This is a short follow-up episode by Dr. Fred reflecting on his recent interview with Eir Atla, an herbalist and "green witch." He summarizes her story of struggling with endometriosis that was not effectively treated by conventional medicine. She eventually healed herself using alternative modalities like herbalism, nutrition, acupuncture, energy work, and medical astrology.

Dr. Fred explains Eir's process of making personalized herbal remedies while channeling information from plant spirit guides and interpreting clients' astrological charts. She uses whole plants rather than isolates and infuses the medicines with healing spells/intentions. Her motto is "skills before pills."

Though skeptical at first about the efficacy of these alternative practices, Dr. Fred comes to believe Eir's testimonial based on his medical knowledge. He sees value in being open to nature's healing wisdom when modern medicine falls short.

Key points:
•⁠  ⁠Eir healed her own "incurable" endometriosis well enough to finally conceive her "miracle baby"
•⁠  ⁠She uses multiple holistic modalities in her practice, not just astrology and herbs
•⁠  ⁠Her confidence and personal experiences support that her approach works 
•⁠  ⁠It aligns philosophically with fields like acupuncture and Ayurveda

In the end, Dr. Fred enthusiastically answers yes - there IS a place for integrating ancient healing wisdom like astrology and plant medicine alongside modern medical practice.

This podcast episode features Dr. Fred interviewing Eir Atla, a "green witch" and herbal healer. 

Eir shares her personal health journey, including being diagnosed with endometriosis at a young age and struggling to find effective treatment from conventional medicine. After exhausting her options, she turned to alternative healing modalities like herbs, nutrition, acupuncture, and energy work. She also discovered medical astrology, which helped her understand the root causes of her health issues. 

After healing herself, Eir became a herbalist and healer to help other women with similar issues. She makes personalized herbal remedies and provides holistic health consulting. Her mission is to empower women to heal by understanding their bodies, tuning into their intuition, and using natural therapies. 

Eir explains key concepts like:
•⁠  ⁠Whole plant medicine vs. essential oils 
•⁠  ⁠Her spagyric tinctures made from whole plants that work on the mind/body/spirit
•⁠  ⁠Medical astrology and reading natal charts to target health remedies
•⁠  ⁠Validating people’s embodied experiences through astrological insight

It’s an insightful conversation about herbalism, women’s health, medical astrology, spirituality, and one woman’s journey to self-healing and helping others.

Welcome to Episode 72 of the Healthy Healer podcast, where we delve into the indispensable relationship between mental health and thriving business transitions. In this insightful recap, we uncover the crucial facets shaping successful shifts in the professional realm. From emphasizing the significance of mental well-being in business to the pivotal role of purpose and intuition during transitions, we explore how aligning values with actions fosters sustainable success. Join us as we redefine mental health, dissect the essence of failure, and illuminate the path towards a fulfilling life that merges purpose with prosperity.

Here are the key takeaways from this short recap podcast episode:

•⁠  ⁠Mental health is just as critical in the business sphere as the personal for success during major transitions.

•⁠  ⁠Shifting from employee to employer or exiting a company requires intention, purpose and intuition.

•⁠  ⁠Success combines aligned purpose and profit - impact and income. Definitions stretch beyond money.  

•⁠  ⁠Without being grounded and self-aware, big visions can't sustainably manifest.

•⁠  ⁠Failures come with big goals. Use them as redirection opportunities rather than losses.

•⁠  ⁠The standard definition of mental health is flawed. True health aligns behaviors with values to contribute value.  

•⁠  ⁠Living your purpose, not just stated values, builds self-worth. This enables wealth, not chasing money only.

•⁠  ⁠Taking steps towards alignment allows a life that matters, where you can get paid for being you rather than roles you dislike.

In this insightful conversation, we dive into the world of purpose-driven entrepreneurship with the remarkable Elona Lopari. Join us as Elona shares her wisdom on aligning mission and profit goals for sustainable, impactful businesses. Drawing from her corporate career, she emphasizes the transformative power of finding purpose and meaning beyond external success. Elona defines entrepreneurship as a journey of solving personal problems to help a wider audience, stressing that purpose should precede profit to make authentic, meaningful decisions. Discover how she navigates the entrepreneurial landscape, starting with client clarity and weaving branding, marketing, and systems into a cohesive tapestry. Learn the keys to building an independent business as a lasting legacy, providing flexibility for new paths while maintaining a positive impact. Elona also delves into the importance of balance, emphasizing how healthy entrepreneurs prioritize relationships, self-care, and mental wellness alongside ambition to prevent burnout. Tune in to unravel the secrets of intuition, purpose, and intention as Elona Lopari unveils the keys to success!

Here are the key takeaways from the podcast interview:

•⁠  ⁠Elona helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs align their mission and profit goals to build sustainable, impactful businesses. 

•⁠  ⁠Her corporate career showed happiness doesn't always align with outward success. Finding purpose and meaning was key.

•⁠  ⁠She defines an entrepreneur as someone solving a problem for themselves, then using that knowledge to help many more people.

•⁠  ⁠Purpose must come first, then profit naturally flows. Leading with money first risks poor decisions solely for financial gain. 

•⁠  ⁠Elona starts with client clarity: What transformation do you want to create? Then crafts the branding, marketing, systems to align.

•⁠  ⁠Creating an independent business as a legacy asset gives more options later to follow new paths while still making an impact. 

•⁠  ⁠Healthy entrepreneurs prioritize relationships, self-care, mental wellness along with ambition. Balance across areas prevents burnout.

In this follow-up installment, we delve deeper into our recent conversation with Cai Graham, exploring the three critical questions that can revolutionize parent-teen communication. Cai's ingenious approach involves asking teens to rate their day on a scale of 1-10 with "What's your number?" – offering a non-intrusive barometer for their emotional state. The question "What's your word?" encourages them to encapsulate their feelings or life in a single word, fostering emotional intelligence. Lastly, "Want to talk?" gracefully keeps the door ajar for more sharing while respecting teen boundaries. We unravel how these questions empower teens, occasionally sparking significant conversations, and discuss their applicability beyond parent-teen dynamics, offering a valuable tool for checking in on anyone's state of being. Tune in as we explore this transformative framework that facilitates open communication while allowing individuals to control the pace and content of their sharing.

Key takeaways from this recap episode:

•⁠  ⁠Cai Graham developed 3 simple but powerful questions to improve parent-teen communication.

•⁠  ⁠"What's your number?" asks the teen to rate their day on a scale of 1-10. Gives a barometer without interrogation.

•⁠  ⁠"What's your word?" asks them to describe their current feelings/life with one word. Builds emotional intelligence. 

•⁠  ⁠"Want to talk?" keeps the door open for more sharing while respecting teen boundaries/comfort level.

•⁠  ⁠Though teens may decline to talk more mostly, occasionally it opens significant conversations.

•⁠  ⁠This framework allows information flow while letting teens control pace and content.

•⁠  ⁠These questions could work for any relationships when you want to check in with someone's state of being, not just parents.

•⁠  ⁠It gauges life quality, elicits an experience descriptor, and checks if now works for more dialogue.

In our 69th episode, we delved into a crucial topic with Cai Graham, focusing on bridging the generational gap in the realm of mental health. As we navigate the evolving landscape of parenting and adolescence, Cai shared invaluable insights into addressing the challenges exacerbated by the aftermath of COVID. From the shifting dynamics of the parent-child relationship to the importance of active listening, we explored practical strategies to support teenagers facing anxiety.

Join us as we unravel the nuances of modern parenting and gain a deeper understanding of the internal struggles teens face in a world marked by change, uncertainty, and a heightened awareness of social and environmental issues.

Here are the key takeaways from the podcast interview:

• Cai helps parents and teenagers navigate mental health issues like anxiety, especially in the wake of COVID's impact. 
• Many parents struggle to support kids based on their own youth experiences - times have greatly changed.
• ⁠Adolescence brings a rocky road. As kids grow more independent, the parent-child dynamic must shift from manager to mentor.  
• Listening without always advising is key but very difficult. Teens need to feel heard and understood.
• Cai's "3 Questions" exercise builds communication without interrogation: 1) Number rating day 2) Descriptor word 3) Want to talk?
• Getting the minimal information opens the door for teens to dictate if, when and how to share more based on their comfort.
• ⁠What parents see as issues can differ from what really troubles teens internally. Fixing grades won't help until mindset shifts.
• Today's youth have more conscience about planet, people and purpose - not just chasing high paychecks in undesirable jobs.
• ⁠With more options comes more uncertainty, contributing to anxiety as teens question where they fit in the future.
