Today we're exploring how to bring cycle awareness to psychotherapy and mental healthcare. Our guest is MaryClaire Decker (known as MC) who is a Registered Psychologist. MC created Mindful Cycles after seeing a gap in mental health care, and after her own struggles with chronic menstrual migraines reinforced the need for an approach that works with our cycles, not against them. At Mindful Cycles, she combines evidence-based therapy with an understanding of cyclical health to help women and people with menstrual cycles navigate their mental well-being with greater self-awareness and resilience.We talk about how menstrual health symptoms change across the cycle, the neurological and hormonal shifts that cause mental health symptoms to worsen in the second half of the cycle, how to adapt therapeutic approaches based on the phases of the menstrual cycle, and the incredible impact of cycle-informed trauma therapy.We explore:Three reasons why mental health care hasn't been cycle-informed so far; menstrual stigma, the patriarchal, colonial historical context of psychotherapy and the huge gap in research when it comes to women and people with menstrual cycles.Why we risk pathologising people's experiences, or even misdiagnosing them when we don't take the fluctuations of the menstrual cycle into account, for example; 25% of people who eventually get diagnosed with PMDD are misdiagnosed with bi-polar disorder first. The beneficial impact of cycle-informed therapy for anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, addictions and other mental health challenges. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Saskatchewan's Farm Stress Line is now being managed by the SaskAgMatters Mental Health Network, offering producers and farm workers 24/7 access to confidential support from counsellors trained in agriculture.

Today, Lara sits down with Sarah Melville, a Registered Psychologist and Clinical Director at Onyx Assessments in Sherwood Park, Alberta, to unpack a topic that many families hear about—but don't always fully understand: psychoeducational (“psych-ed”) assessments. Sarah holds a Master of Education in School and Applied Child Psychology from the University of Calgary and specializes in comprehensive assessments for children, youth, and adults, supporting individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, learning disorders, intellectual disabilities, and mental health concerns like anxiety and depression. In today's episode, Sarah walks us through what a psych-ed assessment actually is, what the process looks like from start to finish, and what it can feel like for kids to go through it. We talk about how psychologists make sense of many different pieces of information—without reducing a child to a label—and how a strong assessment is meant to lead to real support: clearer next steps, better accommodations, and a plan that helps a child feel understood, capable, and confident. Sarah also helps parents navigate the emotional side of it all: the fear of labels, the worry it's “too late,” and the uncertainty of whether an assessment is the right move. If you've been considering an assessment for your child (or even yourself), felt nervous about what it involves, or wondered what happens after the report arrives, this conversation will bring clarity, reassurance, and practical direction.In today's episode, we cover:What a psychoeducational assessment is (and what it isn't)What the assessment process typically looks like, step by stepHow to understand results without letting a diagnosis become a “definition”What it's like for kids during testing—and how to support them through itWhat happens after the report: recommendations, school supports, and follow-throughWhether it's ever “too late” to pursue answers and supportMeet our guest:Sarah Melville is a Registered Psychologist, Clinical Director at Onyx Assessments, and a specialist in psychological testing and assessments for children, youth, and adults. She brings a collaborative, strength-based lens to helping families understand learning, attention, development, and mental health—so the outcome is not just information, but a path forward.

Hello everyone!  I'm completely thrilled to bring you this month's episode of The Becoming Podcast with Dr. Hillary McBride, my colleague and co-author of a chapter about the development of spirituality in matrescence in the recent book I've edited, Mother Becoming:  Reflections and Scholarship on Matrescence. Let me tell you a little bit about Hillary: Dr. Hillary McBride is a Registered Psychologist, host of the award winning CBC podcast Other People's Problems, and author of 5 books, including the Bestseller The Wisdom of Your Body and her most recent book released last year: Holy Hurt: Understanding spiritual trauma and the process of healing. She has been recognized by the American Psychological Association and Canadian Psychologist Association for her research and clinical work, and was awarded the prestigious International Young Investigators Award for her research contributions on women's sexuality. When she is not with patients or students, researching embodiment, or writing her next book, she loves to be near the ocean, or dancing with her daughter. Here's some of what Hillary and I dive into in our conversation together: The way that women's rites of passage, particularly matrescence and menopause, have been pathologized, overmedicalized and seen through a lens of deficiency...and how they are also, often, times of great potential and possibility in women's lives. How women's processes of growing up are often framed as a loss within misogynistic, patriarchal culture. Hillary's research on what happens during these developmental transitions when things go well...including that many women feel more connected to themselves and more embodied as they transform, but also afraid to talk about it because our culture so often supports and prefers a narrative of struggle during these times. We geek out on how you know a rite of passage is over, and some of the most important supports that can help us to integrate and metabolize transformative times in our lives. The spiritual growth that often occurs for women during the rites of passage they experience in their lives, including the chapter Hillary co-authored with our mutual colleague Dr. Larissa Rossen for the Mother Becomingbook on mothering as a spiritual technology. And so much more!  I loved this conversation with Hillary – I found it both tremendously affirming and deeply galvanizing as we look toward the power and potential that exists when women's rites of passage are well supported.  I hope you enjoy it too!   Listen to this episode on iTunes   Show Notes Hillary's website Hillary's instagram Hillary's CBC Podcast, "Other People's Problems" Hillary's books Mother Becoming:  Reflections and Scholarship on Matrescence   Also, while you're at it, if you enjoy the Becoming Podcast, I would be so grateful if you would rate, review and even subscribe to it wherever you get your podcasts.  That goes a long way to helping more and more people find and benefit from hearing these interviews.  Thank you so much!

After 10 years of working as a Registered Psychologist and dabbling initially in private practice, Dr. Anusha Kassan and her cofounder, Alyssa Hasham, purchased and freshened up an already existing Canadian private practice. With creativity, passion, and drive, they have developed the space into a community that they share with other clinicians to thrive in.  In this podcast episode, Anusha and I discuss her journey into therapy, private practice, and the experiences she's had in recent years both as a psychologist and a practice owner.  MEET ANUSHA Anusha Kassan, PhD, RPsych (she/her), resides and works on the traditional territories of the people of Treaty 7 in Southern Alberta and Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6). She also works on the territories of the Musqueam People; she is an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia. She is also the co-owner of The Psychology Group, a private practice in Calgary. Anusha's scholarship is influenced by her own bicultural identity and is informed by an overarching social justice lens. She is a Fellow of the Canadian Psychological Association, and she recently received the organization's Award for Public, Community Service, and Human Rights and Social Justice in Psychology. Learn more about Anusha on her website, Instagram, university post, and practice websites.  In this episode:  Why Anusha became a psychologist  When Anusha started private practice Purchasing a private practice Marketing the private practice  What Dr. Kassan is looking forward to  Why Anusha became a psychologist Anusha explains that her path to becoming a psychologist was paved by both purposeful and spontaneous events.  When she had to choose an undergraduate major, Anusha applied to programs in the helping professions, such as psychology and education. Later on, when she had to choose one, she chose psychology because it offered a wider scope. Dr. Kassan explains that within her family, there was a near-death experience, and she met incredible mentors. These events encouraged her to keep going and pursue additional training and schooling, which led her to complete her PhD at McGill University, and later to join the faculty at British Columbia University.  When Anusha started private practice It took about 10 years! Dr. Kassan completed a lot of clinical work through her grad school, and dabbled in private practice part-time.  However, for a few years after, Anusha's priorities shifted, and she focused more on building her career and caring for her young children, and so private practice was placed on the back burner for the time being.  Her private practice started as a small one, and mostly as a way for her to keep her skills fresh and engage with people, since being in private practice helped her to be a better teacher, and teaching helped her succeed in her private practice.  However, it has now turned into something larger. She took over from the previous owners and purchased the psychology group where she was working. Together with her cofounder, Alyssa Hasham, Anusha now runs her growing Canadian group collective.  Adopting a private practice Alyssa, Dr. Kassan's co-founder, had many conversations about starting this collective practice. They shared an office and had conversations about expanding slowly and bringing on clinicians. Things were already laid out; they just freshened up the group private practice.  However, Anusha has had to learn a few skills quickly when she became one of the founders, and that process will continue as she and the practice grow and develop over the years. Marketing the private practice Right now, Anusha and Alyssa are still figuring out what works best for their practice in terms of marketing the collective to potential clients.  Anusha and her team have invested some money into Google Ads and SEO to help boost their marketing efforts, and she has implemented some helpful tips from the Fearless Practice Podcast, too!  What Dr. Kassan is looking forward to In the upcoming months and years, Anusha is looking forward to more stability and security, since their group private practice has undergone a few changes and shifts. Additionally, Anusha wants to expand her creativity in business and implement it more into their collective.  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Christina Page: Private Practice Lessons in Growth | EP 190  Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS2MO for two months free) Get started with Hushmail here and get one month for free!

Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a textLandon Hildebrand is an Edmonton-based Registered Psychologist, trail runner, and co-owner of Approach Psychology. When Landon first joined me on the podcast, he introduced the idea of joy as a motivator. This time, he takes that concept further — reframing joy as a litmus test for psychological health in both running and life.What makes this conversation especially powerful is the perspective Landon brings. Last time, he spoke mainly as a psychologist who happens to be an athlete. This time, he shows up first as an athlete — one who also happens to be a psychologist. With honesty and vulnerability, Landon shares the personal health challenges and stresses he's faced over the past year, and how they've forced him to re-examine his relationship with sport, self, and well-being.Together, we explore:Why being psychologically healthy doesn't always look like PRs or “successful” racesHow big, unplanned life events can be catalysts for deeper healing and growthHow therapy buzzwords — safety, trust, peace, freedom, vulnerability, curiosity — play out in real lifeWhy applying these principles often takes much longer than simply learning themHow joy can serve as a compass when we feel stuck or lostLandon's blend of humour, insight, and personal reflection makes this a deeply relatable episode for anyone navigating the ups and downs of running and life beyond the pursuit of PRs.Connect with Landon:Register for his Endurance Mind online workshop Nov 19th: https://tinyurl.com/53bub6ekInstagram: @approachpsychology and @landon_ approachpsychWebsite: approachpsych.caLandon's first episode on Inspired Soles: Elevating Your Mental GameConnect with Carolyn:Instagram: @inspiredsolescast or @carolyn.c.coffinYou can help spread the running love!

Katie emphasizes the need to distinguish between genuine intuitive insights and ego-driven desires or subconscious manipulations. She suggests starting with low-stakes situations, identifying one's dominant intuitive sensory gateway, and maintaining openness and healthy skepticism. Katie also emphasizes the importance of addressing past traumas and belief systems that may hinder the reception of clear, intuitive information. She recommends working with certified trauma processing professionals to release emotional blockages and enhance intuitive abilities. Katie discussed the concept of toxic spirituality, which she defined as a spectrum of behaviors and beliefs that can be damaging to individuals. She mentioned that it can range from well-meaning but ungrounded communities to more extreme forms of manipulation and exploitation. Katie emphasized the importance of understanding trauma and mental health when dealing with spiritual awakening and the need for a nuanced approach. The potential for unregulated spiritual spaces to be exploited by emotionally immature or toxic individuals. Dr. emphasized the importance of self-responsibility and safety in these experiences. They also mentioned the growing interest in psychedelics and their potential therapeutic use, leading to more discussions about reaching spirituality. Katie and Dr. discussed the potential benefits and risks of spiritual experiences, particularly those involving psychedelics or shamanic rituals. They emphasized the importance of finding a safe and supportive environment for such experiences, as well as the need for proper training and mentorship. They also cautioned against the dangers of seeking quick fixes or shortcuts in spiritual growth and stressed the importance of integrating spiritual experiences into daily life. They agreed that spiritual experiences are more common than people realize but often go unspoken. Remember to Subscribe, Listen, Review, and Share!

In this episode of Energy Medicine, Dr. Mary welcomes registered psychologist and author Katie Turner for a powerful conversation on what it truly means to be a cycle breaker.Blending science with spirituality, Katie offers compassionate insights into how generational patterns—whether emotional, behavioral, or spiritual—shape our identities and relationships. With deep empathy and clinical expertise, she illuminates the healing path through emotional maturity, energetic boundaries, and the strength found in chosen family.Together, they dive into the complex layers of breaking cycles rooted in trauma, addiction, gender roles, and outdated belief systems. This conversation is especially meaningful for those who feel alone in their healing journey or who are questioning how to redefine inherited legacies.If you've ever felt the weight of your family history or wondered how to reclaim your truth, this episode offers validation, clarity, and the empowering reminder that transformation starts within.Key Takeaways:✨ Breaking generational cycles starts with awareness—recognizing the emotional, behavioral, or spiritual patterns we've inherited.✨ Cycle breaking is not about blaming family, but about doing better with what we now know.✨ Emotional maturity—like self-reflection, accountability, and regulation—is essential for true transformation.✨ Addiction and dysfunction in families may require strong boundaries, even if it means going low or no contact.✨ Healing doesn't require the other person to be present or alive—closure is an internal process.✨ Chosen family and supportive communities can offer the connection and safety that biological families sometimes can't.✨ Spiritual and energetic practices can help release ancestral trauma, especially for highly sensitive individuals.✨ Forgiveness is a byproduct of deep healing—not a goal to be rushed or forced.Contact Katie Turner:Website: https://katieturnerpsychology.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-turner-m-sc-r-psych-30129b88/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katieturnerpsychology/ Book: F*ck Toxic Spirituality: Avoiding Red Flags & Navigating the Spiritual Path with IntegrityContact Dr. Mary:Website: www.drmarysanders.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.maryesanders/The Ultimate Meditation Guide to Unleash Your Authentic Self

In today's show, we're talking about a new way of treating women’s most common sexual problems. My guest co-developed an online sexual health platform called eSense that's designed to bring evidence-based treatment for low sexual desire and arousal to the masses at a fraction of the cost of traditional therapy. It could very well be a game-changer in the way we treat sex problems. I am joined once again by Dr. Lori Brotto, an internationally recognized leader in sexual health research. She is a Professor in the UBC Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, a Registered Psychologist, and Canada Research Chair in Women's Sexual Health. She is also author of the book Better Sex Through Mindfulness. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and how can it help in treating problems with desire and arousal? How can mindfulness-based therapy be useful in cases of low sexual desire? How does the eSense platform leverage both CBT and mindfulness training to treat sexual difficulties? How effective is therapy administered online compared to things like face-to-face therapy and pharmaceuticals? How will technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality change sex therapy in the future? You can check out Lori’s website to learn more about her work, and you can learn more about eSense at esense.health. Got a sex question?

You've done the mindset work. You've journaled your affirmations. You've hired the coach, written the post, hit publish… So why does visibility in your business still feel like a full-body shutdown? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the real reason so many brilliant, intuitive, soul-led women still feel resistance around being seen - especially the super survivors, cycle breakers, and sensitives amongst us. (Spoiler: it's not your content. It's your shadow). In this episode we explore: ✨ The difference between “visibility mindset” and shadow visibility work ✨ Why your brilliance and boldness were likely buried in your early years ✨ The concept of your Shadow Edge - and how reclaiming it changes everything ✨ Why being visible hits harder for cycle breakers and super survivors This conversation is a reclamation for the parts of you that are still hiding behind polish and perfection. The parts that were taught to perform, shrink, or play nice. If you've ever felt like you're ready to step into more impact - but still find yourself second-guessing, over-editing, or shapeshifting your voice… This episode is for you. * Note: there is some adult language in this episode so wear earphones if you have sensitive ears around* Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.

The most common sexual problems that women experience center around low sexual desire and/or difficulty becoming aroused, formally known as female sexual interest/arousal disorder. In today's show, we're doing a deep dive into what this disorder looks like, where it comes from, and why it seems so hard for women to access treatment for it. I am joined by Dr. Lori Brotto, an internationally recognized leader in sexual health research. She is a Professor in the UBC Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, a Registered Psychologist, and Canada Research Chair in Women's Sexual Health. She is also author of the book Better Sex Through Mindfulness. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What is “female sexual interest/arousal disorder?” How is it clinically defined? How common is this disorder? What do we know about its causes? Is it physical, psychological, or a bit of both? Why does it take an average of 5 years for women to access treatment for sexual desire and arousal problems? Why is it so hard to develop drugs and medications that stimulate sexual desire?

There's an enormous chasm between evangelical thought/praxis, and the actual teachings of Jesus found in the Gospels. In this episode, we ask: how is it possible to sway so many evangelical traditions away from Jesus? We peel back the layers to reveal the methods that shape and form malformed beliefs, before describing the impact on evangelical culture. One of the primary tools used is the widespread adoption of conspiracy theories. Jared Stacy joins to share his insights on the ways conspiracy theories are entangled with evangelicalism. We then pivot to name how the reliance on conspiracy theories shapes evangelical culture with guest Dr. Ed Ng. We discuss how the religious right is shaped to stay rooted in fear as a key to guiding belief systems. “…when it’s ancient we call it a legend, when it’s modern we call it a conspiracy theory. – Jared Stacy” Episode 3 – Show Notes (00:00) – Introduction (05:30) – Jared Stacy on a history of conspiracy theory.

Welcome to Episode 103 of the #BigTalk podcast. In this episode, we tackle one of the most common struggles coaches face: self-doubt. Whether you're new to coaching or looking to level up your business, it's natural to feel insecure or uncertain about your path. If you've ever felt like an imposter, feared judgment, or worried you're not good enough to lead, you're not alone. But here's the truth: good intentions, a willingness to help others, and positive thinking alone won't lead to coaching mastery. In today's episode, we dive deep into the root cause of self-doubt and how it holds many coaches back from stepping into their true potential. You'll learn how self-doubt shows up in your coaching practice - whether it's procrastination, fear of visibility, or feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility of leading others. We'll also talk about how shadow work and psychodynamic practices can help you break through these barriers, build unshakeable confidence, and move into authentic coaching leadership. Whether you're a new or aspiring coach, or a coach who's ready to go deeper into their craft this episode is for you if you're ready to stop second-guessing yourself and step into the coach you're truly meant to be. Tune in and discover the high-level solution that will help you shift from self-doubt to coaching mastery. * Note: there is some adult language in this episode so wear earphones if you have sensitive ears around* Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.

Welcome to Episode 102 of the #BigTalk podcast. In this episode, we dive into the Call to Adventure, the first step of the Hero's Journey. This universal story pattern, rooted in ancient myths and psychology, mirrors the moment in our lives when we're invited to step out of the familiar and into the unknown - just as 2025 is doing for so many of us. But at this crossroads, many of us face an inner tug of war: fear urges us to stay safe, while curiosity tempts us to explore the possibilities of change. Using powerful storytelling and relatable examples, we explore how the Call to Adventure manifests in real life - whether through a personal crisis, a sense of restlessness, or a sudden opportunity. You'll learn why fear often arises in these moments, how curiosity can act as a quiet guide, and how to tip the scales toward growth. By the end of this episode, you'll have a new lens to see the challenges in your life not as obstacles but as invitations to transformation. Together, we'll reflect on the small steps you can take to embrace your inner hero and start answering your own Call to Adventure. * Note: there is some adult language in this episode so wear earphones if you have sensitive ears around* Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.

McBride joins us in conversation with Divya Rosaline David to discuss her latest book, “Practices for Embodied Living: Experiencing the Wisdom of Your Body.” Practices for Embodied Living offers an experiential guide-centered on prompts, activities, and opportunities for reflection-to support readers who want to practice embodiment. This approachable, visually stimulating book helps individuals and groups resist cultural myths about ideal bodies, get in touch with the goodness of their bodies, and more fully inhabit themselves. Topics include disembodiment, stress and trauma, sexuality, body image, pain and illness, oppression, and more. Each topic includes various exercises to help readers restore the mind-body connection. Author Hillary McBride, PhD, is a Registered Psychologist, researcher, podcastor, and author, but underneath all of that she is a human, who loves asking questions about what it means to be human, how we heal and grow, and what it means to be a body. She publishes written works for community and academic audiences about embodiment, trauma, eating disorders, mental health and spirituality; her bestselling book The Wisdom Of Your Body was released in 2021, Practices for Embodied Living was released in early 2024, and her next book Holy Hurt: understanding and healing from spiritual trauma will be released in spring 2025.

It can be easy to get caught up in looking at everyone else's journey when instead it's important to focus on your own. When you take private practice at your own pace, and when you incorporate your talents and passions and allow yourself to be guided from one spot to the next, you can more easily find your way in private practice instead of trying to do what everyone else has done with theirs.  In this podcast episode, Paige and I discuss her journey into private practice, how she overcame impostor syndrome, and how she's bringing in her personal passions into her Canadian practice.  MEET PAIGE Paige Abbott is a Registered Psychologist and founder of Sana Psychological in Alberta. Paige has been a Psychologist since 2009 and running her private practice since 2019. Paige expanded from solo to group practice in 2023. Learn more about Paige on her practice website, Psychology Today, and LinkedIn profiles.  In this episode:  Paige's interest in and pursuit for psychology  Heading towards private practice  Overcoming impostor syndrome  Marketing authentically and successfully  Paige's goals for the future  Advice for listeners  Paige's interest in and pursuit for psychology  For Paige, becoming a psychologist was a collection of different circumstances that stretched over a few years. Initially, she wanted to be a writer, and was passionate about the written word and she knew that it was something she wanted to take forward into a future career.  In her undergrad, Paige took psychology and really enjoyed it, and it came to feel like “a match made in Heaven”. Afterward, Paige got her Masters in Psychology and began her career as a psychologist in Alberta. After the assistance program, Paige worked as an outpatient psychologist for almost a decade and after that she began to dip her toes into private practice in 2020, where she is now, with her own fully established private practice! Heading towards private practice  Even though Paige always wanted to work for herself, she got caught up working in agencies for many years before finally listening to the inner call to open up her own practice.  Once she committed to being her own boss and working on her private practice, she found that she enjoyed the daily tasks and inner workings of managing and taking care of a business.  Paige also uses Jane App, and it allows her to streamline her practice with more efficiency as well as allowing her that sense of creativity and ownership to set things up as she likes!  Overcoming impostor syndrome Paige initially held back from expanding her solo practice into a group practice because she felt unsure. Often with impostor syndrome, it helps to remind yourself of all the times you have succeeded in the past. Marketing authentically and successfully  Paige prioritizes digital marketing since for her it's the thing that works. It's more than having the profile on Psychology Today, it's about showcasing your business truly in an effort to find the best-fit clients. Paige's goals for the future  In the upcoming months, Paige is looking to scale down on the amount of hours she spends in session so that she can find a more holistic work/ life balance.  Paige wants to move from more direct client work to more mentorship, as both a change in her hourly work and as a progress that she wants to experiment with in her career.  Advice for listeners Do it! Get into private practice. There's never going to be a perfect moment, so if you hear the call, honor it and get started.
