Returning Home: The Podcast Returning Home with Elise Kindya

On episode 24 of Returning Home, I interviewed Erin Stanley, a fellow therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. We talk about Erin's journey to becoming licensed and self-employed, the influence of social media and the information age on mental health, and how to cultivate self-care amid all the noise. Erin's work with millenials and elder Gen Z'ers is inspired by her own experiences in this generation, and her identity intersects in other ways, such as race and gender, which makes her very relateable to clients. Erin describes having a shorthand with clients where certain things don't need to be explained, which makes it easier for clients to get to the important work they came to therapy to do. When she isn't practicing therapy, Erin can be found baking cookies, playing with her dog or reading a good book.
 
Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:
Learn from Erin about how to cultivate hope, joy and mindful pleasure on a daily basis.
Hear why Erin loves working with Millenials and elder Gen Z'ers in her private, virtual therapy practice.
Develop ways to listen to your own body and live your life according to the messages you receive, as Erin explains some effective ways to do so.

This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tess Palma-Martinez. Tess is a sound healer, manifestation expert and founder of Completely Golden, based in Nosara, Costa Rica.

In this episode of Returning Home: The Podcast, I interview Chelsie Skowyra, Spiritual Mentor. Chelsie is a former mental health therapist until her spiritual awakening sent her on a journey of integrating psychology with spirituality. She now works as a spiritual mentor offering transformational services such as teaching others how to be spiritual mentors, reiki healings, and hosting self-care retreats. In this episode, you will hear Chelsie's path to finding herself in her purpose, tools she offers to her clients in healing sessions, and OF COURSE a Taylor Swift reference (or 2!). I hope this episode is a reminder to listen to the small nudges you are receiving every day from various channels. Be open to the messages of your life and follow the guidance of your inner knowing.
Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode: Hear from Chelsie how she knew that Spiritual Mentorship was her professional calling. Learn what Chelsie means when she talks about favorite self vs. higher self. Discover some of Chelsie's spiritual icks!

Meet Sophia Hornyak in this interview on Returning Home: The Podcast. Sophia is a mother, writer, akashic teacher, and occult historian. Driven by her own traumatic upbringing, she has a personal practice of researching occult and mystic philosophy to find the bridge between the spiritual and the meaning of self. Her work is grounded, raw, and places the importance of resonance in the hands of her students and clients. In this episode, Sophia shares about the powerful work we did together in EMDR sessions, her views on spiritual bypassing, her upcoming Trance training in the UK, and she discusses her terminology “Spiritual Ecosystem.” Healing doesn’t mean erasing yourself or your experiences, it means integrating the past with who you are now and who you have always been, and who you are becoming.
 
Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:
Hear from Sophia and the exciting progress she made during EMDR treatment.
To learn what Sophia means by Your Spiritual Ecosystem.
To discover upcoming events where you can meet Sophia and learn from her.
