Naturopathic and Spiritual Approach to Mental Health and Overall Wellbeing (Ep. 26)
There are times in life when we feel amazing and there are times when we don’t feel so hot… This is especially true when we struggle with our mental health and have possibly even been diagnosed with a mental health disorder…
Our relationship and our life can be a real struggle if we struggle with our own wellbeing… For it is difficult to show up with our best self if we are not feeling our best. Anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders and things like OCD, ADHD, BPD, PSTD, and other diagnoses can really make it challenging to manage ourselves and our lives and how we show up to interactions with our loved ones and others…
But we don’t have to struggle, there are so many approaches and modalities we can utilize to have our own back in feeling optimally and creating our best self, best relationship, and best life! We don’t have to suffer. We don’t have to be on medications that might make things worse. We don’t have to feel limited and miss out on joy and happiness, deeply and meaningfully connecting with our partner, doing the most gorgeous parenting, having a successful career or business, and everything else our heart desires…
In this episode, I have a super resourceful and inspiring conversation with Dr. Serena Goldstein, a Naturopathic Doctor, who is with us for a second time, and this time addressing mental health and overall wellbeing. We discuss a more natural, holistic and even spiritual approach to healing, wellness and feeling on top of the world. Addressing conditions is not just about taking medicines, but about how we do our life experience…
We discuss a range of modalities and approaches to support your wellbeing.
Hope this information serves you and helps you get on the path to your Successful Relationship and Meaningful Life.

ON THE RELATIONAL SIDE
A rich softer approach to mental health and relationship success
Creating a healthy, happy, and successful relationship doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentionally to create the relationship we desire. It requires we invest in bringing our best selves to our relationship…
As challenging as this might be at times, it is even more challenging when we struggle with our personal wellbeing and mental health…
And nothing happens in a vacuum. Everything is interconnected. So, if we are not feeling well, that will impact our relationship and our life. And if we are going through a rough patch in our relationship and our life, then our wellbeing suffers…
But let’s not get stuck in what came first, the chicken or the egg.
Let’s instead focus on taking care of ourselves no matter what and investing in our relationship as we go… These ensure we can tackle anything life throws at us, and that we live our best life…
We are embracing a practice makes progress approach. No shaming and guilting ourselves about anything!
Then, we implement a soft Self-Love Practice… And a soft Partner-Love Practice… Where we focus on delighting our partner… Soft means not grinding but with compassion, joy, grace, and generosity.
It’s all about the intention behind our rhythms and our lifestyle we choose day in and day out.
Give it a thought, design what days and life you want to experience, and then put in the routines, habits, rituals, traditions, practices to enrich your relationship and your life.
Your investment in your overall wellbeing and your relationship success will reward you with the relationship and life you love.
