It's Therapy Thursday!!

Amazing Soul's journey of healing will inspire anyone feeling trapped by their own pain. After two decades of crippling lower back pain, she discovered a transformative path of introspection that changed everything. By embracing her pain as a teacher, she uncovered her purpose through a deep understanding of personal patterns and limiting beliefs. Her story is a testament to the power of inner work, as illustrated by the poignant lyrics of Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror," urging us all to start with the person we see every day.

Throughout our conversation, we explore how simplicity, fun, compassion, and kindness can transform lives when approached with a childlike mindset. Imagine breaking free from the chains of resistance by making small, playful changes in daily routines that disrupt ingrained thought patterns. Amazing Soul discusses the incredible concept of neuroplasticity, which shows us that our brains can change and evolve when approached with compassion and understanding. We share anecdotes that highlight the importance of revisiting early belief systems to foster genuine transformation, always emphasizing the need for empathy and self-compassion in this journey of self-discovery.

The heart of our episode is the celebration of childlike qualities and the power of curiosity over judgment. With profound stories and metaphors, we encourage listeners to "Feel Everything And Relax," confronting fears with ease and nurturing the playful spirit within. The joy and innocence of embracing one's inner child are coupled with the wisdom needed to navigate adulthood's challenges. Together, we create a vision of a universe where self-change ripples outward, creating a world filled with love and light. Join us as we embark on this journey of empowerment, acceptance, and growth, forging paths to self-discovery and healing with open hearts.

When the path of self-discovery intersects with the embrace of one's true identity, the journey can be transformative. That's a truth our guest, Ann Russo, knows well as a psychotherapist and advocate for culturally affirming care. Together with the heartening presence of Janet Hale, we traverse the tender terrains of mental health, social justice, and personal identity. Ann sheds light on her mission to aid the queer community, people of color, and those in non-traditional relationships, reinforcing the episode's spirit of inclusivity and compassion.

Woven into our conversation are stories that resonate with the heartache and triumph of coming out, the challenges of familial acceptance, and the dynamic nature of sexual fluidity. We reflect on how societal constructs and family expectations shape our personal truths, while emphasizing the critical role parents play in nurturing spaces for children to discover their authentic selves. The thread of enthusiastic consent and the consequences of identity imposition are unravelled, illustrating the importance of self-exploration without boundaries.

Ending on a note of spiritual solace and the affirmation of selfhood, our dialogue takes a turn towards the healing aspects of spirituality and self-acceptance. Ann's journey through her own therapy practice highlights the accessibility of mental health support and her unwavering commitment to professional growth in the field. Our episode wraps with a hopeful outlook on the upcoming group that addresses the intersection of Christianity and queerness, extending an invitation to our listeners to contribute to this enriching conversation.

Have you ever considered the possibility that your mind might hold the key to relieving your physical pain? Brandy Gillmore joins me, Candace Fleming, for an eye-opening discussion that will challenge what you think you know about the healing process. Brandy's remarkable journey from relying on a wheelchair , walker, and cane to achieving a complete recovery is truly miraculous. Together, we unpack the complex relationship between our emotions and our physical health, and how understanding this connection can bring about significant health improvements for those grappling with chronic pain and illness.

We explore the established truths of the mind-body connection, understanding the impact of stress on the body. Going deeper, medical studies show that certain emotions can speed up healing.

From this we can more clearly see the transformative power of mindset, marvel at the tale of a woman whose throat tumor vanished overnight, and discuss why structured methods in emotional and physical self-healing can lead to lasting wellness.

If you're searching for motivation or validation that a supportive community can profoundly impact your journey to health, look no further. From the importance of recognizing and changing negative patterns to the remarkable potential of the mind in sparking self-transformation, this episode is packed with insights.

Facing life's storms with unwavering courage, my sister Amanda and I, Candace Fleming, come together in a raw exchange on the trials and triumphs of Essential Mental Healing. Amanda, a beacon of resilience, unfolds her narrative from teen motherhood to the hallways of nursing, painting a picture of the grit and grace it takes to juggle family, career, and self-reliance. Our conversation meanders through the valleys and peaks of her life, revealing the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood and the steadfast faith that has been both her anchor and her compass.

The power of positivity and an unshakeable faith take center stage as we hear from a single mother whose journey through nursing school is marred by financial woes and personal battles, yet illuminated by her belief in the divine. Her saga echoes the strength found in the simplicity of spaghetti dinners and the refuge of gospel hymns, reminding us that serenity can be found in the midst of chaos. Through laughter and tears, we explore how the alchemy of optimism transforms the lead of hardship into the gold of personal growth and achievement.

In the concluding chapters of our heart-to-heart, we traverse a landscape of adversity that ranges from the seismic shift of a family's cross-country relocation to the subtle art of effective communication. I share the profound impacts of personal transformation on our bonds with others, underscoring the significance of reaching out for support in times of despair. Our heartfelt episode draws to a close, with an invitation to our listeners to join the conversation and a reminder of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline — a beacon for those navigating through life's tumultuous waters.
