    136: The Missing Pieces of Mental Health: 6 Pillars That Actually Help

    Send us Fan Mail Mental Health Awareness Month is an opportunity to do more than simply talk about mental health—it’s a chance to explore what truly supports our well-being. While awareness has helped reduce stigma and encourage important conversations, many people still struggle to understand what mental health actually looks like in daily life. As a therapist, I've found that mental wellness isn't built on one habit, one mindset shift, or one self-care practice. It comes from caring for yourself as a whole person. In this episode, I share the six pillars of mental health that I use with clients to create meaningful, sustainable change: ✨ Physical Health ✨ Emotional Health ✨ Mental Health ✨ Lifestyle ✨ Mindfulness ✨ Self-Love We'll discuss why mental health is about much more than positive thinking and how small, intentional actions can create lasting shifts in your well-being. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why Mental Health Awareness Month mattersHow stigma impacts mental health treatment and supportWhy a holistic approach to mental wellness is essentialThe connection between your body, thoughts, emotions, and daily habitsHow to identify which pillar of mental health may need more attentionSimple practices you can begin using todayPlease note this podcast is not a substitute for mental health therapy or seeing your physician.

    133: Reflect, Release, and Reimagine: A Soul-Centered Guide to the New Year

    Send us Fan Mail As we move into a new year, it’s never too late to pause, reflect, and intentionally choose what comes next.  In this episode of Feed Your Soul with Kim, I share the soulful New Year reflection practice I use every year to release what no longer serves me and invite in what I truly want.  This gentle, grounded process helps you look back on the past year with compassion without shame or pressure and move forward with clarity, intention, and peace.  You don’t have to have everything figured out. This is a living reflection you can return to throughout the year by crossing things out, adding new intentions, and allowing yourself to evolve.  If you’re craving a slower, more intentional way to enter the new year — one rooted in self-trust, clarity, and inner peace — this episode is for you.   Join us on the Feed Your Soul with Kim Podcast as we explore:  Learn the 9 key areas to focus on as you reflect on the past and reimagine the future.Embrace a way to keep you focused this next year. Be guided through meaningful questions to help you recognize what worked, what was challenging and the lessons you are ready to carry forward.  Please note this podcast is not a substitute for mental health therapy or seeing your physician.
