As we transition back to school, adapt to new schedules, and embrace the seasonal change, join Sammy and Kristen as they delve into the importance of integrating self-care into your daily routine.

This month we are celebrating 10 years of The Holistic Heart! 🎉 So for this episode, Kristen and Sammy discuss this exciting milestone and some highlights along the journey. Listen in and celebrate with us - we wouldn't be here without you!

If you have been listening in for any amount of time, then you know holism is at the core of our values and worldview around here. It's so important, in fact, that we made it part of our name! So what's all the fuss about? Why holistic? Listen in as Sammy and Kristen chat all about it. 

We're continuing our focus on the theme of community connection! In this episode, Sammy and Kristen are joined by HH clinician and Head of Education & Training, Lauren Boulanger for a chat about the HH internship program and how it serves as a bridge to the larger local community.

We're putting extra focus on community connection at HH for the months of April-June, and thought it would be great to have some guests on the podcast from our very own HH community to share their brilliance. In this episode, Sammy and Kristen are joined by HH clinician and certified yoga teacher, Sam Rose for a chat about the ways that yoga can support mental health and well-being.

In this episode Kristen and Sammy continue the transformation conversation by exploring the topics of symbolism, imagery, and metaphor as they relate to mental health. As Kristen mentions in the episode, accessing these layers of experience is one way to go deeper with your therapeutic work - listen in to learn how.

Inspired by Kayleah's workshop offering this month and the recent Valentine's Day holiday, we decided to talk about self love in this episode - but from a different lens. Tying in some of the winter themes we discussed last episode of deconstruction and creation, Kristen and Sammy talk through some less traditional ideas of what self love can look like.

We're baaaaccckkk!!! And so excited to be!! Kristen and Sammy are kicking things off by diving right in with a deep discussion about transformation. Winter is a time of pulling back, turning inward, assessing, deconstructing... and we are talking about it all. Get cozy, pop in your headphones, and join us :)
