Ep. 19 The Choice of Suffering

Going the Distance: Keys to a Successful Long-Lasting Relationship

It is one thing to have a long-lasting relationship, but it is another thing to have a successful and happy long lasting relationship. Whether it be in our families,  our friends, on social media we see that you can have a toxic long-lasting relationship. What I wanted to talk about on today’s episode is how to have a HAPPY long-lasting relationship. Every relationship has its ups and downs and no relationship is perfect, but I’d like to think that if you both put in the work, you will achieve great results. Today, I talk to Keana W. Mitchell. Keana is a relationship Coach and podcaster about the ups and downs of relationships and how to persevere.  Contact info for Keana:  IG:anaekmusic Website: https://keanawmitchell.club/   Podcast: Finding God

Getting Real About the Struggle of Addiction

This is the first episode of 2023! I took some time away because I was traveling and dealing with illness and family stuff. But I am recharged and back providing more content. Before we get into the episode, I want to tell you about a course that I am offering called Beautifully Authentic:Vision to Reality. Do you want to live in alignment with who you really are? Do you have dreams, but are scared to act on them? Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone, face your fears and live your authentic life? Then this course is for you! It goes live on January 15th ( Oops! The recording says the 23rd, it will be released on the 15th). Click on the link in the show notes to learn more. Today’s episode topic is a topic I wanted to touch on for a while, but wanted to make sure I had the right person to lead the conversation. The topic is Addiction. Addiction and Authenticity cannot co-exist. Whether we are the ones who struggle with addiction or have loved ones struggling with addiction, addiction can affect our lives in major ways and rob us of the life we desire. 15.4% of adults in the US struggle with substance abuse each year, this is 39 million people. In this episode, I discuss addiction with Dr. Mei-Li Hennen and we discuss the anatomy and struggle of addiction, the affects, the roles we play in addiction, and how to overcome. Dr. Hennen holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology with over 15 years of experience in the addiction and mental health field.  She currently helps people live transformative lives with purpose and meaning.  She is the host of the Recovery Plus Podcast and founder of Red Door Coaching and Consulting.

Healing from Burnout and Toxic Environments

Welcome back to Season 2 of Beautifully Authentic.  We are back with more content and I am looking forward to you hearing this episode. Burnout keeps us from living a quality life and the effects of burnout can manifest in our body, in our mind and spirit. . I did some research and found some alarming statistics. * Burnout affects about 70% of employees * Millennials are the most burned-out generation, with 59% experiencing some symptoms of burnout. * 36% of employees admit their organizations are doing nothing to prevent burnout I recently connected with Monika Martin to discuss her experience with burnout, how it affected her, and how she overcame . Monika is a life transformation coach, a motivator, and an intuitive healer. She overcame c-PTSD and burnout after many years of suffering from severe childhood trauma, crippling anxiety, terrible panic attacks, and debilitating chronic pain. She now feels happier, and healthier, and she is more in tune with herself, embracing her truth and embodying her flow. She empowers women to find themselves & their happiness to live a purpose and passion driven life.
