Pretty Mental is about accepting our full selves and inspiring others to do the same by being daringly unfiltered. This means completely normalizing all things mental health and the wild journey that has brought us here. We are challenging the stigmatization of normal human suffering. We are done pretending and subscribing to the notion that it’s taboo to have challenging mental health experiences.
Welcome to the pretty mental health club and enjoy the show!

116. Moving Beyond Survival Mode with Tara Zinnamon
Today’s conversation is with the magical spirit Tara Zinnamon and it was the exact nourishment my soul was hungry for. We laughed, cried and showed up with our hearts wide open. In this convo, Tara dives into:
Dealing with the compounding loss and grief of having her dad taken away by the legal system when she was just 5 years old
What it looks like to wholeheartedly embrace anger after suppressing it for so many years
Losing her beautiful mother to a rare aggressive ovarian cancer and being her full-time caretaker during COVID
Why seeing mortality face to face taught her all about allowing every part of her life to be seen and not just the shiny sides
How she's finding ways to unload grief and step deeply into radical softness
"There’s more beyond struggle, there’s more beyond survival" - Tara

115. I Promise We'll Get Through It (Solo)
Today I dive into an intimate solo about my health and how the universe has been guiding me to come face to face with old traumas. I bring in lessons that I learned in my early and mid-20s when I was living with a scary eating disorder that I thought I would never be able to heal from. And I let you guys in on the way I’m being asked to approach life right now.

111. Why We Suffer & How To Take Our Power Back with Aaron Abke
HOLY Sh!t you guys!!! Today's conversation is EVERYTHING. I had the absolute honor of hanging with @Aaron Abke and talking about insanely expansive and healing topics that are helping us as we deal with these shaky times and helping us come back home to ourselves in this lifetime. Together we dove into:
Aaron's journey from becoming a pastor, leaving the church and then going on the journey of uncovering the question "what is the point of life?"
How his depression led him to finding liberation from the bondage of his mind
Tangible steps to take if we are finding ourselves feeling depressed, anxious, in fear or hopeless with how our lives are going right now - The 3 basic emotions (root energies) and core beliefs that ultimately lead to suffering
How to begin transcending the emotions that are keeping us feeling stuck
What the Law of One says about where we are right now as a collective and how we are becoming a positively polarized 4th Density planet (and what this means)
How following our dreams is the best thing we can do for ourselves WHILE attending to the responsibilities and karmic duties that have been assigned to us
How his 4D University Program is helping us go from a 3rd Density state of consciousness to a 4th Density state of consciousness
What's been keeping Aaron's heart open lately & his practice when he feels his heart closing up
If you are going through a rough time right now, know that you use this pain as a route to your liberation. As Aaron says: "The suffering we go through is used as a form of grace to wake us up from our delusions thinking we’re something we are not.”
