Episode Summary:In this insightful episode, we explore the relationship between holistic mental health, anxiety, and relationship coaching. Our guest, Lilly Rachels delves into the role of emotions, medication, stress, and personal growth in shaping our mental and relational well-being. We discuss the societal tendency to suppress emotions, the over-reliance on medication without accompanying therapy, and how shifting our mindset about discomfort can help build resilience. We discuss how relationships can falter by not following sound self-care principles such as eating well and exercising, and using motivational interviewing in relationships.

Key Topics Covered:

• The impact of antidepressants on emotional regulation

• The importance of experiencing and understanding all emotions, rather than suppressing them

• Medication as a temporary tool rather than a long-term solution

• The societal discomfort with unpleasant emotions and how to reframe them as signals rather than problems

• The role of stress in personal growth and resilience, distinguishing between distress and eustress

• The benefits of yoga and mindfulness in developing self-awareness and emotional resilience

• The historical shift from holistic health practices to modern Western medicine

• The pressures placed on romantic relationships and the misconceptions about love "healing" past trauma

• How understanding childhood relationships can provide insight into romantic relationship patterns

Memorable Quotes:

• "Pills don’t teach skills."

• "Being uncomfortable isn’t bad for you—it’s a signal for growth."

• "You’re not going to meet someone who can love the trauma out of you."

• "Holistic health was the norm for centuries—only recently did we shift away."
