The Revolutionized Mind

Happy Friday! If you're also feeling overwhelmed right now, you're definitely not alone. Hopefully, you're taking some time for yourself by choosing to listen to this podcast episode today! This week on TRM, we are joined by Health Coach and Yoga Therapist, Aimee Huffman. In this episode, Aimee tells us all about yoga therapy. We discuss what it is, how it can be used, and what the benefits are. She explains how “yoga as therapy” can be used as a tool to explore your body, take care of your mental health, and balance your nervous system. I learned so much about finding different ways to holistically heal and I absolutely loved it! As someone who’s a go-getter and has a hard time slowing down, this approach feels very relevant to me.

After taking a short, unplanned hiatus, I'M BACK!! I am so excited to have Ryan back on the show. This was my first ever in-person podcast recording, and we had a lot of fun, while also talking about many important things. We discussed everything from politics to human rights to activism to women's safety to men's mental health and so much more. This episode discusses real-world issues from an honest, practical, and progressive perspective. Ryan shares a ton of personal experiences, offers new ways of thinking about things, and just provides great insights that I know will positively impact those who are listening. I believe this conversation is truly powerful, informative, and eye-opening, so I really hope there are several things that you can take away after listening.

This week on TRM, we are joined by Mindset Coach and Entrepreneur, Kevin Boucher! In this episode, Kevin talks about how his mental health journey influenced his coaching career. After running two successful businesses and “having everything”, he found himself in a really dark headspace where he didn’t know what to do next. His relationships were suffering, he couldn’t identify his purpose in the world, and he started asking himself some really big questions. After going through a health scare and spending time alone throughout the pandemic, he was introduced to the world of coaching and finally started to feel motivated again. He was able to improve his own mindset and begin helping others to do the same. Kevin’s story highlights the true power of vulnerability, authenticity, and self-love. This conversation is super inspiring and relatable, and I hope there's a thing or two that you can take away and apply to your own life!

Happy sunny Friday! This week on TRM, we are joined by Certified Nutrition Specialist, Abby King. In this episode, Abby tells us all about the gut-brain connection. She explains how the food that we eat, our eating habits, and our mentality around food all have a direct impact on our gut and brain health. Abby takes a holistic and personalized approach in her work and that really shows in this episode. She emphasizes the importance of nervous system regulation, finding a balanced diet that works for you, and using evidence-based practice as a guide, not the “be-all end-all”. Abby also introduces some foods that have been scientifically proven to improve mental health symptoms (how cool)! This conversation is very informative, practical, and relevant for anyone who eats food!

Happy long weekend! Today, we are joined by CEO, Public Speaker, Executive and Solopreneur Coach, Author, and Award-Winning Entrepreneur, Hilary DeCesare from The ReLaunch Co! In this episode, Hilary talks about how her own personal life “relaunches” have put her in the position that she’s in today. Through remaining curious and having an innate desire to succeed, Hilary has learned a lot about the relationship between neuroscience and business. She explains her 3HQ (head, heart, and higher self) process, how we can truly “tune in” to what we want to achieve, and she also provides great insight into why we need to get out of our own way. She actually coaches me through one of her strategies (I loved this!) and emphasizes how important it is to lean into your own transformation. This episode is great for any high-achievers, business owners, and/or anyone looking to change their career path! I had so much fun connecting with Hilary and learned a whole lot about mindset in business.

This week on The Revolutionized Mind, we are joined by Canadian Sports Broadcaster, Mental Health Speaker, and Founder of Sick Not Weak, Michael Landsberg! I am so grateful that I got the chance to sit down with someone that I listened to on the radio growing up (fangirl moment). In this episode, Michael talks about his experience with depression, the impacts of talking about mental illness publicly, and why he ultimately decided to start a Charitable Foundation. Michael is extremely passionate and honest when it comes to changing the conversation around mental health. He shares lots of personal stories to highlight how important it is to talk about these things and the positive effects it can have on those who are struggling. Michael helps others feel less alone in their mental illness journeys and creates a safe space for people to open up about what they are going through. Trigger warning: this episode discusses self-harm and suicide. This conversation is so impactful, in my unbiased opinion, and I really hope you’re able to take something away from listening today!

Happy first week of Spring! This week on TRM, we are joined by PTSD & Trauma Expert, Psychotherapist, CEO, and Clinical Director, Joelle Maletis. In this episode, Joelle explains the concept of post-traumatic growth, which is all about learning how to live your life after trauma. Her approach is extremely authentic and genuine, highlighting that sometimes things just suck, and that's okay. However, it's also important that we learn to move forward in a meaningful way so, she talks about the importance of developing resiliency skills. She references the mind-body-soul connection (which we all know I love) and provides both clinical and practical ways that we can use these things in our everyday lives. Joelle has a big focus on balance and fulfillment in her work, and she does this by meeting her clients where they are at before taking them in any direction they might be uncomfortable with. This conversation is super relevant and insightful, and I truly learned a lot!

Happy Friday beautiful people! How are you doing these days? Join me for a little mental health check-in before listening to this week's episode. Today, we are joined by Hypnotherapist, Social Worker, and Coach, Elena Theofilatos. After struggling with anxiety for most of her life, she became passionate about understanding how our anxious thoughts are connected to our habits. She explains how anxiety can be viewed as a habit loop and how we can use this mentality to actually reframe the way we both view and respond to anxiety. Elena also describes what hypnotherapy is all about and how it can be used as a tool to support healing. Additionally, she breaks down some common myths about the practice and emphasizes that it is not at all like what we see in the media. Elena shares lots of personal stories and real-life examples to make this information more digestible and relatable! I learned so much from this conversation and I really hope you do too.

Happy Friday! This week on The Revolutionized Mind, we are joined by Alexia who is an Auntie, Community Helper, Indigenous Advocate, Writer, and Dreamer. In this episode, we talk all about Indigenous mental health and well-being. Alexia shares some of the ways that colonial systems have impacted Indigenous folks’ ability to thrive in Canada, the importance of having sovereignty over wellness, and how we can all actively work towards reconciliation on both an individual and systemic level. She also highlights the effects of intergenerational trauma, explains why it’s crucial to move away from a monolithic approach in the mental health space, provides several practical ways that we can support/raise Indigenous voices in our everyday lives, and so much more! This conversation is complex, layered, and uncomfortable at times, but it is so necessary to educate ourselves on the ongoing injustices that exist in our country and learn how we can use our positions of privilege and power to better support Indigenous peoples across Canada.

Check out our sponsor: Mental Health Declassified :) Land Acknowledgment: I wish to acknowledge that the entire country of Canada resides on traditional, unceded, or treaty lands of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people. I strongly believe in the importance of this acknowledgment, so I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the privileges that we hold today in living and working on these lands. Currently, I am in Newmarket, Ontario which is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. This area of land is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. As a guest and settler on these lands, it is my duty to unlearn inherent colonial systems, actively work towards reconciliation, and to raise Indigenous voices whenever I can.
