715. 40 Conversations to Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. Corey Yeager
Hey Heal Squad, we have a great throwback episode with psychotherapist and author Dr. Yeager. I'm all about life hacks – especially ones centering on life improvement, particularly in the area of mental health. Therefore, I love this episode and Dr. Yeager's book, "How Am I Doing? 40 Conversations You Have to Have with Yourself." Dr. Yeager guides us through embracing discomfort as a springboard for personal evolution, and he asks a pivotal question: Who's the most important person in your life? Buckle up for enlightening discussions on energy management, the art of setting boundaries, and the transformative power of positive self-talk. We chat about the power of self-prioritization and crafting intentional living. At the same time, we unpack guilt's complexities and the gift of boundaries, illustrating how they shape our well-being and how to reframe negative self-talk into affirmations for self-compassion. He also covers viewing setbacks as opportunities and breaking free from limiting beliefs.

Embracing Discomfort for Personal Growth: stepping outside our comfort zones as a catalyst for growth.
Managing Your Energy Budget: how to allocate our energy to what truly matters.
The Gift of Saying No: the art of setting healthy boundaries without guilt, creating space for personal well-being and growth.
Understanding Guilt and Its Complexity: insights into managing and learning from this powerful emotion.

Hey Heal Squad, get ready to heal, transform and grow through the power of vulnerability and surrender with Heal Squad All Stars Lewis Howes, Annie Lamott and Vishen Lakhiani. We discuss equating surrender with weakness - which I was guilty of until I learned to embrace the power of vulnerability. We also discuss confronting suppressed memories, particularly around sexual abuse, and the scarcity of representation, struggles with self-abandonment and repetitive relationship patterns, engaging in an inner dialogue with our younger selves to unveil deep wounds, and empowering commitments to radical self-love and authenticity. The episode also explores the enriching experiences of cultural diversity during travels, spreading hope and empathy, lessons learned from engaging with older adults and the significance of sharing love and acts of service. If you seek inner peace and meaning, this Heal Squad All Stars is a must! Vishen Lakhiani

Shifting Focus from Receiving to Giving: fulfillment comes from what is given.
Honoring the Elderly: connecting with and learning from them provides insights to enrich life.
Spreading Hope: being a source of hope for others creates a collective atmosphere of optimism, thereby reinforcing the shared hope.
Lewis Howes
Power of Vulnerability: the concept of vulnerability as transformative begins the journey.
Challenging False Confidence: false confidence and ego-driven behaviors are defense mechanisms born from past traumas and the need to appear tough and competent.

Hey, Heal Squad! We hear so much about gut health today and, as you'll hear on today's show, there's a good reason. Gut health vastly affects both our physical health and mental health from rashes and autoimmune diseases to depression and moods.

We'll uncover how probiotics, the "messenger bacteria," support essential communication between our gut and brain. We discuss how toxins like pesticides and antibiotics compromise gut health, diarrhea, gas, and constipation indicate and even debunk some myths about probiotics. In a world filled with gut-disrupting stressors and chemicals, whether you buy Tina's products or not, this really is a must listen.
