58: Koa Hughes - Mental Illness Doesn't Have To Be A Lonely Journey
“My mental health journey has been long and hard. I have dealt with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma and my eventual diagnosis of bipolar II disorder. Talking about it is hard. Writing about it is hard. Admitting how bad it got is hard because I never really thought that my mental health would impact my ability to mother. I never thought that I would struggle so much with my own mental health that it would impact my children.” - Koa Hughes (The Great Canadian Woman; Vol 2) As a mother, Koa discusses the importance of leading the next generation when it comes to talking about mental health and learning how to listen to our bodies. Admit to yourself and then to your doctor if you’re struggling. Koa was referred to a psychiatrist which supported her wellness journey. It’s normal to be upset about your diagnosis and medications. You can’t just rely on medication or at least if you put in the effort on self care practices you will reach optimum health. Counselling can be beneficial. When you’ve lived in manic state it can be difficult to recognize what “normal” feeling good looks like. Celebrate the journey and how far you have come from where you started, even the little things along the way. You CAN be okay. You CAN be happy. You CAN live with a mental illness and live well. Sleep is one of the number one things you need to be on top of. Sleep routine impacts mental wellness immensely. Ask for support and find support that’s going to help you. It doesn’t have to be a lonely journey. It can be people over the internet as well. Follow people who make you feel good. Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s. Bio: You can usually find Koa pounding away on her computer, writing books, blogs and growing her Instagram following as a Mental Health Advocate. Koa is a Published Author in the books, The Great Canadian Woman Vol 1 & 2 where she discusses how to not only survive, but thrive, with major mental illness, as well as how to navigate parenting while managing mental illness. Koa's formal education came in the form of a Bachelor's Degree with a double major in Psychology and Indigenous Studies and she is currently studying too become a Registered Counsellor. Koa uses her education to help her better understand how to help men and women face and overcome their own adversity. Adversity is something Koa knows well. Before becoming an Executive, Author, and blogger, Koa had been lost; hopelessly adrift in a sea of abuse, trauma, limiting beliefs and mental illness diagnoses. An unhappy combination of medication and booze kept her afloat. Through immense growth, Koa has taken on the belief that she was allowing all of her adversity to take place, and in order to grow, she had to become her own solution. Now, Koa spends much of her time advocating for others who suffer with mental illness by normalizing mental illness. She believes that those who suffer with mental illness shouldn’t shrink themselves to fit the life of a sick person, and instead mental illness can be embraced and accepted as a positive.

Receiving a diagnosis that an aortic aneurysm is present in your body, is something no one ever wants to hear. Even for Shelby Kurz who was born with a heart defect and has been closely monitored her whole life, it's still a tough pill to swallow. Shelby shares her experience of first learning of her diagnosis back in May and what it means for her going forward. *Update: Since this episode was recorded, Shelby has seen a surgeon and it was made clear that her previous scans to measure the aneurysm were not clear enough to determine the size of dilation, and currently it is small enough to avoid surgery for now. **Side Note: Shelby totally manifested this happening months ago as she wrote her script to plan out her months ahead. ***Extra Side Note: This is your reminder to begin writing your own life scripts, and if you don't understand what this means, reach out to us! Shout Out to Steph Gold and Sarah Kleiner once again, as they are so often referenced on the show. Bio: Shelby Kurz is a board certified nurse coach currently living in Austin, Tx.

Alana experienced a bit of a bumpy ride throughout her pregnancy, especially within the final weeks. In this episode we learn what Puppp is, and how we do not wish that upon any woman during pregnancy. Alana Krzysztofik (Chris-toff-ick) is a first time mom living in Kitchener with her husband Nick, 7 month old daughter Brielle, their dog Wilfrid, and cat Pekoe. They love to spend time outside, exploring trails around their neighbourhood and are looking forward to getting back to normalized socializing with their friends and family. Alana is a grade 5/6 French Immersion teacher in Waterloo. She is loving mat leave but is also excited to see her staff and students again when she returns to work in September. Alana has loved each baby stage so far but is truly enjoying watching Brielle change, grow, and learn so much so quickly at this age. Her pregnancy experience was quite the emotional rollercoaster as it wasn’t always smooth sailing. She hopes that from her story other moms will take away that it is good to have a plan, but it is more than ok if your birth doesn’t follow that path. In her experience, Alana knew that she had a lot of factors to consider, and just having a safe delivery for both her and her baby was her plan. She wants other moms to know that while pregnancy is amazing, beautiful and scary all at once, the unknowns to us as new moms are the “knowns” to our midwives, OBs and nurses. Trust the process, ask lots of questions, and lean on your support system. Alana is more than happy to talk to anyone about their experience, or answer any questions. Instagram:

Diana Tulumba shares valuable insight from when she prepared for the natural birth of her son. Her concerns, fears, challenges, research and mindset, that all played a part throughout each stage of her pregnancy and beyond, as she navigates motherhood in this new chapter of life. Bio: I am a Long Island girl living in Austin Texas with my husband Pete and our sons Jack and Charlie (the furry one). My life consists of writing, coaching, mom and wife-ing. My intention daily is to stay present and open to life and my inner guidance. I don't know where I will be five years from now, but I know it'll be better than I can think of today. There is a lot of useless anxiety pervading us women and so I always end my bio with my favorite quote from A Course in Miracles... “There is a way of living in the world that is not here, although it seems to be. You do not change appearance, though you smile more frequently. Your forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet.” Diana Tulumba, CTNC References shared in this episode: Each week I would read from MamaNatural’s Book to see what was going on with my baby and what I could do or expect. It was so helpful because it allowed me to just focus in on certain things without being overwhelmed by the plethora of information out there. I trusted I would get to everything I needed to know in the right timing so I didn’t stress that I didn’t know everything off the bat. I also mentioned this book Mystical Motherhood which grew my relationship and love for my son before he ever arrived. Each morning I listened to Gabby Bernstein’s birthing affirmations Raspberry Leaf Tea. Here is an article with more info. Dates! Here is an article from Evidence Based Birth (they also have a podcast) which explains the dates and cites the studies. Dr. Shefali’s book really helped me to love the season I’m in with my baby and not try so hard to be the “old” me but embrace it all for the beauty of the new now. Life is all change anyway right? Sit on an exercise ball to get the baby in the right position. I don’t know if it worked but my baby was in the right position for birth and I sat on it often. Here’s an article.

Sue, not-so-secretly, wishes that Amanda and her family would move to London so they could be neighbours, and their daughters could become BFF's, and they would all live happily ever after. Amanda Cooke, BA (sp. Hon), RMT, has a degree in Kinesiology and a background in fitness. She became a Registered Massage Therapist in 2011 and began practice at a busy multidisciplinary clinic in Mid-town Toronto where she practiced for 5 years doing both family and corporate wellness. She had her first child in 2014 and became much more interested in the perinatal world of Massage Therapy. In 2016 Amanda moved her practice to the East end and started working more and more with prenatal clients, postpartum women, and children. She had her second child in 2017 and took a break from practice to stay home with her two children and work with her husband on their growing continuing education company, ConEd Institute. After being a stay at home Mom for over a year, Amanda missed connecting with clients and decided to start a small private practice focusing a lot on women and prenatal and even took a course to become a Labour Support Doula. She attended her first birth in 2019 and cannot wait to be able to connect with more women going through this incredible journey.
