Get ready for an empowering episode that dives deep into the realms of resilience, strength, and revolution! 

We sat down with the phenomenal Strong Coach Mary, founder of Strong Formula, and discussed her remarkable journey from a civil engineer to a beacon for women over 40. 🚀

Mary shared her compelling journey, navigating through life's challenges to transform not just her own life, but those of many women facing menopause. 

We explored how lifestyle changes, including switching to natural foods and an alcohol-free life, contributed to her transformation. 💪🍏🥦

We also delved into the critical role of self-care during menopause, and how her unique blend of strength training, nutrition, sleep, breath, and mindset forms the holistic lifestyle program she designed for menopausal women. 🏋️‍♀️🥗💤

Most inspiring was how Mary's journey has influenced her daughters' perception of strength and beauty, proving that 'strong is beautiful.' 💖

I reached out to MC McDonald after reading her book Unbroken: The Trauma Response is Never Wrong (And Other Things you Need to Know to Take Back Your Life) which I found pivotal in unravelling my own trauma response over these past few months.

 MaryCatherine McDonald, PhD, is a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology and philosophy of trauma. She has been researching, lecturing, and publishing on the neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience of trauma since completing her PhD in 2016. She’s published two academic books and many research papers, and is the creator of a trauma-based curriculum that serves previously incarcerated folks and veterans.

 In this chat, we cover, what does it really mean to experience trauma, and how does it affect our body, brain, and identity?

 - MC's (re)definition of trauma as an 'unbearable emotional experience that lacks a relational home', challenging the current definition that often overlooks layers of lived experience.

 - Our journey through the intricate neurobiology of trauma reveals its profound effects on us - from disrupting memory to altering our reactions.

 - recognizing our body's warning signals and the importance of having diverse tools to manage trauma responses.

 - simple tools like diaphragmatic breathing which can help regulate our nervous system during a trigger, and

 - how narrative reframing can powerfully aid our healing journey.

- the deep-seated issue of shame, often linked with trauma, and debunk the misconception that feeling ashamed is necessary for progress. 

And finally, we explore how critical life transitions can bring opportunities for healing and stress the importance of trusting ourselves during these challenging times.

 Join us in this episode as we learn to find our voice, reframe our stories, and navigate the path towards healing from trauma.

Patrice is a nurse with 39 years of experience working in a variety of specialties such as critical care, women's health, and geriatrics. After 15 years, she left clinical practice to teach nursing. As an award-winning educator at a top ranked university, she found her passion for mentoring new nurses and continues to teach abroad.

She recently returned to clinical work and in addition to writing her recently released book, The View from the Clinic: One Nurse's Journey in Abortion Care, she has returned to working in the abortion world caring for post-abortion patients via telemedicine.

 This week on our podcast, we dive deep into a topic that's often shrouded in stigma - abortion care. We're joined by Patrice, who shares her professional journey and invaluable insights from her tenure at various abortion clinics.

 We uncover the untold narratives surrounding abortion, discuss the societal implications and taboos, and confront the often polarizing debates on the subject. Patrice shares a blend of personal experiences and patient stories, shedding light on the diverse people she encountered in her work.

This episode is not just about abortion; it's about the interconnectedness of abortion, motherhood, education, and societal perceptions. We discuss the urgent necessity of educating young people about their sexual health and empowering them to make informed decisions.

Join us for this belief- and sterotype-challenging journey as we navigate the complex landscape of abortion care.

Tune in now to listen to this thought-provoking discussion!
