This is the final episode for Authentic Wellness Season One. I hope with my whole heart that this series has been informative and received well by many. When I intitally had the idea to create a podcast in 2022, never in my wildest dreams would I think to have produced a whole series of episodes within such a short time with so much detail and time put into each one. I wanted nothing but the best for survivors of CPTSD who have endured prolonged pain and hunger for hope.
I want this series to be a small beginning for a door to healing, a start of a journey, and an empowering force for people who challenge the stereotypical methods of healing. We are all so incredibly different and it would never be fair for someone to only provide them with just one option to thrive.
With this final episode the message is brief, simple, and a bit broad. However, this was done with the purpose of not letting survivors and victims of abuse feel like my suggestions are the only route to healing. If my trauma has taught me anything it is to follow my gut, to seek my truth, and to not engage in things I am weary of. It all comes with regaining that control and moving at your own pace to heal. It is your timeline. No one else has a say in your story narrative.
So until my next season I wish all my listeners the best in everything. I hope you all continue to live Authentically Well.

This episode is one I would consider a bonus episode. When looking at my drafts I chose to use this recording in order to spread awareness on an alarming subject that deteriorates mental health at all stages of life. As someone with CPTSD, loneliness and lack of support were the two areas that significantly shaped my outcome and ability to learn emotional regulation. In this episode I share vulnerable areas that shaped me and provide an explanation as to why loneliness is such a profound factor in many peoples lives. What can be done about this and how can we target current behaviors that resulted from chronic loneliness in childhood? Tune in to learn more!

There are critical moments in a person's life that changes their whole perception on healthcare and the way the person will make choices going forward. In this slightly controversial episode we look at the big debate between Big Pharma and alternative/ natural medicine. I shed a light on the corruption brought about by the pharmaceutical industry and how it can impact the lives of individuals who have struggled to obtain quality health to manage chronic disease. Join me as I share my personal story on my decision to switch to alternative and holistic healing, while pinpointing root causes of previous health mistakes made and how I chose to move forward with my new outlook of healing.
