Ep 52: Getting Real with Jessica + Jen on Trauma, Self-Love + Purpose

In the episode and conversation with Jen Gaita Siciliano of the Not As Crazy As You Think Podcast, I open up about my work in consulting,  personal path of mental health, and the state of the Western medical approach to mental illness, and how we can be more vigilant in our healing. 

Through a trauma-informed approach, I explore the landscape behind all forms of trauma, including collective and ancestral, and how working through these issues are part of the the beginning steps to finding purpose through the pain.  During the interview, I also share self-care strategies and self-love rituals, as well as offer astute advice for those who are trying to find a better path to healing, but find it difficult to get out of bed everyday. 

I honor getting to the root cause of mental distress,  rather than throwing away the individual through the treatment of getting labeled and medicated through traditional psychiatry, and share my own special purpose in helping others on this healing journey.
