    Learning How to Achieve Emotional Co-regulation with Your Child and What to do When You Mess Up, with Celestyna Wild

    Learning How to Achieve Emotional Co-regulation with Your Child and What to do When You Mess Up, with Celestyna Wild

    Hello and welcome back to Rad Mom Radio!

    This week my guest is Celestyna Brozek Wild. Celestyna is a parent couch who combines multiple neuroscientific and metaphysical modalities into a hybrid therapeutic coaching approach called Deep Change Work. 

    Deep Change Work identifies unconscious unhelpful patterns in how we perceive ourselves, others, and the world, and updates them in a deep way, not just neo-cortically, but in the lower brain, the body, and the nervous system as well, so the change is accepted by and integrated into the whole system.

    Deep Change Work centers and celebrates human complexity and wholeness. This work also brings attention to where modern life is fricative with indigenous and sociobiological aspects of our humanity. Celestyna works with all individuals, but especially loves supporting parents, relationships, and midlife transitions.

    In addition to her practice, Celestyna publishes the ARCHETYPOS zine and produces podcasts, including her own podcast, The Surf and Stars Social Club Podcast, where you can listen to live client coaching to get an intimate feel for how she works. Lastly, Celestyna supports families through community events she hosts locally around Denver, CO. To learn more about her work and sign up to receive emails, please visit celestynawild.com

    Borderline Personality Disorder, Motherhood, and Ending the Stigma, with Becca Ferry

    Borderline Personality Disorder, Motherhood, and Ending the Stigma, with Becca Ferry

    Hello and welcome to Rad Mom Radio – a podcast dedicated to moms and all their favorite topics. My name’s Natalie, and I’m your host.

    My guest this week is Becca Ferry. Becca is a wife, a mom, a social media influencer, and the owner of Bettering Society where she creates and sells mental health apparel. You can find Becca on Instagram @betteringbecca and @shopbetteringsociety.

    I discovered Becca on Instagram - she was talking about her experience with borderline personality disorder. And I was just so impressed with her willingness to be vulnerable about something so sensitive online. I think there is a huge stigma against moms that struggle with mental health issues and because of that stigma a lot of moms won’t talk about their struggles openly. It feels risky. So to see someone talking about it so openly really stood out to me. So I sent Becca a message inviting her to come on as a guest and I’m so glad she said yes because this was such an awesome conversation. 

    I can’t say enough good things about Becca, she is sweet, honest, warm, genuine, brave, and I think that the work she’s doing is remarkable. So I feel very honored that I got to hang out and chat with her. In this episode we talked about Becca’s experience with her mental health, borderline personality – what it is and how it has impacted her life. We talked about mental health stigma against mothers, we talked about normalizing open discussions about the darker aspects of mental health, and we talked about what it’s like to talk about maternal mental health online.

    Thank you for listening!

Two of her children are neurodivergent and her parenting mission became to raise them as who they were born as in their authenticity. School didn’t work for her kids so homeschool came up when her eldest son was 9, and Unschooling soon followed. She believes unschooling was one of the best things that happened to her and her boys, and the unschooling principle has affected every single aspect of hers and her boys lives in the most amazing ways she never could have imagined.

    Rino's biggest takeaway through unschooling was Trust, and this is one of the core pillars in her life and in her work as a relationship success coach for men and women. Rino is a certified trauma-informed coach who will pick up on the nuances of trauma and safely guide her clients to move forward and live the life they truly desire. She is originally from Tokyo and now lives in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
