After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 17, and going through hell, and suicidal times, Marie,  found her solution. Marie is now a clinical hormone coach, HRT physician educator, perimenopause and menopause specialist, and speaker with nearly 20 years of professional experience. Marie says "I have worked directly with hormone therapy physicians and patients utilizing the most advanced and cutting-edge hormone replacement therapy approaches on the market."  Marie started the MeNoPause Moxie website and blog to educate women after she realized that women (and doctors) lack knowledge and truth regarding menstrual cycle regulation, PMS, PMDD, perimenopause, and menopause reversal and prevention.  Marie also noticed the lack of education and clinical application training doctors are given in medical school about estrogen and adequate dosed female hormone therapies, and as a result, women are needlessly suffering from mental illness and physical decline at all ages. This is why Marie founded Panacea Scie

I am honoured to share my guest, Richard Brockman MD.  Richard thoughtfully, shares his wealth of knowledge, as well as his very personal story. Richard is a multi-faceted and multi-talented gentleman. When Richard Brockman found his mother’s body, the simple narrative of his childhood ended. His new book-Life After Death tells the story of a boy who died and of a man who survived when the boy and the man are one and the same. It tells a very personal—yet tragically common—story of irredeemable loss. It tells the story of story itself. How story forms. How it grows. How it changes. How it can be broken. And finally, how sometimes it can be repaired. Now an expert in genetics, epigenetics, and the biology of attachment, Brockman chronicles his evolution from a child overwhelmed by trauma to a man who has struggled to reclaim his past. He lays bare the core of one who is both victim and healer. By weaving together childhood despair and clinical knowledge, Brockman shows how the shattered pieces of the self—th

This is part one of a large segment of my journey, and the  understanding that comes from learning you need to lay to rest a part of you that was lost long ago...

Be sure to tune in, to hear his story and all he has learned from this tragedy early in life.     We have more amazing guests coming up for you. Each one offers their form of hope, as they share their stories.    Remeber that if you or someone you know has a story to share you can email guest@szf42.com.   I hope this segment of my story offers you a take away, a bit of hope perhaps.. Thank you for listening  Elaine

Honoured to speak with a deeply committed, empathetic gentleman who lives here in Ottawa.  Our talk covers so much centered around Don's attention to serving those in need.  Here, I offer his bio in his own words... "A little bit about me and my life. I was born in 1953 and raised in Ottawa, Canada’s Capital. I’m married to Lauren, the love of my life. We have 5 kids, 9 grandkids, 2 active dogs, we work from home, we love to travel and are proud to say we are foodies. I have over 3 decades of recovery from Alcohol and Drug addiction under my belt.   While A.A. educated me in the areas of self love, codependency, healthy boundaries and such, there were areas in my life that just never quite felt complete to me and I could never really put my finger on it until I was introduced to The Grief Recovery Method by an amazing friend who was interested in it for his role as a Chaplain with his Outreach Ministry here in Ottawa. Capital City Mission. (shameless plug) The lights went on for me when I began to understand

“After such a tragic death, it is possible to get to a place of peace and joy again, but to do so, we have to ride the emotional waves that include feelings of anger or resentment, whether toward our loved one who has died or others involved. Early on, I was told that this grief process is like riding a surfboard on choppy waters. Sometimes they calm down, and other times we are gasping for air. No matter what, we need to ride those waves and embrace the whole journey. Only then can we get to a place of peace.”  ~Alexandra Wyman   Alexandra Wyman is an advocate and public speaker for resources in the aftermath of suicide.
