Dominique de Marne is living, loving, laughing, learning and traveling with borderline, addiction and depression for over fifteen years now. She is a full time Mental Health Advocate trying to spread the word and the lessons she has learned through life. Dominique wants to change how we speak about mental health.

In today’s episode we chat about the power of learning to be silent, being comfortable in our own
skin and how to find a full quality of life through all life throws at us. I am SO grateful our paths crossed at this year’s European Conference on Mental Health.

Hop on Dominique’s website for more information on her mission and where her
projects are taking her: www.travelingtheborderline.com

My guest, Susanna Mittermaier, is a licensed psychologist, psychotherapist and author of the #1 international bestselling book, Pragmatic Psychology: Practical Tools for Being Crazy Happy.

We look into how labels are placed on people often defining them rather than asking questions in getting to know who they are. From depression, A.D.H.D, anxiety, anger and beyond…we get to flip the approach to mental health upside down to gain a fresh and encouraging view of the mind and body.

We will be presented with windows of opportunity for change in different seasons of life. We can take a step forward or we can remain where we are. Our decision can impact a whole lot of aspects
of our life.

My guest, Deb Berruti Knight, is an Occupational Therapist who has served at a clinic in Niger for the past ten years. She has reconstructed limbs, encouraged hearts and saved lives. For both her and her husband, James, their season is ending in Niger and a new one is beginning.

How we handle change, our outlook and who we associate with are key components in how we do life. Deb discusses the power of mindset, the ingredients for fostering true girl power and leaves us with some crazy amazing life challenges to get our goodness on.

I sat with Romeo Mihovic, native of Stoliv, Montenegro (part of Kotor Bay) reflecting on life, priorities and the importance of tradition.

Romeo’s family has resided in the bay area for over 600 years. He spent time in the Montenegro Navy as a Seaman and then served as a Social Worker for over 20 years.

Romeo’s outlook on life is based upon embracing the simple pleasures around him. Family takes precedence over work and materials. Family, good friends, local food and preserving his country’s traditions seem to flow through his veins.

It was a privilege to have the opportunity to sit and chat with the President of the Jewish Community Center in Brasov, Valer Plugaru. When we are aware of our past it plays a role in deterring the atrocities of the past from repeating themselves. Taking time to bring life to things that were truly ugly, can be a powerful tool for adults and kids in learning about the strength in kindness and the importance of knowing our history.

Taking some time to look at the relevance of reflecting on the various transitions we experience during life. Instead of just letting life happen or keeping our eyes closed to not think about these changes, learning how to ‘brain dump’ and chat can make a world of a difference.

A life without passion can often lead to complacency and falling short of living to your intended potential. Finding your intended passion(s) in life can be a beautiful thing and it is a message to be relayed to our kids. When they lack passion, often it may lead to struggles with self esteem or opting to make some not so good decisions.

My guest, Silvia Demeter-Lowe, a Romanian who is a conservation activist as well as political activist. She shares her passion for a more unified and people focused government that is inspiring.

We have different seasons in life. There are times life can be really,
really tough. Throw in the struggle of addiction, mental illness or issues at
work or home and it can be even tougher.
