221. Maria Dennis - Life Before Social Media, Challenging Decisions By Algorithms, Reintegration with the Earth, Indigenous Cultures and Feeding the Light

From an early age I had a deep affinity with the natural world. I was often described as weird, but it was my maverick nature that made me a high impact Management Consultant and Coach. I was a classic case of being highly functional on the outside while my inner world was in turmoil. This manifested throughout my life as 'depression', 'anxiety', 'panic attacks' and suicide, two breakdowns and what I can only describe as a complete unravelling. I committed to embrace the opportunity this presented for spiritual growth, deep personal transformation, and healing, entirely outside the medical model of mental health. As a natural disruptor and mirroring my own journey to the soul through suffering, rather than joining the chorus of voices chiming the medical model of mental health, I looked beyond this, to the deeper meaning. I learned that behind all inner turmoil is a profound yearning for a feeling of mastery, mastery of how we feel, despite what it is going on around us or within us, of our true self . I discovered and that the secret to this mastery is your heart not your mind. I believe passionately that we need to radically shift the current paradigm of mental health to one that empowers people toward heart centred inner fitness, to give us the psychological capacity we need to live in the complex, volatile and challenging world that we have created. I provide ZaZegga, a well being app for businesses, that teaches heart centred inner fitness. I also have a coaching practise and run ZaZegga as an exclusive 1-2-1 programme for a few people each year, that is a deep experience that leads to mastery of your inner world.  www.subscribepage.com/zazegga  www.mariadennis.com www.linkedin.com/in/mariadennis Music Credit: Strobotone - San Fran Interlude
