Welcome! This week on A Mental Health Break, prepare for a profoundly transformative conversation on healing from within. We are incredibly honored to welcome Deborah Grassman, a distinguished author, contributing writer to multiple textbooks, and the compassionate voice behind the powerful concept of "Soul Injury." While her impressive resume includes three books, 25 published articles, four documentary films, and a TED Talk, none of these achievements compare to the profound wisdom she gained from caring for 10,000 dying veterans as a VA hospice Nurse Practitioner for three decades. As Deborah wisely says, "If anyone wants to learn how to achieve inner peace, ask a veteran who has successfully struggled to find it for the rest of their lives after they returned from war."Deborah's invaluable experiences culminated in her groundbreaking concept of "Soul Injury"—a deep wound that separates an individual from their own sense of self, often causing unseen distress. She believes that these injuries arise from unmourned loss and unforgiven guilt/shame, leading to a diminished sense of self-worth. In this essential episode, Deborah will illuminate the phenomena of Soul Injury, exploring its causes and offering pathways to recovery. She'll share the profound lessons learned from her time with dying veterans, revealing how their journeys to inner peace can guide us all.Join us as Deborah discusses realizing your life truly matters, making peace with your present and future, and effective ways to work through trauma. We'll delve into overcoming childhood pain, understanding how "hurt people hurt people," and crucially, how to courageously connect with your own hurt to begin the healing process. With her powerful tagline, "Don't waste your suffering...use it to help heal our hurting world," Deborah Grassman offers not just insights, but practical pathways to recover your lost self-worth and foster a profound relationship with yourself. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to transform their pain into purpose and find lasting inner peace.Support the showHave a question for the host or guest? Want their freebee?

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! This week on the Unveiling the Beast podcast, I sat down with Katie Sorensen, a nurse practitioner and owner of Weight Loss NP, to dig into one of the most misunderstood topics on the internet right now: GLP-1 medications. You know, the ones people love to hate, like Ozempic and ZepBound. As someone who's been waist-deep in the research for months (because yes, that's what us nerdy, weight-neutral coaches do), I wanted to bring nuance and facts into a conversation that's gotten way too loud and way too shallow. Katie broke down what these meds actually are, how they work with your body (not against it), and why calling them “the easy way out” is just lazy and harmful. Spoiler: they've been around for decades, are made of naturally occurring peptides, and they're doing a hell of a lot more than shrinking waistlines.We also talked about the emotional weight behind physical weight, the ridiculous judgment people face for using science to support their health, and how these meds are turning down the obsessive food noise that steals so much brain space. Katie and I are both on the same page: it's not about glorifying weight loss. It's about freeing people to focus on what actually matters in life. We covered everything from muscle preservation to mental health to why strength training is the real anti-aging hack. And if you've ever looked at someone using a weekly injection and thought, “Must be nice,” this episode will shift your perspective. As always, we ended with some wisdom, and Katie's was simple and powerful: get outside, soak in the sunshine, and walk. Because sometimes, the best medicine is free and found in the fresh air.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Katie Sorensen, NP-C, is a passionate Nurse Practitioner dedicated to transforming lives through her innovative and holistically focused practice, Weight Loss NP, LLC.

Mish is also the author of a book about sex beyond erections, called Beyond Erections - reclaiming sexual pleasure and intimacy with erectile differences. Diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2019, Mish shares his raw and insightful journey of treatment, recovery, and rebuilding life as a man post-cancer. From Johannesburg to Canada, his story spans continents and emotions — and ultimately, his experience led him to create a space for other men navigating the often-silent challenges of prostate cancer recovery.  Mish now supports men and their partners through personalised coaching, offering emotional guidance, tools for self-reinvention, and a path toward rediscovering identity and intimacy. He also speaks about the recent release of his book — including why the original title sparked controversy and was later renamed.    In This Episode, We Cover:  Mish's prostate cancer diagnosis and the decisions he faced  The physical and psychological recovery process after treatment  How prostate cancer affects male identity, sexuality, and relationships  The importance of support networks for both men and their partners  His work as a men's health coach and the creation of The Recovering Man  The evolving conversation around masculinity, vulnerability, and healing  Insights from his newly released book on finding sexual pleasure without relying on hard erections.   Key Takeaways:  Life after prostate cancer is about more than just surviving — it's about reclaiming who you are. Mish encourages men to explore healing not only of the body but also of self-image, connection, and purpose.    Resources & Links:  Book a confidential consult, in clinic or on telehealth, with our sexual health nurse practitioners at Restorative Health Clinic  For more information check out our websites www.rshealth.com.au , www.makehardeasy.com.au and www.melissahadleybarrett.com.au   Visit The Recovering Man: https://www.recoveringman.net/  – Coaching, articles, and resources for men navigating life after prostate cancer.   Book by Mish Middelmann: Beyond Erections available as paperback or eBook.

Nurse practitioner Surani Hayre-Kwan discusses her article "Are you protecting your career? 5 essential questions about your NP liability insurance." Surani discusses the critical need for nurse practitioners to secure their own professional liability insurance, highlighting how relying solely on employer-provided coverage can leave significant gaps. She provides insights into common pitfalls, such as employer policies often excluding licensing board complaints or having shared liability limits. Surani explains the crucial differences between occurrence and claims-made coverage and the importance of understanding "tail" and "nose" coverage to ensure continuous protection when switching jobs or carriers. She also offers actionable advice on how robust documentation, including adherence to SOAP note standards and careful patient engagement, can serve as a powerful defense against legal challenges. Surani emphasizes that comprehensive malpractice coverage is vital for protecting an NP's license, career, and financial stability. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.
