The Brain Scrub
Are you a target in parental alienation, are you trying to live your best life, is stuff getting in the way? The Brain Scrub focuses on mental health and I share how I am coping during these unpredictable times by focusing on self-care, improvement and building community. My goal is to support you in living your best life by sharing what I have done during my journey as an alienated parent. This podcast explains my path to living a more authentic life by taking a courageous look at my self and focusing on what I can control, me. I am not an expert and the tools and techniques I share are based on my research, practice and ideas. For mental or physical health challenges, please seek the advice of a qualified practitioner. Absolutely seek professional help to deal with trauma, depression, personality disorders, etc. Support is out there - get it.

Are you happy, healthy and comfortable? If yes, congratulations! You have wellbeing. Stress levels are increasing and those with Emotional Intelligence may have an advantage in achieving and sustaining well being. The challenge is that many have learned that emotional connection is a bad thing or others run away and don't process them. The smart phone is a great tool for that as it distraction as it allows us to enjoy the lives of others and escape from what truly matters, me and those in my life. Get connected to your emotions and in doing so, watch the heart based connections, grow.

True friends are those that have your back and are willing to support and help you grow and become more self-aware. I have many and Darcy and Tamara are the type of friends where after each walk, I benefit from physical and mental workouts. It is a pleasure to have this husband and wife duo on the Brain Scrub.

We may see others as the enemy or that they are not one of us. That may be the case or is it stopping us from creating a more united, versus, polarized world? What would life be like if we could live in peace and in community? In this episode, I chat a bit about this and discuss an incredible book titled: 'It's not always depression', by Hilary Jacobs Hendel.
