emotional well-being

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, Mitopure, and AlgaeCal.

Loss is something we all have to deal with. But few of us are taught how to heal from these difficult experiences—a divorce, an accident, a miscarriage, a cancer diagnosis, losing the love of your life, or the death of a loved one. 

Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk with my good friend, Kris Carr, about some of the greatest lessons she has learned through her own grief, and how even the most difficult losses can reveal a roadmap to our next chapter of fully living. 

Kris Carr is a multiple New York Times best-selling author, wellness activist, and cancer thriver. She’s been called a “force of nature” by O magazine and was named a “new role model” by The New York Times. Kris is also a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100, a group of the most influential thought leaders today. Other media appearances include Good Morning America, The Today Show, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. She and her work have been featured in Glamour, Prevention, Scientific American, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and other national publications. Kris has helped millions of people take charge of their health and live like they mean it through her award-winning blog, books, online courses, and membership communities.

Perfectionism is everyone’s favorite flaw. It’s easy to assume that our push to be perfect is what leads to academic, athletic, and professional success.  But psychologist Thomas Curran says perfectionism has a dark side, and that there are much healthier ways to strive for excellence.

Have you ever resented someone from keeping a secret from you?

Do you often put other people's feelings before your own?

In this incredibly vulnerable episode with Kerry Washington, we dive into the complicated nature of family and generational trauma. We learn about how both compassion and pain co-exist. We explore how to receive and react to challenging news. This episode is one that you definitely do not want to miss if you have ever dealt with navigating familial relationships and dynamics. 

Kerry Washington is an Emmy award winning, SAG & Emmy- nominated actor, producer and director, and activist. Washington received widespread recognition for her role as Olivia Pope on ABC’s hit drama Scandal.  

Today we get to see a side of Kerry that we’ve never seen or heard before. She takes us through a journey of unveiling a long guarded family secret. A secret that took her down a journey of transformation, resilience and healing. This is a story that we can all relate to in our own ways.  

If you love this episode, Kerry’s new memoir is Thicker Than Water and you can hear even more stories about how Kerry has navigated challenges of life. 

This conversation is an invitation to explore the depths of truth, the human heart and the transformative power of rewriting your own story. 

In this interview, you will learn:

• The family secret that changed her life 
• How she leaned into compassion and not anger 
• How do you share challenging news to your children or loved ones?
• How she embraced her new truth and allowed herself to take control of her narrative 
• The secret to what has allowed her to be deeply rooted 
• How we can hold space for many truths at once

Dr Joe’s passion can be found at the intersection of the latest findings from the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions. He integrates that knowledge to teach people how to heal their bodies of health conditions, make significant changes in their lives, and evolve their consciousness. 

Since 2010, he has partnered with scientists and universities to perform extensive research on the effects that meditation has on the brain and body. During his advanced retreats around the world, his team has gathered more than 18,000 brain scans (quantitative QEEG) and 10,000 heart-rate variability measurements (HRV) to correlate the effects that sustained elevated emotions and self-regulation have on heart and brain function, immune response, and overall mind-body health. 

He and his team have also studied gene expression, protein regulation, immune response, neurotransmitter changes, telomere length, and variations in bioactive cellular metabolic particles in both novice and advanced meditators. As a New York Times best-selling author, researcher, lecturer, and corporate consultant, Dr Joe’s research has led him to develop a practical formula to help people transform their lives.

Dr Dispenza's latest findings have the potential to transform your understanding of meditation's impact on immunity. Dive into the science behind it and unlock the secrets to enhancing your well-being.

Love, dating and friendships can feel like a black box in our 20s when we're trying to make the most out of our formative years. None of us have the answers or a guide to some of our biggest questions - how do I actually make new friends, how many friends should I have, should I be settling down this early or exploring my options? In part two of this series we breakdown how to make the most out of our personal relationships during this decade. We discuss why your answer should always be 'yes', why quantity over quality may actually be more correct when it comes to friendships in our 20s and the benefit on getting our heart broken and loving as deeply as possible during this period. We also cover my 7 tips for personal growth to make the most out of this decade, from letting go of our ego to taking time to uncover our childhood wounds, as well as the power of just having a laugh at yourself every now and then. All that and more, listen now!

Today on the podcast, you and I are having a deeply personal and eye-opening conversation about alcohol and your relationship to it.

Rachel Hart is a best-selling author and master coach who has helped thousands of people re-examine their relationship with alcohol, and that’s exactly what she is going to help you do today.

Rachel knows the surprising reason you (and I) crave a drink (or have the urge to shop, vape, play video games, scroll on social media, or want something sweet).

She’ll also explain that weird cycle of emotions you experience after drinking.

Did I drink too much last night? Did I do anything I regret? Should I stop drinking altogether? Should I detox this week before the wedding next weekend? How do I drink less? Maybe it’s time I stopped altogether.

You’ll learn that this agitation and conflict about alcohol are normal. The question is, how do you change it?

Rachel says it’s by examining the desires underneath the urge.

Today, Rachel will help you unpack urges and desires and teach you why boundaries go right out the window when you feel an urge.

Today you’ll learn:

• What your drinking might really be all about. (it’s not what you think)
• Why feeling conflicted about drinking is normal.
• Where do urges really come from, and how do you ignore them?
• How your first experience with alcohol impacts your relationship with it.
• What your desires are trying to tell you.
• How to ditch the shame once and for all.
• The complicated messaging around alcohol.
• The 30-day plan Rachel uses with all her clients.

Not sure if you have a problem with alcohol? Worried about someone else who does? You're not ready to quit alcohol all together, but you wish you’d not reach for the glass of wine most nights. Wonder if maybe you should stop?

Perfect. Listen in. 

You can change your relationship with alcohol.

After this episode, you’ll know how.

Xo, Mel

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• 02:12: Why is my relationship with alcohol so confusing?
• 05:43: The shame cycle I go through every time I drink.
• 12:08: What does your urge actually symbolize? For me, I had to go back to when I was 14 to figure it out.
• 15:07: You are creating boundaries that justify your cravings and urges.
• 20:06: What your urges and cravings are trying to communicate to you.
• 23:07: The difference between your upper and lower brain and what you need to know.
• 26:10: How to stop drinking without stopping drinking.
• 28:09: Learning how to change means having a different relationship with commitment.
• 36:18: Tool #1: Name the urge when it’s happening.
• 40:06: Why "just say no" doesn’t work.
• 48:03: Stop looking for answers from others. You have an inner knowing of what’s best for you.
• 54:47: Tool #2: Ask yourself, If you couldn’t drink for the rest of your life, what would it feel like?
• 58:30: Disappointment when you give up your urges is normal.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we debate if and when you should remove photos of your exes from social media, and what keeping them, deleting them, or un-archiving them means for a relationship. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. 

Our first caller was in a situationship that ended after he confessed to cheating on multiple people and then asking how he’s grown since those experiences. He’s recently reached out to her again after ending things, and she isn’t sure how to proceed or if she should get back together with him. Our second caller is in love with her childhood best friend, but he has a girlfriend. She isn’t sure how to confess her feelings to him, and if it will ruin their family dynamic. Our final caller is the only woman at her company and dealing with a too-friendly coworker who is now attempting to see her on the weekends. She isn’t sure how to enforce her boundaries without affecting company culture, and doesn’t want to upset management. 

“The only good news is he understands that it’s f*cked up.”
