Bob Baker has been my virtual mentor for years. I have never actually met him before, but every morning, I listen to his podcast and let him guide me in speaking affirmations over my life. He is here today to share with us his own journey to embracing affirmations. Positivity had such a huge impact on my own healing, and Bob plays a big part in keeping that going in my daily life.Despite what you might think because of his current gregariousness and big personality, Bob was actually quite shy and insecure as a teen. His junior year of high school, his good friend handed him a book by Wayne Dyre called Your Erroneous Zones. This book opened his eyes to a new world of possibilities. Suddenly, he realized: he could control his own destiny by choosing positive thoughts. He learned that thoughts influence emotions, which influence actions, which influence the direction a life can go. From there, Bob explored meditation, positivity, and spirituality. He saw success in his career and became a coach to other aspiring entertainers. He started a YouTube channel with all kinds of content and found his affirmation videos to be the most popular, so that has become his focus, and he just published a book about it.Bob explained to me why affirmations work. Whatever you allow to be a consistent part of your thinking, that is what you will see in the world. It&#39;s like when you get a new car and you start to notice everyone around you who is driving the same type. It wasn&#39;t in your consciousness before, so you didn&#39;t see it. If you purposely put positivity into your consciousness, you will begin to see it everywhere. That is why you should speak positive words over your day.What do you do when you don’t believe anything positive? Is it all a lie? One suggestion is to reword the affirmation so it is true for you. So, instead of saying, “I am a millionaire,” you can change it to, “I am open and receptive to new streams of income coming into my life.” And when you start your day anticipating new ways of making money, you will see the possibilities around you as possible instead of just dismissing them as impossible. Can’t figure out how to be grateful? Try saying, “I&#39;m open to the idea of understanding gratitude.” If that’s not working for you, either give that affirmation a break and find an easier one, or double down and tell yourself the positive thought repeatedly until you believe it.The most important strategy in having affirmations change your life is consistency. Do them every day. Believe they are possible, even when you can’t see how to get there. Don’t give up. Keep saying them over your life until they manifest because you have been open to their truth.Through this journey of leading people to positive thinking, Bob has accidentally built an online family full of encouragement for its members who are, for the most part, not receiving positivity from their in-person communities.

The Power of Affirmations (Bob Baker)

In 2010, Debbie DeMarco Bennett learned that she had borderline personality disorder, (BPD) was in and out of psychiatric hospitalizations, frequently threatening suicide, unable to keep a job and her relationships were very hot and very cold. Having grown up in the foster care system and being placed in group homes, she worked with her psychiatrist and therapist at the health organization Kaiser, where received her diagnosis of BPD. Her psychiatrist introduced her to Dialectical Behavior Therapy, (DBT), and after she enrolled into treatment, she realized that she was not crazy, but rather, was just someone who felt deeply, intensely, and never really learned how to manage, when difficulty surfaced.DBT is a set of skills that helps people who have difficulty regulating their emotions to be able to learn how to do things in ways that allow them to create what is known as a life worth living and learning how to tolerate distress. It comprises different tools to accomplish this, including a large component of mindfulness, and is geared especially for those that have complex trauma and have difficulty regulating their emotionsAfter 2 years, Debbie was technically classified as "in recovery" and continued the process of rebuilding herself. Debbie discusses her early years in Episode 152 found here: https://hopetorecharge.com/episode/borderline-personality-disorder-the-road-to-recovery-debbie-demarco-bennett/ep152-bpd-road-to-recovery/, which is fascinating.She continued attending DBT for another 5 years and was able to maintain her friendship with someone with whom she had been in a relationship for 10 years. As a milestone, they proudly just celebrated their 20 years of friendship. During her years working with DBT, she felt confident in her ability to heal and was certain that she would find the right person, even setting the table for 2 when she&#39;d make dinner alone, thinking how one day, she won&#39;t be eating alone. Debbie attributes her ability to effectively communicate to the BPD skills she mastered.While going to DBT groups, taking notes and documenting every word of Dr. Marsha Linehan, knowing that healing comes in community, that sharing and realizing you&#39;re not alone and supporting each other, she started a DBT program, despite working a job. Although the initial turnout was low, Debbie pushed forward and as DBT awareness grew, albeit through Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga speaking publicly about it, Debbie started an online platform, Emotionallysensitive.com as a gift to the community. Today, there are students in 44 countries ranging in age from 15 to 80. Enrolled students participate in 12 week-long modules with weekly lecture-style classes, zoom workshops that include mindfulness, DBT skills discussions and somatics. Student have access to a variety of additional resource material, receive guidance from the DBT Path Team and connect with other sharing students in a forum supervised with compassion by a moderator, all with privacy, set boundaries, and guidelines.Emotionallysensitive.com doesn&#39;t just offer sympathy, empathy and understanding through years of experience. It allows students to share and rebuild using the power of the community and acquire DBT skills for life. It isn&#39;t uncommon for new students filled with despair and pain to lash out personally at Debbie, but she often gets apology emails as those students grow and practice their new DBT skills, as time moves on. Debbie often refers partners, parents, siblings and children of those suffering from BPD to psychotherapist Amanda Smith at hopeforbpd.com who runs online groups to help them cope with those stresses and to learn the "language" of BPD.Debbie&#39;s intention, is that people who have been suffering with BPD, who have been cast aside, disregarded or feared, or that people just didn&#39;t know how to support them, are clearly feeling seen, heard, loved and supported in the community.Is DBT right for you?

Borderline Personality Disorder: The Road After Discovery (Debbie DeMarco Bennett)

In this powerful solo episode, we hear a story of a daughter’s disappointment and how her mother makes space for that pain, with love and without judgement. Matana tells us how her daughter so badly wanted to travel abroad for a family wedding but due to covid travel restrictions, was unable to. Like so many facing mild or severe disappointments, regardless of the level of challenge, being there to help another person in pain can be daunting. Simply holding space for them, allows a feeling of empathy to unfold and can help sooth a broken heart. The knowledge that they are not alone can provide comfort and avoid long term trauma by having a guilt free listening ear to help them feel they are not alone in their struggle.Asking a child or loved one what’s wrong isn’t being invasive. When done in earnest, without judgement or rebuke and when coming from a wellspring of kindness and love, allows them to share their feelings in a safe place, not only creating a long and strong bond of friendship and trust.Most of us yearn for a listening ear not only to empathize but to help relieve the burdon that at times, weigh heavily on us. Role modeling empathy to our children is an excellent method of training the next generation to be kinder humans and ultimately, makes us better too.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!If we are important to you, help us out and Leave us a review on iTunes here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-to-recharge/id1464788845It makes a huge difference! —————————————————————————Quotes “We don&#39;t have the answers to fix the pain, but one of the greatest gifts God gave us was the gift of empathy, the gift of sympathy, the gift of holding space for somebody else when someone is in pain or in tragedy” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “Trauma is from the child feeling pain during childhood and not having support or a safe place to share that pain”  @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge“The only way we can really get rid of the pain is by sitting in it” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “I decided that I&#39;m going to listen in order to understand, not in order to respond” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “If your child is suffering in silence, just ask them to share with you what is going on without feeling threatened” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge—————————————————————————Topics Discussed Holding space for other peopleListening to understand, without being threatened by what you might hearListening to understand, without judgingUsing empathy to help others heal—————————————————————————If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

Can Empathy Heal?

For the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I had the privilege of interviewing one of the few people who were inside the building and survived the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. Ari Schonbrun worked on the 101st floor in the accounts receivables department of a stock market firm. Of their 960 employees in that office, only 302 survived. Most of those who lived were not in the office that day.Listen to hear his incredible story of why he got to work late that day, the events that transpired on the 78th floor, how he got out of the building, what his journey home across the city was like after he escaped, and how his life has changed now since it happened.Today, Ari has pulled out of the corporate world and is now solely focused on motivational speaking, life coaching, and growing his podcast, Whispers and Bricks. http://whispersandbrickspodcast.com The name of his show comes from the idea that God is always trying to guide his children with whispers. He&#39;s always there, whispering in our ears, but when we&#39;re not willing to listen, he often resorts to hitting us over the head with a brick. Ari sees 9/11 as a brick in his life. And it changed everything.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge! If we are important to you, help us out and Leave us a review on iTunes.

Surviving 9/11: Perseverance & Rebuilding After Catastrophe (Ari Schonbrun)

We asked Dr. Kobernick to come back (her first episode is here: https://hopetorecharge.com/episode/dialectical-behavior-therapy-dr-chaya-lieba-kobernick/) because I have been getting tons of questions about Radical Acceptance, which is a building block of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I’ve also noticed that our most popular episodes have been those about BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and DBT so, I knew we needed an expert to come in and talk about it some more.Radical acceptance is the most difficult skill to master in DBT. Normally, the best way to go about it is to start with small, immediate problems like burnt food or missing the bus. Once you are able to accept inconveniences like those, you can start working on accepting the more difficult parts of life like trauma or illness.‘Dialectical’ means that there are two things in opposition to each other that simultaneously exist. The major dialectic in DBT is acceptance and change. We can both fully accept the way things are right now and work toward changing ourselves and our situation for a better future, but the acceptance part is not done in order to bring about change. It is done for the parts of life that we cannot necessarily change the outcome ourselves, at least not in this very moment, and we need to accept this moment.Everyone experiences pain. It is inevitable. Suffering, however, is not. When we choose to accept our pain, we can experience freedom instead of suffering. Fighting against what’s happening and focusing on how unfair and unjust it is only leads to misery. We can be sad about our current situation and grieve loss and still accept that it is reality. You’ll know you have accepted a situation when you stop fighting for reality to be different or hiding from what’s happening. Radical acceptance is almost never a one-time decision. After you have chosen to accept something in your reality, you will be reminded of the difficulty of it again and again, and you must choose to accept it every time. It should gradually get easier for each problem.To experience less distress, we need to realize that all emotions are welcome and needed in life. They serve different purposes. Happiness or bliss should not be one’s goal. A happier life includes every emotion at its proper time. The goal of DBT is to build a life worth living, not to feel only happiness.Dr. Kobernick works with teens who have multiple problems and need the support of full DBT treatment. Teen treatment always includes family members because it is almost impossible for a kid to implement the changes needed in their life without the whole family system cooperating or at least one advocate being in the home with them. She works with the kid alone, the kid with their family, and the family alone in order to provide the best support possible.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

DBT & Radical Acceptance Coping Skills (Dr. Chaya Lieba Kobernick)

Two experts in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Drs. Galen and Aguirre, have just released a new book called DBT for Dummies. They are experts in explaining this to average people with no background in psychology. Together, we explore one of the basic tenets of DBT: radical acceptance. I tell clients about this practice all the time, and there&#39;s always so many questions about how it works.Dr. Aguirre shares with me his journey of embracing DBT. He was realizing that he would help his friends or himself feel better in different ways than he would help his clients, and the inconsistency didn&#39;t make sense. The first day he first experienced DBT mindfulness by observing a raisin in his mouth was eye-opening, and as he explored more, he found DBT provided a logic that he had not found other places. He and his colleagues have been amazed to see the transformation in the lives of young DBT clients who have found no hope or help anywhere else. Kids who were once in constant emotional distress and wanting to die have learned how to cope with suffering. Families have learned how to support them and cope with their struggles themselves.Dr. Galen breaks down the process of radical acceptance for us. It starts with acknowledging the reality of our current moment. Once we can accept the facts about our situation, we can begin to pinpoint what is causing problems and come up with solutions for our pain or take steps toward a goal that we have been too afraid to pursue. Accepting what is means releasing what isn’t (usually, a hope, belief, or relationship). This is often quite difficult and leads people to avoid the entire situation rather than embrace and grow from it. Another hiccup is that even after we have accepted something in this moment, we will get triggered into non-acceptance again later by a memory. And when that happens, we must start the process over again. But hopefully, it will be easier after the first time.Almost every person who is learning this concept asks, “But how can I accept that my future is bleak??” That is not what radical acceptance is about. You cannot accept a future that hasn’t happened yet. Anything in the future is simply a fictional story. One of the most important ideas to understand is that we can only accept now. We also cannot change the past. We can only accept the present it has led us to. If we’re worried about a bleak future, the best thing we can do is live in the present and make choices that will hopefully turn our future towards where we want to go. And if we must tell stories about the future, why not positive ones? Negative stories so often lead to self-fulfilling prophecies of doom.—————————————————————————Connect with Gillian Galen & Blaise AguirreNew book: DBT for Dummies: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119730120Blaise’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blaisemd/Gillian’s Email: ggalen@partners.orghttps://www.mcleanhospital.org/profile/gillian-galenhttps://www.mcleanhospital.org/profile/blaise-aguirre—————————————————————————Quotes“You can&#39;t accept a future that hasn&#39;t happened because it hasn&#39;t happened.

Whether you like something or not.” @BlaiseAguirre @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge“The person that I become in non-acceptance is not the person who I want to be.

I&#39;ve lost more than one child. I&#39;ve lost my relationships. I&#39;ve lost my friends.” @BlaiseAguirre @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge“There&#39;s tension there. I can disagree with something.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Dummies (Drs. Galen and Aguirre)

Two years ago, I talked to Dr. Jen about preparing for crises on this episode. About a year after that, Jen met the love of her life while in the midst of a very sudden, very public breakup. Today, she joins me from their honeymoon to speak about her healing journey.Jen shares how her close friends, family and even her own body had been trying to alert her to the unhealthiness of her romantic relationship, but she had not been willing to listen. Even when her intuition said something was not right, she could not find a logical reason to feel that way, so she stayed. She kept hoping it would turn out like she dreamed. It wasn’t until after the relationship ended that she realized most of the problems they were having stemmed from differing core values. It wasn’t that either one of them was a good or bad person at the fundamental level.I asked Jen specifically here today to share with us her secret to not blaming the other person in a broken relationship and not focusing on explaining what they did to cause this pain; but rather to own your own story and keep moving towards healing. The most important thing to realize is, “This has nothing to do with me. This is their story. Those were their choices. And now, I get to choose how I respond to them. And I will act within my core values, even if the other person went totally against them.”Jen was also able to recognize that just because one person had made choices that didn’t align with her values and had hurt her very deeply didn’t mean that everyone in the world would do the same. If she was able to live by her values, that meant that someone else out of 7 billion must be able to live by those values as well. She could find someone different who was actually a good match for her; there was no need to settle for someone who would not connect to her at the core.Jen met her new man dancing at a club at a physical therapy conference. They connected quickly. He has been able to recognize that when she is triggered, it has nothing to do with him. He can focus on supporting her instead of being hurt by her hurt. They are both coming into this relationship knowing that neither of them is perfect, and they need to be willing to work through their frustrating times. Rather than follow conventional wisdom, Jen chose to go into this new relationship with authenticity and honesty. Together, they have quickly bonded and built a business in the midst of a chaotic year.One therapist Jen worked with, encouraged “anger expression”. In an exercise, women were able to acknowledge and express how angry they were feeling and say all the angry words they wished they could say to the person that hurt them. It&#39;s not about hurting the other person or getting revenge; it&#39;s about releasing and expressing one’s emotion. Anger isn’t necessarily a bad emotion; it&#39;s what we do with it that matters. Bottling it up doesn’t help because it is a deep feeling that is there for a reason, and using it to hurt others or focusing on it in a way that drags you down is not good for anyone. The negative energy needs to be released to make space for the positive.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge! if we are important to you, help us out and Leave us a review on iTunes.

Own Your Own Story (Dr. Jen Fit)

We had to bring Naomi back because so many of you reached out asking for more from her! She left us with so many questions after our first episode together. If you haven’t listened to that episode yet, do!! This one will not make much sense if you don’t.Naomi’s original motivators to lose weight did not work in the long term. This was partly because they were all about avoiding something negative, not about gaining a positive (“I want to lose weight so I won’t be judged by strangers” vs “I want to lose weight so I can run around with my children”). The people surrounding her encouraged her to change focus. She calls these people her “team.” This includes not only her friends, colleagues, and family but also podcasters whom she listens to and authors she reads regularly, but has never met.Naomi has developed many new habits over the last three years. The only way she has been successful in any of them is that she made one small change at a time and committed to being consistent at it for a few weeks before adding anything else. And as she saw the benefits of those commitments, they became easier to stick to because she knows how they positively affect her life and the life of her community.Instead of getting caught up in how hard a practice is to do, she focuses on how good it will be to have accomplished it. Our bodies are capable of more than we often give them credit for. If we don’t have a medical condition or disability, there’s no reason we can’t accomplish the same feats someone else has. Even if you do have limitations, there’s often a way around the obstacles. We just have to tell our bodies it is possible. The important thing to remember in all of this is that we always have a choice. We can choose to see what’s positive in our situation. We can choose to accomplish our goals. We can choose to step away from negative influences.A powerful practice Naomi implements is declaring her desires as if they have already come to fruition. Every day, she says them to herself in the mirror. If she has a more short-term goal, she will write it out and say it 50 times every day for up to five days until it becomes her reality. So far, she’s never done this with something that hasn’t happened. It is important to select realistic goals for this practice. Don’t set yourself up for failure. Break up huge goals into smaller steps and do this for each one.Everyone’s path to health looks different. A positive mindset is essential for whatever goals or desires we are chasing, but the practices, communities, and medical interventions we use to embrace positivity and reach our destinations will differ from person to person. We each must give different methods a chance until we find what leads us to peace and health.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge! if we are important to you, help us out and Leave us a review on iTunes.

Mindset 101: Ignore Negativity & Set Goals

There has been a lot of talk on social media about the Netflix show My Unorthodox Life these last couple weeks, and it has brought up a lot of different emotions for me. I thought I had healed from my upbringing, but I have found that I am still broken. After listening to others express their feelings for several days, I wanted to share how it has made me feel and what I have learned from this experience.  My authentic self doesn’t necessarily fit anywhere. I felt attacked by both sides of the argument because I follow Orthodox Judaism, but I don’t always hold up the traditions or view things as expected. There is a tremendous price to pay for living your authentic self in a community where you are rebuked for even thinking differently from the standard. But the price you pay for abandoning your authentic self is even greater than the risk of losing your community. These last couple weeks brought up a lot of hurt from the past and made me feel threatened all over again, but it also emphasized what a great community I have built as my authentic self of people who will listen to me without judging and offer their support. I am so grateful to those that have been helping me process this pain. My emotions emphasized the ways I might be judging and hurting others. The things I was hurt by are a good indicator of how I cause pain, and I have begun to work through how I can do better. How can I have compassion towards all these people who are reacting out of fear? If we can go through life and not judge others, but listen to understand, maybe our world can become a more accepting place. If we each make an effort to not suffocate our own authentic selves or those around us, perhaps people will feel less afraid. We each must try to be the person others feel comfortable sharing their deepest feelings and thoughts with, even if those thoughts do not agree with what is true for us personally.

Finding My Orthodox Authenticity (Solo)

What is intuitive eating and what is the mindset behind intuitive eating? What’s the difference between a registered dietician and a nutritionist? Gila Glassberg, an MS, RDN, CDN, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, answers these questions and more. Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, developed a system called intuitive eating which consists of 10 steps. People placed on what they’d call “sensible meal plans” are really diets. What they found was that people would inevitably, they would lose the weight, but they would inevitably gain back the weight within a few months or a few years and they were feeling really frustrated. In fact, most people who lose weight on a diet, gain it back within the first five years. With intuitive eating, you eventually do want to focus on nutrition and what’s called joyful movement, which is finding the movement that feels right to you, without feeling restricted. The first principle of intuitive eating is called rejecting the diet mentality. Another is honoring your hunger. Gila walks us through the steps and tools on how to be aware to choose the foods that are good for us and feel good about the choices we are making to help us and navigate through life. Intuitive eating is good for our mental state, our physical state, our relationships, our emotional well being and so much more which goes from the inside out and puts out all kinds of fires.

Improving Mental Health With Intuitive Eating (Gila Glassberg)

Today, my new friend Naomi shares with us the story of how she lost half her body weight. At her heaviest, she was nearly 340 pounds, but today, she weighs about 160. She is active and able to keep up with her five-year-old twin boys, something she could not do when they were two. After struggling with her weight for her entire life, dealing with thyroid issues, and a period of infertility, Naomi has come to a place where she feels healthy and whole. Naomi said something to me that blew my mind. I mentioned that what we choose to put into our bodies and how we exercise will affect our mental health. She replied back to me saying, “and vice versa.” which is truly paramount and so true. When we feel  emotionally low or having a “bad” day, we often mistreat our bodies due to our unfocused mindset. If the chemicals in our brain are not balanced, our bodies actually process foods differently. As strange as it sounds, if you’re having a bad day and eat some chocolate, you’re likely to gain more weight than you would if you ate that very same chocolate as a happy treat on a “good” day. Naomi also shared her morning routine with me, starting at 4:30 each morning and she watches this gratitude practice with Tony Robbins. She then listens to and repeats 100 affirmations. She journals and reads before exercising for a half hour, plus a walk if her family is still asleep. After the kids get off to school, Naomi drinks 2 liters of water and takes her supplements. She doesn’t eat anything until some oatmeal or a smoothie at 11am. She makes sure to eat plenty of vegetables and protein and to drink lots of water, every day, with no excuses. Even during government imposed lock down due to Corona Virus restrictions, Naomi found a way to walk a 5k indoors. Each day starts with boosting her mental health and getting her in a positive mindset before she even tries to take care of her physical body or any other member of her family.

Positive Mindset Affects Our Physical Health (Naomi Pelled)

Atara Weisberger is an expert on the connection between our mental and physical health. She coaches people to improve their lives through nutrition and movement. She shares her experience with coaching health and wellness, how to recognize and choose to change negative habits, and the mental health benefits of a good diet and exercise. Atara helped me with my own struggle to eat healthy food before dinnertime, asking what values were driving my desire to stop eating cake in the afternoons. I know how interconnected physical and mental health are, and I need to make good choices for both in order to feel my best overall. I know there are long-term implications of poor daily choices, and I want to help my future self thrive, as I work to give my family the best at dinner every night. She suggested I change my mindset, so that I don&#39;t feel obligated to give up the foods that bring me so much joy, but choose instead to add something which I know will make my body feel good, versus the yummy snack that I enjoy more.  Everything in our bodies, including our minds, is intertwined. Nutritious food provides us with energy and the ability to focus so that we can accomplish what we need to. Exercise has been proven to release hormones in the brain that make us feel good emotionally. Yet, when someone is feeling unhappy, the current model tells doctors to immediately prescribe them strong medications before providing them with strategies to solve the issue with their own body. Why don&#39;t they prescribe a trial of an exercise regimen for 30 days the same way they do with drugs? It is possible to eat a safe and healthy diet while on a budget and there are certain foods that do not need to be purchased organically. There are even foods that should just be avoided altogether. For a little homework, search for the lists she discusses in this eye opening episode to find out which foods have the most chemicals.

And the reality is, there&#39;s nothing in us that is separate.” @AtaraWeisberger @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “What you want to ask yourself is why: Why is that important to me? And the why becomes your anchor. Because if you just layer a behavior on top of the rest of your life, then any small thing that comes along can just kind of knock it off, whatever your goals are, if they&#39;re sitting on that surface level of just, I think, or I should.” @AtaraWeisberger @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “It&#39;s funny when clients will be like, just tell me what to do.

The Body-Mind Connection (Atara Weisberger)

The power of manifesting one&#39;s dreams, goals and hopes into reality isn&#39;t magic. Its a power. So powerful is this gift, called the Law of Attraction that we receive from God, which we all have, that we can receive abundance and blessings to move forward on our paths of want. What we want can be manifested into reality and tapping into this power requires a few simple steps. One must first realize that we all possess this God given, God created ability, which is as real as the force of gravity. Sometimes, God only gifts our wishes to us when he believes that we are ready. Sometimes, he gifts us with so much better. But we are always in the position of asking, visualizing and living with a more open heart. We also must identify what we actually want. Focus on it, think of it as if it is real. See the details in your mind&#39;s eye. Finally, we must also be passionate about it. Let it consume us in a healthy way and the pathways will open. First a trickle, then a stream, and then the floodgates will open. This energy is real. We often call the moments we become aware our wishes have been fulfilled miracles. And they are. Join us in hearing a personal event from Matana&#39;s life, highlighting this amazing power.

Manifest Your Dreams Into reality (Solo)

We asked nutritionist, biochemist, and holistic health expert Nilli Grutman to talk a bit about the link between our physical health, mental health, and nutrition. She shared with us her philosophy about nutrition and how to approach eating well with an energy of giving rather than an energy of withholding.  Nilli has spent the past seven years healing and guiding people with holistic nutrition. She seeks to restore her clients to a state of wellness by exploring the physical causes behind emotional imbalance. She detailed her process for us, starting with identifying hormone and neurochemical imbalances through advanced testing and ending with a love-filled approach to fueling our bodies.  Her lesson for us today included an explanation of the four primary neurochemicals at work in our minds, how to identify an imbalance, and how to approach solving that imbalance. She outlined how she crafts each person’s path to wellness by blending wholesome nutrition and eating mindfully.  We hope this conversation will give you the tools to examine your relationship with eating and how it can impact your overall health. Holistic nutrition is not just a fix for a problem, but a part of every person’s total wellness!  Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge! if we are important to you, help us out and Leave us a review on iTunes.

Feeding the Body to Fuel the Mind (Nilli Grutman)

Sometime, we are beset with fear, panic, anxiety, unhappiness or other negative feelings. In this episode, Matana explains how mindset and proper preconditioning can offset negative emotions, but still hold on to them, in the right way. Learning that a teen who blossoms into an adult will be off to higher education away from home can be daunting and downright sad. Learning to cope with a family member who moves on to new things is exciting, and a thing of joy, but can also be laden with mixed emotions of sadness at leaving the presence of a family staple. We learn a new twist on a previously discussed idea, of how to not ignore those mixed, opposite feelings, but to embrace them and allow them to coexist. Matana also sheds a little more detail on the upcoming private gratefulness retreat that she will be hosting for a small group of hand selected individuals, another milestone she set years ago, of which more details will follow in the coming weeks and months ahead.
