152 | Cleaning Up The Mental Mess (P2)

WITH DR. CAROLINE LEAF

 
“You don’t need a disease label to validate what you are going through. If you’re human and you are, and if you’re alive and you are then you are a mental mess which is inevitable. We don’t know how to react perfectly to every situation. It’s very experimental. ”
— Dr. Caroline Leaf
 

About This Episode:

So often our responses to life circumstances stem from what we believe to be true about those circumstances. And if those responses are seen through the lens of trauma and crisis then it can cause us to lose hope quickly.

That is why it is so important to have a mind management system in place to help you embrace, process and re-conceptualize what you are thinking feeling, and choosing.

Today on the podcast we are continuing with part two of the conversation with Dr. Caroline Leaf.

Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology.

She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain to succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university, and the workplace. Dr. Leaf is also the bestselling author of Switch on Your Brain, Think Learn Succeed, Think and Eat Yourself Smart, and many more.

117 | Living Out Your Moment of Courage

WITH TANIA KOLESNIK

“Courage can only help you flourish if you are ridding yourself of ego or negative self-talk that would tell you that you can’t do it. ”
— Tania Kolesnik
 

About This Episode:

Our most innovative ideas are often born in times of adversity. During seasons in life when we feel that everything is chaotic and out of control. It’s only when we’ve come to the end of ourselves that we’re able to let go and surrender to the process. This year (2020) has been fraught with uncertainty and chaos. Courage finds you when you’re in the depths on your worst day.

In November 2017 we released EP 017 Courage Found Me With Tania Kolesnik. We’ve decided that the message is timely for today and we wanted to re-release the episode in light of our current circumstances. This is when we need courage most. 

Tania Kolesnik proudly lives in Prince Edward County, Ontario where she un-schools her two children, Henri & Magnolia. Tania has been blogging for just over 9 years & her feed is full of her strong messages highlighting the importance of mental health, body positivity & all-around women’s empowerment.

With a zest for self-love & abundant personal growth, Tania is a unique voice who doesn’t shy away from embracing challenges while applying what she’s learned to be fearless in her creative endeavors. She, alongside her husband Dustin, are true entrepreneurs who dare to live life unconventionally with their family, gratitude & a push to inspire others at the core of what they do. They’re currently working hard to expand their business with many new projects in the work & are looking forward to seeing what the next few years have in store for their family.

In this episode:

Life is not always as we think it will be. It’s definitely not perfect even if others perceive it to be. I’m excited to share my conversation with Hannah Marks with you because it will inspire you to live your life to the fullest no matter what comes your way.

Her second born was only a few weeks old when she passed out after feeding. Her skin was ashy and grey and Hannah knew that something was just not right with her baby girl London Elizabeth. The news she got from the doctor was scary and unbelievable. If London didn’t have heart surgery immediately she would not last through the night. Within moments everything changed for Hannah and her husband Robbie.

Hannah Marks is an independent sales director with a skin care and cosmetics direct sales company, leading women for 15 years. She has been married to Robbie for 16 years and they have two beautiful children, Will 9 and London Elizabeth 4. Originally from Great Britain, Hannah recently became an American Citizen but still enjoys all things British! Hannah’s main goal in life is to watch others, especially women become all that God created to be!

Get ready to be inspired to dream bigger dreams for your life. Today on The Couragecast I’m chatting with mother daughter duo — Darlene & Hannah Chantee Van Herten.

At three years of age, Hannah knew she wanted to make people happy and entertain them on big screen. At the age of thirteen Hannah has graced the runway, and been on an impressive roster of movies.

But more than possessing enormous talent for her age, Hannah is wise beyond her years. In this episode I chat with Hannah about her journey as a child actor.

And if thats not enough, I also talk with Darlene about how what it’s been like to raise her kids in the arts while pursuing her own dreams.

In today's episode, I have the pleasure of talking with Nesh Pillay about equality through empathy and how we can start to address issues of race, gender and age equality as female entrepreneurs. 

Nesh Pillay is the founder of Press Pillay - a socially-conscious digital marketing agency based in Toronto. Press Pillay offers an array of services for growing lifestyle tech brands. She is committed to becoming the Robin Hood of Marketing by taking from the rich and giving to the poor - or in her case, redistributing 10% of all her agency’s income toward making the world a better place.
