And we’re LIVE with Episode 99 of Social Harmony…

It feels like so many of us are just moving through life, pushing forward towards the next task and seemingly unaware of what we're feeling and why we're feeling a certain way. I know that for the majority of my life, this was my day to day and I didn't even stop to consider my emotions, much less give thought to my central nervous system.

I'm joined by Daryl McInnis - she's a licensed mental health counsellor and substance-use therapist, in addition to creating The Regulated Life, a workbook dedicated to helping us recognise our physical responses to stress, reconnect the body and regulate the nervous system.

Daryl created the book following years of study and working to heal her own trauma behaviours following a difficult childhood which left her with patterns of protective responses that continued into young adulthood until a love of her studies gave her new insights and means of flipping the script on how she responded to stressors.

Moving into the therapy space and beyond helped Daryl to look at her origin story with new eyes and see things in a much wider context. While she could acknowledge and discuss issues from her formative years, she could see that she was becoming a new person that did not need to carry old behaviours into her present life.

Talking with candour and humour, Daryl shares her story and how it has informed both her work and the woman that she is today. Acknowledging that there are still struggles that need to be faced, this is not a basic story of moving from darkness into light but one of learning, growth and self-determination which shows that while we cannot choose page one of our story, we can certainly make sure that the later chapters contain the life we want.

We regularly see alcohol in use across a number of settings - we look to wet the baby's head, the F1 driver douses himself in champagne, a cheeky pint after work. Then there are the advertisements - alcohol companies sponsor sporting events, the product placement throughout TV and film, even clothing has familiar brands splashed across it, all painting a glamorous picture of a social lubricant that's all about the fun. However, there's the side that isn't quite as endearing that you don't see models and athletes endorsing...

On the latest episode of Social Harmony - Timd to Talk I'm joined by Jennifer Randall Young, public speaker and host of the podcast and YouTube channel Life With: an Alcoholic, a show that has honest - and often visceral - conversations about loving and living with an alcoholic partner, the impacts that this has on those around, the self-doubt that invades the thoughts and also the work needed to rebuild a life that has been filled with fear and uncertainty.

Jennifer talks openly about the man she fell in love with and the 'Mad Men' culture that encouraged and supported his drinking, watching him develop alcohol-related dementia, the efforts to promote a 'normal' life to outsiders and the stories that were kept hidden until after her husband's passing - including derision from those she thought of as friends and struggles with an insurance system that considered his illness a self-inflicted choice.

While there is undoubtedly a sad element to our conversation, Jennifer's positivity, determination to support others where she found struggle and willingness to leave no stone unturned is one of inspiration and renewal following years spent holding it together for the sake of her family.

And we’re LIVE with the latest episode of Social Harmony - Time to Talk now available for download.

Loneliness can take many forms and its' impacts are wide reaching - but how do we get to this state? And is being alone the same as loneliness? To talk further about this, I'm joined by Daphne Minks - she's a film-maker, former performer, complex trauma survivor and host of 'Dead Air Energies' - a show filmed at Daphne's home, the notoriously haunted Vortex 29.

Living in the Mojave Desert, miles from the nearest town sounds like a recipe for loneliness - but could it also be a means of escape and sanctuary for someone who feels like they need to step away from the world? Daphne talks openly about how she was stalked, had her life threatened and subsequently made choices in her traumatised state that she now sees did not serve her well.

Daphne's story has some uncomfortable chapters and some moments that are hard to hear but her optimism, belief in herself and resilience show a woman who has dealt with some incredible hardships and persevered to become a business owner, presenter and inspiration to anyone who feels as though fear is ruling their life. Talking with humour and a raw honesty that we seldom hear, Daphne details events that have changed her - for good and for bad - whilst also accepting that some of her own choices led her down paths that did not serve her well.
