Ingrid: Being Overlooked by Doctors

  

In this episode, I connect with Ingrid Abild-Pedersen who shares about her years of being overlooked by medical professionals who weren’t able to connect the dots between her symptoms and underlying trauma. We discuss how to break free of being stuck in a diagnosis in either the medical or mental health system. We also share some important tips for how you can advocate for yourself to make sure you are getting the care and support you need!

Ingrid wants you to know that, “there is hope. If you are stuck in the mental health or medical system or in old pain, you don’t have to be there … and life is beautiful. So, hope!”

Year of Self-Care: Wait

This week, we get to explore the power of honoring our resistance.

Ya know, most of the time, we are told to resist resistance. That it's a sign of fear, limiting beliefs. And yes, that is true sometimes. But sometimes resistance is our intuition letting us know that the best move is to not move.

Learning how to discern the difference is key to our living and thriving.

Peace Out 2022!

 Wishing You a Happy Holiday and New Year!

As 2021 wrapped last year, I was so longing for more time being with my people, having adventures, connecting, getting back to things I've been so missing, and it's sweet to look back on this year and see that so much of that came into reality.

This year felt so much lighter than the last two. Pandamic thaw I suppose :)

And with that lightness, I've been able to take some much needed deep breaths, look ahead with renewed energy, and take account of this wild ride called my life!

Here's some of what I'm celebrating this year:

• The Empowered Parent: A Child S*xual Abuse Prevention & Response program launched this past April and we did a second training in November too! I am extremely excited about this new program I'm offering in partnership with Toby Stark. If you'd like to be notified when the next training opens for registration, join the waitlist here.

• 789 people have now completed my 28-Day Boot Camp for the Brain self-study program, and I am very proud that I continue to be able to offer this life changing program for those who need it on a sliding scale in honor of my commitment that anyone impacted by trauma, at the very least, know how to practice the basics when it comes to healing and retraining the brain.

• Saw Alicia Keyes in concert and was left utterly speechless!

• I am so proud of the Year of Self-Care series I did this year.

• Got to take my honey on a road trip through my life - making stops in Chicago, St. Louis, and Bartlesville. Along the way, caught up with dear old friends and family. It always feels good to go back to my roots!

• Finally found the candles of my dreams - May-Bel Candles made by a badass female entrepreneur!! Needless to say, most of my peeps will be getting the sampler pack! :)

• 2022 marks the end of my 15th year as a S*xual Abuse Recovery Coach. Witnessing the growth and healing of my clients is by far the highlight of my year!

Some things I'm looking forward to in 2023:

• My regularly offered monthly virtual adult survivors group will get a facelift in 2023 as I launch a new partnership with the CPTSD Foundation!  

 

• Travel! My guy and I are daydreaming about a trip to Japan!

 

• Be sure to subscribe to my youtube channel so you can tune in to my new series "The Year of the Inner Child"!

 

• I'll be launching the 10th season of the Beyond Surviving Podcast! Subscribe here.

 

• Excited for the next Beyond Surviving Group Program for Women. Go here to apply (starts February 2023)!

Each year brings with it more surprises, challenges, and opportunities, and as I turn the corner and start my 16th year in business (good god!), I am so curious to see what 2023 will bring!

With deep gratitude, my wish for you is that your holiday and new year are filled with joy, love, laughter, and strength.

From our little family to yours - much love,

Year of Self-Care: Peace

Now you might be surprised that this week's invitation to find peace has nothing to do with breathing deep or stillness...instead it has everything to do with being okay not having all the answers!

Say what?! I know, I know. Some of y'all are going to really be challenged by this one.

Yet there is so much peace to be gained when we embrace confusion!

Year of Self-Care: Support

What gets in the way of you asking for support? We can have lots of hang ups and false beliefs that get in the way and cause us to miss out on the JOY of receiving.

Let's talk about the importance of having balance in our relationships and not blocking the support others want to offer!

Year of Self-Care: Priorities

"When you know what's important, saying no gets much easier."

Oh hell yeah! I love that and it is sooooo true.

But we sometimes get paralyzed when trying to figure out what's most important. Tune in to hear one of my favorite tools for getting my priorities straight!

Year of Self-Care: Connection

 This week, I invite you to explore connection as a source of comfort, a source of challenge, and a source of growth.

I also speak to the BS myth that "you must love yourself before you can love someone else." Surprised by that!? Many people are, but as Hendrix says in the book "Getting the Love You Want", our relationships can be a place of healing!
