In this episode, I am joined by my dear friend Elle Perriam. Elle grew up in a small West Coast farming town in the South Island; when her partner took his own life at the time. This tragedy led her to use her grief to fuel her fire and find the Will to Live Charity.Elle is a second-year Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine Student, Yoga Teacher.In this episode, we discuss:Please note- trigger warning, this episode speaks of suicide.
- Our stories and personal journey around mental health and healing on a multi-dimensional level.
- Losing loved ones to suicide and how this became a catalyst + fuel to the fire to make something of the grief to help be of service to others
- Learning to trust ourselves + with that comes learning to celebrate every win
- How to find joy in doing things we love, which ultimately brings us into the present moment.
- Tools to keep the mind + body in homeostasis
- The Dark Knight of the Soul, the breakdown, the rebirth of ourselves individually + the importance of using healing holistically to rebalance.
- Understanding that hitting rock bottom is one of the greatest gifts
- The interconnectedness of the body + the mind
- Nervous system regulation + breaking it down simplistically
- The importance of feeling emotions, as the old saying goes-feel it to heal it. The freedom, clarity, direction, purpose + ultimately liberation that's experienced on the other side of facing your pain.
And SOOOO much more! Frothing about this one!
