Welcome to the first installment of an extension of the Yoga to Cope podcast. This series is called "Tough Women, Tough Stories" and will spotlight strong, vibrant, tough women in and around my life who have been through some truly challenging, life-changing, tough things in life thus far. I'm excited for you to meet these tough women, and hear their tough stories. Today, we meet my dear friend Nicole Bissey, a Kansas City-based professional photographer who recently lost her mom unexpectedly. She also pursued a long-time-coming divorce, and experienced a breakup and COVID all in the last year's time. She shares her experience with and opinion of yoga and how it's played into her life, why, how, and when she finally pursued a divorce she had been pondering, the story of realizing her mom had died, and the grief journey she's been on ever since.

Oh the places your mind will try to take you. Founder of Yoga to Cope, Kala MacDonald, here. I am doing fine, I am doing great actually - BUT for about 2 days per month I dive deeply into two "Dark Days" where I question everything; my work, my money situation, my relationships, my value, my worth, my body, my look. My mind starts asking me who I think I am, and it tells me I'm not good enough, not far enough along professionally to keep going, and to just give up and do something else, something easier, something less risky. "Be smaller" "Take up less space" "Stop trying so hard" "You're not good enough" "You're not pretty like her" These are some of the things my "Dark Days" brain tries to tell me. I've figured out how to be an observer of these days as opposed to swim around in them. Today I found myself in one of those days, those moods, and felt compelled to share what they feel like and look like and sound like for me, because maybe I'm not the only one. I feel lucky to be able to step back and be an observer in these moments, but some of you may not be there yet, or you may not even realize you're in this cyclical downswing that isn't really YOU. Hopefully you hear something in this that helps you tune in to the dark moments you may go through from time to time, to realize you aren't alone when you feel most alone or at your most vulnerable and low, and to take steps toward help if you find yourself in need. https://www.yogatocope.org/resources If you are feeling suicidal, please use these resources to get help: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org 24/7 Confidential National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-8255 YOGA TO COPE IS A 501(c)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AIMING TO PROVIDE COMPLETELY FREE, ONLINE, YOGA-BASED RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE COPING WITH TRAUMA, PRE-TRAUMA, GRIEF, DEPRESSION, AND THE LIKE.

This episode does discuss the topics of sexual assault, rape, and violence/being attacked. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and we are taking this opportunity to share an episode where Hannah Shaw and Yoga to Cope respond to an Anonymous e-mail our organization recently received asking for advice about coping with and handling a past sexual assault/rape that took place. Hannah kindly comes on to share her insights and advice as a Social Worker who has been working in the field of Rape, Domestic Violence, and Sexual Assault for years, and we speak to some other topics during the second half of the episode, including what to do if you are sexual assaulted, "red flags" to lookout for that could help you identify if a child is being assaulted in their home, and the topic of consent.

You're in for a real, magical treat with this episode featuring NYC-based Alchemical Acupuncturist Michael Wiltse. Michael is kind enough to speak with us today about his holistic approach to acupuncture, and how effective this work can be for acknowledging, loosening, and healing through traumas both big and small. He speaks passionately to Chinese Medicine, the "little red birds" we all have in our hearts, and how we all begin with a spoonful of stardust and destiny within. We talk alchemy, we talk meditation and yoga, and Michael sends us off in the most beautiful way with a sung prayer. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed recording!

A recent article sparked my interest in the question: Do you have an inner monologue? While I do, for the first time ever I realized that there are people who don't have dialogue with themselves in their heads, and instead have to talk aloud for those mirror pep talks. This got me thinking, and podcasting, all about perception vs. reality, how we can be experiencing the same thing, but very differently, and how this can all boil down to finding gentle understating with people who have different perceptions and opinions than our own. I hope you'll enjoy this mini episode, and always you can find us online using the links below!
