TITLE Navigating Social Situations as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) GUEST Solo episode EPISODE OVERVIEW I recently attended a holiday party, and I observed the different stages I went through: feeling engaged and comfortable.  Then I had to set a boundary.  Then all of a sudden, something snapped, and I was done talking, and I wanted to go outside.  I found myself sitting alone, and I wondered what was wrong with me. Once I noticed the negative self-talk, I found a way to be present. I needed to leave the party before anyone else did.  How did I manage that? Then I talk about expectations that Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) set that may not be helpful.

TITLE Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, RDDP, CDWF  Interviews Patricia  GUEST Sarah Buino EPISODE OVERVIEW Sarah Buino interviews me—these are from her show notes--One of my greatest joys in life is connecting with a fellow outcast and truth-teller. All the better if said person comes equipped with a badass nickname like Mad Lady-Balls. Patricia Young, LCSW, the person behind the stern, brass-plated moniker is everything you’d expect her to be: hilarious, whip-smart, and dishy. She’s also unapologetically sensitive, a trait she’s built into both a successful career and a popular podcast.  SARAH’S SHOW NOTES FROM HER PODCAST CONVERSATIONS WITH A WOUNDED HEALER “I wish somebody would have told that to me: it’s okay to struggle. We’re supposed to struggle; we’re humans. We’re complicated; we’re messy.” ~Patricia Young Highly sensitive. If you’ve ever had that phrase leveled against you, then you know the sting of those words. You’re also acquainted with the shame-spiral that accompanies all that over-thinking and over-feeling. But it’s precisely these traits, the intensity and the emotionality, that Patricia says any highly sensitive person (or HSP) should reclaim and celebrate. They’re the qualities that make HSPs gifted healers, or align them with social justice issues. Still, it’s not always an easy go.  “We have so many strengths,” Patricia says of her fellow HSPs, “and our culture doesn’t really value sensitivity.” Her podcast, Unapologetically Sensitive, however, gives HSPs the space to come as they are: too intense; too dramatic; too anxious; too somber. Patricia gifts HSPs with the tools to fashion those tired pejoratives into enviable superpowers.  I could talk to Patricia for hours; she extends the same authenticity on display in her podcast to this show. She does the same in her therapy and coaching practice. “It doesn’t matter if we’re therapists or not. We’re still human beings that have human struggles on a daily basis. And I really want to pull the curtain back on that because we’re just humans.”  I love this so much, not least of all because she follows that sentiment up with THIS gem: “The healers that don’t look at their own wounding scare the f@!#ng sh!t out of me.” Same, girl. Same.  PODCAST INTERVIEWER Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, RDDP, CDWF  is a therapist, teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

TITLE If You Can’t See, Imagine with John, the Blind Woodsman GUEST John Furniss  EPISODE OVERVIEW John is an amazing woodworker who is totally blind.  He also has a cooking segment on Tik Tok called Cooking with the Lights Out.  John and his wife Anni, are both talented artists. John talks about how he lost his vision, and how he uses his strengths to create amazing pieces of woodwork.  He explains some of the ways he navigates in a sighted world, as well as some dos and don’ts for people who want to help someone who is blind. This was a delightful interview. GUEST John Furniss is a woodworker, and is totally blind. The blueprints for any of his projects start forming as a picture held in his mind. Because he has previously had vision, it allows him to visualize the design and change it any way he needs until it feels right. In his own way, he still uses sight by forming a physical object that originated from an imagined diagram. The journey in his own woodshop has mirrored his journey through blindness. Each project has brought its own challenge, much like navigating the landscape of a sighted world without sight. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife Anni and his "fur kid" Pickle.

TITLE A Highly Sensitive Therapist talks about Feeling Invisible, & How She Views Her Anxiety After Learning She Was An HSP GUEST Kitty McCormick, LCSW EPISODE OVERVIEW Kitty is a childhood friend who is now a therapist.  We talk about the anxieties we both felt as children, but never discussed. Kitty’s father was a prominent public figure, and she was pushed into acting/auditioning as a child to help with her shyness. She also talks about some of the barriers she experienced with non-Highly Sensitive Therapists, and her desire to please. Kitty also talks about the challenges she experienced in groups (including therapy groups) being an introvert until she took the Online HSP Course. BIO Kitty McCormick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Los Angeles, who has avidly worked with children and families for over 20 years. She received her Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California, with a concentration in mental health practice with individuals, families, and groups.

TITLE I Don’t Have Time For a Breakdown; I Don’t Need Help. I Can Do It Myself GUEST  Bianca Hughes, LPC EPISODE OVERVIEW  Bianca talks about women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, and they struggle with people-pleasing, overextending themselves, setting boundaries, and they believe that they have to figure it out for themselves, and that there is no time for emotions. This is called Black Superwoman Syndrome.  We talk about its origins as well as cultural considerations. We talk about epigenetics, and how trauma gets passed down through generations; even when it isn’t talked about. GUEST BIO Bianca specializes in perfectionism, helping people embrace their imperfections and authentically be themselves. She helps clients work through concerns of self-worth, unhealthy relationships, identity, or feeling overwhelmed. Her approach within therapy is direct but open, meeting clients where they are, providing them freedom to change when they’re ready. She believes in empowering and equipping people with skills, tools, and resources they can utilize for life. In addition, her passion is to eliminate mental health stigmas, which are prevalent within the black community. As well as eliminating the gap between Christianity and therapy. Bianca is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, podcast host, speaker and authenticity coach.

TITLE How Do We Navigate The Holidays During a Global Pandemic  GUEST  Jill Johnson-Young, LCSW EPISODE OVERVIEW  Jill is a grief expert, and she talks about options for the holidays.  What if we can’t be together? What if we’ve lost loved ones due to COVID? How do we handle politics at the table? What about those struggling because they have lost jobs? How do we include them without them feeling burdened? What should we remember? What are some bright spots? How can we create new traditions? How can we honor those we’ve lost. Aren’t we going to upset folks if we talk about the people who have died?  GUEST BIO Jill Johnson-Young, LCSW, is an author, CEO, and therapist specializing in end of life and chronic illness, grief and loss, and dementia, and provides Critical Incident Stress Debriefing when a death occurs in a workplace. As CEO of Central Counseling Services in Riverside and Murrieta,  California, she and her business partner created a space for healing that is safe for those who have experienced loss & trauma, and makes it possible for clients to grow and heal. She is a certified by the Grief Recovery Institute,  and has created a training and certification for providing grief groups based on her “Finish, Reorganize and Reenter” process, with a full solution focused and secular curriculum for groups and retreats. Jill spent more than a decade with hospice as a medical social worker, and director of social workers, chaplains and grief staff for a large hospice covering more than 3,000 square miles. Jill was part of making her community dementia-friendly as a Purple City, and facilitates a dementia support group that is now online and open to all. As a clinician, Jill works with clients and families facing dementia, end of life, chronic illness, grief and loss of all kinds, and geriatric and aging issues. She also coaches those who have had a very recent loss in how to manage the immediate aftermath of a death, and therapists in helping grieving and dementia clients. She loves speaking about those areas on the national level. Her sense of humor fosters better learning. Her goal is to make therapists better at recognizing grief and dementia and knowing how to help clients effectively and with all the areas of life they impact. Jill came to her chosen areas of expertise through her extensive hospice experience and became a subject expert on grief after being widowed twice and marrying the funeral director who took care of both her late wives. Her second wife died as a result of Lewy Body Dementia. She is a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and the American Association for Therapeutic Humor (AATH).  Jill  has a website with resources for therapists and anyone interested in learning more about grief and dementia, www.jilljohnson-young.com, and one for grievers, www.yourpaththroughgrief.com.  She also co-hosts a weekly grief chat with Debra Joy Hart, “Humor, Grace and Grief” on Facebook Live. Her book “The Rebellious Widow: A practical guide to love and life after loss” will be out in March,  2021 in bookstores, online and in ebook format.  She now spends quiet evenings with Stacie in the mortuary several nights a week. They share their life with three adult daughters, two grandsons, and a small herd of Oodles, who normally go to work and presentations with her. In the current pandemic they help out at home.  PODCAST HOST Patricia Young hosts the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive, and works with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) helping them to understand their HSP traits, and turning their perceived shortcomings into superpowers. Patricia is passionate about providing education to help HSPs and non-HSPs understand and truly appreciate the amazing gifts they have to offer. Patricia works globally online with HSPs providing coaching. Patricia also facilitates online groups for HSPs that focus on building community and developing skills (identifying your superpowers, boundaries, perfectionism, dealing with conflict, mindfulness, embracing emotions, creating a lifestyle that supports the HSP, communication, and more).

TITLE Fear of Failure & Overwhelm When We "Should" Be Excited GUEST Solo episode EPISODE OVERVIEW When exciting opportunities happen, our initial response can be overwhelm and fear. Sometimes we doubt our ability (or worth) to make/accept positive changes.  In this episode I talk about being asked to write a book, and how my gremlins came up (they’re still up), and what I’m doing to be present to the discomfort, and how I’m using tools to calm and reassure myself. Have you given up because the fear gets to be too much? You can do hard things!

In this week’s episode of the Inspiration Network podcast, I chat about what it means to be a Spiritual Being having a HUMAN Experience, and how we can choose to cultivate the conditions for the full expression of our soul calling.  To live ON PURPOSE. We are all part of The HUMAN Experience. It is WHO we are. It is WHY we’re here. And yet, so often we feel separated from living our fullest, most powerful HUMAN Experience. We hold back. Play it safe. We keep ourselves small so that we don’t rock the boat, create conflict in relationships, or bump up against the bs of our own limiting beliefs. How is that working out for you? Don’t you crave more? More freedom, more purpose, more support, more fun, more connection, more abundance, more love. I know I do.  So…let’s get to it!  The HUMAN Experience 6-month Coaching Mastermind starts March 19, 2020. Earlybird pricing available until March 1.

Traver Boehm is the author of the books Today I Rise, and, Man UNcivilized. He’s a two time TEDx speaker and men’s coach, as well as the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement —redefining the way men around the globe experience their masculinity by uniquely blending both the Primal Masculine with the Divine.  In this Episode of the Inspiration Network podcast Traver and I talk about the rise of the feminine and how essential it is that men also have a space - a culture - of support.  We get into the need for men to be supported as they step into this new consciousness.  Redefining masculinity as divine AND primal.  Traver draws upon an eclectic background ranging from professional bodyguarding and Mixed Martial Arts to Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver also teaches humans to skillfully use the inevitable pain of their lives as fuel for growth and positive change. When not teaching workshops or radically shifting the way men experience their masculinity, Traver can be found chewing on his thumbnail in front of his laptop, chasing surf around the globe, or being reminded that yoga is significantly harder than it looks.

  TITLE Two Participants From The Online HSP Course Share Their Experience   GUESTS Shelly Aaron & Melissa   EPISODE OVERVIEW   You get to hear past participants talk about these questions—Did you have resistance to taking the Course? How did you feel about the cost? Was it worth it? How was it having an online experience? Did you feel connected to the other members in the group? Did you feel that 1 person dominated or that you didn’t get your needs met? Did you feel seen, heard and honored? Did the Course meet your expectations? How was it being with 6 other HSPs? Did you feel the group was a safe place to share? What If you’re not sure you’re an HSP?   HIGHLIGHTS What are some things that you feel are important to share about the Course Melissa talks about how she felt heard in a way she hadn’t ever felt heard I ask if participants ever felt shamed or exposed in a way that made them feel uncomfortable Both Melissa and Shelly talk about how they were impacted by the way that I show up as a facilitator Participants felt like they had permission to share what they felt afraid or embarrassed to share This allowed other group members to share in an open, vulnerable and safe way Participants felt that the Course was a safe space to share How was it doing online work? Did you feel connected to other group members online? My gremlins come up during the interview, and I share this How was it being in a group of 6 other HSPs One participant took the whole course from bed (I had no idea) It’s nice to be in a group of HSPs who are interested in doing the work This Course is about honoring your needs Participants felt like they weren’t alone when they heard others share about things they experienced I felt like I finally belonged somewhere—receiving support and offering support felt good Melissa said she would NEVER take this Course, and they money was a barrier. She talked about her experience after taking the Course Melissa and her husband both took the Course, and she talks about how this has impacted her marriage Melissa also talks about learning her son is an HSP, and how this has impacted their relationship What would you say to someone who may be considering the Course, but feels like they’ve don’t things like this, or that it’s too expensive If you’re not sure you’re an HSP, several people took this Course anyway, and they said they benefited learning more I ask Shelly and Melissa if they ever felt like someone dominated the group, or they didn’t get their needs met How we used reality checks when someone felt that they were taking up too much time, and Shelly and Melissa talk about how this impacted them           BIOS   Shelly Aaron As a current yoga teacher, health coach & bodyworker, I've spent the last 15 years of my career, passionately coaching individuals to exceed their goals...which has ultimately led me to this amazing work of video and audio production.    ​ If you're a yoga teacher, trainer, or entrepreneur thinking about creating your own audio or video productions, but need some assistance in getting started, we should talk.   I offer services from just getting started to getting ready to launch.

In today's Brain Changing episode... Overall, the main message I want you to walk away with is that we don’t need fixing. We honestly don’t. And if we feel like we do - we will more often than not go out and get the fixing that we feel is right for us at that moment in time. When we stop trying to fix someone else, we instead allow space for relationships to blossom and flourish. We can laugh and enjoy each other when we stop trying to fix problems that don’t exist.  If you enjoyed this podcast, please like, comment, or share with a friend; and tune in next time for more game changing tips on My Gratitude Attitude!

This week on the MGA podcast I chat with Lopa Van Der Mersch.  Lopa is a lifelong health seeker and founder & CEO of Rasa Koffee, the first coffee alternative to offer functional health benefits through adaptogenic herbs. She is also a mother of two children under 3, and credits her ability to do All of The Things in large part to the help of adaptogens, herbs that help your body adapt under stress. Lopa co-founded Rasa Koffee two years ago, and spent much of that time shoring up the complicated logistics and operations back-end, before fully launching Rasa to a wider audience. Rasa is founded on the belief that by bringing life-giving adaptogenic herbs into your morning beverage ritual, you can actually transform your days; and this effect has been seen time and again as customers relay how Rasa has genuinely changed their lives.

On today's My Gratitude Attitude podcast, we enjoyed a very deep discussion of holistic healing with Melanie Phillips, a Clinical Ayruvedic Specialist who has studied medicine in the Ayruvedic tradition for over a decade.  Melanie is the co-author of Your Irresistible Life: 4 Seasons of Self-Care through Ayurveda and Yoga Practices that Work and the author of bestselling book: Living After Loss: A Soulful Guide to Freedom.   Melanie helps people to heal and balance the mind, body, spirit connection by using yoga and Ayrudeva, as well as many other natural healing techniques.  In today's conversation, we talked about a variety of concepts and practices that can be used to enhance your quality of life, encourage growth, and promote overall healing in all areas of life.  Using Ayruveda, we can find our own personal way to live a more freeing lifestyle, rid ourselves of self-limiting ideas of who we are, and ultimately liberate ourselves from our eternal suffering.  Using gratitude, we can rewire our mind, body, and spirit connection and find more peace and joy in the moment.  We really appreciated hearing about all of Melanie's ideas and practices, and we hope you do too!   If you need support and would like to get into contact with Melanie, please visit her website: www.madhurimethod.com   Thank you for listening to this week's show!  If you enjoyed this episode of the My Gratitude Attitude Podcast, please like, comment, or share with a friend!     You can find Lindsay Lesage at www.mygratitudeattitude.com and our private Facebook Group.  This My Gratitude Attitude Podcast episode was produced by Shelly Aaron Productions.

In today's MGA podcast, I sat down for a conversation with the owner of PranaVidaStyle, Amelia Barnes.  A hardworking mother, wife, and entrepreneur, Amelia's dream started in her basement where she hand cut all the fabric for her designs herself, and would have them put together by a seamstress while she worked on marketing her business.  Originally inspired to start her clothing label by working as a yoga instructor, Amelia's company has grown exponentially. From hand cutting in her basement, to a fully manufactured clothing line where she uses eco-friendly textiles to create her unique and highly valued designs.  In our conversation today, we touched on a number of subjects relating to how Amelia manages her work and family life, as well as plant-based living, and how she has used gratitude to heal and grow in her own life. I hope you really enjoy today's conversation!   If you are interested in learning more about Amelia's business, check her out on Pranavidastyle.com, or Instagram @pranavidastyle, and @ameliakyoga.   As always, we hope you enjoyed this podcast, and if you did, please like, comment, and pass it along to someone you know it could inspire.   To find out more about our wonderful sponsors: Rasa Koffee: http://www.mygratitudeattitude.com/rasa.html  Prana Vida Style: https://www.pranavidastyle.com Sign up for Mom and Baby Yoga with MOGA Use coupon code GRATITUDE to receive 20% off of the online mommy and baby yoga. https://mogamoms.vhx.tv   You can find Lindsay Lesage at www.mygratitudeattitude.com and our private Facebook Group.   This My Gratitude Attitude Podcast episode was produced by Shelly Aaron Productions.

For today’s podcast I had the fortunate opportunity to have a conversation with my friend Diane Liska about her journey and mission as a therapist who uses holistic healing methods including yoga and psychotherapy to help people work through their own healing process.  Diane has been practicing psychotherapy for over 10 years and has learned and grown so much through her own healing practice, as well as in her work.  In our conversation today, we got to talk about so many beautiful topics from how Diane began her journey and how she has changed through the process, to how she managed her family life with her work, and so many more eye-opening experiences that she went through along the way.  We will also learn about some of her own practices for cultivating gratitude, self-compassion, and connection.  Working and living in a state of flow has changed Diane’s life so much since she took a leap of faith and stepped into her heart's path.  We hope you feel the light and wisdom that Diane shared with us to be enlightening and healing.  If you enjoyed this podcast please like, comment or share with a friend; and we hope you will join us next week for another episode of My Gratitude Attitude!

Amy talks about the struggles of motherhood and what it’s like to start an entrepreneurial venture as a single mom.  mogamoms.com  Sign up for Mom and Baby Yoga with MOGA!  Motherhood is a marathon you want to prepare for. • Prenatal Yoga is a powerful tool you can use to prepare for the hardest marathon your body will ever go through, and connect with your little one before they enter the world. • Mom & Baby Yoga is Sensory Yoga for your baby!

This week I chat with the amazing Megan Marie Gates!  Megan is a sound practitioner / yoga teacher / passionate poet / ecstatic dance facilitator living in the fields and forests of Prince Edward County, Ontario. Coming from a career in music theatre + dance, the fusion of both creative + yogic practices led her to the healing arts.    Megan is also the the co-founder of WILD HEART HEALING ARTS: a holistic, creative gathering space in Prince Edward County and she splits her time between this space and running around Ontario offering movement + sound medicinals. She is headlining the Toronto Yoga Show and will be our musical aspect of the emPOWERed REST Retreat this coming April.  We talk about growing up in the Prairies, doing her own thing, and we even get into the cultural appropriation of Yoga.

In this brain changing episode, Lindsay shares how the intention of gratitude propels you into the very things you want to bring into your life. Listen-in to hear how a highly visual mindset can either 'make it' or 'break it' in getting us to our goals. When we visualize things, we can do one of two things: we can perpetuate fear, worry, or upset or... we can focus on visualizing the very things that we want to draw into our lives.  We really do have the power to attract what we want into our lives with the perspective that we choose to focus upon! “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” - Henry Ford  Find out more about our wonderful sponsors: Rasa Koffee: http://www.mygratitudeattitude.com/rasa.html  Prana Vida: https://www.pranavidastyle.com Sign up for Mom and Baby Yoga with MOGA Use coupon code GRATITUDE to receive 20% off of the online mommy and baby yoga. https://mogamoms.vhx.tv   You can find Lindsay Lesage at www.mygratitudeattitude.com and our private Facebook Group.

“My life’s philosophy is to treat all beings with love, kindness and compassion for we are all connected and deserve equal respect.”  —Jewels I am so so grateful to have Jewels Wilkinson on the podcast today. She is one of those human beings that you instantly want to stand next to so that you can try and absorb some of the light and good energy that is coming out of her. I first met her in Sweden at a 109 World Women’s Yoga Retreat and we later traveled to Denmark together with a bunch of the other girls from the group. The unexpected death of her father made Jewels realize how short life is and that she no longer wanted fear to run her life. So Jewels achieved her dream of becoming a yoga teacher. Her personal struggles and healing taught her how resilient the human soul is and inspired her to help others find their truest authentic selves through the connection of the mind, body and soul with yoga and meditation. She has a fascinating story and has found so much gratitude in some really really difficult struggles. Let’s a deep breath in and a long exhale out and we’ll hear from Jewels herself.   You can find Jewels Wilkinson at @gypseafullofjewels You can find Lindsay Lesage at www.mygratitudeattitude.com and our private Facebook Group.

She is an International Chef, Conscious Entrepreneur and raised her two children with her husband, in the jungle of Costa Rica. In addition to providing easy access to healthy lactose/dairy free, gluten free, live superfoods, and macrobiotic recipes Joanne has expanded her services to include online plant-based cooking courses and her Raw Food Chef Certification are available to anyone with internet access.  I first met Joanne while taking one of her Raw food classes where we learned how to make vegan cheeses using nuts and seeds. The class was so amazing that I signed up again for her desert class and have also since gifted her classes to family and friends.
