Turn On with Claire Darnell

What is truly possible when it comes to healing? Or when desiring change in life? I dare to say almost anything. Our bodies are programmed to heal, and I believe that Life wants to serve us, if we choose to be at service of Life. I am sharing this as someone who literally made a 180-degree turn from only 4 weeks to live to stepping into turned on life and being healed from terminal cancer. So, what if you would choose to lean into life instead of leaning away from life? The choice is yours.

Rest is not a sign of weakness or laziness. In fact, rest is something that everyone should need to prioritize more. Athletes and people who train more than just basic everyday movement, know that there is too kind of rest. Passive and active. And both are needed. Our wicked world has made pushing and being productive 24/7 as something we need to strive for, while the statistics of chronic pain and mental health issues are skyrocketing. When we do not get enough of high quality rest, the oxidative stress, hormonal imbalances and inflammation are issues we are welcoming in to be a part of our every day reality. If You struggle with your health and wellbeing on any plane, rest should be something to prioritize. Rest is one of the most important things for nervous system regulation, right next to nourishment, hydration, body awareness and control, safe relationships and economics. Rest is and should be as important piece of self-care as physical, and mental training or taking care of your hygiene. It's time to trash that belief that rest is a waste of time. Now, Let's chat!

As we were driving back home from our Fathers day celebration, I got the urge to record an episode about manhood and fatherhood with my life partner, men's coach and father and bonus father to my children, Tomas Hellén. Both super tired so all the guards down and this became a bit longer episode and also quite unfiltered. If you desire to connect with Tomas, you can find him on Instagram @manskaptomas or reach out to him through email [email protected]. Let us know what your thoughts about this episode.

Did you know that there is hierarchy in healing? Brain is one of the most important parts to support when embarking to a healing journey. There is so much more to our brains than the cognitive capacity and the awareness. Our brains are not just what we got gifted and that life, trauma and stress has molded it to be, but the brain is changeable. I share some really easy and yet mind-blowing things about why brain is on top the hierarchy of healing. Stay tuned on my website for events and news!

Turn on Life takes us to the talk through being Ready when being Ready. Too many of us are so used to push ourselves even in healing, so we just end up being in loops of burn-outs and overwhelmed. Where is the point in that? What if we could give ourselves the permission to take baby steps and proper integration in between? You have that permission! And You are welcome.

Too often, we miss out to see our bodies as whole. When we experience pain, we blindly focus on that pain area and can not see that there are important missing pieces. Often and I want to highlight OFTEN, the problem with pelvic and lower back region, is at the very foundation; in our feet. Yes, in our feet! The strength and mobility of your feet and ankles, are straight forward in relationship to how is the health and vitality of your knees, hips pelvis and spine. Listen to this episode and take a moment to investigate how this resonates in your own body. Have a lovely moment of discovery!

Your answer might be a No, but how often happen it that we damn the pains and struggle we experience with it. In this episode, I speak more into the war towards womb and victimhood of being a woman. And this could be related to any pain pattern you struggle with. Pain and discomfort is the voice of our bodies. It is the body's way of speaking to you about its needs and boundaries. Isn't it time to end the war towards our own bodies and start to facilitate a more loving relationship to what we are? It is a choice, you know...

As me and Mr were celebrating 18 years as married last Sunday, I wanted to speak about relating. And specially I wanted to share my thoughts about deeply and truly choosing each other, and that being part of a journey of devotion. This journey has been eye-opening because it changed the way I looked at love and relationships. The truth is that Love without Respect ain't worth much. Take a listen. xx Karoliina

September is the month of Suicide Awareness. As I do honor my roots and where I come from, I want to speak about choosing to exit life and choosing life. Suicides are a heavy package we have been carrying in our family for generations. I am openly sharing my own experiences growing up with this topic openly on the table, shadowing my sense of safety and how this has been coloring the way I have navigated life. Suicides are very often a shameful trade that runs in families. While I want to highlight that the shame is as much a generational burden as the act of suicide itself. As I have been experiencing deep suicidal periods myself, I do want to share that the shame is not ours to carry, it is a shame that we lack the necessary support networks to lean into; that do not shame or gaslight. In the end of this episode, I share some of the tools that has been helpful for me and many of my peers struggling with deep levels of anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Please share this with others, we never know who needs to hear this. Much love and appreciation! email me to [email protected] website: karoliinahellen.com
