock of our being. Dr. Fred asks listeners what that profound steadiness feels like for them.

Julia Aziz, LCSW-S, sheds light on the challenges of managing the role of 'healer' when we ourselves are struggling, and explores the impact of being an actively wounded healer on therapy outcomes.

We discuss Julia's spiritual background and ministry. We then discuss Julia's approach to helping women who have experienced trauma navigate birth, and how childbirth has the potential to be a healing experience for some people with trauma. We talk about the importance of simplifying mental health and coming back to this moment by slowing down and living in the present. We also the discus the importance of recognizing how everyone is different, including with the use of medication. We talk about an intuitive approach to finding the best treatments for your problems. We talk about spirituality and rituals associated with birth. We discuss how to learn from your dreams during pregnancy. We then discuss how to help parents when a pregnancy ends in loss, as well as ways of dealing with grief.

So we do a writing practice, and we do somatic release, guided meditation, and then a brief sharing, where we're just witnessing each other rather than doing cross-talk. And so it's like a weekly practice for women who are often caregiving for other people — like moms — to make some space for themselves.”  50:27 https://birthcircle.com For Any Questions, Email Me at media@birthcircle.com

Julia Aziz, LCSW-S, CCH, Rev. joins the show to talk about the importance of empathy, intuition, mental health, and so much more when trying to heal oneself - a great conversation! cultivatewellnesspodcast.com @cultivatewellnesspodcast Always brought to you by Peoples Rx, Austin's Favorite Pharmacy!

Self-care has become quite popular over recent years with more women taking it seriously now than ever before. Women are abandoning their superwoman capes and heading to salons for hair maintenance, nail treatments, and massages. They’re making time for themselves and have started to understand that they aren’t any good to their families or anyone else if they aren’t taking care of themselves. In this episode, I have a conversation with Julia Aziz, an interfaith minister, licensed clinical social worker, and author who supports those who care for others - whether they are healthcare professionals, counselors, educators, or natural caregivers. You’ll hear Julia’s definition of self-care, which is quite different from the popular definition that you may associate it with right now. Julia talks about: How you can begin to acknowledge your needs and how you’ll feel as a result of this practice Why you may not feel well even when you’re practicing traditional/popular self-care rituals such as exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, spending time with friends, and treating yourself, etc. The harsh inner critic that “can see no right” and leads you down a path of self-blame Knowing when to create boundaries to avoid the unhealthy practice of beating yourself up Why self-forgiveness is so important for moms And more… I invite you to listen intently with an open mind and heart. I challenge you to choose at least one of the concepts that Julia shares and start your own self-care regimen.

Julia Aziz is a junior business major at the University of San Francisco (USF). She was born in the United States, then moved to Damascus, Syria at two years old. While Julia, her father, and her sister have joint U.S.-Syrian citizenship, her mother and brother are citizens of only Syria. On March 6, 2017, President Trump signed a newly revised executive order, which still prohibits the entry of Syrian refugees. Upon graduating from USF, Julia hopes to return to Syria if she can use the skills she has learned as an undergraduate to improve the country and create change.

Julia Aziz captured 20+ years of working with parents in an incredibly readable memoir called Lessons of Labor wherein she documented learnings parents can apply in their own lives. Julia shares insights on living in the present, accepting help from others and creating joy and self-love throughout parenting.

Heads up! There are some discussions about miscarriage in this episode, so please be forewarned if that's a trigger for you. Or, maybe NAPTIME is a worse trigger?! We wouldn't blame you if that's the case. Naps or the lack thereof can be a real son-of-a-somethin' and despite a cumulative four kids and nearly twelve years of parenting between us, Biz and Theresa don't necessarily have the answer to the question, "How do I get my kid to take a nap?" Luckily, we get a visit from Julia Aziz. Her book, Lessons of Labor: One Woman's Self-Discovery Through Birth and Motherhood, is a wonderful reminder that we don't have to have all the answers all the time.

Today I got to chat with Julia Aziz. Julia is the mother of three children and author of Lessons of Labor: One Woman's Self-Discovery Through Birth and Motherhood. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a hospice spiritual counselor, Julia leads private classes and silent retreats exploring the bigger questions of self and purpose. Before having children, Julia worked as a counselor for youth, adults, couples, and families. She has facilitated a personal growth group for teens, silent retreats for midwives and doulas, and a mindfulness group for new mothers.  I so enjoyed chatting with her in depth about her birth and postpartum stories! Just a few of the things we chat about: -    How birth is a metaphor for what we need to learn as parents-    Her vivid descriptions of her kids' birth stories-    How a 30 day challenge ted talk inspired her to start her book-    How she learned to let go of control when it comes to parenting, and how labor taught her that. -    Looking for the spaces in between the pain – in labor and in life-    The best advice is to not take any advice too seriously-    Love is expansive, not exclusive Here is some praise from the one and only Penny Simkin about Julia's Book: “From her own unique and varied childbearing experiences, Julia Aziz learned much beyond what labor and birth can be like; she guides us through her musings on the lessons gained from her labors–about life as a woman, life partner, mother, and human being. This engaging book, told in her personable style and warm voice, relates how she was transformed, and her pithy wisdom helps us see how we also may be transformed by life's unpredictable adventures.”–Penny Simkin, author of The Birth Partner, co-founder of DONA International Be sure to check it out here AND enter the Rafflecopter Giveaway to be entered to win a copy of her book!   *** As always, please consider subscribing and leaving a review on iTunes here. Your reviews really help the show out because they allow it to be more visible so that we can reach more moms.  Do you shop on Amazon?  Use this link and do your shopping as you always would and the show will get a teeny tiny kickback.  The podcast is also sponsored by Audible.com.  To get your FREE audiobook and 30-day trial, please go tohttp://www.audibletrial.com/postpartum     You can also support the show by becoming a patron on Patreon.  No donation is too small, for as little as $1 per episode, you can make a huge difference for the show.  Click here to learn more.  Thank you SO much for your support!
