#02 - Sheena Grobb: Music, Healing and Emotional Expression

1h 5m · Turn Yourself Up Podcast · 05 Dec 06:01

I met Sheena this summer at the I AM Festival and immediately fell in love with her voice, authenticity and loveliness. Sheena Grobb is a self-described song bird. She is a singer-songwriter, speaker and health coach with a background teaching in high schools. Her voice has been compared to greats like Sarah McLachlan and Norah Jones, with a delicacy which is almost a whisper at times that creates a sound so sweet and unique that is unmistakably hers. Sheena was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when she was 16-years-old and has learned to overcome some of her symptoms and struggles by listening to her body, learning how to express and feel her emotions and taking care of herself. After opening up about her journey with MS in her TEDx Talk last year, she has seen the value in helping others by sharing her story for encouragement, inspiration and hope. Sheena is passionate about emotional education and the healing that can come from learning how to feel and express our selves. We get into her experience with MS and learning to process her emotions. Her creative process and finding her style. How to communicate with your friends and family when rage or anger might be the emotion that needs to come out and much more - Sheena was dropping emotional knowledge bombs all over the place! Some of the take-aways from this episode are: Telling your story can be really beneficial to others and to ourselves Listening to your body and understanding what feelings are coming up is important. They don't always have to be happy and positive. Crying can be a natural way to process our emotions that society has trained us to avoid. How to develop your own creative voice by letting go of judgement and expectation. How our biases and prejudices of others can show us how we are judging ourselves. What is the Bio-Emotive framework and how can we communicate our emotions with our loved ones? In a relationship, both people need to feel honoured and have a chance to express themselves.

Jessica Speaks on Receiving a Diagnosis of Bipolar, Depression, and Mania

Inspired by #BellLetsTalk day, I wanted to share a bit about my own mental health and personal development journey. In April 2020, shortly after the pandemic hit North America, in the stress and chaos of it all, I experienced a manic episode, was hospitalized for a few weeks, and received a diagnosis of Bipolar I Disorder.

I haven’t found a lot of pleasant, hopeful, and uplifting, resources out there about Bipolar, so I hope this can be both educational and also inspirational for you in your own mental well-being journey.

I haven’t found a lot of pleasant, hopeful, and uplifting, resources out there about Bipolar, so I hope this can be both educational and also inspirational for you in your own mental well-being journey.

I will dive into what Bipolar is, how I experience it, and what others can do to support those who have it (or really any mental/emotional condition).

The definition I read on Bipolar is from the National Institute of Mental Health from the US and can be found here.

If you are in Manitoba, the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba is a great first resource to educate and support you and your loved ones in mental health.

If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or self-harming thoughts reach out for support. To loved ones, trusted allies, your doctor, or the numerous helplines available, provincially and nationally. All else fails, there is always 911.

Living Your Best Life within the 2020 Pandemic

We were so shocked at first. Being scared to go to the grocery store. Thinking people wearing masks were overly precautious; then to find that wearing masks has become our new normal. Living in a society where we can only gather in groups of 5 or less (or whatever the legislation is at the time). We have become accustomed to keeping our distance from strangers, upholding the honor system if we are sick, and canceling plans.
