Monica joins us for a session where we discuss Dialectic Behavioral Therapy.

Raina Otoun takes us through the difficult path of sharing our stories without losing ourselves. It is personal and intentional. We are talking about how to share lived experiences in ways that are meaningful, professional, and yet emotionally safe as well.

Walking us through a different culture with compassion and clarity, we’re honored to have Michelle Berger joining us. She works for her tribal higher education department and is a student of Ojibwe Language and Federal Indian Policy. We discuss her culture, the clash of cultures, and how we can be allies, instead of enemies.

We dive into a topic that is important, eye-opening, and often misunderstood:Neurodiversity. Joining us is Sierra Grandy, she is a neurodiversity educator, disability rights advocate, mental health keynote speaker, attorney, and founder of Questify Your Life LLC – a Multimedia Storytelling Studio & Creative Guild. Sierra helps organizations build workplaces and communities where every mind has a chance to thrive.

Today’s program focuses on “Quieting the Noise: How to Slow Down a Busy Mind” so, if your thoughts have been doing the absolute most lately, this episode is for you. We discuss overthinking, racing thoughts, Imagining worst-case scenarios, stress about things you can’t control, or just… feeling overstimulated. Fair warning, we also discuss darker thoughts.
