Ever wondered how joy and community interplay to bring out the best in us? Join me, Nat Nat, on this episode of the Lift One Self podcast, where we break down mental health stigmas through heartfelt conversations. I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Trudy Ann Fraser, a dentist with a passion for wellness, and Marya Kazmi , known as Brown Girl Interrupting, who shares her powerful journey of self-discovery after a challenging marriage. We kick things off with a grounding meditation, setting the stage for a rich dialogue on trauma, self-care, and personal growth.

Experience the magic of authentic self-expression through movement as we discuss the therapeutic benefits of dance. Dr Frazer reflects on her first Instagram Live with a young choreographer, where they unravel how moving with confidence can foster joy and mental well-being. Dr. Fraser shares her own path to joy through community and travel, while we collectively emphasize the necessity of journaling and disconnecting from life's distractions to connect deeply with ourselves. Together, we explore how grounding oneself can help navigate significant life changes.

Dive into the emotional labyrinth of anger, sadness, and fear, as we reveal how these emotions often mask deeper vulnerabilities. Through personal stories and insights from therapy, we discuss strategies to manage these intense feelings. The challenges of motherhood take center stage as we explore the emotional hurdles of asking for help, dealing with rage, and the importance of repair in parent-child relationships. Marya's journey through writing and podcasting highlights the transformative power of vulnerability and community, reinforcing the mantra "you are worthy, you are enough." Tune in for an episode brimming with wisdom, growth, and heartfelt connection.
