Kim Sargent explores her personal walk with Alzheimer's and her Mother's diagnosis and decline. Alzheimer's is a dreaded disease that plagues nearing 50% of the population above age 85.  These numbers matter because we are living on average to 90 and the struggles, even for perfect strangers who might need our assistance, are a very real part of our communities. This disease has taken root 30+ years before the symptoms appear.  Let's talk about Alzheimer's. Let's grow comfortable with the conversation and let's make brain health a priority in prevention.

How to Make Them Love You More?

Well that got your attention now, didn't it? And it certainly is a popular topic in our counselling practice, although often not quite as clear and concise as all that.  What we want from another human is entirely dependent upon our ability to give that very thing, to ourselves.  In this podcast, Kim explores building the habit of self-love as a means to showing the brain just exactly how it's done.

We are all hooked on the way we feel as the fuel we use to operate our daily lives.  Sometimes we get hooked on emotions that run our nerves ragged and we feel reckless, depleted or even shut down completely.  But we can also get hooked on happiness.  Our brains are chemical factories and our bodies run on this fuel day and night, so it's a beautiful thing to learn just what fuels you.

**We apologize that the audio is not perfect but the message is important

Kim introduces the conversation of death and dying following a recent at-home palliative care experience with dear friends.  There is immense beauty in this sacred space.

How can we do better with this conversation?  While various cultures within our Canadian borders do very well with death and dying, for the most part, we fall silent.  We're too uncomfortable and afraid of saying something that might cause pain.  What if we opened up the conversation and fumbled our way through, in spite of our discomfort?  We can do better with this conversation.

Finding Purpose is about sourcing our clean-burning fuel.  Our emotions are what run the show.  If we're hooked on a low crude-oil variety like Despair, Fear, or Anger, we're not feeling so inspired.  When we find purpose, we're hooked on happiness.  Kim explores her own past passions, stripping away what is no longer relevant and re-inventing the present.  Learn also about Project H and its mission to make East City Peterborough the Healthiest Happiest most Harmonious Village on Earth by 2030.  Hint:  Think small.  But enviable, scaleable small.
