When was the last time you allowed yourself to fully feel your emotions? Have a good cry? Angry scream out some pain? Dance your face off? We’ve been conditioned to believe that feeling emotions is a bad thing and to tuck it away until it’s a more convenient and more acceptable time to handle our shit.

Today, we’re talking with Emotional Empowerment Coach, Tara Swann, about the power and importance of honoring and releasing emotions which allows us to step into emotional empowerment.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Tara overcame depression and anxiety by releasing her emotions
• We can heal ourselves if we give our bodies what they need
• How to start listening and reconnecting to your body
• Making subtle shifts for radical change
• What releasing your emotions can look like
• Healing your emotions allows you to shift your beliefs and change your life
• Emotions that you resist persist
• We have a choice about how we feel every day

Her main passion and purpose is to help others do what she did - transform anxiety, low confidence and self-doubt into lasting unconditional happiness and self-love.

Just as Todd Patkin should have been at the highest of highs, he spiralled into a breakdown, which left him depressed and suicidal. He had just sold his family business for $100,000,000.00, had a great marriage and healthy son, yet it got to the point, whilst at lunch with his father, he couldn't even decide between the coleslaw and the potato salad. His life of insecurity, low self-esteem and chasing success had finally caught up with him. When he should have been the happiest, he found himself far from it.

Todd made a decision to find happiness, and that decision started him on a remarkable journey. Since that time in 2011, he has written books and created audio material on happiness. He has toured the USA teaching his Twelve Weeks to Happiness program. Todd has been on hundreds of radio and tv shows, was Readers Digest’s happiness person of the year for 2012 and even worked with Deepak Chopra.

Todd's formula for happiness is very simple, just not easy, and is outlined in his twelve week program that he wants you to have and follow as his gift. Yes, that is no charge. In this podcast Todd and I discuss many cool things, including talking through some of the key principles and elements of his wonderful program. If you are struggling to find happiness in your life, or know someone who is, this is an essential conversation to listen to.

With Christmas around the corner, does it seem like everyone else is oozing holiday cheer? While the rest of the world is wrapped up in red and green, you’re the only one feeling blue? December is presented as a month of celebration and belonging – a time of happiness, when everything goes right. But so often that is just not the case. For many people, the holidays intensify feelings of loneliness, grief, or depression. And instead of feeling happy, we’re reminded of the way things are not, of losses or of the things we’ve hoped for that haven’t happened yet. This week on the podcast, Crystal is talking about depression with Dr. Todd Stryd, a faculty member and counseling coordinator at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation. Listen to their encouraging conversation to hear how depression is approached in Scripture and how we can respond this Christmas season.

Ministry began as Tada, joined by friends around her kitchen table, responded to letters she received from people with disabilities in search of support. Over the past 40 years, the ministry has grown to serve thousands of people impacted by disability worldwide: Joni and Friends has delivered more than 150,000 wheelchairs and Bibles through Wheels for the World and provided Christian care to 63,000 special needs family members through Family Retreats. The organization also equips individuals and churches with disability ministry training and provides higher education courses through the Christian Institute on Disability.
