Psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Giroux joins Bronwyn in a rejection of the conventional,  masculine-driven understanding of therapy, based solely on objective metrics, for an embodied and integrated approach. We discuss how to listen to the body, and what it might be communicating during menopause. Caroline allows Bronwyn to lead her in two powerful integration exercises, modeling for listeners.

Bronwyn speaks with Alecia Jacobson, host of the Spirit of a Badass podcast, about the nuances of anger and how forgiveness factors in.

Discern the difference between being nice and being kind, and how healing childhood shame enables true embodied kindness. Kind people feel anger at unkindness and address it, making the world a safer place for everyone.

This is a fascinating conversation with Dr. Derrick Hines, Physical Therapist and host of The Pain & Performance Podcast. We discuss the intersection of mental and physical health – overcoming the false distinction created by Western culture, as well as the role of HOPE in healing.
