If this sounds interesting, you've found the right space. I'm joined by a delightful guest, Nid Ra, who specializes in helping others tune into their true path with clarity, wisdom, and grace.

Do you find yourself giving in to others or letting go of your boundaries just to feel loved, included, or accepted? If this sounds familiar, take heart; it's an extremely common issue. Healthy boundaries are essential for healthy relationships, but it's often tough to create and enforce strong boundaries –especially if they weren't modeled in your early years. In today's episode, I'm joined by a powerful relationship expert, Dr. Margaret Cochran, who will help us navigate the connection between boundaries, cognitive distortions, and getting unstuck from patterns that hold you back. Topics discussed include healthy boundaries, porous boundaries, family dynamics, holiday gatherings, negative patterns, intergenerational patterns, neurobiology, cognitive distortions, psychological boundaries, getting unstuck, marriage, children, personal transformation, individuation, and family issues.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

How to Tune into the Power of Your Intuition, Creativity, and ImaginationDo you ever feel like your instinct – or some sense of deep knowing and natural wisdom – is giving you information that your rational mind tells you is illogical or wrong? Or perhaps you've been told by a partner, friend, or family member that your choices aren't as analytical as they ought to be. In fact, we're often reminded that we should be logical – that we should follow whatever the rational brain tells us to do. And in today's highly left-brain world, it's easy to believe that we should discount our intuition and the callings of the creative mind. Yet from my personal and clinical experience, I've found that there's untold power in discovering the gifts of knowing that are beyond the rational mind. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Kim Hermanson, a renowned educator, author, and psychologist, who will guide us into the realm of tuning into the extraordinary world of the non-linear mind. Topics discussed include imagination, instinct, metaphors, dreams, rational mind, intuition, feminine energy, masculine energy, balance, intuitive, deep knowing, relationships, empowerment, and self-awareness.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.
