Embracing Simplicity: Mindful Practices for Better Mental Well-being

The Hemp Del Soul Podcast

Is mindfulness the key to navigating our turbulent times? Join us for a compelling conversation with Marilisa Lawless, a distinguished marriage and family therapist with a wealth of experience in trauma therapy, addictions, hypnotherapy, Reiki, and herbalism. Marilisa offers invaluable insights on embracing mindfulness and simple yet powerful practices like deep breathing to maintain mental well-being. She also delves into the transformative power of silent retreats and the importance of attuning to your body’s needs through individualized approaches to diet and health. Forget the myths about meditation being complicated—Marilisa reveals how its simplicity can be accessible to everyone.
But what happens when mindfulness isn't enough? In this episode, we tackle the difficult yet crucial topic of seeking help during mental health crises. We discuss how anonymous hotlines like the national 988 suicide hotline and Broward County's 211 service provide a lifeline for those who prefer not to confide in family members. These resources offer 24/7 access to live counselors, ensuring that no one has to endure their struggles alone. This conversation highlights the urgent need for mental health first responders to be as readily available as medical professionals, creating a support network that can make the difference between hope and despair. Tune in for a deeply informative and potentially life-changing discussion.
