    Episode 64: Early Empowerment of Mental Well-Being in Our Youth with Dr. Marie Dona
    May 19 2025
    In this episode with Dr. Marie Donna, we talk about why kids’ mental health matters and how early support can change everything. Dr. Donna shares how anxiety, depression, and ADHD can show up as tummy aches or behavior changes. We also talk about the power of kind words, curiosity, and how raising emotionally healthy kids starts with us. Key Takeaways: Mental Health Is Primary Care - Mental health deserves the same priority as physical health and shouldn’t be treated as an afterthought or a specialty service. When we view mental wellness as part of our routine care, early intervention becomes possible, even before visible symptoms arise. Kids Show Stress Differently - Children often express anxiety or depression through stomach aches, headaches, or changes in behavior. Since they may not have the language to explain how they feel, it's important for parents to pay attention, ask thoughtful questions, and make it safe for kids to talk about what’s going on. Vulnerability Builds Trust - When parents share their own experiences with sadness or mental health, it helps children feel safe to open up. This kind of honest conversation can lead to early support and connection, reminding kids they’re not alone in what they’re feeling. Look Beyond the Behavior - What looks like misbehavior is often a child’s response to trauma or unmet mental health needs. Early intervention, understanding their background, and recognizing the signs of conditions can shift the narrative from blame to support. The Impact of Self-Belief on a Child's Performance - When children begin to believe they are "dumb" or a "problem," it can severely affect their motivation and performance. Parents should listen closely to their child's self-talk and address any negative beliefs early. How Therapy Supports Early Emotional Wellness - Therapy is not just for crises. It can be a regular check-in that helps children feel safe, heard, and supported. When done early and consistently, it encourages open conversations and addresses issues before they grow. Helpful Resource: Addressing Bias and Encouraging Open Communication - Sometimes, teachers may have biased views that affect how they see a child. Parents should ask their child what happened to hear their side of the story, helping clear up misunderstandings and ensure their child feels heard. Parents Must Do Their Inner Work - Breaking cycles of trauma starts with parents doing their own healing so they can listen better and support their children more wisely. Notable Highlights: "Mental health should be a primary care. It's treated like it's specialty care, but it really should be primary care." "People's mental health, their well-being is such a huge contributing factor to someone's life, their overall enjoyment of it, their ability to live through it." About Dr. Marie Dona Dr. Marie R. Dona is a triple board-certified psychiatrist who works with children, teens, adults, and women during and after pregnancy. She treats a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and more. With years of training and experience in hospitals and mental health settings, Dr. Dona provides thoughtful, personalized care to people of all backgrounds.

  • Episode 63: Behind Identity: Why People Resist Change

    Episode 63: Behind Identity: Why People Resist Change
    May 12 2025

    In this episode, I talk about the role of identity in how we relate to change, communication, and each other. I share how identity is not something we are born with, but something shaped over time through the beliefs we inherit, the values we are taught, and the behaviors that are modeled to us. When we understand identity as something constructed, we begin to see why people often resist change. It is not always about the change itself. It is about the fear of losing who we think we are.

    I walk through the developmental stages of identity formation and explain how belonging becomes a central part of our survival brain. When our place in a group feels uncertain, the nervous system reacts as if it is unsafe. That reaction impacts how we communicate and how we show up in conversations. I share examples of what happens when our identities are challenged and how these moments often trigger defensiveness, avoidance, or resistance.

    Key Takeaways:

    What Is Identity? – We aren’t born knowing who we are. From childhood, we absorb beliefs, values, and behaviors from our families, schools, and communities. Over time, these shape our sense of identity.

    Our Identity Makes Us Feel Safe

    Even if we built it without realizing, identity gives us stability. It helps us know who we are, where we belong, and what we stand for. That’s why any threat to it can feel dangerous.

    Identity and Belonging

    Our sense of self and belonging is tied to the groups we are a part of. In the past, being part of a group was essential for survival, as straying from the pack could be dangerous. This need for belonging is still deeply rooted in us today.

    Threat to Identity = Threat to Security

    When someone's identity is challenged, it feels like a threat to their security and place in the world. The brain reacts to this threat as it would to physical danger, which can lead to defensive behaviors and resistance to change.

    Helpful Resources (Questions for Reflection):

    • Where in my life do I feel a threat to my identity or role?
    • What am I afraid of losing or not receiving?
    • How can my identity grow to include something new while honoring where I have come from?
    • What support or development do I need to feel grounded in this growth?

  • Episode 62: Beyond Burnout: The Role of Food, Sleep, and Exercise in Leadership and Well-being

    Episode 62: Beyond Burnout: The Role of Food, Sleep, and Exercise in Leadership and Well-being
    May 6 2025
    In this episode with Dr. Lwanga, we unpack how small, intentional changes—starting with what and when we eat—can transform our energy, focus, and long-term health. Dr. Lwanga shares her own journey from medical training to attending life, the lessons she’s learned about honoring her body, and how strategic shifts in nutrition, sleep, and movement helped her regain control over cravings, energy dips, and burnout. Tune in as we discuss practical strategies for managing your health amidst a demanding career, the importance of accountability, and the role of rest in sustaining long-term success. Key Takeaways: The Importance of Eating Regularly – Skipping meals, especially breakfast, is a common habit, but it negatively impacts energy and metabolism. Starting the day with a nutritious, high-protein breakfast helps sustain energy throughout the day and supports better decision-making and mental performance. Listen to Your Body's Needs – Taking breaks and listening to your body’s hunger and fatigue cues is essential. When you prioritize rest, food, and hydration, you’ll have more energy and clarity, making you more efficient and effective in your roles. Exercise Myths and Busyness – Exercise doesn’t have to be time-consuming or expensive. Walking is a simple and effective way to get your workout in. Whether it’s during a podcast, a prayer walk, or even while watching Netflix, you can multitask and still make time for physical activity. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIT) – HIIT workouts are effective for building and maintaining muscle. However, they should be done in moderation, as they can increase inflammation and hunger. A well-planned HIT session of 10-15 minutes can provide great results without overwhelming your body. The Importance of Sleep for Health- Sleep is vital for health, particularly in high-stress jobs. Poor sleep can lead to long-term issues like diabetes and heart disease, while also increasing stress hormones, insulin resistance, and hunger. Prioritizing sleep is key to overall well-being. Impact of Sleep on Hormones - Sleep influences several important hormones in the body. Lack of sleep can increase cortisol (stress hormone), insulin resistance, and ghrelin (hunger hormone), leading to higher stress, weight gain, and poor food choices. It's a reminder that sleep isn’t just about feeling rested; it impacts overall health. Stress and Food Cravings - If you find yourself craving food at odd hours or eating unhealthy foods, ask yourself: are you really hungry, or are you tired or stressed? Managing stress and ensuring adequate sleep can help reduce these cravings. Helpful Resource: The Importance of Accountability – Having someone to hold you accountable can make a huge difference in sticking to a fitness routine. Whether it’s helping you resist unhealthy food temptations or encouraging you during tough times, an accountability partner can keep you on track toward your goals. Enjoying Treats Without Guilt - It’s important to give yourself permission to enjoy treats in moderation without guilt. Planning for your "cheat day" can help maintain a healthy balance between enjoyment and discipline. Notable Highlights: "It is the way to eat properly and take care of myself, makes me a better person, first of all." "It’s the discipline of doing that and undoing what we were taught that we're not supposed to take care of ourselves that is counterintuitive, but when you're able to implement it, you'll do your work faster, you'll have more energy, and you are, you feel more authentic because you're practicing what you preach." "Select foods that fly, that walk, that swim, and grow that way." "Sleep is so essential, not only does it help us consolidate our memories so we make good decisions." "Our body remembers well, even if you've come out of those environments, there’s always going to be times of stress." "The best advice I tell people is walk." "Stress releases cortisol, and cortisol is the antithesis of what you want in your body if you're trying to bring your weight down." About Dr. Anita Lwanga Dr. Anita Lwanga is an Exercise Physiologist, General Internist and Geriatrician and assistant professor of General Internal Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Lwanga’s mission is to provide compassionate and holistic care.
