87 - Healing: herpes really can be no big deal ft. Bek Antonucci
Could an STI be your ultimate permission slip for healing and changing your life for the better? Bek Antonucci would say yes, 100%. In this episode, Louise interviews the incredible Bek Antonucci about how her experience with herpes was the most healing thing that ever happened to her.
Bek helps listeners understand:
✨ STIs are no big deal to some, and a huge deal to others - and WHY that is
✨ how to go beneath the iceberg of shame and stigma to identify your core wounds
✨ the concept of warmth vs. coldness, connection vs. isolation; and
✨ why she thinks that this is the least vulnerable thing about her

84 - Trauma, stress, anxiety + depression
Today, we take your therapy journey deeper into the mind-body connection and explore how stress, trauma, and our subconscious mind can affect our physical health in ways we may not have even realized. If you struggle with anxiety or depression, or are trying to help someone who does, this episode is a must-listen for you.
Louise Rumball is joined by guest, Sarah Murphy, as the two dive into how and why:
⠀ Some people are naturally more sensitive than others, both to pain and to emotions
⠀ Trauma, and childhood stress, can impact the cellular functioning of our body, our brain chemistry and hormonal systems (leading to adverse health effects later in life)
⠀ The subconscious mind is like a hard drive where the body stores overwhelming energy.
⠀ A major trauma or life crisis can tip the scales and cause the subconscious mind to show up in the body, leading to the manifestation of health issues.
⠀ How dysregulated hormones, impacted neurotransmitters, and our HPA axis can can lead to mental illness, anxiety, and other health issues
⠀ You might be living, tolerating and thriving in 'high stress situations' thinking they are normal
Louise also shares her experience with the manifestations of emotions in her body and what she has learned from her own personal experience.
