Boundaries: To hold each other we must hold ourselves

January 21, 2024 18:00 - 30 minutes - 69.8 MB

Description:  As children, our need for connection can override our impulse to be true to our authentic selves. But in adulthood we can choose our relationships and the boundaries that govern them. With this freedom comes the responsibility to balance our needs for attachment and authenticity with the health and well-being of ourselves and others. We may want to be generous with our time and energy, but if we give too much we risk depleting ourselves and creating dependence in othe...

Community, Culture & Spirituality: Finding the Connection to What is Bigger Than Ourselves

March 22, 2022 19:47 - 44 minutes - 101 MB

In this episode, we explore the idea that collective trauma requires collective healing.  As co-host Briana Matrious so aptly puts it, “The most powerful healing that has happened in my life has been in community with one another.”  We explore what that means for us as individuals—both personally and professionally – as we move through these current times together.      Take our survey!

March 22, 2022 19:45 - 34 minutes - 79.2 MB

Now that you’ve listened t...

March 22, 2022 19:43 - 36 minutes - 82.5 MB

In this episode, we explore how from the lens of mainstream society, the idea of self-care can be off-putting.  It is only when we slow down and see things through an alternate perspective, reminding ourselves that taking care of ourselves is where we can better care for others more effectively, that’s where we are reminded to extend grace to each other (and extend it to ourselves!) in a good way. When we can care for ourselves well, we can care for each other even better.   This is...

January 28, 2022 00:19 - 29 minutes - 66.9 MB

In this episode, Dr. Tafur continues to guide us as we explore the neurobiological response to stress and our natural responses as we realize how dysregulation can manifest as extreme dis-ease as we recognize how chronic stress and trauma can show up as disturbance in our lives.  We must learn to accept and communicate that this isn’t only “in our head” rather a symptom of greater problems that must be addressed on multiple levels, should we want to heal fully.  Take our survey!
