    Navigating Grief and Mental Health with Dr. Monica Krishnan

    Navigating Grief and Mental Health with Dr. Monica Krishnan

    Have you ever felt the weight of the world's expectations pressing down on you, whispering that who you are isn't enough? Join me, Michelle Rios, as I sit down with Dr. Monica Krishnan, who shares her transformative journey toward authenticity, peeling back the layers of societal and familial pressures to embrace the joy of being true to oneself. We delve into Monica's heartrending rebirth through the grief of losing her husband, and how she channeled her resilience into advocacy, lighting the way for others navigating their darkest hours.

    Loss and healing often intertwine, leading us down paths to discover our core identity and life's purpose. This episode isn't just about facing life's relentless pressures; it's about finding hope and empowerment in them. Dr. Krishnan's experiences with Eastern spirituality and the profound silence of a Vipassana retreat illustrate the shifts that can occur when we are brave enough to sit with discomfort and listen to the whispers of our souls. The journey we embark on here is one of spirituality and self-discovery, a conversation that challenges us to consider our own spiritual awakenings and the universal connections that bind us.

    As we wrap up this profound and moving episode, we reflect on how embracing our natural gifts and the lessons learned through adversity can guide us toward an extraordinary life. Stay connected and join our supportive community as we eagerly anticipate Dr. Krishnan's upcoming children's book, which promises to further inspire resilience and joy. Together, we are reminded that we are not just humans on a spiritual journey, but spiritual beings on a human journey—each with our own extraordinary story to tell.

    Keep Rising with Kristy Kuhl

    Keep Rising with Kristy Kuhl

    In this week's episode of the Live Your Extraordinary Life podcast, I sit down with Mindset Coach Kristy Kuhl for an engaging conversation about what it means to live an extraordinary life; the role of authenticity and alignment; and how taking action is essential to success.

    Kristy shares that when she left the familiar corridors of corporate America to pursue entrepreneurship, it wasn't just a career move—it was a declaration of independence. She recounts her journey through a challenging divorce and the life-changing insight that set her on a path to authenticity. Our conversation peels back the layers of living in alignment with one's true self and the unmistakable signs that either beckon you forward or warn you you're off track.

    If you're feeling stuck or just need some inspiration, this episode with Kristy is a must listen!  From the non-negotiables that keep us in alignment such as gratitude rituals, physical wellness, and those precious pockets of fun and connection — to the rest that is so essential to keep us fueled — to the messy action that's needed to move us forward,  we cover it all. These insights provide a roadmap for anyone feeling adrift in the sea of day-to-day demands, longing for more balance and intention. Join us as we equip you with the tools to shake off stagnation and leap toward the life you've always imagined.
