In this episode of Holding Healthy Space, I dive into one of the biggest questions I get asked as a health promotion and psychology graduate: how to encourage our loved ones to engage in healthier behaviours. We cover a staple, health promotion theory called the transtheoretical model of change, a theoretical model called McGuire’s hierarchy of effects about how health messages can fail or succeed, and a framework to keep in your health communication toolkit when holding healthy space.

In the second episode of Holding Healthy Space, we chat about impostor syndrome: what it is, how I have learned to navigate it, and how it might show up when we’re holding healthy space. I am absolutely not a pro when it comes to impostor syndrome ... but hey, maybe that’s the impostor syndrome talking!
