Exploring New Paths: Finding Balance and Fulfillment as a Parent

Exploring New Paths: Finding Balance and Fulfillment as a ParentBeing a parent can often feel like a daunting task. With so many demands on our time, energy, and resources, it can be difficult to find balance and fulfillment in this important role. But it is possible to lead a fulfilling and balanced life as a parent. It starts with exploring new paths and challenging ourselves to think differently.The key to finding balance and fulfillment as a parent is to remember that it is okay to take time for yourself. It is so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day demands of parenting, but it is essential to carve out time for yourself to do something that brings you joy.As a Qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, Rachel has a strong background and years of experience in mental health. She is trained to support and guide people with common mental health problems (such as anxiety, depression, OCD and stress) to and through their recovery using CBT. But there were many patients she assessed within her work in the NHS who were struggling with NORMAL feelings of stress, low self-esteem, anxiety and feeling down, but who didn't quite fit into the diagnosis criteria and were therefore sent on their not-so-merry way without my support. Sure, the NHS is stretched beyond belief and not everyone can access the treatment they need, but she always wondered what became of those people who slipped through the net.

My Honest Trauma Story | My Story of Near Death | WrightsMind #mentalhealth

Listen to the original episode hereWhen asked about his greatest motivation in his career, Christopher Wright reflected upon his life and dedicated that title to all individuals who have overcome adversity to create a better life for themselves.

Despite the difficulties he faced throughout his youth, Chris has carried the value of helping others into his career. Now, he is a renowned podcast host and celebrated keynote speaker, and mental health advocate.Chris’ passion for advocating for mental wellness spurred from his traumatic childhood. Early on, he was exposed to the antics of his father’s racially-driven biker gang. At one point, due to his parents being under the influence and unattentive, he fell out of a moving vehicle, breaking his neck. After this near-death experience, both of his parents eventually passed away from extreme drug use. Chris, unfortunately, witnessed his mother’s passing first-hand. Throughout the rest of his adolescence, he was the victim of various levels of abuse at home and while in foster care. While these horrifying events could have broken him, Chris persevered. He went on to graduate from college with a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Development from The University of Arizona Global Campus, and he is now a dedicated husband and father. Driven by a life’s purpose to give hope to those who may feel stuck or alone due to their circumstances, Chris gives back at every opportunity. Notably, he served on the board of an international nonprofit and now has a Mental Health and Wellness Professional (MHW) Diploma.In addition, he launched a fund through Warren Village to give money in support of single mothers seeking to improve their lives as well as those of their children.

Embracing Vulnerability: How Honesty and Transparency Can Lead to Success

Segment 1:According to Brené Brown, a researcher and expert on vulnerability, vulnerability is the willingness to show up and be seen, to be honest and transparent, to let ourselves be vulnerable. (Brown, Brené. "The Power of Vulnerability." TED, 2010. https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability)Research shows that vulnerability can lead to deeper connections with others, improved mental and physical health, and increased creativity and innovation. (Brown, Brené. "The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are." Hazelden Publishing, 2010)A study by Harvard Business Review found that leaders who are more vulnerable have higher levels of trust and credibility with their team. (HBR Staff. "Why Vulnerability Is Essential for Leadership." Harvard Business Review, 2016. https://hbr.org/2016/03/why-vulnerability-is-essential-for-leadership)Segment 2:Many people think that being vulnerable means being weak or exposing themselves to harm. But that's not the case. Vulnerability is about being open and honest, not about being weak.In fact, being vulnerable can actually make you stronger and more resilient. A study by the University of Arizona found that people who are more vulnerable have a stronger sense of self and are more capable of handling stress and adversity. (Martinez-Perez, B., et al. "The Benefits of Being Vulnerable." University of Arizona, 2017. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-moment-youth/201711/the-benefits-being-vulnerable)Segment 3:So, how can we be more vulnerable? Well, it starts with being honest with ourselves and others. It means being willing to share our thoughts and feelings, even if they're uncomfortable. It also means being open to feedback and criticism.But it's important to remember that vulnerability is a process, not a destination. It takes time and practice to become more vulnerable, but the benefits are well worth it.Conclusion:In conclusion, vulnerability can be difficult, but it's also incredibly powerful. By being vulnerable, we can deepen our connections with others, improve our mental and physical health, and increase our creativity and innovation. Remember, vulnerability is not a weakness, it's a strength. So, next time you're feeling vulnerable, embrace it, and see where it takes you.Additional Resources:Brené Brown's website: https://brenebrown.com/"The Gifts of Imperfection" by Brené Brown: https://www.amazon.com/Gifts-Imperfection-Let-Supposed-Embrace/dp/159285849XFollow my socials!LinkedInYouTubeInstagramFacebookTikTokTwitchWebsiteEmail

Harnessing the Power of Integrative Energy for a Happier Life

Living a happier life is all about finding balance in our lives. When our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual selves are aligned and in harmony, we can access a kind of integrative energy that can help us create a happier and more fulfilling life. This energy is often found in the small moments of our daily lives – the moments of connection, joy, and love that help us feel alive and connected to ourselves and those around us. We can use this energy to our advantage, and create a life filled with more peace, contentment, and joy.One way to do this is to identify the areas of our lives that are out of balance and take steps to bring them back into alignment.Lauren is an Integrative Energy Practitioner, specializing in EFT/ Tapping to help entrepreneurs reduce stress and increase profits.

Cultivating the Caring Instinct: Practical Advice for Parents

As parents, it is our instinct to want to nurture and care for our children. We want to provide them with the love, support, and guidance they need to thrive in life. But, sometimes it can be difficult to know exactly how to express our care and provide the support they need, especially with ongoing marketing influence on how we should raise our children, deviating us from using our gut to make decisions. This is why it is so important to cultivate our caring instincts and learn practical advice that can help us become more effective parents.There are many ways to do this, from reading books and articles, attending parent seminars, or just taking the time to really listen to our children and understand their needs. Whatever strategies we choose, it is essential to remember that our children are unique individuals with different personalities and needs. Today I connect with Joe Atkinson and Olga Cherrington, hosts of The Caring Instinct Podcast, to uncover why we question ourselves as parents!Find The Caring Instinct:InstagramFacebookSupport GroupConnect with me on my socialsLinkedInYouTubeInstagramFacebookTikTokTwitchWebsiteEmail
