I want to first bring attention to the Maui fires in Kula and Lahaina that occurred last week. It just breaks my heart what is happening. The devastation is heartbreaking to observe. The locals and Kanaka Maoli are going to need financial assistance to rebuild so I have listed some places below to donate to.

-----------------------------

What would happen if we allowed ourselves to truly feel, to coexist with and acknowledge all our emotions, especially the ones we'd rather ignore? On today's episode, we explore this question with accomplished licensed professional counselor, Hannah Carr. Hannah's personal journey has its roots in an environment of addiction, and this has not only fostered her resilience, but also shaped her perspective on the human experience, mental health, and recovery.
Navigating through the complexities of mental health, addiction, and the power of connection, Hannah’s experiences offer a poignant illustration of the human journey. We touched on emotional regulation, the language of emotions, and the role of 'unfinished business' in our reactions to certain situations. Hannah also enlightened us about the importance of giving ourselves permission to feel; an essential step in processing our emotions, and the power of authenticity and vulnerability in emotional healing.
As we wind up our conversation, we delve into the fundamental principles of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Hannah beautifully explained the importance of physiological needs and how community and connection can help meet these. The conversation took an insightful turn towards the importance of safe spaces for marginalized communities and the power of boundaries. Hannah’s personal experiences with overcoming obstacles, highlight the incredible power of authenticity and supportive communities.
