How to be a good parent when you are depressed?

What is a good parent? Is there different demands or expectations on us as parents when we are depressed?In this episode I explore depression both from the child and the parent perspective.Good parenting has a lot of presence, authenticity, honesty and transparency in it as I see it, and I explore ways how to be all that when we are depressed.I think it's time to realize that depression is more common than cancer and what our children have experienced now during the pandemic can actually reduce our fear and stigma around depression.Let's talk about it!

If the vaccine is the quick fix, what is the long term solution?To live well.Stress and anxiety suppress our immune system, and the best way to fight Covid, or rather, to handle and cope with it, is to strengthen our overall health.A good mental, physical and emotional health makes us less vulnerable, moves us out of risk groups and prepares us for an eventual life crises. #covid #health #wellness #stress #anxiety #recovery #addiction #sobriety #healing #mentalhealth  Hosted on Acast.

DISCLAIMER 1: The sound is not perfect!DISCLAIMER 2: These are my personal standing pointsIn Todays episode I share where I stand in the vaccine mandate situation and what forcing people against their will does to them.Covid is a proof of how trauma, fear, stress and anxiety supresses our immune system, and to violate people when they have a firm NO inside is abuse.If you have a big YES to the vaccine, take it, and respect the ones who has a big NO inside. Don't push their boundaries, as this causes major stress and trauma. Be kind. See the other side. Walk the talk you teach your children.Listen and share with the ones you feel need to listen.

In this episode I inquire into our ability to feel joy for life when we lose people we love. For every loss, do we change inside, does something essential become affected, or do we still have the same capability to feel joy for life without these people? Our "normal" assumption is that someone else will come along and we will be happy again, but is that true? Can we feel the same amount of joy for life, to be alive, with separation happening?Join me in my inquiry and comment on my Instagram @shama_persson, I love to hear what you think! Hosted on Acast.

Happy Ceasefire Day and Happy Podcast Day! 🎉 Do we have a responsibility to the world to show up as our selves? What is the price we pay for putting up a show? And what happens when the real in us is exposed? In today’s episode I explore our responsibility to be authentic, especially when we have a gift or a following. I also look into the imposter syndrome and what the effect this has on us. My conclusion is that if I am myself with you, I am more safe, more relaxed, less afraid. If I pretend to be bigger or better than I am, I’m at risk all the time.Go listen, From Darkness to light, link in my bio. And I look forward to your feet as always.I love you. 💛P.S. I’m so happy for the ceasefire. 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 #podcast #fromdarknesstolight #50andfabulous #love Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ageism is as present as racism and sexism, it's time for a change.In my new episode I turn 9 judgements and/or fears about ageing into an advantage, or I at least question their truth.What if the fear of getting old has more to do about the present moment and or level of happiness and self-love today, than of getting old? The definition of a midlife crises:"Midlife crisis refers to a phase in a middle-aged person's life (usually between the ages of 35 to 65) wherein they feel compelled to face and/or reevaluate their mortality, confidence, identity, and accomplishments." #ageing #ageism #midlifecrises #podcast #fromdarknesstolight Hosted on Acast.

Today’s episode is about social media addiction and the effect Clubhouse has had för me. After four weeks on Clubhouse, I feel stressed, drained, hung over and a bit depressed. I’m not the person who hangs out on social media 24/7, but with Clubhouse I made an exception, I felt this was “my platform”.Finally, voice, the spoken word, real conversations and no longer a written monologue! Link in my bio, From Darkness to Light, available where you normally listen to podcasts, the episode is called Social Media Addiction - Clubhouse. I will follow up the podcast with a room for sharing and reflection probably tomorrow, on Clubhouse of course…! So if you are on Clubhouse and would like to have an honest talk about what Social Media does to us, join me. Love you! #clubhouse #addict # socialmediaaddiction #podcast #fromdarknesstolight #sharingswithshama Hosted on Acast.
