Many people have heard of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, but did you know that it has a cousin called ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy? While both are behavior-based therapies, CBT helps you identify and change negative thoughts, while ACT enables you to accept your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
By moving forward through difficult emotions, you put your energy into healing instead of dwelling on the negative. You learn to take committed action in the direction of what you care about, even in the presence of obstacles.
On our latest podcast episode, we chatted with Netherland-based coach and psychologist Miriam Jager on the power of positive psychology and ACT.

Starting over in life is not easy, whether pursuing a new career path or relationship. But there is magic when you take the courage to go after something you believe in. Simu Liu famously left his job at Deloitte to pursue acting, which his parents thought was a pipe dream. Now, he's a Marvel Super Hero and gracing international publications and silver screens. Can we all have what we truly want? When is the right time to pursue that goal or dream career, and when should you give up and quit?
In this podcast episode, we chatted with Money Mindset coach Debbie Chen and Innerwork Life Coach Tiffany Lin on their respective entrepreneurial journeys.
Listen out for:
How being bold is easier than building a business
How Tiffany took out a $20K loan to invest in herself when she was only making $30K a year (listen to see how that turned out!)
How Debbie held space for THP Co-Founder Diana and helped her land her dream client in just 2 months
How do you know when you're on the right path
How to test the water and see if you can turn a passion into a viable career

Is it possible to love your menstrual cycle? According to Hormone Yoga Therapy Teacher & Practitioner Corrine Mcnally, it is!
In this episode, we chatted with Corrine on HYT, a yoga method originating from Brazil that consists of a sequence of 21 postures and focuses on the sex glands. Practicing it a few times a week can help with hormonal imbalances, including improvements to PMS and perimenopausal symptoms such as cramps, back pain, irritability, weight gain, digestive issues, acne, and insomnia. It also helps with fertility challenges and relieve stress and anxiety.
Corrine discovered HYT when she was going through perimenopause (when your body starts transitioning to menopause) and was noticing migraines, brain fog, joint paints. When her doctor recommended birth control pills and Hormone Replacement Therapy, she took it upon herself to find a solution that didn't feel like a bandaid to her symptoms. She travelled to Chile and learned the method from Brazilian psychologist and Yoga therapist Dinah Rodrigues and is sharing this method with women (and men) all over the world.
If you're interested in HYT but unsure whether it's the right fit for you, book a free discovery call with Corrine. HYT is not recommended for women who are pregnant or within 6 months of postpartum.

Fun fact: Lily is a Bob Proctor consultant and was trained by Bob Proctor himself!
Dr. Azad John-Salimi is a clinical physician and a burnout coach. The experience of not 2 burnouts from his work in medicine and the informal wellness coaching he's been providing to his clients spurred the desire to restore balance into his life and help others do the same.
In this inspiring episode, we dig deep into what burnout is, the shame and guilt that often arise in taking breaks, how rest is a form of resistance and a fundamental divine human right, how to find balance in the hustle corporate culture, and the severe danger of sleep deprivation.
In our first episode, THP Co-Founder Diana chats with Hypnotherapist and Life Change Coach Celine Lim on the power of hypnosis in changing our mindsets and our lives. She shares how she helps her clients bring their subconsciousness out to play and how hypnotherapy releases our saboteur patterns. She also talks about some of the limiting beliefs immigrants and children of immigrants might have and what they can do to re-shift their beliefs and start living lives that align with their most truest desires.
