Holistic Healers: Recent Episodes
Morgan Rutkowski
Interested in reinventing the way you think about your health? A holistic approach to your mental, physical, and spiritual health can guide you towards becoming the most authentic verison of yourself.
Our healthcare system is littered with systemic issues that are often (intentionally) not talked about. So, let's start a conversation about it! Today, I have Abby Brockman on the podcast who is a Jewish board-certified clinical trauma chaplain. She received her Masters of Divinity from Boston University's School of Theology, completed her clinical residency at the Seattle VA hospital, and worked as a staff chaplain for many years at Seattle Children's Hospital in their Cancer Care Unit, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and In-patient Psychiatric Unit. She specializes in trauma, grief and loss, and end-of-life work and recently started her own private practice to provide spiritual care. Her work is deeply informed by an anti-oppression ethic and advocates for a systemic lens/ power analysis in all of her conversations about mental health and wellness. And, she believes there are gateways to holiness everywhere! For More Information about Abby Brockman:Instagram: @abby.brockman

Just like all interventions we can use to better our health, we all have our preferences. Some we like and some we don't and that is different for everyone. For me and my clients, tarot can be another great avenue to uncover stuckness and get guidance. Today, I go over the basics of tarot readings, cards, and what you need to know to get started! And, at the end, I pull a message for you! Did you connect with it? Let's get into it!--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/morgan-rutkowski/support
As we all know, holistics emphasizes understanding people in their entirety. It is about prioritizing someone's background, culture, mental health, physical health, and so on equally with unconditional positive regard. However, holistics needs to be expanded further- specifically to past or current offenders apart of the criminal justice system who are often written off as bad people who could never change. Forensic psychology is one of the most popular specialties within psychology today. We see countless true crime documentaries, cold case files, serial killer documentaries, and even podcasts about it. As someone who is earning my doctorate in clinical psychology, my end goal is to become a forensic psychologist, whether that be conducting forensic assessments as an evaluator for court or as a treatment provider. Either way, holistics needs to be incorporated so that we do our diligence in assessing and treating someone appropriately. And, as a result, we uphold their constitutional right to a fair trial.For this special episode, I thought I would bring on one of the most established forensic psychologists in the field. Dr. Lina Haji is a licensed clinical psychologist and licensed mental health counselor specializing in psychodiagnostic assessment, forensic assessment, dual diagnosis, serious and persistent mental illness, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and substance abuse treatment in Miami, Florida. Dr. Haji completed a master’s degree in forensic psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Albizu University, and a doctorate in clinical psychology with a forensic emphasis from Albizu University. Her training includes inpatient and outpatient settings, private forensic practice, and an APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship. She was trained at the master’s and doctoral levels in assessing and treating individuals ranging from mild psychiatric symptoms to those with serious and persistent mental illness, dually diagnosed patients, personality disorder patients, and psychopathy. Her clinical experience over the last 20 years includes working with mentally ill and dually diagnosed adults in inpatient and outpatient settings including correctional facilities, substance abuse rehabilitation centers, outpatient clinics, psychiatric hospitals, and private practice in four states, NY, NJ, CA, and FL. In addition, she has supervised master’s level clinicians, and post-doctoral residents, and served as clinical director for a 500-patient maximum-security correctional facility. Her ultimate goal as a psychologist, regardless of population, is to accurately diagnose and identify patient strengths and areas for growth in order to individualize treatment needs and goals better.Our conversation is rich and like no other. We talk about state vs privatized prisons, the issues and implications of misdiagnoses in the criminal justice system, debunk myths and perceptions about inmates, problems with social media, forensic assessment, perpetuation of violence, getting stuck in the correctional system, self-accountability, the realities of forensic work, and the importance of social justice, policy, and advocacy work.For More Information About Dr. Lina Haji:Website: www.rise.psychological.comInstagram: rise_psychological_servicesYouTube: Rise Psychological ServicesOther Helpful Forensic Resources:APA Forensic Psychology Speciality: https://www.apa.org/ed/graduate/specialize/forensicThe Forensic Psychologist Podcast with Drs Nicole M.

All the time we hear the phrase "the authentic self". It's a great buzzword, but what does it actually mean? Many of us use it to describe becoming the "best version" of ourselves or reaching our "full potential". However, what does that actually look like? Today, I discuss my own interpretation of it and how you can tangibly get there. In essence, it's about congruency. It's about identifying our values, goals, and interests and aligning those with our current behaviors. But, without a doubt, it'll lead us to grief. Let's get into it!

For this month’s episode, I wanted to talk about burnout. Maybe it is because I am at the end of my first year in grad school and have been feeling a little worn out. But, I also think this feeling is all too common for a lot of us. We work really hard, push our limits for too long, do not properly give ourselves a break, and then feel the weight of the world on our shoulders. It's like a marathon. We want to win and beat our competitors. But if we give too much energy at the start, we won't have enough energy at the end. And sometimes we do notice burnout creeping up on us but other times we don't. For many of us, including myself, burnout has more than just an impact on our mental health. It is a whole bundle of complications possibly on our physical, relational, emotional, and even spiritual health that can sometimes go unnoticed until our bodies finally force us to take a break.
As someone who knows this all too well, Jordan Smith wanted to speak about her experiences with burnout. She is a Colorado realtor in Durango as well as a full-time country club manager and aspiring content creator. She highlights how she has transformed from a "guilt-ridden workaholic" to an advocate for self-care and work-life balance. She too was and still is someone working to find that balance between being unnecessarily productive and actually being effective. She strives every day to create a culture of well-being in both her personal and professional spheres and has come to understand that true success isn't just about accomplishments; it's about leading a fulfilling life that encompasses all aspects of well-rounded living.

Welcome back to another monthly Holistic Tips episode! This month we are discussing grief. Back in September of last year, I posted an episode also about grief called “The Grief Workshop”. If you like this episode, go check that one out as well! The guest had a wonderful story, and I learned so much from her. This episode explains how grief is more than death- how we usually think about grief. In reality, grief is more common than we think. It's about any unexpected change we experience and learning how to adapt to a new reality. It can be the breakup we went through and the memories, expectations, and future plans we had with that person that are now lost. It can be graduating from school and also having to say goodbye to friends and family. It’s healing from trauma and also letting go of the past version of yourself that no longer serves you. For the offenders I used to work with, it's about letting go of that hurt and anger they've experienced in the past and also transitioning out of prison culture and into a new society that can feel very rejecting. Grief is so much more normal than we think, and even the happiest of times can still manifest feelings of grief. I’m passionate about helping clients heal from grief because it is always so overlooked and yet a root cause of so many underlying complications. Let’s get into it!

Are you someone who wants to become more consistent in your meditation practice? Or, are you new to meditation and just need some supplies? For this month's episode, I met with Paige Scroger, the founder of May Be Paige, who has a passion for making mediation simpler!

Welcome back to another monthly Holistic Tips episode! This month we are discussing the differences between masculine and feminine energy. When we talk about these energies, they do not refer to any specific sex, gender, or societal expectation of either. This energetic relationship exists in all humans which is why they are so important to become aware of so we can see when we are relying on one more than the other. Therefore, if we want to reach our most holistic selves, we must balance them. In this episode, I cover the differences between each, how the wounded masculine and feminine energies present, and the skills we can use to access each. Let's get into it!

Are you interested in astrology but may not know where to start? Or, are you a seasoned astrologer and want to learn more from another expert? Maybe you are just somewhere in between and want to sharpen your skills! If you are one of these people, this episode is for you!

When exploring new avenues of our health, one thing to discuss is our mineral consumption. And, at least in psychology, we don't often talk about the importance of minerals, why we should care about them, and how to better incorporate them into our lifestyles. So, for this episode, I invited Tanja Shaw onto the show who is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Kinesiologist, and mindset coach who specializes in minerals. She is the founder of Fit + Vibrant Coaching Program, owner of Ascend Fitness + Lifestyle, a holistic health coaching studio, and host of the Fit + Vibrant You Podcast. Through functional lab testing, she helps her clients live fitter and healthier lives!

Welcome back to another monthly Holistic Tips episode! This month we are discussing the differences between self-awareness and self-diagnosis, specifically, how stigmatizing self-diagnosing can be. And, although social media is a great tool for the initial understanding of topics (especially for those who do not have access or the means to seek specialty professional help), I emphasize how social media health advice and pop psychology should be taken with a grain of salt. Please always consult with a trusted healthcare professional before you begin posting about it or categorizing yourself. Let's get into it!

One of the greatest healers of many health concerns is movement, whether that be running, going to the gym, dancing, stretching, walking, or doing yoga. We need movement in order to feel good about ourselves and our bodies. More specifically, when we are talking about yoga, it seems as though it has slowly pushed away marginalized populations from accessing it- just like many other mental health interventions. As a result, Tamika Caston-Miller joined this conversation to not only talk about her experience as a yoga professional and helping her clients but also advocate for social justice, share information about the BIPOC burden, and how we, as agents, can make this practice more accessible to marginalized populations.

Earlier this year, I had a CPA on the show who spoke about how our money stories could be impacting our earning potential (Manifesting Money). Since then, I wanted to learn more about how to build healthier money habits, how to have a positive money mindset, how to find balance with our money, and how we can change the way we think about money to improve our overall wellness!
Today I invited Tony Steuer onto the show who is an internationally recognized financial preparedness advocate, award-winning author, podcaster, and fintech advisor. His mission is to help people get ready and stay prepared with money while changing how we think about money.

Welcome back to another monthly Holistic Tips episode! This month we are talking about building trust (either for the first time or after it's been broken). Today, I introduce Brene Brown's BRAVING Inventory and some examples of each. Then, I explain how trust not only needs to be mutual between each person in the relationship, but it also needs to start intrinsically with ourselves. Finally, I end by posing the question: how can we ever begin to trust others if we cannot trust ourselves or not uphold each element of trust in ourselves first?For More Information About Brene Brown and the BRAVING Inventory:https://brenebrown.com/resources/the-braving-inventory/--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/morgan-rutkowski/support
Relationships are an integral part of the human experience. In fact, humans are social creatures, and with that comes relationships! So whether that be friends, family members, coworkers, intimate ones, ex-partners, our kids, or our pets, we utilize partnerships to not only become closer with someone else but also as a way to grow as individuals and learn about ourselves. Today, I invited Lyndsey Fraser onto the show who is a licensed marriage and family therapist as well as a certified sex therapist and an enneagram specialist! In our episode, we talk about the basics of enneagrams and how to utilize them to enhance compassion and empathy toward our partners. We also explore the long-term relationship cycle and sex in our relationship.For More Information about Lyndsey Fraser:Instagram: @lyndseyfraserlmftContact Information: https://linktr.ee/lyndseyfraserlmft?fbclid=PAAaZrtLSkeT9ZwPq7nGXKfQHyfZpcGVyWglo0tNwjADyD4gQ7-cC7HtzUPbwFree Enneagram Test: https://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/testPaid/More Detailed Enneagram Test: https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/Lyndsey Fraser's Friend Mentioned (Valerie Wanamaker): https://www.valeriewanamaker.com/--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/morgan-rutkowski/support
So, we have all heard that communication is key to a healthy relationship. But what does that mean? And what does that look like? Often, we think we are communicating well but, in actuality, we are not in touch with our needs or our partner’s needs. We come across as defensive and it feels like our partner isn’t listening to us. Because of this, we start to have unnecessary arguments and it becomes two partners pinned against each other instead of them fighting the problem together. We also know that communication is a huge barrier in ourselves! The worse we communicate with ourselves, the worse we will see and feel and even change how we perceive the world!So today, I invited on Dr. April Givens who is a leading Dallas psychotherapist, author, inspirational speaker, practice owner, and clinical supervisor. For 12 years, she has been making her mark in the mental health field and the business world with her "REAL" communication style and proven strategies and techniques that make her stand out among the rest. In her clinical work, she provides individual therapy for teens, couples, and adults under her practice and has been featured in several different articles and podcasts, and has written her own book!For More Information About Dr. April Givens:Instagram: @dr.aprilgivensBook: Strategies and Tips to Improve Your Overall Well-being; Self-help Journal for Mental Health and RelationshipsHelpful Resources: https://linktr.ee/DrAprilGivens?fbclid=PAAaa5EwMKYXujtQX_me51aGlZTdbOhqXE7QHIeQ1YYpkOQXuliXKGyW-FZSw

The human body is complex and interconnected. When it's thriving, we feel great, and the brain is in charge of maintaining this physiological balance. However, if we suffer an injury, especially neurologically like a traumatic brain injury (TBI), our body’s systems become dysregulated, and we can begin to struggle to try to find that previous equilibrium again.So today, I invited Dr. Michelle Eisenmann to join the show! She is a functional neurologist who has earned her doctorate degree in chiropractic, a master's degree in clinical neurology, and a bachelor's degree in kinesiology. She also specializes in functional neurology and helps patients recovering from neurological injuries such as concussions, TBIs, movement disorders, post-stroke rehabilitation strategies, vestibular disorders, and more!

Over the course of this podcast, I have brought on a variety of people sharing their expertise in services that could help you with your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. However, what does it mean to have a "holistic intervention"? What alternative healing methods could you try that could provide so many additional healing benefits?
Today, I wanted to bring on Lacey Katzer, a current holistic practitioner with immense experience and knowledge. She is a state and nationally-certified reflexologist here in Washington state, a certified yoga educator, a reiki level II practitioner, and an ayurvedic practitioner.

One of the main reasons I began Holistic Healing and this podcast was my desire to share how alternative sources of healing are just as powerful as what is marketed to us. As I continued to be turned away and unsatisfied by modern medicine, I found myself being called to explore the outdoors. It was then I began to realize how aligning nature can be to help us become our most authentic selves.
Today, I have Michelle Klatt, a Canadian content creator, onto the show who is using her platforms to encourage people to embrace nature while also normalizing mental health in the outdoors. Being someone who has also battled with her own mental health struggles, she found the wilderness to be a healing space. With over 28 thousand followers on Instagram, she is here to share her healing journey! In this episode, we dive deep into the biopsychosocial benefits of being in nature, getting sunlight, grounding/ earthing, and how the outdoors should not be gatekept by anyone!

Many of us have gone through different identities in our lifetime, whether that is within our careers, interests, relationships, etc. There is so much change and suffering we endure and that can bring up very difficult emotions and questions we have to now ask ourselves. But, ultimately, it can foster resilience, strength, and courage.

Since starting this podcast, I have not spoken with anyone yet who has struggled or still struggles with substance use. For many (if not all), substance use coincides with mental health. Therefore, mental health interventions can be an effective strategy for dealing with substance addictions. [TRIGGER WARNING] Some of the realities of addiction can be overwhelming to listen to. Please, listen with this in mind.Today, I wanted to bring on Caleb Newman who currently has experience being an addict in recovery.

Welcome back to another monthly Holistic Tips episode! Over the last month, I have spoken to many of my clients about the importance of emotional resilience when making changes in their lives. And, to be clear, this is not about having a lack of boundaries, “putting up” with unacceptable behaviors/systemic issues, or ignoring how we feel. Emotional resilience is about having the autonomy, or the choice, to decide the impact and the intensity of the emotions that come up. Emotional resilience is about taking the power back and being in control of our own emotions again- instead of our emotions being in control of us.

But, I wanted to expand into an area I think is also super important that we don’t often talk about which is our financial health!So today, I brought on Clare Wood who is a money mentor, CPA, writer, speaker, and fellow podcaster. As the owner of The Profit Academy, she uses proven and practical money management principles combined with powerful mindset work to teach business owners how to make more money. She mentions that everyone has ‘money stories’ that limit their ability to earn more.
