    Elaine Lin Hering Discusses Unlearning Silence and How Silence Effects Our Bodies, Our Workplaces and Our Society

    Elaine Lin Hering Discusses Unlearning Silence and How Silence Effects Our Bodies, Our Workplaces and Our Society

    Today we welcome Elaine Lin Hering to the podcast. In her new book, UNLEARNING SILENCE: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully,  Elaine takes our culture of silence to task. Each of us has a unique gift to offer our community: our voice. But despite our distinct and valuable perspectives, many of us choose to stay silent. Family norms, workplace hierarchies, and biased cultures can make us think twice about expressing ourselves, sharing new ideas, and even speaking out when we know something is wrong.  Elaine Lin Hering has worked with mental health professionals, political officials, religious communities, and leaders at companies including American Express, Google, Nike, Pixar, and the Red Cross to build skills in communication, collaboration, and conflict management. In her work, she’s seen the pervasive influence of silence in many forms. Elaine has developed strategies to recognize and unlearn unconscious patterns so we can make intentional choices about how we want to show up at home and at work.

    Kristina Kuzmic Shares About Parenting Her Struggling Teen and Her New Book ‘I Can Fix This’

    This episode contains talk of depression and suicidal ideation. Please listen responsibly. Today on the podcast we have world-renowned speaker Kristina Kuzmic. Kristina went from being a single mom living on food stamps to supporting her child through severe depression.  She has been lucky enough to thrive on social media, juggling all of life’s challenges and encouraging her audience to prioritize their mental health. She has quickly become a viral sensation with 2.9 million Facebook followers and well over 600,000 Instagram followers. . Even as the platforms evolve, her message continues to resonate with parents who need to hear that it's okay to be less than perfect. In her new book, I CAN FIX THIS, And Other Lies I Told Myself While Parenting My Struggling Child, Kristina shares what she learned the year her son's life seemed to unravel. These revelations helped her not only bear witness to his journey to healing but transformed the way she talks and thinks about parenting and showed her the unhealed wounds  in herself that must be addressed. We have a powerful conversation today on Kristina’s journey, her experience dealing with her son’s depression, how she navigated the experience, and ended up writing a book with the support of her son – on the other side of some of the most turbulent years. Watch the video of Kristina and her son Luca, that we reference in the episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAiUpIvuY4o

Making wellness HUMAN!

Aly and Erica are great at taking the confusing world of wellness and making it digestible and relatable! Their expert guests are always lively, and Erica and Aly don’t hesitate to open up about wellness struggles in their own lives, making for engaging episodes.

Highly Recommend!

I just discovered Courageous Wellness and love Aly and Erica’s authentic, passionate approach to de-stigmatizing conversations in the wellness space. I listened to your recent conversation with Rachelle McCloud and it was such an empowering reminder that even those of us who are high functioning experience mental health crises and there’s a valid reason for that based on what’s happening in our brain. Highly recommend, love this!
