Feeling Bad When Others Do Too

In this episode, Andrea reflects on the importance of self-care and well-being, even in the face of global atrocities. She emphasizes the need to honor and process our emotions while also finding joy and pleasure in life. Andrea encourages listeners to prioritize their own well-being in order to sustain their advocacy and make a positive impact in the world. Takeaways Self-care and well-being are essential for sustaining advocacy and making a positive impact. Feeling and processing emotions is a natural part of life and should not be avoided. It is possible to hold both difficult emotions and joy in our bodies. Finding a supportive community or buddy can help in navigating and processing emotions. Prioritizing our own well-being does not mean disregarding global atrocities, but rather ensuring that we are able to show up fully to make a difference.

Somatic Movement with Liz from LVGMovement

In this episode, Liz from LVGMovement joins me and we discuss how her own journey has led her classically trained dance background flow into embodied somatic movement. I absolutely love being with others who are journeying through life in their very own way, AND bringing that to you, mi comunidad! Liz gives us a little taste of how to engage in somatic movement, in a very tangible and accessible way. If you are curious to experience more somatic movement and embodied being, Liz is sharing her movement medicine with us at our IN-PERSON community event called BRUNCH BRUJAS! Brunch Brujas is a community of mujeres that have connection and curiosity with medicina, magia & mothering. A space where we practice the *receiving* of care--flexing a different muscle than giving care to others (which so many of us are already quite practiced in!) BRUNCH BRUJAS: Friday, May 10, 2024 9:00-10:30am Long Beach, CA Register HERE!

Healing Is Hard & A Reflection

In this episode, we talk a little about our assumption that healing is always hard, but what if that wasn't always a given? After seeing a theme in many conversations throughout my week--both personal and in supporting clients, I noticed that so often we believe healing is going to be hard and painful. And sometimes that's why we avoid it! Which makes sense, why would you *knowingly* move towards the pain?! You have an opportunity to reflect with me to discover any stories or assumptions you might have about healing. Feel free to take your time with this reflection! It can be written down, but you can also use a different medium like art, something creative, and bring in your resources (something that supports you during the process to remain present when things feel challenging). Or take your time and split up the reflection if that feels better to you! The options are limitless! Healing can be done on your own, but there's also an invitation to join with others in community to be witnessed in your healing journey. If you're looking for a community space for your experience to be witnessed, I invite you to Brunch Brujas. Brunch Brujas is a space where those with relationship to medicina, magia & mothering come together to *practice* receiving care for themselves. Check out the details here for our next BRUNCH BRUJAS! ⁠https://www.eventbrite.com/o/mar-y-sol-wellness-77954678523⁠ I would LOVE to keep the conversation going!

Living While The World Is On Fire

In this episode, I walk you through some helpful ways to continue living even while current events challenge our ability to be well. When people ask, "How do I go forward?" sometimes there's a feeling of being stuck, or overwhelmed--not knowing what next step to take. I invite you to begin to ask yourself the question, "What do I need to be okay in this moment?" and perhaps even consider from a holistic perspective: body, mind & spirit. You'll also be able to have a better idea of how our bodies fully complete experiences so they aren't stuck and stagnant on the inside. ******* If this episode was helpful to you, I would be so grateful if you share it with a friend or someone you love. Spreading the word about this podcast helps others to benefit from it as well--MIL GRACIAS!! ******* What a gift to have you join me here, on the My Own Way Podcast. If you would like to work with me, either through individual healing or therapy offerings, or in a group setting like speaking engagements, I would love to hear from you!

The Necessity for Healing

**In this episode, there is mention of current events happening in Israel & Palestine. Although not graphic in nature, please be mindful about pausing when your body and your nervous system need to take a break. The very first priority is your well-being--please take good care of you.** Today, I share about a topic very near to my heart as a holistic practitioner, and as someone who has witnessed countless times the effects of unhealed or unprocessed trauma. And sometimes we don't know about healing if we are unfamiliar, or just don't know where to start. But the effects of unresolved trauma can be disastrous, not just to ourselves, but to others as well. When you listen in today, we'll touch on some of the ways you can go about healing your own trauma both individually and within community. I also take an opportunity for practicing wellness in the middle of the episode--so feel free to join in, or pause if you need more time to soothe your nervous system before listening to the rest of the episode. If you find yourself in need of a supportive person as you process difficult experiences, let's connect! I would be honored to support you in this part of your journey. Let's continue to prioritize our own healing for the good of ourselves, and our world.

Surrender

Some thoughts and reflections on the word Surrender, as it continues to show up for me again and again. And perhaps some thoughts to consider as you reflect on the word surrender for yourself: What would surrendering to yourself look like? If you took a step of trust in the direction of surrender, what would you see, hear, touch, taste, and smell? ****************************************************************** In this space you are welcome to move and be exactly as you need to. Thank you for joining me today. I would love to hear what came up for you as you lean into traveling your very own way. Please leave a comment, like & subscribe to the podcast.

Learning to Live My Own Way

Learning to live life in my own way has been a journey of many joyous events, and many challenging turns. But being true to who I am is worth each and every step it took to get here. In this first episode, I briefly touch on a few challenges that invited me into living as authentically as possible, and the sacred moments that have surfaced that allow for pause and reflection. I invite you to join me in living your very own way--your very own journey. If life wasn’t about playing by the rules, what would you do differently? Even right now? If you needed to prove yourself to no one, but only desired to live in your deepest most true version—where is your next step headed? Would you shift how you nourish your body? Be more intentional in your interactions? Become your own boss and offer holistic healing in ways that are beyond the education and degree you received? I get that. I invite you on this journey of exploring your own way. It is your path, and everything is always an invitation. You may choose to receive some stories, and leave others. You may use this podcast as a launching pad for new insights and inspirations in your own life. Or you may notice the softening that comes with even just being curious before you take action. In this space you are welcome to move and be exactly as you need to. Thank you for joining me today. I would love to hear what came up for you as you lean into traveling your very own way.
